Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife-Chapter 155 - 154: Let Her Be Mine

Bella felt a bit awkward and said, "I... I just heard you talking to someone earlier, and you sounded a bit upset."

Is she being too nosy? Someone like Senior Quinn probably doesn’t need her comfort, right?

Only then did Archer Quinn realize that the words Bella said earlier were intentionally meant to cheer him up.

"Silly girl, thank you." Archer Quinn gave her head another rub, a hint of a smile on his lips, "I was indeed a bit upset due to some work issues, but I’m feeling much better now."

"Really?" Bella dodged his hand, "Stop rubbing, or your finger will get poked again."

"I’m being careful this time; it won’t get poked twice." Archer Quinn said, "It’s cold outside, let’s head in first."

"The game hasn’t ended; wouldn’t it be not so good to go in first?" Bella was indeed feeling a bit chilly.

"Guests holding the Joker card can head back as long as they catch a civilian." Archer Quinn smiled, "Besides, if we keep staying here, it kind of feels..."

Bella’s face instantly turned red. She couldn’t help it, because the two people in the bushes nearby started making some noises again.

She really didn’t understand why they were acting so shamelessly outdoors in the heavy snow; weren’t they cold?

"Let’s go." Archer Quinn gently decided not to continue the topic, starting to walk towards the pavilion.

Bella followed him with a flushed face.

They hadn’t walked far before running into Ms. Cheney and Ms. Flynn.

"Ah? Bella..." Elaine Vaughn was a bit surprised to see Bella had been found, and she stepped forward saying, "Well, we came together, she’s not familiar with the game rules. Could you please hand her over to us?"

Sharon Cheney also looked on.

"Pfft." Bella suddenly laughed, "Ms. Flynn, Ms. Cheney, no need to worry, this is Senior Quinn."

"Senior Quinn?" Sharon Cheney was the first to react, "Archer?"

"Ms. Cheney, Ms. Flynn." Archer Quinn greeted the two with a smile.

"Phew! So it was you who found Bella, gave me a scare." Elaine Vaughn patted her chest, "Let’s go, since we’ve found her, we should head back; it’s freezing out here."

"Ms. Flynn, isn’t it against the rules to go back empty-handed without catching a civilian?" Bella asked.

"It’s fine, guests with the Joker card have the right to abandon the search." Elaine Vaughn waved her hand and said, "Besides, if you all aren’t interested in playing, it’s boring for me alone. Let’s head back." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The four of them went back into the warm hall to wait.

The game duration was forty minutes, with civilians hiding for ten minutes, and Joker card guests searching for civilians for thirty minutes. When the time’s up, the game ends, and it’s time for the Joker card holders to exercise their privileges.

Bella and the others waited in the hall, as guests holding the Joker card gradually returned after catching civilians. Some even gave up early and came back because it was simply too cold outside.

"Hey, Joelle, I couldn’t find you after walking around outside. So you came back earlier, huh?" A tall man squeezed through the crowd, came over, and patted Archer Quinn on the shoulder.

Joelle? Bella curiously looked at Archer Quinn, thinking, so Senior Quinn has such a cute nickname?

Archer Quinn felt a bit helpless towards his childhood friend, and before he could speak, his friend had already noticed Bella beside him.

"Oh! You’re here too." The man playfully bumped Archer Quinn’s shoulder, "Joelle, is this the civilian you found? Hand her over to me, I really like her."
