EX-husband Groveling to Me -
Chapter 304 Show Me Some Respects
Both of them were dressed simply today. Probably for the show, Joan had prepared matching outfits for them. Suny was wearing an orange vest, gray tracksuit pants, and a white-and-grey UV-protection jacket while Alicia was wearing a light purple vest, gray tracksuit bottoms, and a light pink-and-white UV-protection jacket. They had their hair tied up in a ponytail and both wore a cap. When you looked far and away, you could hardly tell one from the other.
Thinking of the envelope, Alicia opened it and found another clue card inside with only one sentence on it, "He stopped the carriage because he fell in love with the maple trees in late Autumn.”
It was another verse.
Alicia had yielded to these verses and looked towards Suny for help, "Do you know what it means, Suny?"
Suny was silent for a while and said, "No. Not for now."
There was little clue and it was hard for them to guess.
They hiked for more than one hour. It was about noon and the sunlight was getting stronger.
They took a short break in the pavilion and the staff that had been following them didn't stop until then.
This little path was rugged to walk along but it was really shady and cool.
Suny didn't sweat much after a one-hour walk.
Alicia leaned against her shoulder, "Who set this question? It's odd and only half was done."
"Why don't you just admit that you are not smart enough?" Suny smiled.
Once again, Alicia was humiliated. "It's not my fault that I am not smart enough, isn't it?"
"Behave yourself since you know that." Suny lifted her hand to touch Alicia.
Jesus! Alicia thought Suny took her as a fool!
While Alicia was trying to defend her intelligence, Suny suddenly stood up and asked, "Since when there is any maple tree in J City?"
"What maple trees are you talking about?" Alicia was confused.
"Well, stay here." Suny smiled, without any expectation that Alicia would understand it.
Then Suny walked towards a "maple tree" that was not far away from her. And soon enough, Suny found the artificial maple tree. Such an artificial maple tree popped up in the mountain and it was obvious that the crew arranged it here.
She took a look at the maple tree and put the maple tree with the clue card together.
"Is it an...artificial maple tree?" Alicia couldn't hold her curiosity and ran over.
Suny turned and glanced at her, "What? You are not smart. You're not blind."
"Suny, we are in the show. Please show me some respect!"
Alicia pulled Suny's sleeves. She had to say it out now. Otherwise, she would be totally humiliated and ashamed when the show was aired.
Suny cast a glance at the camera. She raised her eyes and said, "Alright! I just do it for the firm, not you."
Then Suny kicked hard on the artificial maple tree suddenly. Alicia was surprised, "Suny, you..."
A card, looking exactly the same as a maple leaf, fell down on the ground right before Alicia could finish talking.
Alicia picked up the card unbelievably. The clue on the card told them to return to the place of departure and replace the point card.
"Are they fooling us around?" Alicia couldn't cheer up as she felt like having been fooled.
The staffs were too embarrassed. The one who had the camera on his shoulder blushed suddenly when he felt Suny was staring at him. Suny took her eyes off and said, "OK. Let's head back."
They turned around to go downhill and happened to meet Shawn and Sam, who were going up the mountain.
"Have you found any clue, Alicia?"
Alicia was not a fool though she was not as clever as Suny. They were the competitors!
"No. So we're going back to see whether we have missed something."
Alicia proved herself a qualified actress. She was good at showing her disappointment and frustration at the time.
"Do you have any idea, Ms. Holland?" Sam glanced at Suny.
"I have no idea, either." Suny smiled lightly.
Shawn and Sam exchanged glances and they knew they couldn't get anything from them.
They took their own paths. Suny and Alicia returned to the botanical garden where they set off this morning.
It was over one o'clock in the afternoon. Suny was hungry and ordered food delivery. Later, they found a cool shade in the park and began eating.
The staffs with the camera were out of words because they were starving, too.
After finishing eating lunch, Suny took out all the three clue cards.
"Suny, have you figured out something?" Alicia took a sip of water.
Suny pointed at the cards, "If I didn't guess it wrong, I think I know where it is!"
"Where?" Alicia was almost choked with water.
"The place of departure."
Suny threw her eyes on those staff with a half-smile. In fact, the staff knew the whole thing. Some of them were too surprised to hide their facial expressions and got caught by Suny. "Let's go." Suny clicked her tongue lightly.
Alicia immediately stood up and caught up with Suny. Very soon, they arrived at the small garden where they started. Suny raised her hand to point to the flowers far away, "The point card, that we're looking for, is probably hidden there."
"Really?" Alicia looked at the flower sea and doubted.
"Why don't you go look for it? They you'll know." Suny looked at her and raised her brows.
"OK. Then you take a rest here. I'll go get it." Alicia agreed.
"Just go." Suny smiled.
While she was saying it, she walked over to the pavilion and sat down there, watching Alicia nearby. More than ten minutes later, Alicia cried out loud in the flower sea, "Oh, Suny, I've got it! I've got it" Alicia ran back happily with the point card in her hand. Right at the time, the compere just popped out from nowhere, "Congratulations, Alicia and Suny. You've finished the task today and here is your performance in the first round, ten points!"
Hearing this, Alicia simply ran over and hugged Suny, "You are awesome, Suny!"
She was about to kiss Suny but the latter raised her hand to stop her, "Calm down. Camera."
"Who cares! You're just awesome!" With it, she kissed Suny on the cheek.
Suny paid a disdainful glance at her, "Really?"
"Really! I've never won any of such intellectual games."
"Indeed!" Suny looked rarely stunned and then smiled.
They had finished the first task with success but the other guests were still on it. They couldn't leave but they were invited to enjoy the afternoon tea in an RV. The other guests came back one by one, but they looked quite different from how they looked when they began the game. Among them, Shirley and Maple looked the worst, with their faces looking depressed and down and their clothes stained with dirty spots
All the guests had found the point cards until five in the afternoon.
It was a long day.
Austin called her as soon as Suny had removed the makeup.
"I've got to go first." She hung up the phone and glanced at Alicia.
Alicia was a public figure with hundreds and thousands of fans waiting for her outside, while Suny was just an ordinary person. She could just remove the makeup, got dressed, and left with her head down, and no one could stop her.
Suny caught sight of Austin's Volkswagen Phaeton as soon as she walked out of the park.
She smiled and walked over to him.00000
