They were informed by the rescue team that the blizzard would last until the following afternoon. After the blizzard subsided, they would be able to climb down the mountain and save themselves.The camp manager got to his feet and announced, "Everyone is welcome to stay at the camp. We have a lot of rooms available, so you can settle in and get a good night's rest. We can discuss the rest tomorrow."Those who were present were from wealthy families or individuals with status, like Gwyneth and Liam.A majority of them had a hard time adjusting to the mountain environment because they were accustomed to comfortable living conditions. They would have freezed to death at night if they did not find a place to stay. In the end, they reluctantly agreed.Next, they needed to allocate the rooms.The rooms would be insufficient if they were distributed by the group.After a lot of discussion, it was finally decided that the rooms should be allocated by gender. In other words, Liam and Gw
Geneva felt sweat running down her back. She clenched her fists in silence and forced herself to remain calm.She scowled and coughed a little after that. She purposefully used a feminine tone as she wondered, "Gwyneth, did you pretend to want to do that because you don't want to cook, and it would be too embarrassing to say it out loud?"They had only recently made it to the camp and just exchanged names. Therefore, she knew Gwyneth's name.Her question was unpleasant, but her voice was as soft as the breeze, "Are you going to claim that you don't know how to chop wood later?"Numerous women in attendance supported Geneva because they were envious and hostile toward Gwyneth and Liam's relationship.They pointed fingers at Gwyneth and whispered among themselves, but Gwyneth ignored them and left with the men.Liam thoughtfully carried the ax for her on the way. He wanted her to conserve her strength. Gwyneth understood his motives and grinned. She thanked him and let him carry th
The group quickly gathered firewood and went back to camp.The women gathered inside the cabin and had a lively conversation. They occasionally covered their mouths and giggled, displaying a demeanor of coquetry.Everyone remained silent when they saw Gwyneth returning with the men. They all appeared contemptuous of her.Geneva took the initiative and targeted Gwyneth after a momentary silence."You're back? You must have given them a lot of trouble. It has to be hard on you to impress others despite your ignorance.""Yeah, how in the world is she so shameless? We could never do that, could we?""We should learn from her!"When the other women heard these words, they all started to giggle. Everyone was casting hostile looks at Gwyneth.Gwyneth held a small bundle of firewood in her arms. She quickly looked around the room, ignoring their sarcasm and found a suitable spot to set them down.The women had no idea how heavy the firewood was since they were criticizing from the sid
After saying that, Liam walked up to Gwyneth.He immediately understood everything when he saw the firewood lying around on the ground.He took Gwyneth's hand, ignoring other women's infatuated and loving looks.He lowered his gaze, caressed her skin, and occasionally breathed on it. His gaze was overflowing with affection. It was in stark contrast compared to his earlier warning glance toward Geneva.He inquired, "Are your hands sore from carrying the firewood?"Gwyneth was stunned. She gave a head shake to show she was not in pain.Liam could not stand to see his wife carrying such heavy wood. He offered, "I'll clean up here. You should get some rest."Gwyneth shook her head once more. She said, "I have to cook with them. I'll take a nap after lunch."Geneva's face turned white as a sheet in response to the sight.She had thought Liam would chastise his wife. After all, the majority of the women in attendance were either from wealthy families or of high social standing.
Usually, Liam would treat Hayden like a clown and ignore his attempts at sowing discord. He would never take him seriously or believe what he said.However, it was different today. He was seated next to an irritating two-faced woman.She kept bugging him and lacked judgment. She had also made an effort to get his wife to take the fall for her.'If I remained silent, would she lord over my wife? I couldn't tolerate that.'He snarled in response after reflecting on this, "Mr. Hut, you don't know my wife. She is gracious. She also has a thorough understanding of my preferences and my method of handling things. Moreover, she's very understanding."Take this food as an example. I'm familiar with it and fond of its flavor. As long as I enjoy it, Gwynnie won't mind. She would even encourage me to eat more."Gwyneth was the one who had prepared all of these dishes. He knew it from the first bite because he could only eat the food she made and was constantly thinking about it.His respon
As he watched the couple leave, Hayden clenched his fists unconsciously and squinted his eyes.He overlooked how painful it was for his nails to dig into his palms.'Liam, just you wait!'He became increasingly angry the more he thought about it. He was unable to keep his temper in check. He growled, clenched his teeth, and kicked a nearby wooden stump."Liam!" He muttered.His eyes were blazing with anger and envy. There was no room for anything else.He was overwhelmed with fury. He seized a glass on the spur of the moment and threw it to the floor.The room echoed with the noise. The glass smashed into numerous fragments. It was an unsightly scene to watch.Root happened to pass by, and he leaped backward, afraid of being struck by the flying shards.When the shards landed on the ground, it glistened coldly under the light.Hayden also adopted the same cold expression.Root cautiously avoided Hayden. He reasoned that there has to be something wrong with this man. He shook
When Gwyneth saw that person walking away in a hurry, she narrowed her eyes.'This location is so isolated, and there's heavy snow now. Generally speaking, nobody would come here. That man looked panicked. His gaze was erratic when he apologized. He looked like he had done something guilty, and we stumbled across it.' She had a feeling that there was something wrong with that person."Liam, I suspect that person is responsible for keeping us here. You should keep a closer eye on his movements.""Okay."They went back to the lobby right away.Liam instinctively looked for the man who had just appeared when he walked into the lobby. He saw him chatting cheerfully with Hayden.He thought back to Gwyneth's suspicion, and his skepticism about Hayden grew.After a brief pause, he cautiously said, "Gwynnie, I still think it has something to do with Hayden, look..."Gwyneth was startled. She followed the line of his gaze and wanted to say something.However, Root was approaching t
Liam's sincere concern warmed her heart.Gwyneth insisted, "Seriously, I'm fine. I'm worried that you aren't used to eating other people's cooking. I don't want you to go hungry at night."He said reluctantly, after failing to convince her, "You need to take good care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you need to get some rest right away. I won't allow anyone to criticize you."Liam gave Dana a stern look as he spoke. Clearly, he had just issued her a warning.When Dana caught his gaze, she shivered and shut up awkwardly. She refrained from criticizing Gwyneth any further.Dana's manager was upset when she saw the incident.She was the one who made Dana into a promising actress. She considered Dana her "gem". How could she stand by while others bullied Dana?Moreover, she could not bear the sight of Liam treating Gwyneth nicely. The manager considered herself attractive, but Liam never cast her so much as a glance. Jealousy was burning inside of her.She walked up to Da
