Chapter 129


Allison playfully ruffled Joshua's hair, speaking to him in a teasing way as though he were a kid. "Come on now, whether we're planning our trip or shopping for supplies, it's more fun when we do it together. Plus, it's Saturday-don't you think your assistant deserves a day off?"

Joshua mumbled something, still caught up in their kisses.

Allison sensed things might get a bit too heated, and quickly nudged him away. "Alright, alright, I've almost finished planning. Let's head out and grab our supplies."

Joshua looked up with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Allison was taken aback. Did she just imagine it, or did she really catch a glimpse of disappointment in Joshua's eyes? She just pushed him away a couple of times, but he seemed genuinely upset. Surely, she must have been seeing things. Joshua wasn't the kind to get upset so easily.

Later that afternoon, Allison and Joshua swung by an outdoor gear store to pick up some hiking equipment, then hit the supermarket for some fruits and snacks.

Allison was buzzing with excitement, snagging a bit of every snack and fruit she fancied.

Joshua didn't stop her. At most, the backpack would weigh a bit more, and he might feel a tad tired tomorrow, but seeing Allison happy made it all worthwhile.

Allison snapped a photo and sent it to the group chat with Olivia and Sabrina.
