Chapter 198

though Gavin reacted quickly, his puffer jacket still ended up with

two

small holes.

Madeline was holding the fireworks, laughing so hard that she could barely stand straight. "You always said I was dumb since childhood, but are you wire you re really that smart!"

Cavin chuckled awkwardly. Tve never set off fireworks with anyone before. I've only seen it online! My hands were so cold just now that I couldn't get the lighter to work. Feel how cold my hands are!"

Without hesitation, Gavin shoved his hands down Madeline's collar, making her yelp and dart away. They laughed and chased each other around.

Caleb stood by the window upstairs, looking out. His usually stern expression softened.

Holding a cup of water, he took a sip and softly commanded, "Prepare ginger tea for them, so they won't catch a cold." The servant respectfully went off to do the task

Caleb's gaze drooped, his silhouette tinged with loneliness. He just watched them play

by with the fireworks in the snow, completely absorbed.

His hean had never feh young, but at that moment, he found himself envious of their youth.

By the time Madeline shipped into the house, her face was almost numb from the cold.

Sarah came over just in time with a hot cup of ginger tea. "Ms. Larson, warm yourself up. The st

snow is wet. Change into clean slippers"

Before Gavin came in, he took off his puffer jacket and shook it. You're so heartless, putting so much snow in my

hood!"

up of ginger tea, wrinkled her nose, and said. "You started it!" she accused.

Madeline held the

cup

Gavin had a bowl of ginger i

ger tea too. He didn't really like the taste, but seeing Madeline drink it, he frowned and reluctantly drank it too. Madeline's shoes were indeed soaked. After changing into dry ones and enjoying the warmth of the heater, she felt all nice and warm, tomorrow," Madeline waved to Gavin and quickly ran back to her room to change.

"I'm going to bed. It's almost 11. See you tomo

Gavin joked with Sarah, saying, Tve noticed that every time we get together,

r, Caleb is always the host."

Sarah chuckled, "Gavin, Mr. Fisher owns so many properties, so it's convenient for everyone. Since you've traveled such a long way, would you like some late-night snacks"

"No, thanks. Just prepare breakfast for Caleb. We're eating outside, replied Gavin, Sarah said okay

Probably from playing in the snow, Madeline broke a sweat. Shortly after lying down, she fell asleep. Her brow was relaxed, and she appeared completely at ease.

She slept in and naturally woke up the morning. As she walked to the window, she noticed Gavin had already built two snowmen outside.

The bigger one was wearing sunglasses, looking cool, with a few small roses stuck into its chest.

The smaller snowman leaned against the bigger one, wore a fluffy scarf, and even had blush, looking irresistibly cute. They looked just like a couple. "He's got quite the imagination and patience. Madeline stretched and went downstairs after freshening up. Gavin was wearing a gray-blue puffer jacket, not as stylish or cool as the one he wore last night.

"You changed your clothes, huh?" Madeline asked

"I had no choice," Gavin said with a click of his tongue. I got two holes in my clothes yesterday, so I went to the nearest mall this morning. I'll need to visit a bigger shopping district this week. I didn't bring much clothing with me."

Madeline sat at the dining table, but strangely, breakfast wasn't ready today. She thought maybe Sarah hadn't returned from

from grocery shopping Sitting on the chair, she casually picked up her phone and checked her grades from last semester. She passed her Uprian language exam with excellent results and also excelled in all her courses,

She was very happy about it. After all, in her previous life, she hadn't gone to college. She worked extra hard to fit in with the other good students. Caleb noticed her enthusiasm for studying and mentioned he would replace someone to help her improve her Uprin speaking skills. Chapter 198

Madeline thought Caleb would hire a tutor for her, so she never asked about it

"Madeline. pack your bags quickly. We leave in half an hour, Gavin urged.

"Leave?" Madeline looked at Gavin in confusion Where to?"

"We'll go to the mountain retreat for a soak in the hot springs. I caught a chill last night and need to recuperate," Gavin said with delight. "Plus, soaking in a hot spring while watching the snowfall is such a treat."

Madeline didn't ask much. She packed up and left with Gavin. Unbeknownst to her, just half an hour after she left, Caleb brought her "Uprian tutor

Caleb pushed the door open, standing next to an exceptionally tall and gentle-looking man whose features were strikingly delicate, and his presence was even more remarkable.

He had a scholarly air that made him seem almost otherworldly, unaffected by the ordinary world. He smiled gently, his eyes taking in the room's furnishings, and said softly, "It's quite comfortable here! "As long as you replace it comfortable," Caleb replied, crossing his arms with a straight face. "Madeline loves learning. I told her I'd get someone to help with her Uprian speaking skills, Bobby, you often host international guests in National Painting Academy, and you've traveled abroad a lot, so your Uprian speaking skills must be excellent."

"Of course," Bobby chuckled. his eyes full of laughter. He was like a solitary pear blossom on snowy branches, lofty yet graceful. His steps were steady, and his clothes were impeccably clean, like someone bathed in the glow of moonlight.

Bobby added, "However, I remember that you're in business, and your foreign language skills are quite good too."

Caleb pressed his lips together. "I'm usually very busy, and I have interpreters, so I don't need to know languages myself. If I had enough time, I wouldn't mind teaching her myself,"

Caleb hesitated slightly. "It's just... I'm not the most patient person. I'm afraid I might speak harshly and upset her. Your personality is considered the best among the twelve of us, so you're the most suitable for this."

Bobby nodded slightly. "It seems like your personality hasn't changed much."

Sarah heard the noise and came over with a tray of tea. When she saw Bobby, she felt the place wasn't tidy enough for someone like him to visit. Bobby's features were graceful, his eyes seeming to hide countless secrets. Yet his behavior was naturally gentle, which made him seem very noble.

"Bobby" Sarah called out

Bobby smiled and nodded. "Sarah, it's been a while."

Sarah smiled. Bobby had a way of making people feel comfortable, but his noble and proud nature ensured that no one would underestimate his authority

She said, "Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. None of you guys visited when Caleb was not around."

Caleb noticed how quiet the house was. "Where's Madeline? Is she still asleep? Did she catch a cold from playing in the snow last night"

"No," Sarah replied quickly. Ms. Larson was taken out by Gavin, and I don't think she'll be back soon. I overheard retreat, so they might be gone for a few days" Caleb raised a hand to rub his forehead. As expected, Gavin's lively personality didn't let him stay still for long.
