Chapter 372 Journey Back
Mitchell smiled as he kept his eyes on Willow, nodding before standing up again. He then somewhat unsteadily walked toward the bathroom, with Willow following closely behind, being cautious. When they reached the bathroom door, Mitchell suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to face Willow. Willow also stopped, looking puzzled, and asked, "Mitchell, what's wrong?" Mitchell smirked and then raised his hand to point to his face, bringing it close to Willow's.
Willow didn't immediately grasp his meaning and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" Mitchell's face blushed slightly, looking a bit childish. But his face was clean, nothing dirty on it.
In a deep, husky voice that seemed particularly seductive in the quiet night, Mitchell said, "Give me a kiss." Willow's face instantly turned red, and under Mitchell's gaze, she puckered her lips and quickly planted a kiss on his cheek. Only then did Mitchell happily turn and enter the bathroom. Willow stood at the door, worried that something might happen to him, until she heard the sound of water, which eased her mind a bit.
After about ten minutes, Mitchell came out, his wet hair slicked back, wearing only a towel around his lower body, his upper body bare, and he walked out like that. Willow stood at the door, stunned in place, while Mitchell stood before her, his muscular chest and abs on full display, with a hint of a sexy V-line trailing down. Water droplets from his hair fell on his chest, following the contours of his muscles down. Willow's heart rate, which had just calmed down, began to accelerate uncontrollably. She swallowed, unable to linger her gaze on any part for more than a second.
Her gaze finally fell to the floor. She hesitantly said, "Mitchell, why aren't you wearing pajamas?" Mitchell innocently looked down at the white towel wrapped around him, and said with a hint of grievance, "It fell on the floor and got wet."
"Wet? Did everything get wet?" What about the underwear she wrapped inside? Before Willow could figure it out, she heard Mitchell reply, "Yes, both the underwear and pajamas got wet."
Willow could clearly feel her face burning, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Mitchell's lower half wrapped in a towel. So, Mitchell wasn't wearing anything underneath! Shocked, Willow immediately turned around. "I'll go find a hairdryer for you," she said and then hurriedly ran off.
When she returned with the hairdryer, she found Mitchell still waiting for her in the same spot. She couldn't help but find the tipsy Mitchell quite cute for the first time. She went back upstairs to get him another set of pajamas and underwear. When she grabbed the underwear, she saw another clean set in the suitcase. Luckily, Mitchell had brought two sets; otherwise, he would have to wear her dad's.
This time she didn't dare let him dress in the bathroom alone. She led him back to her room, where he changed, while she waited at the door. After a while, Willow gently knocked. "Mitchell, are you done changing?" He replied, "All set."
When Willow pushed the door open and entered, she saw Mitchell buttoning up his shirt, the sleeves of his pajamas rolled up to his elbows, leisurely fastening the buttons, with a few still undone, revealing a sexy collarbone. Mitchell turned around when he saw her come in, tilting his head and smiling at her.
Willow felt uneasy, avoiding looking directly at Mitchell. As he finished buttoning up, Mother Nelson suddenly knocked on the door, as Father Nelson had already gone to bed. She came to check on Mitchell's condition, and after helping Willow settle Mitchell in the attic, she went back to rest.
Willow returned to the downstairs bathroom, blushing as she washed and hung up Mitchell's wet pajamas and underwear, before taking her own shower. This was the first time she had washed men's underwear. When she lived in Mitchell's apartment before, he never let her do laundry. It was Mitchell who had helped wash her underwear before. This feeling was like taking their relationship to the next level.
Willow and Mitchell spent five days in Seaspring Valley City and left on Sunday afternoon. Before leaving, Father Nelson went to Valley Academy to attend an elective course, and they went along, sitting in the back row of the classroom, experiencing what it was like to be in love during class. Willow looked at Mitchell beside her and remembered her university days.
Back then, Mitchell was not Willow's boyfriend yet.
While Willow attended A University, Mitchell had already graduated, but as a favorite student of the professors, he was often summoned back to help. He would always bring some snacks to Willow, and they would sit in the back row of the classroom together, where he would 'coincidentally' bring her snacks, usually two bags, one for her and one for Daniel. She looked forward to the professor's class on Tuesday afternoons, as Mitchell would usually show up, bringing her two big bags of snacks.
Of course, it wasn't the snacks she was looking forward to, but the chance to see Mitchell in class.
On the journey back, Father Nelson and Mother Nelson prepared many local specialties from Seaspring Valley City for them, filling their luggage to the brim. These local specialties carried the love of Father Nelson and Mother Nelson for them. Willow did her best to carry them until the luggage was full, bidding a reluctant farewell to her parents before boarding the plane back to Horizon City.
Willow had always been independent, not wanting her parents to worry, but she couldn't help but shed tears when saying goodbye at the airport. Father Nelson and Mother Nelson urged them to go inside, and after they entered, Mother Nelson wiped away her tears in secret. For someone who rarely cried, goodbyes were always the hardest, and the tears just wouldn't stop.
Mitchell held Willow tightly, watching her teary eyes, feeling a pang of heartache. He softly and indulgently coaxed her, "Willow, don't cry. We'll come back to visit your parents more often in the future." Willow, with traces of tears in her eyes, looked up at Mitchell and nodded. "Okay," she replied and then carried the love given by her parents back to Horizon City.
As the plane flew higher and higher, the beautiful scenery of Seaspring Valley City grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared from view. Mitchell looked out the window from the side.
Seaspring Valley City, they would surely return soon.
