Chapter 409

Queenie’s wardrobe consisted of long pants and long dresses, none of which were suited for the weather. I found her some denim shorts and slippers and packed her favorite long skirt in a waterproof bag. With an umbrella in hand, I escorted her to the gate.

He wasn’t holding an umbrella, and the heavy rain soaked his clothes. Despite his clothes sticking to his body, he didn’t look disheveled at all. On the contrary, his eyes shone brightly.
