When the car came to a stop, Olivia realized that Eugene had taken her to an indoor skating rink. “Roller skate?” “Do you know how?” he asked. Olivia replied, “I’ve done it in the past, but it’s been a long time.” “Let’s go in and have a look.”
Then, he bought tickets for the two of them and headed inside. Although it was already late at night, there were still many people at the rink as it was open until 3.00AM. After all, the people who came here to skate were mostly youngsters, and it suited their lifestyle of staying up late at night and not waking up early in the morning. The couple was dressed in matching clothes, and their stunning and compatible features attracted the attention of many of the other skaters as soon as they showed up.
After changing into a pair of roller skates, Eugene led Olivia into the rink by her hand. She was still cautious at the beginning as it had been a long time since she last skated, only sticking to the edge of the rink.
Eugene held her hand and said, “It’s fine, just hold onto my hand and I won’t let you fall. Vihenever I got into a bad mood, I’d always come here for a skate. I’m great at this!”
Olivia chuckled. “Do you know any tricks?” Hearing that, he pointed at a few slopes that were meant for experienced skaters. “I used to do those when I was younger, but it’s been a long time since I came too.”
“Why?” Eugene glanced at her. “That’s because after I got together with you, I’ve never been in a bad mood.”
“Sweet talker.”
“Not at all.” “So, you’re in a good mood even when you’re arguing with me?”
“That’s different from what I felt before. It’s not like I’d stop loving you just because of an argument, but before this, I just didn’t see any point in living!”
Olivia remained silent, looking at him a little sadly. “We won’t argue anymore, and you shouldn’t think like that either. Think about it, not only do you have me, but you have four sons who need you, Mr. Nolan. You have to work hard to raise them.”
Eugene let out a laugh. “Okay. When they grow up, we’ll find a nice place to settle down and retire.” Olivia frowned and asked, “Shouldn’t we visit our grandchildren too?”
“No, what if my girlfriend gets tired?” Olivia covered her mouth, unable to hide her smile. “Aren’t we thinking a little too far ahead?”
“It’s not far at all, just a matter of ten years or so.” As the two chatted, they continued to practice, and Olivia soon got the hang of it again. “Let’s skate inside.”
“Okay,” Eugene agreed. Most of the people on the skating rink were teenagers, and each of them was holding hands with another while they circled around the rink, as if they had agreed upon it beforehand. When they were faced with the challenging and uneven tracks along the way, they only skated over them with ease with bright smiles on their faces. Just the sight of them made her feel a lot better.
All of a sudden, a girl at the end of their row grabbed Olivia and said, “Let’s go together!” Olivia smiled in reply, instinctively reaching out. to hold onto Eugene. Just like that, the two- smoothly joined the group of young skaters, and she felt much brighter as if a heavy stone had been lifted off her heart, her smile turning carefree as well.
Although she was a little fearful of the uneven tracks, she eventually relaxed upon realizing that Eugene was right behind her. While she felt uneasy when she skated past the tracks for the first time, she felt much calmer afterward.
It was undeniable that this activity made her forget about all her troubles. She even considered taking North and Jewel as well as the Rogers siblings along in the future.
To be honest, why should she care about what Azalea said if Eugene didn’t like her in that way? If she lost her temper and got into a fight with Eugene knowing that Azalea was after him, wasn’t she just fulfilling her wishes?
She would never! In fact, she planned on getting along with Eugene instead of pushing him even further away. After all, she couldn’t bear to give up such a good boyfriend like him!
The hand that was clasped in Eugene’s hand mischievously scratched his palm. When he turned to look at her, she sent him a cheeky smile. Seeing that, Eugene felt as if the storm above him had cleared, and his hand tightened around hers.
