After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 70

I took out my cell phone and called Leo, telling him that he didn't have to come pick me up

tonight.

These days, he always showed up in front of the piano store rain or shine to pick me up and drop me off. No matter how much I refused, he insisted on giving me a ride. 'I have a date with a friend,' I said, trying to sound casual.

Leo was always very interested in my schedule, and I didn't want him to keep asking me where I was going with whoever I was with.

But at this point, on the other end of the line, he seemed distracted as well.

"I was just about to call you," he said, "I've got some things to take care of tonight too, so I might not be able to pick you up."

I sighed in relief, glad I hadn't impulsively invited Leo to the amusement park, or I would have just faced another rejection.

I finished the call and followed Shadow to his motorbike.

After putting on my helmet, I climbed onto the back, holding on as he revved the engine.

The bike shot forward, and in no time, we arrived at the amusement park.

The scene before us was like something out of a dream.

The park was alive with lights and sounds, laughter echoing in the air.

But it was the Ferris wheel that caught my eye-the giant wheel towering over everything else, a hundred meters tall, its lights twinkling like stars against the night sky.

We bought our tickets and made our way to the Ferris wheel, boarding one of the small, glass-enclosed boxes.

Inside, there was a telescope mounted on the side, allowing tourists to take in the full view of the city below.
