Dinner was pleasant and full ofughter.
Christopher had nned to bring out a bottle of well-aged red wine,
but Sophie kept serving Be juices. Be had drank orange juice, grape juice, pineapple juice, and
other varieties of squashed fruits.
After dinner, Zelda took Sophie elsewhere for other activities to give
Christopher and his beloved a moment alone.
Christopher gave Be a tour of his vi, showing her his art
collection of paintings and artwork.
These babies could fetch an astronomical price at an auction.
S Standing before a desk, Be leaned forward with a magnifying ss. toto appreciate a painting. Her
bright eyes reflected her joy.
“D’Do you like it? If you do, I’ll wrap it up for you to take home CChristopher propped his arm against
the bed, staring at

SIShe admired the painting, while he admired her.
“Wrap it up for me? You know better than anyone that anythin cosists at least seven figures. These are
authentic works. I can’t believe you’re offering the painting to me for free.”

Belials totood up straight and cheekily looked at Christopher through the magnifyiving ss. She
blinked. “Are you an antique collector? Or are you juststabllecting for fun? If you’re a real collector, you
should act like Wyatart leler freaks out when anyone tries to touch his collection. I
can’t imagine him giving his stuff away.”
Christopher smiled and spoke in a soft and alluring tone. “I’m only generous to two people. That’s you
and Chairman Thompson.”
Be’s heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips.
Christopher and Justin were two extremes. The former was a sweet
talker, while thetter would not have anything nice to say even with a
gun to his head.

“Wyatt is a greedy man. If he knows you own such treasures, he’ll
certainly take your generosity for granted.”
“Chairman Thompson is wee to take anything he likes. I don’t have much to offer, but if there’s
anything that catches his eye, I
won’t be stingy with him.” Christopher’s tone could not be more
sincere.
“What about you? Do you have anything you want apart from getting
a slice of your family assets?” Be asked subtly.
With tender eyes, Christopher answered in his mind, ‘I want y
It”it’s snowing, Be,” he said something else out loud instead.
R”Really?”
BeBe bearned with excitement.
ShShe loved the snow. When she was a little girl, her mother would hold heher as they admired the
snow in the backyard. Her mother would take heher hand and guide her to draw on the snowy surface.
“COCommon. Let’s check out the snow.
Christopher led Be to the balcony and opened the door. Be was mesmerized by the nket of
snow.
The fluttering snow fell like feathers.
“It’s so beautiful!” Be looked up at the night sky and expressed her
thrill.
Standing behind her, Christopher took off his jacket and draped it over The her shoulders. He wrapped
her up tightly and murmured sweetly,
snow is beautiful, but I don’t want you to catch a cold.”
The lingering warmth from the man’s jacket cast away the chill that
Be felt.
She turned over to meet his burning gaze.
Be murmured, “You…”
The man’s heart raced, and his breathing turned heavy.
“Your sses are foggy. Can you even see the snow?” Be asked in
a serious tone.
Christopher was taken aback, but he smiled faintly, not hiding the
affection in his eyes.
‘Be, do you know? There’s a saying in Sentania that couples who experience the first snow together
will eventually marry each other.''” Christopher thought to himself.
Not minding her frozen, stiff cheeks, Be reached out to capture the
snowkes. Her face was alight with joy.
Christopher, stirring with feelings, was tempted to grab her hand and
never let her go.
A disruptive phone call shattered this joyful moment. Be nced at her phone screen and frowned.
