Chapter 232 - Double the Humiliation as Payback (2/2)

“I can’t fall back asleep. I was rushing earlier, so I just put on whatever clothes I could find before walking out.” Bai Qingqing pressed her cold hands against Parker’s chest and giggled. “Do they feel too cold?”

“No, they don’t,” Parker replied lovingly as he placed her on the nest.

Bai Qingqing picked up the animal skin blanket and wrapped it around herself, then glanced at the stone mill out of habit.

The pile of grass that used to be left there was now gone.

Bai Qingqing was suddenly jolted out of her thoughts. Curtis is awake? But it’s still cold outside.

She walked over to the stone mill and looked inside the hole. It was pitch black inside, and she couldn’t see a thing.

Curtis probably woke up because of Rosa making a scene. He’s still vigilant even when in hibernation.

Bai Qingqing covered the stone mill with a fresh pile of grass and said in anticipation, “The cold season’s going to end soon. I wonder if Curtis managed to hatch all the eggs.”

Parker, on the other hand, was unhappy. Now that Curtis was awake, he wouldn’t be able to hug her to sleep every day.

“The weather’s getting warmer. It’ll be warmer with each passing day,” Parker said.

Bai Qingqing ran her fingernails against the surface of the stone mill, producing creaking sounds that caused one to gnash their teeth. She then shivered and rubbed her arms as she said, “I want to see them.”

Parker tried his best to contain the feelings of jealousy in his heart and comforted her. “He should come out of the hole at any moment now. Let’s not disturb him.”

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing nodded.

Winston glanced at the bedroom door and asked, “The fire’s started. What are we eating today?”

Bai Qingqing pushed aside her negative feelings and poked at her face to produce an exaggerated smile. “Let’s eat hotpot and cook more food. We should all eat together to celebrate.”
