Chapter 106 - 106 Whitened hair
?Chapter 106: Whitened hair Chapter 106: Whitened hair When Victoria Garcia stepped out of her flat, she found that subtle snowflakes had gracefully begun to fall outside, melting instantly as they touched the ground.
Arnold Johnson stood outside her door, his eyes unmovingly fixed on her, a soft smile playing on his lips.
In the dim light, she looked at him, her expression almost dazed.
“How did you get here?”
He took her hand, his lips curling upwards in a suggestive smile, “I just missed you.”
She looked at his elegant face tinged with a hint of masculine charm, strangely, hearing his words made her heart pound faster.
When he led her by the hand, away from her doorstep, she was surprisingly devoid of any thoughts of refusal.
In no time, they got into his car.
Throughout the drive, he held her hand from time to time, giving her a sense of being strongly needed, even more strangely, she found herself enjoying this feeling.
On Riverside Avenue, Arnold pulled over.
On the river bank, still holding her hand, he said, “I heard that it’s quite romantic to take a walk in the snow.”
“Because as two people walk in the snow, gradually they start turning white-haired together.”
She lifted her head and smiled at his eyes, “I would have never guessed that you would believe in such things.”
“I like the sentiment behind it.”
He asked her again, “Don’t you girls like this kind of stuff?”
This question stumped her because Victoria Garcia didn’t normally take the time to think about these things.
So on the spot, she thought hard, and watched as snowflakes slowly fell on his hair, melted, then landed on his clothes and melted away again…
“A romance novelist once said that the most romantic thing is to grow old together.” As Victoria Garcia said this, a small smile crept upon her lips.
“I never expected that you would read romance novels.”
“That romance novelist is my roommate, haha.” Victoria Garcia didn’t know why but she suddenly found it really amusing.
Arnold quietly watched her laugh, brighter than the dazzling night sky.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, they were alone in the middle of the river bank.
Arnold held her hand and stopped.
Just as they stood still for less than half a minute, a sudden loud sound of fireworks echoed from the opposite bank.
Instinctively, Victoria Garcia looked up at the sky, where the firework bloomed into a magnificent red camellia.
Then, one after another, fireworks mimicking camellias bloomed across the sky, all unique in their own charm…
Besides camellias, various heart-shaped fireworks burst into the sky, brimming with cuteness.
Victoria Garcia turned her head and looked at the man beside her, her bewildered gaze meeting his.
“Happy New Year.”
He didn’t ask her whether she liked it or not, but she knew that these fireworks were customized for her. He had no other intent, he just wanted to wish her: Happy New Year.
He conveyed his wishes in exactly the way Victoria Garcia preferred.
“You can make three wishes, they say wishes made in the presence of fireworks you love are very effective.” His meaningful smile, at this moment, conveyed a unique tenderness.
Victoria Garcia let go of his hand, pressed her palms together, and earnestly made three wishes.
Her devotion was imprinted in his eyes and etched onto his heart.
He loved her; he loved every bit of her, the good and the less good.
