I nodded. I had already wrapped myself under a thick layer coat and couldn't wait to go downstairs. Anne didn't wait for me to speak when she saw me coming.
Anne didn't wait for me to speak when she saw me coming, and she immediately threw a snowball at me while giggling. So, I didn't bother speaking and picked up a snowball on the ground. Squeezing it in my hand, I started a snowball fight with her.
After all, she was still a child and I was an adult. When Anne lost after a few rounds, she automatically formed an alliance with Nerissa. I could not handle the two of them fighting with me at the same time.
Fortunately, with Hendrix joining me, the battle became much more relaxing for me. Anne began to act shamelessly after being hit by the snowballs several times.
Sitting down on the snow- covered ground, she complained, "Mommy, this is so unfair. You're both adults. I'm a child and Aunt Nerissa is an elderly woman. This won't do."
Nerissa tutted and said stubbornly, "Anne, since when did I become an elderly woman? I'm still very strong, okay?"
Anne shot her a knowing look, indicating her to put on an act. Nerissa understood immediately, looked at us and added, "Anne is right. Both of you are strong, young people. Isn't this a little unfair?"
"Then, why don't we switch partners?" I spoke. I couldn't help but laugh while looking at the two of them.
Hendrix pursed his lips and said, "I'm injured, and my mobility isn't that great. There's no difference between us."
Although his words made sense, he still sounded as if he said so on purpose.
Anne scoffed and said timidly, "Mr. Roberts is obviously being ridiculous."
Anne didn't want to lose the fight, and Hendrix didn't want to switch teammates, so the only thing we could do was to build a snowman.
It was snowing heavily in Jarold City. With snow as deep as ten centimeters, it was indeed a good choice to build a snowman.
I had never seen snow again after returning to Ucrebury many years later. Therefore, I had begun to miss the late winter where I could build a snowman.
The Roberts Group had already gotten on the right track. As Hendrix didn't want me to mention Irvin, I felt that after a long time had passed, I seemed to have never known them at all.
