Hale looked up and saw the three of us. Since Karina and I were wearing helmets, he didn’t recognize us at first. Like Cathy, he also thought the scene was beautiful.[]
As the dance music ended, I took off my helmet and casually tossed my long hair. “That was amazing!”
Upon recognizing me, Hale was clearly taken aback![]
He’d never known that I could skate so skillfully.
In his impression, aside from being cunning, I was dull and boring.
Karina also took off her helmet. “Mom, it was so much fun!“[]
The little girl didn’t notice Hale’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 Karina’s dad.“[]
She’d heard Fredrica say that after her parents divorced, her mom would find a better uncle to be her dad. Karina really liked Thomas a lot and thought it would be wonderful if he could become her dad.
Hearing that, Hale’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 Karina for a moment? I need to use the restroom.” I didn’t pay much attention to Karina’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.[]
Hale was standing behind me, his eyes filled with darkness.
