The two exchanged a smile and walked back shoulder to shoulder to the wooden cabin glowing warmly with lights.
As they pushed the door open, a rich aroma of roasted meat and spices enveloped them instantly.
Emily was wearing an apron, taking a huge golden, sizzling roast turkey out of the oven.
The fireplace was burning brightly, and in the corner of the living room, the spruce Christmas tree they had cut from the forest was newly decorated by Emily.
It was adorned with shiny colored lights and many natural trinkets, red berry strings, golden pine cones, and several birch wood animal carvings Lin Yu'an had made earlier.
There were also Ethan and Olivia's handprint clay ornaments, and several gifts wrapped in brown paper tied with twine were already piled under the tree.
The entire cabin was immersed in a simple yet extremely cozy festive atmosphere.
