Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Not catching a trace of sadness in Ray's face at all, Alexa felt dissatisfied with that.

"Did your girlfriend go to the party without inviting you?" She frowned, pretending to be stupid, even though she was pouring vinegar on his wound to see him hurt. "Sorry, I just feel sorry for you. Is she really your future wife?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"That's so wrong. I mean she's having fun without you. Are you sure you're okay with that?"

"And that's not a problem for me."

"Of course it's a problem." She cleared her empty plate, wiping her mouth with a napkin nonchalantly. "Aren't you afraid if she suddenly meets another man out there?"

Ray watched her busy movement every second, following her hands everywhere, with a completely blank brain.

"Not that I want to accuse her or what, but at parties and crowds anything can happen, right?" she said. "Moreover, she is so beautiful."

"..." Ray stayed there, unfazed by her words.

But in her eyes, she felt like she had succeeded in pinching the tiniest bit of his pain.

She added, "Wouldn't you really be jealous if a man took her from you?"

Ray finally came back to his senses. "Nonsense."

A spoonful of salad went into his mouth. Feeling that this salad had also become crap, he couldn't taste anything anymore.

"Why not?" Alexa shrugged. "If I were a man, maybe I would fall in love with your girlfriend at first sight. At least have the desire to take her to bed. Well, she's got a nice body anyways."

His brow furrowed deeply.

She couldn't help but laugh inside. It would be great if she had the idea to make him jealous to death—until he was really badly hurt and couldn't stand anymore. Most of the dramas she watched were true, to torture a man cruelly, you have to pretend to be stupid when mocking them.

And the result was that he didn't answer for a while and looked at her guessingly.

Somehow she felt his gaze was a bit gentle with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Do you envy her?"

This unexpected question stunned her.

No. Is this what you should say?

Ray smiled softly. "I think you're interesting too. Every woman has her own characteristics and you are also unique in your way. No need to be jealous of other women's bodies."

Alexa, "..."

Who's jealous? Is she jealous of his girlfriend? What kind of joke is this?

Not only did she not succeed in making Ray hurt, she was even thought to be jealous of other people's bodies. This made her shiver with anger until she couldn't say anything.

In the end, they finally went to deck 13 as planned.

After being full from a healthy lunch, she didn't feel like they would need to eat again at least until evening. She didn't need to worry about Fillo's food anymore.

Even though the artificial snow was still made from real ice, the temperature in the large vehicle was listed at only 15 degrees Celsius, not as cold as real winter. However, in order to look after Fillo, Ray still prepared thick clothes for the kid.

Fillo's eyes lit up when he saw the giant all-white room in front of him. He pointed at something excitedly. "Daddy, what is that?"

Ray looked at it and explained, "It's called a snow tube. You want to try it with me?"

Fillo nodded, but then remembered something and glanced at his mother. "Mom, is that okay?"

Snow tubes are generally sliding devices that are shaped like tires and made from balloons. Very big and elastic. There is no definite security around him.

"Is it safe?" Alexa frowned.

Honestly, she was really afraid of heights and things that fell sharply like that. Not a phobia. She was just afraid of falling and feeling pain, especially for Fillo who was still very small and tiny.

"Are you afraid?" Ray teased her, he laughed out loud at her frightened expression.

She glanced at him irritably, accidentally noticing the way he was dressed; very fashionable, trendy and handsome. He wore black wool trousers, a thick bright red coat, a silver scarf, a red hat and earmuffs. His body looked bigger with layers of clothes underneath. It was really too much in temperatures that were not as cold as real winter.

When she glanced at Fillo, the little boy even had almost the same fashion as Ray.

Really father and son!

"Fillo, you see it's so dangerous for you. Why not try another ride?"

After saying that, she knew she would definitely get the kid's disappointed face.

"Geez, what's the problem? There's a double snow tube over there. Fillo can ride that with me. Isn't that right, Peanut?" Ray intervened. "Hey, you have to reassure Mom, so she doesn't worry."

Of course Fillo was very happy to hear that. But when he glanced at Alexa, his face looked very worried and hesitant.

"Okay, okay. You can go up."

"Yay!" Ray exclaimed, giving Fillo a high five to get the little boy's spirits back up. Then carry him on his back. "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

"Hey—"

Before she could say something, she was left alone. Ray and Fillo headed to the ticket post to get a red double snow tube.

"You know, red is my favorite color," Ray said.

"I like blue."

"Then do we need to change the color blue?"

Fillo shook his head. "If it was changed to blue, wouldn't Daddy be sad?"

"So, wouldn't you be sad if it wasn't blue?" Ray frowned.

"No! I'm not the only one who will have fun, Daddy has to have fun too, right? So, I don't mind any color."

"Ow, sweet boy. Quickly kiss me!" Ray was excited and moved his body to tease Fillo.

The kid lowered his head, unfortunately without difficulty kissed his cheek.

"Daddy, is Mom angry with me?" Fillo asked suddenly.

"Why?" Ray asked back.

"Because I didn't want to listen to her when she told me not to," said Fillo sullenly.

"If she gets angry, I will protect you."

"Is it true?

"I promise you. Men can't break their promises. In the future, you can't break your promises either, okay?"

"Mn."

They slide on a special snow tube which was limited by tense lines. Many visitors joined in playing, making the place busy and colorful. Fillo even laughed out loud without hesitation, his personality seemed to have been washed clean from aloof to lively.

While they were playing, the two of them completely ignored Alexa.

Apart from snow tubing, they also tried other games, including; ride a cable car, make a snowman, play in the snowfall, visit a castle made of ice cubes and ski.

Because skiing required skill, the game was played at the last minute of their time. The counter rents all the equipment used in skiing, even beginners will be given very safe safety equipment. With that pleasure, not only did they forget about her, but they also forgot about time.

Damn it, this was the moment where her heart would be tested.

If one day their relationship was truly revealed, she didn't dare imagine that both of them would agree to blame her. She had been lying from the start; separating them, being dishonest even after bringing them together. This does sound very selfish, maybe Fillo won't forgive her.

"Shit!"

Unconsciously, she squeezed the milkshake cup in her hand so that the contents spilled out. The warm milk in it fell onto someone else's shoe who was nearby accidentally.

"Hey, be careful, dude! You're getting my shoes dirty!" A man cursed.
