Chapter 314
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 314<\/p>\n
After they leave the club, Louis doesn\u2019t go back to hotel with others. Instead, he takes Lily to get in the private car beside the street. It seems like they are heading to somewhere else.<\/p>\n
Lily looks out of the window and doesn\u2019t know they are going.<\/p>\n
She asks Louis, \u201cWhy aren\u2019t we going back to the hotel? Are you hungry already?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA little bit.\u201d Louis says with a deep voice.<\/p>\n
Lily is not stupid and knows what he is talking about. Her face blushes quickly and she gives him a hard punch. She feels lucky that the driver doesn\u2019t understand Chinese.<\/p>\n
Soon, the black car drives out of the city and arrives at a holiday village following the navigation system.<\/p>\n
All buildings of the holiday village are Japanese-style. They are low-key and elegant. Roof and trees are all covered by a thin layer of snow. It looks like they are integrated with the white.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo pretty!\u201d Lily praises the view before her eyes. The heat that gets out of her mouth soon dissipates into the air. She says, \u201cIt is like wonderland!\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis walks to her and smiles lightly, \u201cThe snow today is not heavy enough. It won\u2019t make piles. I asked them to make artificial snow. That\u2019s why you are seeing this view.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily turns to him immediately, \u201cI was wondering why the snow was so heavy. It turns out that it is man-made snow!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s to fulfill Mrs. Smith\u2019s wish to make a snowman.\u201d Louis fastens her scarf, \u201cWe have the whole holiday village to ourselves today. You can choose whichever room Mrs. Smith wants to stay in and do whatever Mrs. Smith wants to do to enjoy herself. Nobody will stop you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt must be expensive?\u201d Lily thinks of the money he spent.<\/p>\n
He booked the whole holiday village and ordered so much man-made snow. It must take a large amount of money.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay. Only 30 thousand a night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily takes a deep breath. Her expression changes.<\/p>\n
Several seconds later, Lily bends down to grab the snow, muttering, \u201cI must make full use of the time. I can\u2019t waste it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis brings over a shovel, \u201cMrs. Smith, we need to make a large snowman. Are you trying to make a snowman as large as your palm?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot really…\u201d Lily prolongs her tone. With a snowball in her hand, she steps back.<\/p>\n
\u201cEm?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily smiles slyly to Louis and toughly tosses the snowball in her hand to him.<\/p>\n
Louis doesn\u2019t expect this. The snowball breaks apart on his shoulder, and some of it even hits his face. The coldness almost makes him numb. But the woman across from him laughs even more happily.<\/p>\n
He strides to chase her and pretends to be angry, \u201cYou dare to toss a snowball to me. Are you so bold now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could have hidden from it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course Lily won\u2019t just stand on the spot and let him get her. She runs on the snow. While running, she also grabs snow from the ground and makes snowballs to toss them to Louis. She is having much fun.<\/p>\n
Louis\u2019s legs are long, but he purposely doesn\u2019t run away from the snowballs. Instead, he lets them hit him. Occasionally, he grabs snow from the ground too and makes snowballs to toss them to her. He just wants to be with her.<\/p>\n
After a while, Lily is all sweaty. Her chest rises and falls. Then she gets the shovel and shovels the snow. With the help of Louis, she makes a big snowman.<\/p>\n
She also puts her scarf around the snowman.<\/p>\n
Looking at the snowman which is almost 2 meters high, Lily is very satisfied. Though her hands become red because of the wind, she doesn\u2019t care, \u201cFinally, my wish to make a big snowman becomes reality!\u201d<\/p>\n
Several years ago when she was abroad for further study, when winter arrived, she told John that if the snow came, she would make a snowman.<\/p>\n
And John said okay.<\/p>\n
When it was almost Christmas, there was a big snow in Country Y. John came to find her early and took her outside. He said when the snow was heavy enough at night, they would make a snowman.<\/p>\n
But when they got out of the theatre and wanted to make a snowman, John received a call. He was told an emergency required his help. Then he took her back to the campus.<\/p>\n
Then that thing happened, and she put him behind bars with her own hands.<\/p>\n
Things from the past suddenly all come to her, leaving Lily in a trance until the happy Christmas carol rises up beside her ears.<\/p>\n
It is past 12 o\u2019clock now. It\u2019s Christmas.<\/p>\n
He coughs hard and his hands are covered with blood.<\/p>\n
Lily is very worried and wants to help him. But he falls on the ground with his face up. Blood is all over his body. Lily is so scared that she screams.<\/p>\n
She opens her eyes and sees the warm, yellow droplight. She is still breathing heavily.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Louis is woken by her scream as well. He looks at her pale face and holds her into his arms, mollifying her, \u201cIt\u2019s just a nightmare. I am here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily buries her face into his arms. She still remembers every detail of that dream.<\/p>\n
She dreamed of Jason\u2019s death before. Then Jason took a bullet for her and died.<\/p>\n
Now she is dreaming of John\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Lily dares not to think too much and holds Louis\u2019 waist with her hands. Her voice is trembling, \u201cLouis, I am so scared.\u201d<\/p>\n
Louis kisses on her forehead, \u201cIt is just a nightmare. Don\u2019t think too much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Is it just a nightmare?<\/p>\n
Lily doesn\u2019t know what to say and just holds him tightly. Only in his arms can she feel safe. Louis fondles her hair and consoles her gently.<\/p>\n
At this moment, the phone on the table turns on and begins vibrating.<\/p>\n
Louis picks up the phone and looks at the screen before answering the call. He says with a low voice, \u201cDaniel, what\u2019s up?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLeigh\u2019s father died.\u201d<\/p>\n
The room is very quiet. So Lily, who is in Louis\u2019 arms, can hear what Daniel says at the other end of the phone.<\/p>\n
She raises her head in terror and holds her breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ropes of the truck weren\u2019t fastened tight. The steel bars on the truck fell off. The car that Leigh\u2019s father was in was driving behind the truck. A steel bar pierced through the car window and hit into uncle\u2019s heart. He was sitting in the back. And he nearly died on the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2251","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
