Chapter 394 Curl her toes

“It’s so bright out there. If anyone looks this way, they’ll see exactly how I’m pressing you against the floor-to-ceiling window...”

Laura felt even more ashamed; she couldn’t help but curl her toes.

Below her was an open-air balcony crowded with people. If anyone looked up, they might just see clearly that she was being ravished by Gary.

“Enough, don’t say another word...”

“Hurry up and get me out of here...”

She couldn’t help but struggle, terrified of being discovered.

But the man was too strong; she couldn’t budge him.

Gary pressed his thin lips against her ear, his breath hot.

“Why leave?”

“Don’t you think this is pretty thrilling?”

Gary asked pointedly, “Do you want it to be even more thrilling?”

“No...”

But she had no choice but to comply.

Laura’s body arched even higher, feeling helpless and tormented...

Even more dazzling fireworks exploded before their eyes, flooding the scene with sudden brightness, as if it were broad daylight.

She was nervous and tormented, yet she had no choice but to sink deeper into desire with him...

***********

The dazzling fireworks were gone in an instant.

But the surprise and awe they left Alana with lingered long after.

She couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s truly beautiful.”

Stephan’s gaze remained fixed on her face, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

“Not as beautiful as you.”

The look of surprise on her face and her radiant smile were far more beautiful than the fleeting fireworks.

Everything around her was merely a backdrop to her beauty, adding a touch of splendor to an already perfect scene.

The man couldn’t tear his eyes away, gazing at her with deep affection.

Alana met the man’s tender gaze and, unable to resist, threw herself into his strong embrace.

She lifted her petite face, her clear, luminous eyes fixed on Stephan. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she said with deep emotion, “Stephan, thank you. Thank you so much for everything you’ve prepared for me.”

“I’m truly happy.”

It was the happiest, most unforgettable moment of her life.

Stephan curved his lips, his fingertip gently tracing the corner of her slightly moist eye, his tone gentle. “Silly girl, if you’re truly happy, don’t cry.”

Alana sniffed, her nose slightly red. “I’m just crying tears of joy.”

Stephan reached out and gently wiped away her tears. “Stop crying. If you keep crying, your makeup will run, and you’ll end up looking like a lost kitten.”

Alana pouted. “It’s all your fault. You’ve created so many surprises and so much romance, and you’ve made me cry so much.”

Stephan curved his lips. “Yeah, it’s my fault. So punish me, you can do whatever you want. Especially in bed... punish me mercilessly...”

Alana blushed instantly and scolded him playfully, “You’re so mean!”

The man’s tone was mischievous. “Are you sure you mean ‘annoying’ and not ‘liking’?”

How naughty!

But she loved it... she loved it when he was naughty with her.

Alana’s face flushed crimson, and she buried her burning cheeks directly into the man’s chest.

Snowflakes continued to swirl through the air.

The young couple held each other tightly, neither willing to let go.

Not far away, Vance and a few of his men were constantly churning out snow from the snow machines.

The snowflakes drifting through the sky were precisely what they were producing with several snow machines.

As they toiled away at making snow, they were also forced to watch their CEO propose to Miss Martin, flaunting their affection and showering everyone with “dog food.”

Their emotions were on a rollercoaster, soaring one moment and plummeting the next.

After all, the CEO’s happiness was built upon the suffering of them, his hardworking underlings.

One of the subordinates couldn’t help but ask Vance, “Assistant Vance, how long do you think this snow will take to produce?”

Vance frowned. “I don’t know. The CEO hasn’t told us to stop, so we’ll just keep going.”

Subordinate: “But my hands are so sore. What should I do?”

This snow machine required manual labor, constantly turning the wheel by hand to keep the snow falling. It worked much like a generator: the faster you turned it, the more snow it produced.

“I’m worse off than you. My hands aren’t the only thing aching and my heart aches even more!”

It was a double whammy... both physical and emotional.

“Assistant Vance, why didn’t we buy a fully automatic snow machine then?”

At least we wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble making snow by hand.

“Why else? To save money, of course. The fully automatic one costs hundreds of thousands more than the manual one. Those evil capitalists!”

His subordinates blinked.

He was right... why wouldn’t capitalists use free labor when they can?

There was really nothing more to say; they resigned themselves to continuing the snowmaking.

Meanwhile, Stephan and Alana hugged for a while, then climbed back into the pumpkin carriage together to enjoy a happy dinner.

They fed each other, taking turns, utterly sweet.

Vance and his men watched the scene, all wearing pained expressions.

Is this something a single person can even watch?

After their cloyingly affectionate dinner, nearly almost an hour had passed.

Next, the young couple, on a whim, started dancing in the snow.

They didn’t care one bit about the people who had worked so hard to make the snow.

Plus, with the rooftop set up so beautifully, Alana couldn’t resist taking plenty of photos as a keepsake.

After taking the photos, Alana belatedly asked, “It’s been snowing for quite a while. Is this artificial snow?”

It felt like it had been snowing for nearly two hours.

The floor of the top floor was covered with a layer of white snow.

It was real snow.

Stephan nodded. “Yeah, artificial snow.”

Alana was curious. “How do you make it snow continuously? That’s so amazing!”

“All you need is a few snow machines. It’s very simple.”

Alana marveled, “You actually went out of your way to buy several snow machines just to make snow? You’re really rich.”

Sometimes she really wanted to go head-to-head with these rich people.

Stephan asked, “Don’t you like it?”

“I do! I absolutely love snow.”

“I’m glad you do. That means it was worth the purchase.”

“It’s rare for it to snow this long. Let’s build a snowman! Let’s see who can make the biggest and best one!”

Stephan chuckled, “Building a snowman? That’s so childish.”

It’s just the kind of thing a three-year-old would enjoy.

Alana grabbed Stephan’s large hand, gently shaking it as she cooed sweetly, “I’ve never built one before. Come on, be childish with me for a bit?”

Stephan raised an eyebrow. “Call me ‘husband,’ and I’ll agree.”

Alana blushed, but after just a second’s hesitation, she called out.

“Husband, my sweet husband, will you build a snowman with me?”

Stephan curved his lips, leaned down, and kissed her cheek. “Okay, honey, I’ll do it.”

Alana’s eyes crinkled with a smile.

Just like a little girl who’d just gotten her hands on a piece of candy she loved.

Stephan touched her rosy cheeks with his fingertips, then gently brushed away several snowflakes clinging to her hair.

“Are you cold?”

Alana shook her head. “Not at all. I actually feel really excited.”

Even though she said she wasn’t cold, Stephan took off his coat and draped it over her.

The two played in the snow on the rooftop for a while longer, building a snowman and having a snowball fight.

The two lovers, deeply in love, played happily like children, their laughter and joy filling the air.

Meanwhile, Vance was still busy making snow, his hands working the machine so vigorously they were practically sparking.

On one hand, they were as happy as a child; on the other, he was as exhausted as a fool.

The joys and sorrows of one person are truly incomprehensible to another.

After playing to her heart’s content, Alana reluctantly left the rooftop with Stephan.

Having been out in the snow for too long, her little face had turned slightly red from the cold, and she sneezed several times in a row.

Stephan hugged her, both amused and concerned. “I told you not to play too long. What if you catch a cold?”

Alana’s eyes sparkled, as if they were glowing.
