Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

— The mother and daughter, who hadn’t slept all night, were walking in the yard.

Despite the cold, they didn’t seem to feel it.

They weren’t talking about hate or resentment, just chatting about family matters.

In that moment, they were simply an ordinary mother and daughter.

After walking for a while, Clarissa said to her daughter, “Kathryn, let’s sit down.

I’m old, and I can’t walk any further.

” She led the way and sat on a long stone bench, and Kathryn followed, sitting beside her.

“It’s almost dawn,” Clarissa observed, looking at the sky.

“In winter, the nights are long, but in summer, 1t would already be bright by now.

” She pulled her coat tighter and asked, “Kathryn, are you cold?” Kathryn replied, “Yes, it’s quite cold out here.

” Clarissa reached out to adjust Kathryn’s collar.

“You’re not dressed warmly enough.

You should wear a thicker coat.

You’re used to being in heated places, so you don’t feel it as much.
