Chapter 286: Ice Cream
"What are we doing here?" Rain asked curiously as she stepped out of the car. Instead of heading back to the estate, Alexander had brought her to the town’s festival. She hadn’t realized it could be so lively at this time of night.
"There’s a three-day festival that started yesterday," Alexander explained, taking her hand.
Around them, some people were dressed in traditional outfits unique to the town, adding vibrant colors to the lively atmosphere.
Music filled the air, with bands playing cheerful tunes while others danced with infectious energy. The streets buzzed with excitement as they celebrated the Mystveil Flower Festival, a tradition clearly cherished by the locals.
"Dad used to bring William and me here to play games and try the street food. I thought it’d be nice to experience it together. It’s been ages since I last walked these streets like this."
The bustling festival streets captivated Rain as they strolled past stalls offering a variety of foods. They stopped at a barbecue stall and sat on a bench, savoring the grilled meat on sticks as the lively festival continued around them.
"How was your day? I noticed you were a bit quiet during the ride," Alexander remarked, his tone gentle but curious.
Rain hesitated briefly before deciding to tell him about Brandon’s call. As she explained, Alexander listened intently, his expression thoughtful.
"Don’t worry, we’ll make sure to find that mole," Alexander reassured her, his voice steady.
