Chapter 104 Two Hearts Approaching
Kristen returned to her bedroom and washed up briefly before leaving.
However, at this time, Lilac and her husband were still waiting at the door. When they saw Kristen and Ethan coming out, they directly rushed over but were stopped by the bodyguards.
The two of them got in the car but Lilac was cursing behind them.
“Ethan, you bastard! You’ll be punished sooner or later!”
Hearing these indecent words, Kristen subconsciously clenched Ethan’s hand. However, Ethan was very calm, as if he was not affected. Instead, he comforted her and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
The driver started the car and drove out.
Neither of them said anything on the way there, but Kristen could sense the change in his mood.
Although Ethan did not say anything or change his expression, Kristen could feel that he was in a bad mood.
“Ethan, don’t take her words to heart.”
Ethan turned his head to look at her. Without saying anything, he pulled her into his arms, “Don’t worry, I’m OK.”
Kristen looked up at Ethan and then checked the time, “There is still some time before the appointment with Ivan. Let me take you somewhere first.”
There was a flicker of doubt in Ethan’s eyes.
Kristen didn’t give him a chance to refuse and asked the driver to change his direction.
The driver took them to an amusement park. At this moment, the amusement park hadn’t opened yet, and there wasn’t anyone inside.
Ethan was slightly surprised, “Why did you bring me here?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Kristen grabbed his hand, “Aren’t you unhappy? I brought you here just to cheer you up.”
With that, Kristen pulled Ethan and started to run. Ethan had no choice but to follow her.
Kristen first took him to the front of the merry-go-round. She pointed to a tall white horse and said, “I’ll ride this one. You can ride next to me.”
Ethan glanced at the grey-colored horse and hesitated for a moment, not daring to take a step forward.
Seeing this, Kristen pushed him onto the horse. Then, music began to play and the merry-go-round started spinning. Kristen seemed to be in a good mood. She opened her arms and a big smile appeared on her face.
“Ethan, do you know I’ve liked merry-go-rounds since I was a child? They gave me a dreamy feeling. So, my family built me a merry-go-round.”
There was a flash of doubt in Ethan’s eyes.
A family that could spend so much money was not ordinary. It seemed that the information he had found before was wrong. Kristen did not look like a child from an ordinary family.
“There is a very popular saying on the Internet that the merry-go-round is the cruelest game since there is an eternal distance between the two players. But I think this saying can be interpreted differently.”
Kristen tilted her head and looked at him, “That is to say, the best relationship between two people is to keep a certain distance from each other. A step forward, you two are too close. A step behind, you two are too far apart. You’d better maintain a certain distance. That is good for both.”
Ethan just wanted to know what was on her mind for her to make a such profound statement.
“It seems that this place is heaven for you.”
Kristen nodded, “Now I’ll give you half of heaven and my happiness.”
Ethan was slightly stunned, and he silently clenched the pole in front of him.
As the merry-go-round spun and looked at Kristen with a bright smile on her face, he seemed to have relaxed a lot and was not as tense as when he first came.
The merry-go-round only lasted for five minutes. When the time was up, it stopped.
Kristen pulled Ethan’s hand, “Come with me, let’s go to the front.”
However, Kristen took Ethan to try almost all the games in the amusement park. The two of them were exhausted, so they found a bench and sat down.
“Did you often come here in the past?” Ethan asked.
Kristen took out a bottle of water and took two big gulps. Then she said, “Not often. I only come when I’m not happy.”
With that, Kristen asked.
“Are you feeling better now?”
Ethan was surprised by Kristen’s question. He had never thought that Kristen would be so careful as to keep an eye on his emotions.
Ethan reached out and rubbed her head.
“What are you worried about? I’m fine.”
Kristen did not believe him. She could tell that Ethan was not happy. She knew that even at this moment, Ethan only looked relaxed on the surface. He was unhappy actually.
Kristen stretched out her hand and caressed the spot between his eyebrows, trying to make him stop frowning.
“Do you mind what Lilac said very much?”
Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had never thought that somebody would see him through. For a moment, he could not say a word.
Kristen comforted him.
“She doesn’t use her brain when she speaks. Don’t take her words to heart, or you’ll be making things difficult for yourself.”
Ethan lowered himself and kissed her, cutting off all her words.
Kristen opened her eyes wide and pushed him away.
“Ethan, what are you doing here?” After saying that, Kristen did not forget to look around. Fortunately, no one was staring at them at the moment.
Kristen’s ears had already turned completely red. She said angrily, “It would be bad if we were photographed by the paparazzi.”
Ethan’s lips curved into a smile, “Don’t worry, no one would dare to release the photos even if we get caught by the paparazzi.”
Kristen was speechless.
Was this what she was worried about?
Ethan looked at her and said slowly, “When my mother met him, she was young, only twenty years old. She just graduated from school…”
Ethan said slowly as he looked into the distance as if he was recalling the past.
“My mother thought she met a good person, but she didn’t expect that he was already married. He lied to my mother and then they got married. My mother got pregnant…”
At this point, Ethan clenched his hands together.
My mother was a gentle, good woman. She was more traditional and never wanted to be a mistress, so when she knew the truth, she left him without hesitation.
Hearing this, Kristen understood everything.
She reached out and held him, “Well, no need to say more. I know.”
