All Chapters of No Snow Falls in the North: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Edward, can you hear me? The wind in North City is too strong.” Through the screen, Claudia George pulled her down jacket tighter around her. She had a slight frown as she breathed out a puff of white air. I stared at my phone and said softly, “I can hear you.” “That’s great. My signal here is quite bad.” She lifted the phone higher and revealed the scene outside her window. Under the streetlight, the snow was blowing against the window. It left a thick layer of snow on the windowsill. “Such bad weather. The temperature suddenly dropped like that. I feel so stiff from the cold.” She rubbed her hands. Her eyes looked tired and apologetic. “Edward, I’m sorry. You have to deal with the relatives alone the day before our wedding.“But this project is too important for our future. The client had a very serious data error. I really had to personally come here to address it, otherwise, my bonus for this season would have been taken out.”Claudia paused and sounded even gent

The rain was heavier than I had expected. The entire street was misty because of it. There were a lot of people getting cabs, and it was a very long wait. I waited for a few minutes before deciding to rent a bike. My raincoat could not withstand such heavy rain. I had just cycled for a while before the rain trickled into my raincoat. I started shivering. When I reached the intersection, a food delivery driver suddenly sped over in the wrong direction. I immediately pressed on my brakes. The tires slipped on the puddles and immediately flipped over. I was thrown off the bike due to the impact. My knees slammed hard against the road, and my vision became spotty from the pain. The delivery driver was terrified. He immediately stopped his bike and rushed over. “Sir, are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?”I looked at the bloody wounds on my knees and gasped. However, seeing how anxious he was, I decided to let him go. “I’m fine, you should go.” I hel

When the plane flew across South City’s sky, the entire city looked golden under the winter evening sun. I sat next to the window and stared at the buildings as they slowly turned smaller and disappeared. After more than ten hours, the plane landed in a quiet, small town in a foreign land. I walked out of the arrival hall with my suitcase. I could see my supervisor, Howard Gold, from afar. He was wearing a dark gray coat, and he was holding a sign with my name on it. After he saw me, he frowned slightly before taking my suitcase. “Edward, you’ve lost a lot of weight.”“I’m fine, I’m just a little tired.” I smiled. Howard did not question any further. He patted my shoulder. “I’ve already made the arrangements at the lab. Take two days to rest and get yourself familiar with this town before you head into the lab.”I nodded. After I no longer felt the suppressed emotions coming from those lies, I found I could breathe more easily. I checked into my temporary accomm

Her expression immediately froze. After a few seconds, she forced a smile.“Of course, Edward. Didn’t I video call you? The snow was very heavy in North City that day…”“The weather in North City was sunny, and it was 60F,” I calmly replied. “This is a super El Nino year. North City didn’t have any snow at all.” Claudia’s lips quivered as blood slowly drained out of her face. “The snow was in Ocean City, right?”I took out my phone and pulled up the screenshot I had saved for a long time. Then, I passed it to her. Nick was sitting beside the fireplace in the resort in Ocean City, and there was snow outside his window. His caption still stung my eyes. [I mentioned that I wanted to see snow, and she immediately made my wish come true.]The next photo was a heart drawn on the foggy window. In the reflection, a woman dressed in a black down jacket could be clearly seen. Claudia stared at the screen as her eyes widened in shock. “How… how did you know?”Her voice was

Claudia did not listen to me. She rented a basement near my institution, and she showed up on my journey to the lab every single day. She did not get close to me, and she did not speak to me. She would just follow behind me while keeping a safe distance. When it was raining in the morning, she would place an umbrella before my apartment door. She would then stand on the street corner without an umbrella. In the afternoon, when I went to the library, there would always be a hot cup of tea on my desk. It was my favorite tea. When I had late nights at the lab, she would wait for me outside the lab building. She would wait for hours on end. She thought that as long as she held on day after day to repent for her sins, I would feel bad and return to her. However, I only felt disgusted by her so-called love. A month later, my senior in the same project, Vivien Brown, could no longer stand it. “Edward, that woman has been stalking you for a month.”She frowned and sounded co
