Kelsey’s eyes lit up, and she let out a breath of relief, turning her head to look outside at the heavy snowfall. “I’ve been exhausted these past few days, and if it weren’t for the fact that you’re my rescuer, I wouldn’t be here with you.”
“What?” Nick was taken aback.
“How much do you remember about what happened to us these past few days?” Kelsey gave him another look, her eyes extremely casual.
Nick’s voice caught, “I remember everything.”
It was precisely because he remembered everything that he felt absurd and embarrassed. He had become a member of the Folsom family, Kevin’s younger brother, and that was fine, but he had also gotten involved in a relationship, and now it was unclear.
This was not what he wanted at all.
At the moment Papa Bree was awakened, he wondered if he had just had a dream. It wasn’t until he saw Kelsey smiling and approaching him in front of the execution platform that he realized he had really gotten involved with the wrong person.
He didn’t want to drag this emotional debt, and was prepared to make things clear with Kelsey.
But now it seemed that the truth was not what he had thought.
Thinking this, Nick looked down at Kelsey and listened to what she would say.
Kelsey rubbed her shoulders, looking exhausted, and complained to him, “It’s good that you remember, benefactor. I’ve repaid you half of what I owe you, right?”
“Repaid?” Nick was puzzled.
“Yes, after you turned into Landon, for some reason, you wanted to date me, and you were still the same person. My sisters were worried that if I didn’t agree to go out with you, you would go crazy. I had no choice but to keep you company,”
Kelsey said in an exaggerated tone, as if she had done a great kindness.
Nick looked at her face, which finally looked relieved, and frowned, “Did Sister Paige ask you to stay with me?”
“What else? You don’t really think that I would fall in love with my ancestor, do you?”
Kelsey said with disgust, rubbing her arms as if she had goose bumps.
“…”
Nick was at a loss for words for a moment.
“Why are you silent?”
Kelsey looked at him, suddenly as if she had thought of something, and hurriedly waved her hands, her face avoiding it as much as possible, her voice even louder, “Benefactor, don’t think anything, I’m just helping you safely get through this period of time before you wake up, I don’t really have any improper thoughts about you.”
Nick was a little helpless by her behavior, and said, “I’m not thinking anything.”
There’s no need to look at me like you’ve seen a monster.
As he spoke, his tone lightened.
“I’m glad to hear it.” Kelsey patted her chest, then suddenly looked at him with a playful expression, tilting her head and looking at him with watery eyes. ‘I was afraid that you had fallen deeply in love with me and that after I woke up, I would have to take responsibility.”
There was no trace of doubt in her face, just a joking concern, which completely put Nick at ease.
He laughed, ‘How could that be? You still look so young.”
“Yes, I’m still young, I haven’t even had a proper job, and my life has only just begun. I don’t want to get married and have kids, it would limit my freedom.”
Kelsey took two steps back and turned to face the snow outside. “What do you think I should do for work in the future? I’m not going to be like my sister, so how about I open a milk tea shop and be the boss?”
This idea was completely out of the blue, and she immediately jumped back to work.
She really is only a few years older than Gabriel.
Nick laughed and changed the subject, “So what about your parents?”
Her parents already see him as their son-in-law, calling him a good son-in-law and preparing all kinds of food for him, and Casey and Eduardo also call him brother-in-law.
Kelsey looked at him with a strange expression, “What’s there to do about it? Everyone is just keeping you company in this drama, in case you go crazy.”
So even that was an act?
Nick was truly relieved this time. He let out a slow breath and sincerely said, “I’m really sorry to make you do all this for me.”
Upon hearing this, Kelsey laughed and patted his arm, “It’s nothing. You’re the second in command of Temple in Heaven. My sister has so much to rely on you for, so of course you can’t have anything happen to you. Besides, you’re my benefactor.”
“You don’t have to always think about it, it was just a small favor,” Nick said, gradually relaxing his hand on the railing.
“Okay,”
Kelsey smiled, suddenly thinking of something. She took out an eyeglass case from her pocket and handed it to him, “After you were hypnotized, your glasses were taken off. I asked someone from JT’s faction to get them back and give them to you.”
Nick looked down, his gaze momentarily frozen, and the emotions on his face all converged into a kind of secrecy.
“Thank you.”
He took the glasses case with a grave voice, opened it, and took out the black-framed glasses from inside.
He casually rested the glasses case on the railing, put the glasses on his nose, pushed up with his fingertips, and his eyes became deep and indifferent. In an instant, even his entire feeling changed.
Kelsey stood quietly watching his face, and found that she suddenly couldn’t even remember the way he laughed heartily.
Nick, the benefactor.
Nick from the copy city.
So there were two of them.
A gust of wind blew the glasses case off the railing.
It was a delicate glasses case with gold thread on the surface, which Kelsey had searched for all afternoon in a Western department store. It was said to be a good product from a hundred years ago, and had been used by a modern poet.
She thought it went well with his glasses, and when he was awakened, she would give him the glasses case together with the glasses, and he would like it.
Nick leaned over to take a look, and when he saw the glasses case fall in the snow, his brows furrowed slightly.
“Don’t worry about it, it’s just an ordinary case from JT’s, I grabbed it on the way,” Kelsey said with a smile, ‘once we leave here, you can use your own glasses case again.”
This glasses case, if it’s lost, it’s lost.
Nick glanced at it, then nodded, ‘that’s fine.”
Kelsey looked outside.
This deserted island is remote, far away from Country A, and the climate is very strange. While the two of them were talking, the heavy snow outside suddenly stopped.
It stopped just as quickly, and soon not a single snowflake fell.
The sky above them gradually cleared, without a single cloud in the sky. The bright light fell on the clear lake surface, shone through the eaves, and dazzled the two of them.
Kelsey reached out and looked outside, and sure enough, there was no snow at all.
“It’s a good sign that the snow has stopped,” Nick said, looking up and nodding.
“Yes,”
the heavy snow had stopped, the sky had cleared, and the dream had ended.
Kelsey looked around and then said, ‘Oh, I almost forgot, my mother still wants me to go back and pack.
“Okay, you go ahead,’ Nick nodded, “If you need any help, just let me know.”
“Got it!”
