"It could have rained like this he didn't come back home. Does Celine want to freeze to death in there?"

Marvel walked out of his study. Marvel's hurriedly knocking of his feet made everyone's eyes fixed on him.

"Do you know where your wife is? You're gonna pick her up, aren't you?"

"Now, the last time Celine was in the back garden, after which she went where, I think Celine was in the log house, Grandma." Marvel snatched the flashlight neatly tucked away in the closet.

"Why is he going there alone? He could take Elma there. Marvel quickly picked up Celine, grandma didn't want anything to happen to her. Don't let anything bad happen to your wife."

"Hem." Marvel exhaled in the air, trying to stay calm so as not to scold Celine later.

No matter how hard the rain is out there, no matter how fast lightning strikes the sky that night, Marvel still runs through the rain and the cold of the night wind.

"May God protect my two grandchildren." Grandma's worried about Marvel leaving without a raincoat.

While Celine

The sound of lightning woke Celine up from her sleep, when she opened her eyes the day was already getting dark. The rain that hit that afternoon undoes Celine's intention to return to the main house. Celine deliberately waited for the rain to subside, but it turned out that the night the rain fell more and more.

"I'm so scared, why aren't the lights on?" Celine pressed the light switch stuck to the wall, but it didn't work at all, now she was confined to a pitch-black room.

The thunderous sound of thunder in the silent night managed to make Celine cry, this time her fear multiplied from the fear she felt when trapped in the elevator that time. This made Celine remember Marvel.

"She can't possibly pick me up" Celine said with tears on her cheeks.

The cold night wind enveloped Celine's body. The rain water coming from the leaking part of the roof had already soaked his hair and clothes. In this kind of darkness, Celine walked around fingering the wall trying to find a safer corner for her.

Celine sat on the floor. His body was already shivering from the cold. Celine bent both knees and hugged him tightly, only that way could she warm him up a little.

"Dad, I'm afraid to be alone here, please pick me up" Celine said.

The thunderous sound of lightning made Celine scream hysterically, even reflexively closing her eyes and ears, trapped in the eerie silent night. There was nothing he could do but wait until tomorrow morning.

Only the light of the flashlight that is not too big becomes the only way lighting tool for Marvel. The path hidden among the bushes became where his feet rested, his entire body was drenched in rain water, but still did not dampen his intention to pick up Celine.

"Celine..!"'s chat....!"

"Where are you on line?"

Marvel kicked at the door along with the sound of lightning that almost blinded his ears.

Celine flinched, she felt the sound of Marvel calling her name.

"Marvel can't possibly pick me up," Celine said with her lips trembling with coldness. Celine didn't even open her eyes.

Marvel highlighted every corner of the room. Then he found the figure he was looking for. Celine was sitting with her face between her knees. It seemed that Celine had yet to notice his presence. The woman did not see him one bit. But even so Marvel was able to breathe a sigh of relief again.

Still wearing his office stellan he approached and squatted in front of Celine.

"Stupid!" marvel said as she slapped Celine's head. Celine immediately raised her head to look at him.

"Ma-Marvels?" Celine did not know what to say, she felt grateful that someone had come to pick her up. And that's Marvel. Marvel saved her again this time.

"You're not a kid who doesn't know the way home, are you? Or are you more comfortable living in this house?"

Celine shook her head weakly. This time Celine had no intention of debating Marvel, she was just crying like a child that her father scolded.

"You've managed to make everyone worry about you." Marvel was still focused on looking at Celine's eyes.

"Ma-sorry." Celine replied while tightly hugging her own body.

"Here you go, it looks like the rain has started to subside. We better get home or we'll both be stuck here until tomorrow morning."

Marvel stood up but his eyes were still focused on Celine. Marvel's frown even had his eyebrows almost fused together when he saw that Celine was cold and had trouble standing. That makes Marvel not want to see it.

Marvel took off his work shirt and put it on Celine's back.

"It's wet, but at least it's better than your shirt" Marvel said, helping Celine stand up.

Celine was surprised to see Marvel, but immediately lowered her head in embarrassment to see Marvel's body covered in a thin T-shirt. Look, Marvel's body muscles are imprinted perfectly.

"It shouldn't be necessary. You're cold, aren't you?"

"I'm fine." Marvel put the flashlight in Celien's hand. "Hold this."

"You're the one who took him, I'm afraid we're lost."

But, Marvel did not reply, he turned his back to Celine.

"Get it." Furniture slightly bent body.

"I'm not just walking."

"This time do not argue."

"All right." Celine had no choice but to climb onto Marvel's back.
