Chapter 1017 Say Our Goodbyes
Crystal's POV:
"What're you all doing here?" I looked at them in surprise, but I couldn't suppress how happy I felt. We hadn't gathered together like this in a very long time...
It's a pity that we weren't able to say goodbye to you five years ago. So all of us had to come to see you off this time around!" Flora walked over with a bright smile and held my hand.
"Yeah! Five years ago, you just took off without saying goodbye! We even misunderstood you!" Harry yelled huffily.
"Oh, Harry, I remember Joanna telling me that you cried so hard that your snot was all over the place." Flora made a face at Harry, sticking her tongue out at him.
Harry snorted indignantly. "Me? What about you? I still remember that on your wedding day, your veil was blown away by the wind!" "How is that embarrassing? Anyway. it's not as bad as someone who insisted on playing the sax at my wedding!” Flora shot him a murderous glare. "Why? Isn't it great to have live music at weddings?" I asked, curious to hear the whole story.
"Bah! You're lucky you weren't there. Harry had a stomachache that day, so he didn't have the strength to play the sax. As soon as he blew into it, the sound that came out was like farting."
"Oh, shut up, Flora! Enough of your nonsense!”
Harry was so embarrassed that he wanted to cover Flora's mouth, but Warren didn't let him come close.
Flora sought refuge in Warren's arms and stuck her tongue out at Harry complacently.
Harry was so angry that his veins popped out on his forehead. He didn’t calm down until Joanna comforted him in a soothing voice.
I shook my head helplessly. I couldn't believe that these guys were still the same after so many years. Just then, Arron gobbled up the last of his dessert. He wiped his mouth and ran over to hug my leg. "What're you fighting about, Mommy?"
I chuckled and explained, "They're just hungry, Arron. Please get them some snacks.”
Arron nodded obediently and scurried away to do as I said
I sat Beryl on the sofa and dressed her in thick clothes
"Are you really going to do this?" Flora leaned over to have a look.
I nodded helplessly. “Yeah. Beryl really didn't want to go with me. I had no choice..."
"Oh, by the way, we've all agreed to visit you at the border pack someday,” Harry suddenly said.
“Don't worry. We'll go there in disguises,” Flora added for good measure.
Even Warren chimed in. “In fact, the border isn’t that far. As soon as Rufus lets his guard down, we'll be able to visit you." "Yeah. A plane ride will only take an hour at most —maybe even less," Joanna calculated
I couldn’t help but smile and felt warm in my heart. The people before me were such good friends
Thanks to, fheir comfort, saying goodbye-wasn't necessarily a bad= thing. Everyone was looking tothe futuce: and discussing our next gathering.
"By the way, that bag's full of our gifts for the twins. Don't forget." Flora pointed at a sack on the sofa. The sack was filled to the brim and bursting at the seams, just like a stocking on Christmas Eve.
Looking at such a big bag, I felt a little helpless. "I can't carry that. I have two children and our luggage to take care of."
"Don't worry. We've arranged everything. I IIPdisquise myself as a guard to help you take them later. We'll go trough the back door. Ive already: mapped out the route. No one wil see us. A car will take you to the: airport, where you can take the ediliest flight to the neighboring city. Someone will drive you back to the border from there." to NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
After saying this, Warren looked at. his watch-and said, "It's time. Wes can't délay any longer. It won't be easy to sneak out if the guards change shifts."
