When Gwen was down at the lobby, Steven's car was parked just right in front of the hotel entrance. The sky was snowing a little, yet there was already a thick layer of snow on Steven's car.
Gwen bit her lip when she saw the layer of snow. Even if she did not believe what Joshua said, she had to believe it when she saw Steven's car.
Joshua was right. Steven must have come after she called him…or maybe, he could have been waiting for a long time even before she called him.
The snow could not have piled up that thickly in a short time, especially when it was only snowing a little.
The gratitude and guilt she felt for Steven accumulated even more. She took a deep breath and opened the car door to get in. "Have you waited for a long time?"
Steven smiled and looked at her calmly. "I just arrived."
"Just arrived?" Gwen raised an eyebrow. "How could there be snow that's almost three to four centimeters thick on your car if you just arrived?"
The question caught Steven off-guard as he fell silent for a moment before smiling sheepishly. "It was snowing heavily when I got here. It's not as intense now."
As though afraid Gwen would not believe him, he reiterated, "I really just got here."
"I believe you." Gwen curled up her lips in a smile when she saw how panicked he was.
She looked at the front and said, "Let's go."
At first, Steven wanted to explain more, but Gwen's reply stopped him from explaining further. He then quickly swallowed all his words back and started the car engine. "So we're going to the shopping mall?"
