Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1356

At the same time, in Crowlet, Hushton, Shirley walked alone down the street. She was dressed in a down jacket, wrapped in a red scarf, and wearing a festive red knitted hat.

The temperature in Hushton was quite low. On New Year's Eve, the sky was filled with snow, which, accompanied by the brilliant fireworks, created an extraordinarily romantic and beautiful atmosphere.

Despite the howling wind, it didn't feel too cold, probably because the lively New Year's Eve warmed people's hearts.

"Mommy, the fireworks are so beautiful."

"Let's set off fireworks."

"There's a New Year party tonight. Let's go watch it."

"The square is so lively. Let's hurry up and find a spot, or we'll miss the party."

...

The streets were bustling with people, all in small groups, their faces filled with joy and excitement. In contrast, Shirley, who was strolling alone, seemed a bit lonely.

She watched as children, holding their parents' hands, waved their sparklers. The light they emitted was as brilliant as the stars, incredibly beautiful.

She stood still and stared at a little girl's sparkler.

"Hey, miss, you like sparklers too, right?" At this moment, the little girl let go of her mother's hand, hopped over to Shirley, and offered her a sparkler. "My mommy bought me lots of sparklers, so I'll give you one."

The little girl's gesture surprised Shirley. She smiled behind her mask, bent down to accept the sparkler, and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The little girl smiled innocently while holding up her own sparkler. "Here, let me light it for you."

"Wade... Why are you here?"

After seeing Skyler that day, she had left.

Shirley didn't go back to Riversouth to find Wade. She didn't want to be a burden to him, nor did she want to give him any false hope. But she didn't expect Wade to find her on New Year's Eve.

"You're alone in a foreign land. If I don't come to find you, who would do that?" Wade furrowed his eyebrows as he gazed at her with a mix of concern, helplessness, and annoyance.

"Do you know how worried I've been? Why didn't you answer my calls? You're not alone now. You're the mother of three children. If anything happens to you, what should they do?" He took a few steps forward and questioned her in a deep voice.

Perhaps he was so concerned about her that his voice rose and his face flushed with anger.
