Chapter 87: If We Continue
"....." Victor felt uneasy when he did not hear a reply for a long time. When he turned to look at her, he noticed that she had taken out earphones at some point and was talking to someone on the phone. He closed his eyes and took a breath of relief. He had become too noisy now. Despite knowing that she did not like people helping her or taking pity on her, he was going to offer her help.
Her voice slowly died on the phone and she then looked at him.
"Sorry, I received a call. Were you saying something?" she smiled at him. The smile washed away his despair and he smiled again.
"Yes, I was asking, would you like to try hotdogs here? They make the best ones." Nora followed her gaze and noticed that he was pointing at a small cart not any luxurious shop suiting his position. With a chuckle, she nodded.
They both stopped their cycles and ordered two hotdogs.
"Have you been here before?" Nora was looking around like a curious child that surprised him. It was a common hanging place for kids from all kinds of status. There was a gaming zone and amusement park nearby. And a large market where you can get all kinds of shopping items and trinkets.
Nora looked at the distance as she shook her head. Even in her two lifetimes, she never got the chance to come to places like this. The reply instantly made his chest tightened. He did not even remember how many times he had been there with friends or family when he was young. He was sure every person in his school had been here.
"Would you like to go to an amusement park? It would be fun. We can always buy study material after that?" his eyes gleamed as he asked so. What was there to feel bad about? If she had not seen something, he would take the chance and show her. He would be the first person she would smile with. The thought trembled his heart and a strange anticipation grew in his heart.
Nora looked at his excited face. She had just received a call from Alric asking where she was and when she was returning. Alex was going out with friends already in the evening and he wanted her to follow him. But that was not the problem. She had heard Victor, but she had intentionally played dumb. How could she not read the child of a young man? Relationships would be the last thing she would think about.
