Chapter 662: Side Story Thirty-Nine: Ink-Dot Plum Fragrance (Thirty-Seven)
As sumr passed, the weather cooled down. Alia Smith felt that it wasn’t long before winter arrived.
Sofia Smith’s health had fully recovered, and she went to her parents’ ho for a while. She ntioned the divorce to the Turner family, but they kept refusing.
The Turner family of three would visit the Smiths almost once every two or three days, apologizing and saying nice things with a humble attitude.
Sofia locked her room door and refused to see them.
A few months passed without resolving the issue, and the Turner family eventually brought a sum of money to Max Smith.
As Max was about to accept the money, Sofia chased the Turners out with a broom in her hand.
Eleanor Smith visited ho and learned about her elder sister’s situation, so she told Alia about it.
Alia discussed it with her elder sister and asked her to co to the Imperial Capital.
So, Sofia ended up in the Imperial Capital.
Alia helped her rent an apartnt and made sure she was settled in.
“Actually, there are many empty apartnts available. There’s no need to rent one,” said William Lane, who was working late and wanted to eat noodles cooked by Alia when he returned ho.
So he accompanied Alia in the kitchen while she cooked the noodles.
“Renting is more comfortable and carefree,” Alia responded.
“You’re just being polite to .” William said slowly, standing nearby.
“No one’s being polite to you.” Alia didn’t look up from the noodles in the pot. “It’s my sister’s decision to live in the apartnt. Even if it was my property, she might not want to live there.”
Alia paused before saying, “Besides, I’ll buy my own house in the future. I’ll make big money and buy a big house.”
William smiled, “That’s good. I’ll stay ho and take care of the kids while my wife supports .”
Alia suddenly smiled, “Not a bad proposal. You can be my little wife at ho.”
William laughed and patted her head.
“My sister will also buy a big house,” Alia said, “and find soone who truly loves her, so they can have a happy and warm ho.”
“She will,” William agreed.
“It’s nice to think about our good lives in the future,” Alia said with her eyes curved in a happy smile.
William leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. “What kind of job is your sister going to do when she arrives?”
“Probably sothing in the new dia field,” Alia responded. “She learns quickly and has seen the potential in it. It’ll be a great opportunity for her. Plus, Evan can help her during his spare ti.”
“Does she need any help?” William asked.
Alia looked at him with a pleasing smile, “Of course she’ll need help. Why wouldn’t we use such good connections?”
William also smiled, hugged her waist, and kissed her lips. “Just let know whenever you need help.”
“Sure. I’ll share the profits with you when the ti cos,” Alia said.
William nodded, “It seems that my days as a little wife are not far away.”
Alia’s smile deepened in her eyes as she tiptoed and kissed William on the cheek.
…
Sofia had rented an apartnt with two bedrooms and one living room.
When Daniel was on his winter break, he ca to live with her and help out.
Alia was quite busy, making ti to visit, delivering daily necessities, fruits, and vegetables. Then she’d have to leave without being able to help much.
As Chinese New Year approached, Daniel needed to head ho.
On the day before, he packed his things to bring ho. However, that evening, Adam Turner and his mother ca looking for trouble.
Nobody told him when Sofia had a miscarriage after being pushed down the stairs.
He only found out afterward.
This ti, he encountered the troublemakers face to face.
Daniel didn’t do anything to them in front of Sofia; he simply drove them away.
But the next day, Daniel fought with Adam Turner.
That evening… it was William who bailed him out of the police station.
After getting Daniel out, William took him to dinner.
As they sat in the restaurant, the first thing Daniel said was, “Don’t tell my sister about this.”
William looked at the wound near Daniel’s eye and said, “I thought you could fight well. You hit Adam Turner, but you still let him fight back.”
“It was my mom who hit .” Evan Smith touched the corner of his eye, “She slapped , and if I hadn’t dodged quickly, my face would be ruined.”
“So concerned about your appearance.”
“Don’t you care?” Evan Smith said, “Otherwise, how could you win my sister over?”
William Lane: “……”
Evan Smith glanced at him again and said, “Don’t tell my sister.”
William Lane said, “Then make sure she doesn’t find out. Otherwise, she might bla for hiding it.”
After hearing him, Evan Smith beca silent for a while, then whispered, “Why are you so afraid of her?”
“Aren’t you afraid?” William Lane asked.
Evan Smith: “……I am, when she’s angry.”
William Lane raised the corner of his mouth, “Aren’t you afraid of your wife?”
“I don’t have a wife.”
“What’s there to be proud of having no wife?”
Evan Smith’s forehead suddenly twitched twice.
William Lane smiled, “I can keep your secret. What should I call you next ti we et?”
Evan Smith looked at him.
William Lane stared back at him.
A few seconds later, Evan Smith admitted defeat, lowering his head and mumbling, “Brother-in-law.”
William Lane was happy, feeling refreshed.
Finally, soone younger than Alia Smith called him brother-in-law.
…
This Chinese New Year, Alia Smith had the most lively celebration in her life.
On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, she and William Lane went out to pay New Year visits.
On the second day, Charlotte Lane brought her children, making their ho even more lively.
During these days of the Chinese New Year, William Lane also noticed that she was exceptionally happy, with a touch of childlike innocence in her joy.
At the end of February, a heavy snowfall occurred.
The entire Imperial Capital was covered in white.
Alia Smith got up early intending to accompany Old Master Lane for a walk, but after washing and rinsing, she looked outside from the second floor and noticed that it was snowing.
Before William Lane ca out, she had already run to the ground floor.
When William Lane went out, she had already rolled a snowball in the backyard.
William Lane quickly approached, pulled her up, dried her hands, put on gloves, a hat, and wrapped a scarf around her: “Aren’t you cold?”
“Not cold.” Alia Smith’s half face was hidden under the scarf, leaving only her beautiful deer-like eyes exposed, sparkling.
“Your face is already red, and you still say you’re not cold.”
“I have a good constitution; I’m not cold.” Alia Smith finished speaking and pulled William Lane further into the backyard, standing under a tree, “Brother, look, it’s blooming.”
White snow pressed on the branches, and a red plum blossom blood on the branch.
In the entire snowy world, it blood proudly.
“It turns out to be a plum blossom.” Alia Smith said, “So beautiful.”
William Lane looked at her and smiled, “You didn’t know, did you?”
They had transplanted this tree in the spring. When Alia Smith ca to the old mansion, it was the end of sumr, and all she saw was a tree with leaves. She didn’t pay too much attention to it at the ti.
“When I saw it, it wasn’t flowering, so I couldn’t recognize it,” Alia Smith honestly said. “I’ve only seen its flowers, not its leaves.”
“So you can recognize it when it blooms, but not when it doesn’t.” William Lane said.
Alia Smith giggled, then suddenly took off her gloves and slipped her hand into William Lane’s clothes: “That’s right.”
William Lane shivered from her cold hand, but still held it firmly to warm it as Alia tried to pull it out: “Still say you’re not cold?”
“Chilling.” Alia Smith tried to pull her hand out.
William Lane held her hand firmly: “I have a good constitution; I’m not cold.”
Alia Smith: “……”
