Chapter 0026
Ingrid strode down the stairs in huge steps and darted toward the entrance. She easily found Hansel’s car parked by the roadside.
He leaned against the front of the car. He wore a cream t–shirt inside his dark grey coat with a pair of sleek black casual pants. It made him look like a student, young and energetic. His appearance turned heads.
Within three minutes, he had checked his watch thrice.
They’d promised to meet at 10:00 am. It was already past ten.
Pulling out his phone, he found Ingrid’s number. Just as he was about to call her, at sweetly scented figure approached him.
Ingrid put her arms around his neck. In a honeyed tone, she asked, “Have you been waiting for long?”
“You’re late.” Hansel glanced at her while lazily sticking his hands in his pockets.
“I’m sorry. I promise to be punctual next time.” Seeing that he wasn’t annoyed about. that, Ingrid silently heaved a sigh of relief.
“Get in.” Hansel realized her intentions but didn’t bother to expose her.
Ingrid swiftly got into the passenger seat. On the way, she kept chattering on and on without pausing. Hansel drove with his eyes focused on the road. He occasionally replied to her.
When the car stopped at an intersection, Ingrid happened to look out the window. The large LED screen was displaying an advertisement on the newly opened theme park.
Instantly intrigued, she tugged on Hansel’s shirt. Her eyes lit up with anticipation. “Dear, shall we go there today?”
Hansel hummed in agreement. They were celebrating her birthday today, so it didn’t matter to him where they were going.
He casually handed Ingrid a bag imprinted with the logo of a luxurious jewelry brand. Your birthday gift.”
Ingrid opened it. Surprised, she exclaimed, “Isn’t this Covetus‘ limited edition bracelet from the latest collection? It’s super expensive and really hard to get!”
As she spoke, she immediately took it out of the box and put it on. The bracelet featured a seashell design, and white crystals were embedded on its chain.
As he glanced at her, he realized she was snapping a photo with her phone. He casually said, “I’m glad you like it.”
