The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 168: I Want to Eat Ice Cream

[This year’s story is simple; meeting you is a delight.]

Holly Sawyer suddenly updated her long-unused social media page with a post featuring a shadow picture of two people making a heart shape and a photo of a Ferris wheel.

The picture’s composition was beautiful, and the mood seemed quite lovely too.

After posting, Holly immediately turned off her phone, anticipating an explosion of comments and messages.

Leaning against Leo Grant, Holly leisurely watched short videos on her tablet.

"Posted on social media, huh?"

Leo gently rubbed Holly’s head, softly inquiring with a gentle tone.

The young lady also made a social media post.

Holly playfully blinked, "Yes."

Indeed, she made the post; the caption was just something that came to mind, and the pictures were snapped just in time.

"Brother, I want ice cream."

As Holly browsed videos, she stumbled upon one about ice cream, licked her lips, and looked at Leo. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Really craving it.

"In this winter?"

Leo’s large hand covered Holly’s head, and he gently shook his head.

The young lady was already sensitive to cold, so eating ice cream in such cold weather seemed a bit inappropriate.

"Ice cream knows no season."

Holly said seriously, her eyes full of anticipation.

Craving something isn’t tied to seasons; in winter, she actually prefers ice cream more than in summer, and the cold sensation seems quite nice in winter.

"Too cold, I’ll buy it after spring arrives."

Leo pinched Holly’s cheek, speaking softly.

It’s not good to eat cold things in freezing weather.

Girls should have warm foods during winter; cold things aren’t good for the body.

"No, I don’t want that."

Holly turned her face away, looking displeased.

Winter indeed is very cold, but it doesn’t stop her from craving cold things.

Actually, even in winter, she orders iced milk tea, eats ice cream, and enjoys popsicles.

Though it’s really cold, she truly enjoys the process.

"Be good."

Leo coaxed Holly gently, his tone tender and pampering.

The young lady doesn’t listen at all.

"No, I just want to eat."

Holly stubbornly turned away, quickly sitting up to distance herself from Leo.

She simply wanted ice cream, insisted on being unreasonable, she just had to.

"Alright, I’ll buy it for you."

Leo sighed, eventually giving in.

The young lady’s demands are truly irresistible, and in the end, he conceded.

"Let’s go together."

Holly’s eyes lit up instantly; she blinked a few times and extended her hand toward Leo.

Angry one second, all smiles the next.

Girls are indeed strange creatures; young ladies are easy to coax, as long as there’s food, they are defenseless against it.

"Wait at home, it’s cold outside."

Leo walked to the window, opened it, letting the cold air rush in and bite his face.

The temperature dropped a few more degrees today, almost reaching freezing; if it drops further, it might snow.

Snowy days are indeed very cold.

"I want to go out with you, brother."

Holly shook her head, pulling on Leo’s sleeve, stubbornly speaking.

She knew the wind was cold outside, but she just wanted to go out with Leo.

When she’s with Leo, even winter feels warm.

"Wear your hat and tie your scarf properly."

Leo sighed helplessly, pressing down on Holly’s head with a gentle shake.

The young lady’s requests are always hard to refuse.

Seeing Holly’s pitiful eyes, his heart softened instantly.

"Okay."

Holly beamed brightly, quickly changing into thick clothes, putting on a fluffy hat, and tying her scarf neatly.

"Little glutton."

Leo lightly pinched Holly’s cheek, saying with pampering.

The young lady is great in every way, except she’s too fixated on food.

"If I weren’t a foodie, how would you have lured me in?"

Holly blinked lightly, speaking as if it was a matter of course.

Mrs. Hayes’s dishes are too delicious, and Leo often takes her out for good food and brings tasty treats back for her.

Initially just a slight feeling, she gradually fell deeper under Leo’s good deeds.

"Wasn’t it Holly plotting against me long ago?"

Leo raised an eyebrow, looking at Holly with a knowing smile.

If the young lady hadn’t voluntarily come to him, how would he ever have the chance to win her over?

Of course, he wouldn’t have.

Holly shook her head in denial: "No."

"But Holly came to me herself and won’t leave."

Leo adjusted Holly’s scarf, speaking with a chuckle.

"I was protecting you."

Holly stomped her foot, turning her face away.

Indeed, however it started, she was the one who insisted on staying initially.

"Do you think I need your protection?"

Leo raised an eyebrow, smiling warmly at Holly.

Leo was once pretending to be weak, appearing not very capable, but in reality, he was quite powerful.

Holly was deceived by Leo’s appearance, so she thought he wasn’t strong and feared he would get hurt, thus opting to stay by his side in her clumsy way to protect him.

Without her, Leo could still pass unscathed, just not as smoothly.

"Yes."

Holly pouted, speaking righteously.

She doesn’t care; she believes Leo needs her, therefore Leo does need her.

"Alright, I need it."

"I’m so dumb, I certainly need Holly’s protection."

"I don’t understand anything, so I also need Holly’s protection."

Leo chuckled softly, patting Holly’s hat, his voice tender.

"Don’t mess with it, my hair will get messed up."

Holly slapped Leo’s hand away, speaking with discontent.

Leo’s tone was full of teasing, as if she couldn’t hear it, but she did, loud and clear.

Leo smiled silently, looking at Holly with exceedingly gentle eyes.

A slightly temperamental young lady is particularly adorable, so much so that he yearned to tease her.

They went out hand in hand, not driving, as the food street wasn’t far away; there was no need to drive.

It was a moderate distance from the food street, close enough to escape the hustle but still reachable on foot.

"So many delicious things."

Holly blinked, looking at Leo.

The food street was full of temptations, and she felt she was about to lose control.

A bulging wallet becomes skinny in such places.

"Ice cream first or something else, hmm?"

Leo tilted his head to look at Holly, holding her hand tightly.

The young lady’s main purpose for coming out was initially to have some ice cream.
