NovelEnglishEric had arrived the night before and rested the night at a hotel, so he had recovered from the jetlag.
"Go buy a thicker jacket later!" Layla glanced at the jacket he was wearing and noticed that it was a brand from Aryadelle.
The temperature in Cambrode was much lower than that of Aryadelle, and jackets from Aryadelle would not be enough to fend off
the Cambrode's freezing cold. The temperature on the mountain would be lower than where they were, and Eric would fall sick if
he went outside wearing just a thin jacket.
"Yeah," he said.
"There's a store near this hotel. | bought my jacket there." Layla arrived a few days earlier than he did and already knew her way
around.
"Sure. Are you done with work?" he asked.
"All done. | would have stayed a few more days even if you hadn'te. The view here is great." She glanced out the window as
she spoke.

It was white as far as the eyes could see. The glittering snow seemed the contain a magic that washed away all the unwanted
thoughts in her head, turning her mind into a pure white field.
"Don't drink liquor that strong from now on, especially when you are out," Eric deadpanned when he recalled the way she slurred
on the phone.
"lI wasn't that drunk," she argued. "If | really was drunk, how could | have called you? | would have called my brother or my dad by
mistake..."
What Layla said was reasonable.
After finishing his breakfast, Eric wiped his lips clean and said, "I told your mom that | wasing."
She lifted an eyebrow. "Why? | didn't want them to know, and you are that desperate to let them know?"
"We are just hanging out. We shouldn't be afraid to let them know," he said.
"Why would you tell her if we are just hanging out?" Layla shot him a glare. "Did you inform them every single tyou were
meeting me?"
He picked up his glass and took a sip of water.
"Why are you acting like you are doing something wrong? You even told my mom..." she mumbled and picked up her phone to see
if Avery had messaged her.
Apart from the usual messages asking if she was eating and sleeping well, Avery did not mention anything else.
"Mom didn't say anything." Layla was slightly surprised. "Neither did Dad. Did she not tell Dad?"
"Probably not! He hasn't contactedeither." Eric set his glass down.
"Oh..." Layla did not like the guilt and fear she felt despite having done nothing wrong.
"I'm done. Are you?" She set her spoon down.
"Me, too. You mentioned that there are shops for winter clothing here, right? Let's go have a look." Eric put on his face mask and
stood up.

"It's fifteen minutes walk from here, and you are wearing too little. Let's just take a taxi there!" she said before asking her
bodyguard to order a taxi for them.
When the taxi arrived, the two got into the car.
There were not many people or cars on the road because of the cold weather, and since it was snowing, the driver drove slowly on
the slippery road.
Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of the store Layla mentioned.
Layla got out of the car and said, "This is a rather famous local brand, and their clothes are pretty good for winter."
She had bought the down jacket she was wearing from that store, and he stared at it for a while before asking, "Why didn't you buy
a longer jacket? Isn't it warmer that way?"
"I bought these trousers here as well. These are down trousers, and they are really warm as well. | didn't buy the long jacket
because | look chubby in it."
"Keeping warm is more important under this sort of weather."
When they entered the store, Eric picked a long down jacket.
