Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 594

Reuben would still pay visits to Digton City or other parts of Astoria as he had to travel around for business.

“The city streets seem especially busy nowadays. I see lights and decorations everywhere I look. Oh, that’s right! The Spring Festival is coming up soon, right?” The rest of the family members only realized that the Spring Festival was happening soon after Jocelyn brought it up.

“That’s right. Astoria’s Spring Festival is happening soon. That’s why the city seems extra lively these days. When I went out earlier, I overheard some strangers talking about a light festival happening during the celebration this year,” Jason said with a smile.

Lindsay’s eyes lit up immediately. The family had shifted to Yucaria more than ten years ago. Although they tried their best to preserve some of Astoria’s traditions in the start, it was simply too hard for them to celebrate their Astorian festivals because of the limited amount of materials they could purchase in Yucaria. Just the preparation work for such festivals was a huge problem. The traditional festivals they used to celebrate therefore got simpler and simpler each year, and they eventually absorbed Yucaria’s practices of celebrating Christmas, Easter, and so on. For the past few years, the most they did during the Spring Festival was to prepare some handmade dumplings. Hence, it no longer felt like a celebration to them.

“It’s really rare for you guys to come back here, so why don’t we stay for the Spring Festival celebrations?” Jason asked. Linda’s heart sank into her stomach the moment she heard his suggestion. Please don’t let that happen! I had to do so many things just to ensure that the tombstone was all set up. Selena stays in this very city—I’m afraid they might bump into her if they remain here for a little longer.

“Okay! That’s perfect. I’ve never had our local dishes for a long time now. We used to gather and wrap dumplings during the eve of the Spring Festival. Back then, the belief was that the person who ate the dumpling with a coin in it would have a year’s worth of luck. I remember how we used to make tiny marks on the dumplings just to tell us which one of them were the ones with coins.” Lindsay’s worn and wrinkly face seemed to glow with youth whenever she recalled her past experiences.

Jerry had a wide smile on his face too. “Alright. We can stay around for the Spring Festival and go back after that. There won’t be any celebrations in Yucaria anyway. Let’s just treat this as our last Spring Festival over here.”

The whole family seemed to be in high spirits once they had decided to stay for the festival. Linda was the only one who wore a dark expression. However, she couldn’t find an excuse to leave Astoria. “Let’s just celebrate the Spring Festival here, okay, Linda? You can bring me around and show me the places you went to when you were younger. I’d like to see those places and get to know you a little better, okay?” Lindsay’s gaze was filled with tenderness whenever she looked at Linda.

Thus, Linda had no choice but to force a smile onto her face. “Okay, Grandma. That’s great! I can be your tour guide, and I can bring you around to show you the changes in Digton City.”

“Okay! Perfect!” Lindsay was pleased to see the smile on Linda’s face.

After Linda returned to her room, she stomped her feet against the floorboard as she gritted her teeth in anger. There’s still another two weeks before the Spring Festival. According to what they discussed earlier, it sounds like they are planning to stay around for the entire Spring Festival, which lasts for two weeks! That means we’ll have to stay here for an entire month!

…

On the other hand, Wyatt got off the plane after he arrived in Springvale. The place seemed both familiar and foreign to him at the same time. He had never left his country in the past, and this was the first time he was traveling. The thought that Jude had stayed in this place for years made him feel a sense of connection to everything he saw then.

He looked up and followed the directions in the airport to collect his baggage. On his way out, he saw a figure that had only existed in his dreams a while ago. She was standing by the arrival gates and waving toward him with a smile on her face. That was a surprise for Wyatt, for he hadn’t expected Jude to pick him up, and he hastily marched in her direction before spreading his arms wide to pull her in for an embrace. “Did you miss me?”

He was touched to see her there. All this while, he had been thinking that Jude would be too occupied with taking care of Satan, so he didn’t expect her to show up at the airport. “I did. I missed you a lot,” she replied.
