Chapter 344:
“A trip p>
Amelia’s eyes lit up at Wyatt’s suggestion.
The oppressive heat of Kretol had her longing for a cooler escape.
Still, mindful of Wyatt’s demanding schedule, she asked cautiously, “With everything happening at the company, can you really take some time off p>
“I’ll wrap up some business over the next few days and carve out the time. There’s a quiet northern island I have in mind for our honeymoon trip p>
Wyatt had planned to surprise her later with this, but seeing her weighed down by Ricky’s words, he decided to share the idea now.
Amelia’s face brightened, and she agreed eagerly.
Over the next few days, she visited the Davis Group to sort out work. Her policy of offering a month-long free trial for the new handheld devices with upgraded chips led to a swift sell-out.
This time, sales outstripped the initial launch. After Slater’s ousting, Amelia’s resolve was clear, and the executives of the company didn’t dare object to her anymore, ensuring smooth pre-sale operations.
Three days later, Wyatt and Amelia boarded a flight to the northern island.

When Wyatt mentioned the destination, Amelia had pictured vast glaciers. But as the plane landed, she saw a small island ringed by trees.
Before she could ask, a sharp, cold wind hit her, and Wyatt quickly draped a long black down coat over her shoulders.
He zipped it up for her, then took her hand and guided her in a direction. After walking about a hundred meters, Amelia spotted a pristine white manor, like something out of a storybook.
Barrie and several bodyguards accompanied them.
Once Barrie powered up the main building, he led the bodyguards to a nearby smaller structure.
With the air conditioning on, the living room warmed quickly.
Shedding the coat, Amelia glanced at Wyatt and asked, “What made you want to take me to this place p>
“I’ve been wanting to bring you here for a long time,” Wyatt said with a soft smile.
Noticing her confusion, he led her to the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows without explanation.
The trees had previously blocked her view, but now, standing there, she saw the sweeping landscape beyond.
Her eyes sparkled as she gasped, “There’s a snow mountain p>
Kretol, despite being a coastal city with distinct seasons, rarely saw snow, making the vast snowy peak a thrilling surprise for Amelia.
Seeing her joy, Wyatt’s lips curved into a warm smile. “I’ve asked Barrie to set things up for tonight. We’re going camping in the mountains p>
To Amelia, the mountain looked rugged and winding. She wasn’t sure what Wyatt’s version of camping entailed, but excitement still surged within her.
Darkness fell early here, and by five o’clock in the afternoon, the view outside the window was pitch black. Barrie’s voice called from outside, “Mr. Stewart, we’re ready to go p>
Wyatt grabbed the down coat from the sofa and wrapped it around Amelia.
When Amelia stepped outside with Wyatt, she noticed a row of off-road vehicles waiting at the entrance.
She and Wyatt climbed into the lead vehicle.
Barrie started the engine, and the black vehicle headed toward the distant mountain.
From the manor, the mountain had seemed close, but Barrie drove for over two hours before the white landscape began to appear outside the car window.
The off-road vehicle handled the rough terrain with ease.
It was nine o’clock when the cars finally stopped.
Barrie and the bodyguards hopped out, and as Amelia moved to follow, Wyatt gently grabbed her hand to stop her. “Wait for a while p>
She then heard the sounds of equipment being unloaded.
By the vehicle’s lights, she saw Barrie and the team pull out tents, a barbecue grill, and other supplies.
The bodyguards worked quickly, setting up several tents in minutes.
In the clearing’s center, they lit a fire in the grill.
The tents were double-layered; peeling back the inner black fabric revealed a transparent layer showing the snowy world outside.
Amelia and Wyatt sat in the warmth of their tent, gazing at the serene snowscape, feeling as if time itself had paused.
Their tent, the largest, was fitted with a bed, sofa, and table, like a cozy suite.
While eating barbecue, Amelia noticed a single snowflake land on the tent’s transparent layer. She reached out instinctively, exclaiming, “Wyatt, it’s snowing!
