Chapter 143
Sean stood close behind Charlotte, his arms wrapped securely around her waist.
“Lottie, I’ve got you,” he murmured.
Charlotte hesitated for a second.
This was the first time she had ever needed someone to help her just to brush her teeth.
She picked up her toothbrush, filled her cup with water, and squeezed out some toothpaste. Whenever she traveled, she always brought her own toiletries and even a set of disposable bedsheets.
As she brushed her teeth, Sean stayed right behind her, his chest pressed gently against her back. Their reflections were perfectly clear in the mirror–two figures pressed close together.
Charlotte’s gaze wandered to Sean’s neck.
Two faint red marks stood out against his skin–kiss marks she had left last night in the heat of the moment.
Memories of last night’s passionate scenes flashed through her mind, and warmth spread across her cheeks.
It didn’t escape Sean’s notice. His lips curved into a slight smile as he met her eyes in the mirror.
“What’s on your mind?”
“Nothing,” she mumbled, her eyes darting away, clearly flustered.
A few minutes later, once she finished brushing her teeth, Sean turned her around to face him. He leaned in, inhaling lightly near her neck.
“Mmm… baby, you smell so good.”
Heat rose in Charlotte’s cheeks.
“You change your terms of endearment so quickly… one moment it’s ‘sweetheart,‘ now it’s ‘baby.“”
Sean’s smile widened, his voice a deep, teasing murmur.
“Don’t like it?”
Her blush deepened, and she stared down without answering.
Sean’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, his voice taking on a low, husky tone.
“Baby, you look so cute when you blush… makes me want to kiss you.”
He tapped his lips with his fingertip.
“Come on, kiss me.”
Obediently, Charlotte leaned up and pressed a soft, quick kiss on his lips.
“Good girl,” Sean said, clearly pleased.
He was more than satisfied. After last night, he wasn’t planning to push her. Two rounds had already left her feeling a little sore today. He didn’t want to overwhelm her, especially with it being her first time.
They had plenty of time.
“Let’s get you walking around a bit. Then we can go out and build a snowman,” Sean said, guiding her gently out of the bathroom.
Charlotte’s cheeks were still warm as she quietly murmured, “Okay…”
Even though they had already been intimate, talking about it now left her feeling shy. Especially when she saw the knowing smile on Sean’s face.
Every time she looked at him, her mind flashed back to the heat of last night, the way his touch made her body melt, the dizzying waves of sensation that swept
over her
She shook off the thoughts, focusing on getting ready
The local pastries were sweet but not overly so, soft and buttery, perfectly paired with the savory chicken soup. It was a warm, comforting breakfast
Once they finished eating, Charlotte got excited about going out to play in the snow and take pictures.

She spent over an hour putting on light but flawless makeup, her soft, slightly curled hair falling over her shoulders. Then she put on a thick, cream–colored down jacket
As she was adjusting the collar, Sean wrapped a deep red scarf around her neck
“It’s cold out. Keep this on.”

Downstairs, the B&B had a cozy courtyard, where the crisp winter air carried the faint, sweet scent of blooming cherry blossoms, their pale pink petals standing out delicately against the snow.
A young couple was building a snowman by the low garden wall. A row of tiny, miniature snowmen in various shapes lined the top of the wall, each one unique and adorable.
Charlotte’s eyes lit up.
“Oh wow, these little snowmen are so cute! Can I take a picture with them?” she asked, her voice full of excitement.
The lady building the snowman smiled.
“Of course!”
“Thank you!” Charlotte’s smile was bright and cheerful, her eyes crinkling with joy.
She turned to Sean, waving.
“Sean, can you take some pictures for me? Make sure to get the little snowmen in the shot too!”
Sean had brought his professional camera. After adjusting the settings, he focused the lens on Charlotte.
The snow had cleared, and soft sunlight bathed the courtyard in a warm glow. Through the lens, Charlotte’s bright smile was like spring sunlight, and the row of tiny snowmen behind her looked like a group of cheerful little snow buddies.
