I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

When Elsa heard about the hike, she felt resistant. She didn’t like such unproductive activities; hiking was so tiring. But thinking that the whole family was going, she wanted to join too. Before she could speak, Mr. Wilkinson said, “Elsa, I know you don’t like hiking. You won’t go. Instead, you can check out the new shop your mom bought for you.”

The first part of his words made Elsa angry, but the latter part made her beam with joy. “Thank you, Mom and Dad! I’ll go check it out later. You are so good to me.”

A shop in Auroraville would cost millions of dollars. To Elsa, this was much better than a hike. Her parents giving her a shop showed real love! Selene got nothing, and her company wasn’t worth much. This comparison made Elsa very happy.

“You little money-grubber,” Mrs. Wilkinson laughed. “Let’s eat.”

Selene sat down expressionless and quietly ate her meal. A shop didn’t interest her; she never cared about such comparisons.

John Wilkinson didn’t mind either. He poured Selene a glass of milk, and the family enjoyed a harmonious breakfast.

After eating, Selene joined her parents for the hike. John Wilkinson served as the driver for the family.

…

In Ravenwood.

Azure had a day off today and came to accompany Little Lucky in the morning. Stella took the opportunity to suggest, “Azure, why don’t you take Rowan to Park Bridge Mountain and bring Terry back? Terry might come back if he sees Rowan.”

Azure also wanted Terrence to regain his spirits. “I can try, but I can’t guarantee it.”

Stella was pleased with Azure’s quick agreement. “Do your best; just taking Rowan there is enough.”

“Alright, when should we leave?”

“Anytime! How about today?” Stella urged eagerly. “Terry has been on that mountain for over half a year. If he doesn’t come back soon, Rowan will be so pitiful.”

Azure hesitated for a moment. “Okay, I’ll arrange my work and leave with Rowan this afternoon.”

“Great! No problem. You handle your work; I’ll arrange everything for Park Bridge Mountain.” Stella felt hopeful.

Azure called Gordon to arrange her work but didn’t mention going to Park Bridge Mountain, worried he might overthink it.

After arranging everything, Azure set off with Little Lucky in the afternoon for Park Bridge Mountain. Stella arranged for a nanny to accompany them, fearing Azure couldn’t handle Little Lucky alone.

From Auroraville to Park Bridge Mountain took only a few hours by plane and then by car up the mountain.

At that moment, Terrence had no idea his daughter was on her way.

Terrence stood at the rear mountain observation deck, gazing at a vast expanse of white.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

It had snowed all night, covering the entire mountain in white-a magnificent sight.

However, in Terrence’s eyes, such beauty felt desolate.

No matter how beautiful the scenery was, without a loved one by your side, it lost its charm.

Puffy ran over again. “Master, aren’t you cold?”

Puffy wore thick clothes and loved visiting Terrence whenever he had no classes.

“No,” Terrence glanced at Puffy and asked, “Why aren’t you in class?”

“I’m done for today,” Puffy smiled and asked, “Master, why are you standing here again? Enjoying the view?”

“Yes,” Terrence replied perfunctorily.

Puffy stayed silent and accompanied Terrence for a while before leaving out of boredom.

Soon after, darkness began to fall.

Terrence returned to his room and continued copying Buddhist scriptures. After some time, he suddenly sensed someone at the door.

He got up to open it and looked down to see a little girl in a pink-blue down jacket standing there.

At first sight of the girl, Terrence’s nose tingled and his eyes welled up instantly. “Ro-Rowan?”

Little Lucky looked up at Terrence and recognized him from yesterday’s video call as the white-haired grandpa. She sweetly called out, “Grandpa.”

To Little Lucky’s understanding, white hair meant old age-a grandpa.

This single word moved Terrence deeply; he knelt down and hugged Little Lucky tightly as tears streamed down his face.

Azure stepped out from the side but didn’t interrupt; she too had tears in her eyes watching this scene.
