Riley Hawthorne felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She looked at Zachary Sutton and softly said, "Zach, are you worried about me?" Zachary Sutton was slightly taken aback and then said somewhat awkwardly, "Don’t overthink it. I’m just afraid you’ll catch a cold and then your brother would come after me for it." Riley Hawthorne’s lips curled into a sweet smile. She knew Zachary Sutton was stubborn with his words, but his actions said it all. The snowflakes fell gently, and the atmosphere beneath the streetlamp between the two became somewhat delicate. Riley Hawthorne wrapped herself tightly in Zachary Sutton’s coat, feeling his warmth. Zachary Sutton looked at Riley Hawthorne’s delicate face and couldn’t help but feel a bit shaken. "Let me walk you back!" "Zach, I don’t want to go back yet. Can you walk with me for a bit?" Riley Hawthorne suggested, shaking her head. Zachary Sutton hesitated for a moment and then nodded. They slowly walked along the street, snowflakes landing on their shoulders, creating a romantic world just for them. Riley Hawthorne stole a glance at Zachary Sutton’s profile, her heart filled with anticipation. She hoped this night could go on forever, bringing her and Zachary Sutton closer together. Meanwhile, Zachary Sutton’s heart was filled with contradictions. He wasn’t entirely sure about his feelings for Riley Hawthorne, but he didn’t mind spending time with her and even found the feeling quite wonderful. Vivian Lynch gazed out into the night from the window, seeing snowflakes fluttering in the sky. She felt a tinge of excitement, "It seems to be snowing outside." The nearby servant nodded with a smile, "Yes, ma’am, it’s snowing!" "Hasn’t Caden come back yet?" Vivian Lynch turned her head to look at the servant next to her. The servant slightly bowed their head, respectfully answering, "The young master hasn’t returned yet, ma’am. However, he mentioned he would be back early today to accompany you." Vivian Lynch nodded, feeling a bit of anticipation. She gently caressed her rounded belly, her face glowing with a happy smile. "Can I go outside to wait for him?" Vivian Lynch hadn’t seen snow in a long time. Staying in the villa for her maternity care was stifling, and she really wanted to have a walk outside. Before the servant could speak, Mrs. Hawthorne approached with a cup of hot milk, speaking gently, "Vivian, it’s windy outside. What if you catch a cold? Plus, you’re pregnant now; it’s not convenient. The paths are slippery and you could fall." With that said, Mrs. Hawthorne handed her the hot milk, "Here, have some warm milk to warm yourself up." Vivian Lynch reached out and took it, "Thank you, Mom." Looking at the hot milk in her hand, Vivian Lynch felt a surge of warmth. She knew Mrs. Hawthorne cared for her and the baby, but she really wanted to go out and experience the snowy atmosphere. "Mom, I’ll just be out for a while. It will be okay," Vivian Lynch said, a hint of coquettishness in her voice. Mrs. Hawthorne furrowed her brows slightly and shook her head, "No, Vivian, you’re not alone now; you need to think of the baby. When Caden comes back, let him watch the snow with you from inside." Vivian Lynch sighed helplessly and could only give up the idea of going outside. At that moment, Butler Hughes rushed in, looking delighted, "Ma’am, the master is back." Upon hearing this, Vivian Lynch showed a hint of joy, "Really?" She then turned to Mrs. Hawthorne, "Mom, can I go out now?" Mrs. Hawthorne, with a helpless expression, gently smiled, "Go ahead! Just be careful walking and don’t slip." "Mom, don’t worry about it!" Vivian Lynch responded and walked out of the villa joyfully, with her large pregnant belly, to greet Caden Hawthorne. A black Maybach stopped within the manor grounds. Caden Hawthorne got out, and a security guard immediately held up a black umbrella, shielding him from the snow above. "Caden, you’re back!" Vivian Lynch, surrounded by Butler Hughes and a servant, slowly walked toward him with her large belly. Seeing this, Caden Hawthorne quickly took the umbrella from the security guard and hurried over to Vivian Lynch. Caden Hawthorne walked briskly to Vivian Lynch’s side, holding the umbrella to shield her from the wind and snow while carefully supporting her, his eyes full of concern. "Vivian, with the weather this cold, why did you come out? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me inside like a good girl?" Vivian Lynch smiled and said, "I wanted to see you first. Besides, I haven’t seen snow in so long; I just couldn’t resist coming out to look." Caden Hawthorne shook his head helplessly, yet his tone was particularly gentle. "You, always so willful. What if you catch a cold?" Vivian Lynch leaned against Caden Hawthorne, relishing in his warmth. "With you here, I’m not afraid." Caden Hawthorne quickly handed the umbrella to Butler Hughes, then took off his black overcoat to drape over Vivian Lynch. His tone was full of pampering and care, "Since my dear wife wants to see the snow, I’ll accompany you to watch." Snowflakes drifted down, as Caden Hawthorne held Vivian Lynch tightly. The two of them stood quietly in the snow, as if time had stopped for them. The surrounding servants and security guards naturally withdrew. Suddenly, only Caden Hawthorne and Vivian Lynch were left in the courtyard. Vivian Lynch gazed at the fluttering snowflakes, her face radiant with happiness. "Caden, look how beautiful the snow is." Vivian Lynch said softly, instinctively reaching out to catch some. The falling snowflakes, touching Vivian Lynch’s warm palm, instantly melted into water. Caden Hawthorne gazed at her tenderly, nodding, "It is beautiful, but not a fraction as beautiful as you." She was watching the snow, but he was watching her. Vivian Lynch was tickled by his words, her heart full of sweetness. Looking at his wife’s rosy face and alluring red lips, Caden Hawthorne felt a stir in his heart, unable to resist gently embracing her and leaning in. Vivian Lynch lifted her head to see Caden Hawthorne leaning in to kiss her. She instinctively closed her eyes in shyness. Caden Hawthorne’s lips gently landed on Vivian Lynch’s, soft and full of deep affection. The snowflakes fell around them, adding a hint of romance to their kiss. His kiss was initially as gentle as the snowflakes, softly caressing her lips with endless tenderness. Vivian Lynch shivered slightly, a surge of indescribable sweetness and bashfulness rising within her heart. Caden Hawthorne’s scent enveloped her, the familiar and reassuring fragrance gradually putting her at ease. His kiss deepened, exploring the warmth of her mouth. Vivian Lynch involuntarily responded, her hands clenching his coat. Their breaths intertwined, and even their heartbeats seemed to synchronize. Snowflakes fell on their hair and shoulders, unable to disrupt this beautiful moment. Caden Hawthorne gently stroked Vivian Lynch’s cheek, tenderly caressing it. His kiss was full of love and longing, as if he wanted to merge her into his life. Vivian Lynch was lost in his kiss, feeling Caden Hawthorne’s deep affection for her. They forgot everything around them, immersing themselves in each other’s world. This kiss was like a fire in the winter, warming their hearts and fortifying their love. After a moment, Caden Hawthorne lifted his head slightly, gazing at Vivian Lynch’s shy appearance, his heart filled with tenderness. "Vivian, I love you."
