The New Year was celebrated at the Vaughn Family's place.
Several days before the New Year, Natalie Vaughn was called back home. She would be going to Kensingport to study in spring, so it was only natural that Mom and Dad didn't want her to leave home early. Zane Thorne found out while he was still at the company, and afterward, he went straight to the Vaughn Family's place after work.
Jokingly, wherever his wife was, that's where he'd be too.
Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn couldn't help but laugh at Zane Thorne's clingy demeanor. Initially, when they were trying to arrange a meeting for the two, Natalie was quite unwilling. But now? Didn't she just run to the door, forgetting to put on her shoes, as soon as she heard the car?
Zane Thorne was wrapped up in Natalie's embrace, and when he saw she was only wearing a pair of socks, he frowned, wrapped an arm around her waist, and lifted her up.
"Where are your shoes?"
Natalie stuck out her tongue.
"I forgot."
