Snow, perhaps, was the most romantic thing in the world. This long-overdue first snowfall drew everyone in Seavora out of their homes. Even the streets were bustling with more pedestrians than usual. Lena gazed out the car window at the swirling snowflakes, unable to tear her eyes away for even a second. It was breathtaking. Beyond the beauty of the snow itself, the sight of it falling evoked a sense of serenity, as if time had slowed, as if all the world’s troubles were swept away by the cascading snowflakes, leaving only purity and beauty behind. “Uncle, I want to go for a walk,” Lena said, feeling that simply admiring the snow from inside the car wasn’t enough. There was a pang of regret at the thought of wasting such a picturesque moment. “Alright, I’ll park up ahead,” Aaron replied. He had always been indulgent with her. Finding a parking space, Aaron stopped the car. Lena wasted no time, hopping out and running to the middle of the road, spinning in circles with her

Lena’s heart trembled slightly at Aaron’s words, but she pretended not to hear and busied herself with playing in the snow. Though she tried to conceal it, Aaron saw through her attempt. She was avoiding him, but he had no intention of letting her escape this time. Later, Lena received a call from her mother, Briana, just after finishing a surgery. “Mother dearest, what’s your command?” Lena answered cheerfully. “You’ve been staying with your uncle recently, haven’t you?” Briana asked. The question made Lena tense up. A bad feeling crept in. “Yes, why?” “You should know what your uncle has been up to lately, right?” Briana continued. Lena was confused, unable to follow. “Mrs. Lane, can you just say it directly? This suspense is making my blood pressure spike.” She had just stepped out of the operating theater and entered her break room. “Your uncle’s heart isn’t in the right place anymore,” Briana said with a heavy sigh. Lena froze for a moment. The phrasing was sharp

Lena was led by Aaron into the courtyard, where the old persimmon tree stood bare, save for a single stubborn leaf clinging on. Despite enduring heavy rains and countless cold winds, that lone leaf remained, defying nature—truly a resilient "leaf warrior." The chilly wind stirred, making the branches sway, and the air felt even colder. Lena’s heart pounded, and inexplicable sweat formed on her back despite the cold. A sense of nervousness and unease filled her. The hand Aaron had held felt warmer than her other hand. She clasped her hands together to feel that warmth. “Uncle, I’ve told you before, your actions will hurt Grandma and Grandpa.” Aaron didn’t respond. His deep, penetrating gaze fixed on her, burning with intensity. Lena avoided his eyes, instead focusing on the buttons of his coat. “You wanted to know the reason, didn’t you?” His melodious voice broke the silence above her. Her throat tightened, and her heartbeat quickened. “Uncle, no matter the reason, you sh

"How could you give Ron's number to her?" Keira scolded Hayden. "I'm telling you, Lena will actually go through with this idea." He chuckled, massaging Keira's legs as he replied, "Between Lena and Aaron, one’s an ostrich and the other’s a slow mule. Even though Aaron has made his move, he’s still treading cautiously, afraid of scaring her off, so he’s not making any bold moves yet." "If it hadn’t been for Nate, Aaron probably would’ve spent his entire life as a silent admirer. Now that he’s finally confessed, he needs another push to speed things up." Hayden's analysis was so well-constructed that Keira couldn’t argue. But she cared more about what Lena wanted. "What about Lena? Her rejection makes sense. To everyone else, Aaron is her uncle. If they got together, people would gossip and call them cursed by the heavens." Even though Keira often joked about her and Aaron, she understood the societal barriers and emotional burdens they would face. "Aaron has already started pa

Lena's scalp tingled, and she didn't dare look her mother in the eye. "Don't act like a quail. Lift your head and look at me when you speak," Briana, her mother, was very perceptive. She could read Lena's small gestures clearly. Lena still didn't lift her head. She just replied, "I don't know. Don't ask me." Briana walked over and grabbed her hand as she tried to pack up her things. "Stop fooling me." "Mom, this is a personal matter. It's between me and my uncle. If you ask me about his business, how would I know? What do you think I am to him? Does he tell me everything?" Lena said in frustration. Briana was taken aback by her harsh response. After a few moments of silence, she said, "I suppose that's true." Lena secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that with Briana's persistent nature, she'd probably go find Aaron. If he revealed anything, she'd be in trouble again. She quickly tried to calm her mother down. "Mom, no matter how much you care about your brother,
