The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 38

Thomas's full name is Thomas Chad, and he's been a rising star in the skating circle these past two years.

When Iris and I arrived, he was leaning against the railing with his skating shoes on. His training uniform was still unchanged. He was thin, with long legs, and the sleeves of his shirt fluttered like a fairy in exile.

His face, especially, was like a crown made of jade, with a few strands of bangs falling down, revealing a handsome man. I couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing me, a shy smile appeared on Thomas's face. "Miss Navier."

I pulled Iris back. "Say hello to uncle."

"Uncle, you're so handsome, like a fairy." After leaving the Spencer's house, Iris was completely relaxed and spoke without any restraint.

Thomas blushed and laughed, presenting Iris with a small white bracelet as a gift.

Iris liked it so much that she immediately put it on her wrist and started examining it on her own.

"Miss Navier, I've heard about your situation... It's okay." Seeing Iris walk away, Thomas looked at me with concern in his eyes.

I nonchalantly shook my head. "It's all over now, and that's really good."

Thomas's gaze was still weighed down with worry.

He was extremely perceptive, and he naturally knew that I hadn't completely escaped from my previous marriage, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"Miss Navier, why don't you perform figure skating?" Thomas suggested thoughtfully.

After all, a bad mood needed to be relieved.

Hearing that suggestion, I felt a bit of an itch in my heart.

Although my skating skills weren't as good as Thomas's, I had practiced seriously. At first, I only practiced to impress Thomas, but later on, I genuinely fell in love with figure skating.

"Sure." I thought, after all, there wasn't much else to do right then, and it'd be fun. "But I want to bring Iris along."

Thomas naturally didn't object.

Upon hearing that Thomas and I would take her ice skating, Iris clapped her hands joyfully and started running around.

Thomas found skating shoes and training clothes for the two of us and then led us to the ice rink.

First, Thomas introduced Iris to the rink and taught her some simple moves while I began warming up.

Iris's learning speed was surprisingly fast, and she was able to skate around the rink under Thomas's guidance in a short time.

I followed along with graceful glides, holding Iris's other hand, and the three of us skated together.

Suddenly, our little group of two tall figures and a smaller one on the ice looked so handsome, beautiful, and the child was just adorable. It immediately drew a lot of attention and admiration from others.

He'd never known that I could skate so skillfully.

In his impression, aside from being cunning, I was dull and boring.

Iris also took off her helmet. "Mom, it was so much fun!"

The little girl didn't notice Aubrey's presence because she was completely charmed by Thomas. She held Thomas's hand tightly and wouldn't let go. "Uncle Thomas, can I call you dad? You can be Iris's dad."

She'd heard Fredrica say that after her parents divorced, her mom would find a better uncle to be her dad. Iris really liked Thomas a lot and thought it would be wonderful if he could become her dad.

Hearing that, Aubrey's face suddenly turned grim!

Though he didn't say anything, Cathy could still feel an icy chill in the air around her, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Thomas, can you watch over Iris for a moment? I need to use the restroom." I didn't pay much attention to Iris's words and entrusted her to Thomas's care before stepping into the restroom.

As soon as I entered, the door behind me slammed shut.

I was startled, and when I turned around, I saw a dark face.

Aubrey was standing behind me, his eyes filled with darkness.
