A Graduation Gift
Chapter 97 An Unpeaceful Winter
All of a sudden, Cassandra became the backbone of the whole family. She stayed calm as much as she could. Edith and Cloris finally managed to calm themselves down. They listened to Cassandra and went to the bathroom to wash up before going to bed.
When Edith and Cloris left the living room, and she was left alone, Cassandra felt that she had been drained with all her strength. She lost her balance and fell down on the floor with a loud thud.
Cassandra was bothered however, why the heating machine inside the mansion wasn't turned on. Strangely, all the servants were gone too, the tables and the pieces of furniture were covered with dust. It seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
Just half a year ago, the Qin family was very wealthy and decent. How come the luxurious mansion turned into such a shabby, deserted house overnight?
Although their business wasn't doing great, at least they were still earning profits. They didn't need to be this wretched.
Cassandra walked out of the house while holding her throbbing head. She found Rufus beside his parked car by the gates. He had been waiting for her, still.
As he saw her coming, Rufus lit a cigar and puffed a heave of smoke from it. He was smoking heavily and there were butts everywhere.
Cassandra thought Rufus had left after what seemed like eternity dealing with her mother and cleaning up the mansion. She didn't expect him to wait for her.
She walked towards him very quietly. He was looking at the sky so she lifted up her head too. The sky was filled with stars tonight and the moon cast a shy glow that illuminated the ether.
"It's late now. Why don't you just come inside and stay for the night? Our guest room is comfortable enough. You can leave the next morning."
Thinking about how Rufus drove several hours to bring her back, Cassandra felt grateful and moved.
"Thank you, but I'm fine. I'll be staying in my car."
To Cassandra's surprise, Rufus rejected her.
"Although the heating machine is out, I can give you an electric blanket. You won't feel cold."
Cassandra thought Rufus was afraid of being cold since the heating machine didn't work.
Cigarette smokes rose up in the air as Rufus put out his cigar. His face went serious after hearing Cassandra's words.
'Afraid of feeling cold?' he thought. Of all the things to consider, he wasn't bothered by the thought of a slight chill. Rufus was not afraid of the cold at all.
He wasn't a spoiled son from a rich family who hadn't been through any difficulties. Rufus used to sleep on bare concrete floors and all he got was a thin mat. The mat, however, didn't help him stay warm during those cold nights.
Even though he was very tired and sleepy, all he could do was take some naps. He couldn't sleep well because he kept on shivering.
