Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 469 The Wishes

After a while, a message popped up. 'You are the prettiest girl in the world."

It was so simple, yet it made Violeta smile. It sounded pleasant to her ears.

After lunch, they started playing poker.

Violeta went to the snowy backyard, drew a heart in the snow, and took a picture. She posted it on Facebook, wishing everyone a wonderful holiday. Fans soon flooded her post with well-wishes.

Violeta chuckled to herself as she scrolled through the comments, finding her fans incredibly adorable.

"What's making you smile like that? Aren't you cold-squatting here?"

Violeta was engrossed in reading the comments from her fans. A clear male voice came from behind, followed by a warm coat draping over her shoulders. The phone screen went dark.

Violeta froze and saw Hayden's reflection on her screen.

She stood up quickly and said, "You're back already? So early."

Hayden smiled softly, his eyes twinkling with a gentle light. He said, "It's not early; I left very early this morning.

"Come on, let's go inside," he said.

They walked side by side towards the house.

"Did you watch the New Year's Eve show?" she asked.

"I did," he replied.
