Chapter 817 The Three Wonders of Valley City
“If I ask, will it help?” he replied with a question. “I don’t think so. But Ruby likes you. Now that she fainted, shouldn’t you show some concern for her?” “Well, it’s the doctor’s business, not mine.” His tone was so cold and indifferent as if Ruby was an insignificant person.
However, according to her understanding, Ruby should carry some weight in his heart. Just when Zayla was in a thoughtful manner, an umbrella was handed to her. “Don’t be a bee in your bonnet, hold it steadily.”
Zayla held the umbrella and nodded. Later, Lincoln carried her in his arms and walked on the snowy road. Then, Rolls-Royce drove toward the direction of Mount Valley City.
It was silent along the journey, and it was three hours later after they arrived at the destination. Everything they saw was only white snow and red flowers. It was such a breathtaking scenery.
“It’s so beautiful,” she exclaimed sincerely. Lincoln took her hand, and as he walked toward the wooden corridor on one side, he said, “Can it be comparable to your beauty?”
“This is one of the three wonders in Valley City!” Zayla immediately emphasized. Yet, he insisted calmly, “So what? It’s not one millionth of yours.”
Zayla snorted softly and said, “You coaxed me again.” The moment her voice fell, he stopped in his track. Zayla’s forehead bumped against his back, and she stopped as well.
“Lincoln? Um…’
Turning around, he placed his hand on the back of her head as he lowered his head and kissed her. Somewhere not far away, Aziel was taking photos.
As a fan, Aziel specifically took advantage of his spare time to enroll in a photography class. Now he is holding a camera, shooting various shots horizontally and vertically.
The snow and the red flowers seemed to become the best background for the photos at the moment. After a kiss, the snow blew into the corridor, and snowflakes landed on their shoulders.
“I’m not coaxing you. You are a fairy.”
Zayla’s fair cheeks were flushed. As her beautiful eyes blinked, her long and curly eyelashes flickered slightly. But immediately after, a crystal clear tear rolled down Zayla’s cheek without a sign. He frowned, raised his hand to wipe it away, and embraced her in his arms.
“I didn’t tell you about Ruby, because I didn’t want such insignificant people to come into your sight.” Listening to his heartbeat, she whispered, “But you never thought that Ruby would take the initiative to call me.”
“Um.”
He originally thought that Ruby’s matter would be resolved quickly. Unexpectedly, Ruby was so bold that she called Zayla directly. “Then, what actually happened between you and Ruby?”
Lincoln explained, “Ruby did have the saving grace to me, but I have a clear conscience, and I don’t think I owe that brother and sister anything.” Since the matter had come to that point, even if he didn’t want her to get involved, she already set her foot in.
Ruby, an insignificant person, had already blatantly entered her sight. She was his Zayla, and he couldn’t bear was having grit in her eye. Afterwards, Lincoln told Zayla everything in the past. So, that was the truth.
Ten years ago, when Lincoln, a fledgling prince of The Brevan Empire, came to Valley City, he wanted to use his earned money to take over a gold mine. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
After negotiating everything with the original mine owner, John’s father, someone stole a march when he was about to sign a contract with the owner. It was no like stealing a march but much like a hijack action.
The other party was quite powerful in Valley City at that time, and the Meeks family was already in turmoil, besieged on all sides. John’s father was heavily in debt, helpless, and all he left was a gold mine. A gold mine that could generate a lot of income which caused many people to covet that last thing of the Meeks family.
