NOVPUBChapter 915: 442 Merlin_1 Chapter 915: 442 Merlin_1 The phone rings.
The ringtone is Anton Cook’s “White clothes,” its lyrics and rhythm reaching deep into one’s heart.
Hellena Groove immediately picks up, eagerly exclaiming: “Big Sister.”
Sanny Groove’s gentle and patient voice passes through the phone speaker: “I just got off work and came back to the Hotel.
I can’t bring my phone during shooting, so I left it at the Hotel.
I’m sorry, Hellena.”
“Big sister, it has snowed in Pethkids.” Hellena Groove speaks with an extremely excited tone.
She runs barefoot to the window, pulls open the curtain, and leans frontward onto the glass to watch the snowflakes outside.
On the other line, Sanny stutters for a moment, “It snowed.
...
How wonderful.”
Alaric Moore is not from Pethkids.
She has just heard that it never snows in Pethkids, so she has not grasped the obsession Pethkids people have towards snowfall, but, probably for the people of Pethkids, the sentiment must be different.
The response from Alaric Moore is too plain, and it stuns Hellena Groove for a moment, “Big Sister, do you still remember Aubree’s birthday?”
Just as Alaric Moore is about to start getting out of character, she suddenly freezes on hearing Hellena’s question, her heart pounding.
Pouting her lips, Alaric Moore quickly opens the WeChat chat window on her phone and begins to type in Aubree Groove’s chatbox.
As she works, Alaric Moore casually says: “Of course, I remember.
Are you trying to test me?
You’re getting naughtier and more mischievous.”
“Does Big Sister really remember?”
Hellena asks again.
Her palms sweating from nervousness, Alaric Moore takes a deep breath under Hellena’s persistent questioning.
Right then, the chatbox gets updated.
“Today Pethkids had heavy snowfall, which means it’s your second sister’s birthday.
I should thank you for reminding me, else I would not have known there was snowfall in Pethkids, being in this secluded Little Town.”
Hellena Groove lets out a single “Oh,” “So big sister did remember, I thought you forgot.”
She can’t figure out what Hellena meant by ‘forgot,’ and Alaric Moore finds it somewhat strange.
“I can’t come back for now, but when I do, let’s throw a belated birthday party for Aubree Groove.
Is that okay?”
“Okay.
Big sister, are you tired from filming?”
“Doing what you love, no matter how draining, is always a source of happiness…
Wait a minute, the director is calling me for a meeting.
Go to sleep early, we’ll chat when we have time.”
Alaric Moore quickly hangs up the phone, taking a deep breath.
She’s almost scared of Hellena Groove.
This young girl, with her sensitivity and cleverness, sets traps for her at every turn.
She’s worried about making more mistakes and ends the call pronto.
Could Hellena be suspicious already?
Alaric Moore furrows her brows anxiously.
“What are you suspecting?” a voice from behind makes Hellena Groove jump in surprise, she turns and glares fiercely at Titi Groove.
“You scared me to death.”
Hair soaking wet, Titi Groove had just come out from the shower.
Carrying a towel, she benignly wipes and stares at Hellena Groove with misty eyes as she repeats the question.
“What are you suspecting?”
Hellena retorts, annoyed: “Nothing!”
“You’re lying,” Titi Groove resolutely responds.
Hellena Groove frowns, “I’m afraid you won’t believe me if I tell you.
Forget it.
We’ll discuss it later.
Maybe I’ve got it all wrong.”

After their final exams, students from high schools, primary schools, and other educational institutions were welcoming their winter break.
On the twenty-eighth of January, the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, drawing close to the New Year, alleys and communities were adorned with lanterns and streamers, filling the air with the festive spirit to the brim.
Following the heavy snowfall that night, Pethkids seemed to have become incredibly colder overnight.
Although the day was sunny, the air was remarkably chilly.
The sunlight appeared whitish, coupled with a gentle northerly breeze.
Luxury vehicles passed through bustling downtown and desolate suburbs, heading twenty miles west of Pethkids to Phoenix Mountain.
There, the most famous and 5A rated scenic spot and summer hideaway, Dreamy Villa was located.
Abloom throughout the seasons, Dreamy Villa was truly a sight to behold.
Long ago, it was a paradise yearned for by the people of Pethkids.
There, the four seasons felt like spring, with flowers blooming prolifically.
A place that everyone desired but could never reach.
Later, with the offline promotions by netizens, it became a must-visit internet-famous spot, with a saying that goes “Regret for life if you don’t visit once.”
The mistress of Dreamy Villa planned to host a flower-viewing feast today.
The invitations were sent only to the high-society women, the well-bred ladies of Pethkids.
Who dares to refuse an invitation from Miss Rinto?
Moreover, wouldn’t it be worth it just to view the renowned scenery that is known worldwide?
The parking lot is filled with luxury cars.
Lexi Benz gets out of a car and shivers, quickly bending over to get a coat from her car.
“Why is it so cold?” Lexi couldn’t help but sneeze.
“Is she doing this on purpose, choosing such a cold day to hold the event?
It’s freezing,” Lexi grumbled.
From another car, Solene Moore steps out, hearing Lexi she couldn’t help but shake her head in disbelief. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
“You’re not wearing enough.
Be careful not to catch a cold.”
