There were a few children playing in the snow nearby. Her lips curled into a smile as she watched the smile on their faces and heard the sound of their laughter.
Beautiful things had always moved her easily. Encouraged, she put on a scarf and went outside.
She stood a distance away from the children, and she started building a snowman.
She made two snowmen, one slightly bigger than another.

Irene buried her face in the scarf around her neck, leaving only her eyes unconcealed. "It'sand my grandma." "Oh... So the big one is your grandma and the small one is you!" the little girl said.
Irene shook her head. "I'm the bigger one. The smaller one is my grandma." Her grandmother had always been a petite old woman, and ever since she had fallen ill, she had only lost more weight.
Her grandmother appeared like a tall tree when Irene was younger, giving her a sense of security, but she soon outgrew her grandmother.
As she grew and her grandmother aged, she becthe one who protected her grandmother. It was a shthat her grandmother could not live till she beca capable young woman.
At half past six in the evening, the snow continued to fall from the dark sky.
After buying food from a restaurant, Irene snuck into the Woods' mansion.
The door to the main block was closed, and it was unlikely for anyone to open the door in such cold weather.
She relaxed slightly and opened the door to the South Block yard and went to the window of the bedroom on the first floor to knock on the window like she had the day before.
Shortly after, the door to the South Block opened and she hurried over.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lucas! The door to the main block is closed so no one saw me. She set the food she had brought on the table and loosened the scarf around her neck before taking off her gloves. There were heaters in the South Block, so she felt much warmer after entering.

"You to like lamb so I bought more. This restaurant is really famous, and there was a long line when I got there!" Lucas sat down on a chair in the dining room.
Irene immediately pushed the boxes containing the lamb stew and lamb shack in front of him.
"I'll put the rest in the fridge, Mr. Lucas." She carried the rest of the food into the kitchen.
"My dad cto seetoday," he said casually. His eyes were on her as he took a bite out of the lamb shank.
Irene halted and turned to look at her. "What did he say? Did he say when you get to go outside?" "He asked if I regretted what I did, and I said no." He took a sip of the lamb stew and said, "He was furious." Irene put the food into the refrigerator and sat down by the dining table before looking at him with resignation. "Mr. Lucas, you would have been free by now if you said you regretted it." S "You would have lied to be free if you were me, right?" he said with contempt. "You are you, and I am me. I won't ever beca coward, nor would I submit to the people I hate!" She flushed. "I admire you, Mr. Lucas." She paused for a moment, before continuing, "You are your own person, and even if you are wrong sometimes, you stay confident and insistent." "You are mocking me." He took another bite of the lamb shank.
"I didn't, Mr. Lucas..." she argued.
"My dad knows that you are sendingfood," Lucas drawled. "I was eating pork ribs when he cto seein the afternoon." Irene stared at him in shock.
Seeing how anxious she looked, he said, "I wonder how he is going to punish you."
