Chapter 335 - 335: Check-Up (1/2)
Lillie got out of the car first. She heard the other door clicked open then slammed shut right after.
”You forgot to wear your coat.” Hopping out the car, Ethan quickly went to her side and dr.a.p.ed her coat over her shoulders.
”It's chilly, you might get sick. So don't forget it again.” He gently lectured.
”Sorry, and thank you.” Not only did her body warmed up from the coat, her chest brimmed with warmth as well from Ethan's tenderness.
Intertwining their hands together, they strolled into the beautiful, vast park. Birds chirped a lovely song from the trees, children laughing and playing around the playground.
Blankets were spread over the vibrant, green grass as couples and families sat over it. Some bathe under the warm sun, while some sheltered under the tree's shade.
There weren't many people around, fortunately. But those few who were present noticed Lillie and Ethan strolling along the cobblestoned pathway, hand-in-hand.
It wasn't difficult to notice this couple's presence. Seems like the sunlight favored the two as it casted upon their figure like a spotlight, adding radiance to their aura and highlighting their unparalleled beauty.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who these two were. Having been exposed in the media together recently, it was quite impossible to forget their faces.
Today was their lucky day to be basked in the presence of two, venerated people.
As much as they wanted to attempt an approach—nah, you would have to make them drunk until rendered muddled before they have the guts to go near them—or secretly take a picture, they couldn't as their body was oddly not agreeing with them to move.
They were literally frozen from being star-struck.
Ethan gently tugged Lillie towards a bench.
Before going out of the car, he also made sure to bring a water bottle with him for Lillie to drink. ”Here.” He offered it to her after opening the cap.
Not really feeling parched, Lillie accepted it nonetheless. She thanked him before taking a few sips.
”You drink too. I noticed you didn't drank that much water in the restaurant.” Lillie returned water bottle.
”You can drink it all. I'm not thirsty.”
”So was I, but I still drank some. Here.” She insisted, pushing the bottle onto his chest.
Ethan exhaled through his nose in a helpless manner before bringing the bottle onto his lips and took a few gulps. He knew better than to oppose Lillie's stubbornness.
When the water washed over his throat, Ethan then realized how dry it was and how parched he actually was.
His wife really know him better.
Leaning against the bench, silence enveloped them to savor this brief moment of peaceful afternoon observing the lovely swans swimming in pairs on the glistening pond ahead.
Minutes passed and they were ready to go again. Ethan was about to stand up when he felt Lillie wasn't lifting her head off his shoulder for him to do so.
”Lillie?” He stroked her head and cranked his head down to check on her.
”Are you alright?” Worry plastered Ethan's face as he observed Lillie's complexion. ”You're pale.”
”I feel well. It must've been from the chilly air.” Lillie placidly reassured, rubbing circles on the back of his hand with her thumb.
