Chapter 207
After wandering by the lake for a while, Avery didn’t want to head home just yet.
Instead, they found themselves drifting into the comfort of Alexander’s car, where they could escape the cold.
Alexander’s luxurious ’Miracle’, worth a fortune, was spacious and beautifully designed. Leaning back against the plush leather seats felt as inviting as a five-star hotel. Avery drifted into a deep sleep, comforted by Alexander’s presence, which filled her with both happiness and security.
But morning came too soon, signaling it was time for Alexander to head back.
"Aww," Avery sighed, leaning against the car door with a pout. "I don’t know when we’ll see each other again."
With his sunglasses on and the car window half-open, Alexander flashed her a gentle smile. "Whenever Miss Avery wants to see me, I’ll make it happen—as long as I can get away."
Her cheeks flushed as she bit her lip. "Okay, okay. You should get going. If I want to see you, I could always sneak over to find you."
Alexander didn’t say anything more. He buckled his seatbelt and gave her another smile. "Goodbye."
Avery waved back at him, a swirl of emotions churning inside her. "Goodbye."
At Rosemont City International Airport, Joy stood at the security checkpoint, hugging her mother, Nellie. "Mom, you really should head back. David is still so young, and you can’t leave him alone for too long."
Nellie sighed, her expression filled with regret. "I wanted to spend Christmas with you, but now you’re leaving. I feel terrible for not being there with you."
