But the reluctance persisted within her!
"Alright, let's go," Alexander said as he took her hand and guided her into the car.
Getty fastened her seatbelt and turned to him, asking, "By the way, is your break coming up soon?" "Yes."
"Then let's go to Maple Valley, | want to go there."
As Alexander started the car and slowly drove out, Getty inquired, "I can't, I'm on a business trip."
"Where are you off to?"
"Sylvadora."
"So would you takealong?"
Alexander stayed silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Getty grew a bit upset, she grabbed his arm, playfully pleading, "Please take me."
"How many years has it been since you last visited home?" Alexander suddenly veered off the conversation.
Getty paused, her gaze becoming distant for a moment. After a thoughtful pause, she replied, "It must have
been two years."
She muttered, "I don't want to go back; if | do, my parents will pressureabout finding a partner."
"They know | have a wealthy boyfriend outside, urgingto bring him hevery day. But you don't want to
cwith me. What can | do then?"

outside was an old and ugly man and she must be someone's mistress.
They also speculated that there must be sissue since she had been in a relationship for so many years
without getting married.
Getty kept talking, but unfortunately, Alexander didn't say a word.

dazzling sight of pure whiteness.
Staring it too long could darken one's vision.
Quinn drew the curtains, dragging her feet heavily back to the bed, leaning against the headboard with a heavy
sigh.
She had been watching the snow for quite stjust now, which now left everything in front of her pitch
black. Although the snowy scene was beautiful, it still couldn't surpass the two heavy snowfalls before in her

even making it downstairs.
