Chapter 130: Chapter 130

Elias Lancaster glanced over and took her to pay the deposit, and the owner came to unlock a tandem bicycle for them.

He helped her get on first, "Sit properly."

"Elias, can you ride?"

"I rode for a while when I was studying abroad."

"I thought someone like you wouldn’t need such things," Serena Keaton remarked, a bit surprised.

"I’m human too, and besides, even if I couldn’t, I’d learn for you," Elias Lancaster said in a solemn tone.

"Elias, you’re so great!"

Elias Lancaster looked at her clear eyes, shining brightly, and couldn’t help but lean in and give her a kiss.

Serena Keaton was taken aback, her face instantly reddened, and she quickly looked around, relieved to find no one watching them.

Elias Lancaster straddled the bike, "Let’s go."

He slowly pedaled the bicycle, Serena Keaton following his pace, looking at the man’s broad shoulders and toned waist, her face brimming with a happy smile.

They rode along the riverside, seeing many couples openly holding hands and being lovey-dovey.

When Serena Keaton got tired of pedaling, Elias Lancaster led the way back to return the bike.

Then, they walked back.

As they passed the toy machine, Serena Keaton stopped.

"Sweetheart, what’s wrong?"

"That big rabbit is so cute!"

"Elias, I want that one!"

Elias Lancaster wasn’t interested at all, "This isn’t fun."

"Are you saying that because you don’t know how?"

Elias Lancaster, "..."

Then, he turned and walked toward the coin vending machine.

Elias Lancaster bought two hundred coins in one go, enough to play.

When Elias Lancaster returned, Serena Keaton excitedly picked up two coins and put them into the toy machine.

The machine immediately started, and she manipulated the control lever towards the big rabbit. When she thought the position was right, she dropped the claw.

The direction was off.

Serena Keaton pouted, "Why did it go off?"

Elias Lancaster glanced, "It’s normal."

If it were that easy to get, this business would have closed down long ago.

He watched Serena Keaton’s huffing and puffing expression from the side and couldn’t help but chuckle.

The store had around ten toy machines, with several couples also battling to win plush toys.

Serena Keaton, not convinced, tried several times but still couldn’t win the big white rabbit.

She regrettably looked at Elias Lancaster.

Elias Lancaster took her hand to another machine with a big frog toy inside. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

It was suspended by only one string; if the string broke, one could win the frog.

Serena Keaton expectantly watched Elias Lancaster.

The string was almost severed, but it just wouldn’t break.

Serena Keaton saw the game coins dwindling but still unbroken, and she didn’t want to continue.

"Elias, this is a scam, let’s not play anymore."

This was simply wasting money; spending made Serena Keaton’s heart ache.

But Elias Lancaster remained persistent, "We’re close."

Serena Keaton had no choice but to stand by and wait.

Coin after coin went in, with Elias Lancaster trying repeatedly, until finally, when they were down to the last two game coins.

Serena Keaton’s mouth dropped open, unable to believe it, they had really won.

After realizing it, she eagerly ran to find a staff member to open the machine and retrieve the large frog!

The frog was huge; she carried it with one hand, grinning widely.

"Elias, you’re so amazing!"

She held the big toy in one hand and Elias Lancaster’s hand in the other, walking out of the toy machine store, catching envious glances from neighboring couples.

Before long, Serena Keaton got tired of carrying it and handed the plush toy to Elias Lancaster.

Elias Lancaster only walked a few steps with the large frog in his arms, while the people nearby covered their mouths, chuckling.

He glanced down at the big green frog in his hands and paused.

A moment later, someone approached them, respectfully taking the frog from Elias Lancaster and leaving.

Only then did Serena Keaton realize that they had bodyguards trailing them all along.

Thinking about it, it made sense that with Elias Lancaster’s status, having bodyguards while going out was necessary; otherwise, encountering enemies like last time would be too dangerous.

With bodyguards, there’s assurance of safety.

Without the big frog toy, their hands were suddenly free.

Serena Keaton spotted a pet store nearby and, without hesitation, dragged Elias Lancaster inside.

Entering, she saw many adorable cats and dogs.

Instantly, she let go of Elias Lancaster’s hand to play with the kittens and puppies.

Elias Lancaster looked at his now empty hand, "..."

Not happy, very much not happy.

But when he saw Serena Keaton’s excited and happy face,

he thought, never mind, his sweetheart’s happiness is most important; he brought her out to ensure her joy.

The pet store was bustling, with the glass windows displaying small kittens, captivating the girls’ attention.

With the staff’s permission, Serena Keaton cautiously held a kitten, stroking its fur.

Elias Lancaster was directly forgotten on the side, while she focused only on playing with the pets.

Initially, Elias Lancaster could patiently wait as he watched Serena Keaton’s happiness.

But as time passed, Serena Keaton didn’t even glance at him.

His dissatisfaction grew.

His face darkened as he stared coldly at the kitten enjoying itself in Serena Keaton’s embrace.

Serena Keaton was oblivious to Elias Lancaster’s mood.

Only when the kitten jumped down from her embrace did she turn around and see the man’s sullen face.

She blinked, realizing she might have just ignored someone.

Forgot her sulking husband.

"Elias, I didn’t mean to."

Elias Lancaster merely gave her a bland look and said nothing.

Serena Keaton internally screamed trouble, trouble.

She reached out and tugged his clothing hem, "Elias, I won’t play with them anymore."

Elias Lancaster clearly still wasn’t happy.

Serena Keaton shook his hand, "I’m only drawn to the cute pets, I won’t play with them anymore, okay?"

Elias Lancaster continued to ignore her.

Moments ago, she had completely ditched him.

Serena Keaton chuckled twice, "Honey, let’s check out other stores."

As long as they leave this pet store, Elias should stop being mad.

She was just thinking about discussing with him bringing home a cute kitten.

This vinegar jar has overturned again!

This man really keeps brewing jealousy.

Jealous of their son, jealous of the pets too.

Forget it, to avoid the man’s daily jealousy, let’s give up.

She quickly dragged the man out of the pet store, glancing back at the kittens in the windows with reluctance.

Later, Serena Keaton tried coaxing Elias Lancaster for quite a while, but he ignored her.

As they walked into a secluded alley, she looked around at the deserted surroundings, stood on tiptoe, and quickly pecked Elias Lancaster on the lips.
