Chapter 289: Always So Pretty
After lunch, only a few games were left, including tug-of-war. Sports Day would be concluded at three-thirty in the afternoon, giving the teachers and students time to clean up the field area before sunset.
The sun had softened as Lariette and Nora left the cafeteria. The giant ball of light cast a warm golden hue across the school compound.
The smell of grilled corn, sweet waffles and hot chocolate wafted in the air, coming from the sales booths. Some students and parents went from one stall to the next while the others remained at the field.
"Oh, that’s your dear hubby."
Nora nudged Lariette’s elbow once she saw a man whose crimson locks shone under the sunlight coming their way. His tall height and striking good looks made him easily spotted among the crowd.
Lariette beamed, her cheeks flushed. She playfully smacked Nora’s back, "Hehe, I gonna drag him to the photo booth. Later, Nora."
Lariette rushed toward Ruediger. Nora’s laughter followed from behind. She chuckled when Ruediger sped up while trying not to bump into the children. Then, they met in the middle.
"Where are we going?"
Ruediger arched his brows, referring to Lariette’s latest message. She said she wanted to bring him to one of the stalls. A gleam of mischief flickered in her sapphire eyes.
Lariette grabbed Ruediger’s hand, laughter bubbling up her lips, "Hehe, you’ll see. It’ll just take a few minutes. Come!"
Ruediger narrowed his eyes, "Seems like I don’t have any say in the matter. Why? Gonna sell me now?"
