Chapter 322
After that, everyone returned to their rooms. Celine placed her luggage down and pulled out her phone. As she opened WhatsApp, she saw Adam’s request. He wanted to add her.
They were divorced now, and he was with Carly. Since Celine didn’t want to be tangled up with him again, she ignored the request.
She walked out of the room and happened to see Randall coming out of the room across from hers. He smiled and said, “Celine, I’m staying right across from you. If you need anything, just let me know,”
Celine smiled back. “Okay.”
Celine, Randall, and their seniors walked out of the hotel. In front of them was the vast, endless sea of Marland
Suddenly, Randall said, “Celine, it’s snowing.”
Celine looked up, and snowflakes began to fall heavily. Indeed, it was snowing
The streets were nearly deserted as snowflakes filled the air, quickly blanketing the ground in white. The roaring waves of the sea crashed relentlessly against the shore, where blue met white, creating a breathtaking view.
Celine was wrapped tightly in a long white down coat as she walked forward, bracing against the fierce cold wind. Her delicate nose had turned bright red, and the pale skin around her eyes was flushed from the cold,
She was watching the snow in Marland. Just as her father had said, It was so beautiful and cold
“Oh my gosh, It’s beautiful here!” one of the seniors exclaimed.
The others Joyfully ran off, exploring the snowy scene.
Tears welled in Celine’s eyes. She walked toward the shore, cupping her hands around her mouth, and called out into the wind, “Dad, I’m here for the Marland trip you missed!”
Waves crashed against the pler, sending loud echoes across the shore. Perhaps this was her father’s way of responding
At that moment, Celine suddenly felt at peace. After her father’s passing, she had always felt unloved, but now, she could finally let go.
Randall stood behind, watching Celine. To him, no snow scene was as beautiful as she was.
One of the seniors reminded him, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go to Celine You’re supposed to watch the snow with the one you love the most in winter.”
Randall thought about going over to her but then paused as if remembering something. “I’ll be right back,” he said, running back to the hotel.
Celine stretched out
ther
hand, letting snowflakes gather in her palm. A genuine sense of happiness warmed her heart in that fleeting moment.
Suddenly, a black umbrella appeared over her head. Someone was shielding her from the snow.
Celine turned around with a smile. “Randall-
Her words caught in her throat when she saw who it was. It wasn’t Randall. It was Adam
He stood before her, wearing a black wool coat and a gray turtleneck sweater. His tall, refined figure stood out against the snowy backdrop, as though he had walked straight out of a painting
Celine froze, staring at him. She didn’t know how he had arrived here. He wasn’t supposed to come on this trip to Marland, but he had suddenly changed his plans and showed up here.
Ar this most romantic moment, he had come to stand by her side.
Adam’s gaze lingered on her pale, frost–kissed face. The redness at the tip of her nose and the shimmer in her eyes made her appear delicate yet vulnerable. He hold an unbrella over her and smiled slightly. “Aren’t your hands cold from playing in the snow?” he asked.
