Cedrick paid no heed to his grumbles and continued, “Has the snow piled up on the ground?”

Having been brushed off, Treyton had no outlet to vent his mounting frustration. He cast an impatientglance at the garden, where heavy snowflakes were falling relentlessly.

“It just started showing tonight, so the snow hasn’t piled up on the ground yet. But it has piled up on theleaves, though.”

Cedrick listened to him quietly and painted the snowy image in his brain. A half smile nudged his lips a

he asked, “Is it pretty?”

Illuminated by the street lamp, the snowy scene in the garden was a pretty sight.

However, Treyton wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the scene. He was nodding off and wanted nothing thanto bury himself in his bed.

Nevertheless, Cedrick seemed enthusiastic and reached out to catch the snowflakes. “Is it alsosnowing at Erihal? Is Gwenny enjoying the snow just like me?”

Oh, he’s missing Kiddo. Moved, Treyton let out a sigh without saying anything.

“We’re gazing at the same sky. Does she realize I’m longing for her? I miss her dearly. Truly, I do…”Cedrick’s voice quivered, weakened by the biting cold. It was impossible to determine how long he hadendured the chilly wind.

However, his eyes which had lost focus seemed to sparkle when he expressed his longing forGwendolyn..

Treyton was a little moved after witnessing Cedrick’s plight, and his tone softened. “Indeed, it’s thesame sky, but it should be morning where she is. If she learns that you ventured out at night and fell ill,she’ll be upset. You must prioritize your well–being and seek treatment until she returns. Let me helpyou to your room. Later, I’ll bring you a cup of hot tea to help warm you up. If you fall ill tomorrow,Kieran and I will have to take care of you. Kiddo will also worry about you.”

Cedrick was still focused on feeling the snowflake in his palm and continued asking, “You told me thismorning that she won’t marry Charles to get the antidote. Does that still count?”

Well…

Treyton wasn’t sure about that, but he had to lic to placate Cedrick..

“Absolutely. Kiddo assured me that she has a foolproof plan to acquire the antidote. She will returnwithin two weeks. Plus, Nico has gone her. He has received extensive training from the Federal Bureauof Investigation for many years, so we can trust him.”

Hearing that, Cedrick felt much better.

Nico’s with Gwenny. He will risk his life to protect her. I hope they will make it back

safely.

“Come, let’s go back to the bedroom.”

Treyton held his arm and led him back to the bedroom. After turning downstairs to prepare some gingertea.

The temperature took a sudden plunge in the afternoon, and within moments, heavy snowfall blanketedthe courtyard, transforming it into a picturesque winter wonderland.

Being on the outskirts provided an unobstructed view, amplifying the beauty of the snowy scene.

Gwendolyn enjoyed the snowy scene by the window and soon spaced out.

Nico approached and handed her a thick cape, then proceeded to close the windows. “Thetemperature here is colder than in Chanaea, so please make sure you layer up, Ms. Gwendolyn.”

Gwendolyn didn’t refuse his offer and pulled the cape around her.

She had an important mission to accomplish, so she needed to take good care of herself and couldn’tafford to fall sick.

Noticing the sadness in her expression, Nico asked in a gentle tone, “Ms. Gwendolyn, do you missBoss?”

Gwendolyn bobbed her head, her eyes fixed on the snowy landscape outside. “The view isbreathtaking. I was thinking of taking a photo to show him once we’re back, but then I remembered ourphones were confiscated. Besides, he can’t see anything right now.”

Nico felt his heart being squeezed.

He felt a pang of sadness seeing Gwendolyn’s disappointed expression. He could barely imagine howshe was coping right now.

A tense atmosphere filled the room after their conversation, accompanied by a subtle undercurrent ofsadness.

Nico wanted to console her but had no idea what to say.

Finally, the silence was broken by a knock on the door.

They quickly regained their senses.

Gwendolyn glanced at the listening devices on the table. Understanding Gwendolyn’s silent message,Nico carefully returned the listening devices to their original hiding spots. He then retreated to his roomupstairs, locking the door behind him.

The person outside began pounding on the door anxiously.

Calmly, Gwendolyn got up to open the door.

The door swung open, revealing a man dressed in a luxurious fur coat. His once worn–out face hadregained its refined appearance, no longer bearing the marks of his time in the high–security prison.His eyes sparkled as he flashed a charming smile, adding to his undeniable charm that surpassed eventhat of

a woman.

His body was covered in snow, and it seemed that he had made his way over hastily.

If Gwendolyn had seen him seven years ago, she would undeniably be in awe of his handsome face.

However, Charles‘ handsome appearance did nothing to diminish the pure disgust she felt for him.

“We last met a week ago, and you’re now all dressed up, huh? Alas, your pretty looks can’t concealyour vile heart, you filthy animal,” she sneered.

Charles wasn’t mad at all despite getting mocked. In fact, he was beaming.

“Oh Gwen, you’re such a sweet talker. It’s been a while since we last met, but you’re still as stunning asever. No wonder I’m head over heels in love with you,” he told her earnestly.

Gwendolyn’s expression turned frosty as she turned to stare at the snow outside, paying no heed to hisfrivolity.

Charles entered the living room with a casual demeanor. He unbuttoned his coat and casually threw itonto the couch. “Are you settling in well here? Did you enjoy lunch? If the cook’s cooking style doesn’tsuit your taste, I can arrange for a different one,” he remarked.

Gwendolyn settled on the couch across from him and poured herself some coffee. “You’re the one whodisgusts me. Why don’t you end your life with a knife?”

“If I die, how am I going to save you? You also won’t get the antidote for the poison, and Cedrick willdie. Well, my life is quite valuable, isn’t it?”

Gwendolyn was utterly repelled by Charles‘ statement.

“I now realize that you’re nothing more than a beast. I should have seen it when you taught me how toshoot. Back then, I should have aimed and shot you dead,” she declared, her voice filled with anger.

Charles chuckled upon hearing her words. “Oh, Gwen, you’re truly adorable. My love for you onlyintensifies with each passing day. I believe our married life will be incredibly interesting!” he exclaimedwith enthusiasm.

He fixed his icy blue eyes upon Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn refused to waste time with him. “I’m here now. When will you give me Super Antiviral?”

“There’s no rush. You should spend a few days getting used to the surroundings. We’ll register ourmarriage, then hold our wedding. On the day we consummate our wedding, I’ll hand the antidote to youpersonally.”

Hearing that, Gwendolyn balled her fists up beneath her cape.

Consummate our wedding? I think I’ll puke even if he touches my hair. I’d rather drag him to hell thansleep with him.

Biting back the urge to kill him immediately, Gwendolyn forced herself to calm down and let out an icysnort. “It looks like you’re not confident of getting the antidote. Before coming here, I asked around andlearned that it belongs to the royal family. There is only one in Erihal. Why would the king give it toyou?”
