Chapter 1590
As she put her phone away, Bruno's gaze still haunted her.
She couldn't believe such a handsome young man would have such a deadly stare. Qiana suddenly regretted ruining his impression of her because of Mashauva; it'd be hard for her to save the damage done.
She might have to create a chance.
They parked the car at a gas station at two in the morning. Bruno turned his head back only to see Mashauva sleeping awkwardly, and his gaze turned somewhat helpless.
This girl.
Freddy also saw it and asked, "Why don't we find a hotel and let her sleep more comfortably?"
It was a restless sleep for Qiana as she wasn't used to sleeping in a moving car. At first, she was able to fight her sleepiness, but later she still fell asleep.
However, just when she fell asleep, Mashauva moved and laid her body on the seats, accidentally bumping into her.
Qiana was so furious that she almost lost her
temper on the spot.
If Bruno wasn't present, she would've definitely yanked Mashauva up by her hair.
But to protect her image in front of Bruno, she could only swallow her anger. She even pretended to be kind and took off her jacket to cover Mashauva.
Then she raised her eyes to look at the two men in front. She smiled and said, "It might be a little cold to sleep lying down, right?"
Freddy stared at her as if she was a monster. "Who are you, and what have you done to my cousin?"
Qiana replied, "What's wrong with me?"
"I can't believe you're actually caring about others."
"I do it all the time." Qiana wanted to choke him to death. He sure liked to talk. He couldn't keep his mouth shut even when she was doing a good deed.
As expected, Freddy didn't let her off easy. He continued, "Then why have I never seen it?"
"That's because you rarely hang out with me. Just like this trip, you refused to bring me along at first, didn't you?"
Freddy twitched his lips, finding her behavior strange still, but he did not say another word.
After they filled up the gas, Freddy and Bruno changed seats.
Bruno paused as he was opening the front passenger door. He looked like he was suddenly reminded of something. Then, he opened the back seat door and said to Qiana, "She's disturbing you from sleeping. You should go sit in the front."
Qiana took it as an opportunity to create a good impression and immediately answered, "No, it's fine. I can sit here. She's not disturbing me. I'm not sleepy anyway."
The truth was, she was cold and sleepy. Her clothes were not enough to keep her warm. After passing her faux fur coat to Mashauva, she was only left with one layer of clothing. Although the heater in the car was turned on, it was still cold.
"You're not sleepy?"
"Yeah."
"Perfect then. You can go sit at the front. I've been driving for too long, and I'm a little tired. I'll rest with her."
Qiana did not expect Bruno to be so persistent. Despite her glum face, she still got out of the car without another word.
"Hold up."
Qiana turned around and saw Bruno carrying her fur coat and returned it to her. "Put it back on."
Qiana pouted and took the faux fur coat back.
After they switched seats, Bruno immediately took off his down jacket and placed it over Mashauva, then fixed her tousled hair.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Qiana couldn't help twitching her lips as she watched from the front.
They finally arrived at Winterland in the morning. After they exited the highway, Freddy found a small storefront that sold grilled cheese sandwiches and hot beverages.
"The food here looks good. What would you guys like? I'll go get it." He said as he unbuckled his seatbelt.
Mashauva was already awake; she rubbed her bleary eyes as she sat up. Surprised by the brightness, she asked, "Is it morning already?"
As a piece of clothing fell from her body, she caught it in time only to find that it was Bruno's down jacket.
"Bruno?"
"You're up?"
Bruno's voice sounded a little hoarse. "There's an eatery right outside. How about some hot chocolate?"
Mashauva's eyes immediately lit up when she heard hot chocolate.
"Sounds good."
Mashauva was never picky about food despite the masses' idea of grilled cheese sandwiches being poor man's food, and Qiana was amongst them.
Qiana was initially gobsmacked
when Freddy suggested getting
them grilled cheese sandwiches and
hot beverages. She wanted to ask if
he was crazy. Why would he eat poor man's food?
But before she spoke, Mashauva agreed!
Qiana despised Mashauva even further.
Was this woman crazy? Not only did she think fireworks were beautiful, but she'd also happily eat grilled cheese sandwiches and drink hot chocolate. So be it if she was the only one, but she couldn't believe her cousin and Bruno also agreed to the idea.
They were all crazy.
"Bruno, are we eating in the storefront?"
"Whatever floats your boat."
"Okay, let's go then."
However, Freddy disagreed. "We're already in the mountains. It's rather cold outside. Are you sure you want to get out of the car? Why don't I get it for you? Let's eat here."
Mashauva shook her head and said, "It's fine, Freddy. Don't you think it's the best feeling in the world to drink hot chocolate and eat a grilled cheese sandwich in the cold?"
Freddy was dumbfounded.
This girl sure had a different mindset than most people.
What else could he say? He was more than happy to spoil her to no end. Hence, he immediately replied, "Yeah, you're right. Let's get out of the car." Everyone then got out of the car.
Apart from Qiana.
"Are you not coming?"
Qiana did not want to go. She thought there was no way she'd be able to swallow the food. However, it would seem like she was not a team player if she refused to join them.
"I'll join later. You guys go ahead."
Then Qiana took out a mirror and fixed her makeup.
After making sure that she looked fresh and gorgeous, she slowly opened the door.
A cold wind blew toward her the moment she stepped out, and Qiana almost froze into an ice sculpture.
After all, all she had on was a super short dress. Despite having a faux fur coat, her legs were only covered by a thin stocking.
It was fine to dress so in the southern region, but it was barely enough to brave the northern weather.
The cold was deadly.
Qiana shivered in the cold wind. As it got unbearable, she got back in the car.
It was f*cking cold.
Freddy watched her reaction and could not help but laugh out loud.
"How fucking funny. I have to hand it to you for daring to brave the north with thin stockings."
Mashauva turned around and said to Freddy, "Freddy, how can you laugh? She's your cousin."
Hearing that, Freddy's expression changed immediately, trying to salvage his image.
"Sorry, I just couldn't stop myself. I didn't mean to laugh at her."
"What should we do then? Freddy, why don't you take the drink and sandwich back for her to eat in the car?"
