Chapter 70 I took out my cell phone and called Leo, telling him that he didn't have to cpickup tonight.
These days, he always showed up in front of the piano store rain or shine to pickup and dropoff. No matter how much I refused, he insisted on givinga 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 askingwhere 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 sthings 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 scene before us was like something out of a dream.
The park was alive with lights and sounds, laughter echoing in the air.

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. Chapter 70 Shadow picked up the binoculars first, peering out into the night.
I watched him, noting the way his expression changed, becoming strange and unreadable.
"Is the night view beautiful?" I asked, curious.
He hesitated, then shook his head.
"There's nothing to see," he said quickly, setting the binoculars aside and stoppingfrom cking them up.
But something in his voice madesuspicious.
I gently pushed his hand away and lifted the binoculars to my eyes.
The city sprawled out beneath me, a sea of lights glittering like jewels. It was breathtaking.
But then, my gaze drifted to the fairground parking lot, and I froze.
There, stepping out of a limo, were two familiar figures.
Shadow noticed the change in my demeanor and frowned.
"What's wrong?" he asked, concern in his voice.
I lowered the binoculars, my mind racing with questions I didn't yet have the answers to.
"It's nothing," I said, though I knew it was a lie.
The truth was, everything had just beca lot more complicated.
The bright lights of the amusement park glittered below the Ferris wheel.
Shadow and I were slowly reaching its highest point.
The city sprawled out beneath us, but my eyes were drawn to the stretch limousine that had just pulled up at the entrance of the park. My heart skipped a beat as I watched a man and a woman step out.

My breath caught in my throat as I recognized them.
The man was none other than Leo, and the woman-Aria.
I stared in disbelief, the binoculars in my hands trembling slightly.
Although I had known that he had felty betrayed me, I still felt very sick and angry when I saw the image with my own eyes once again. They didn't enter the amusement park.
Instead, they stood at the entrance, talking animatedly.
The binoculars were so clear that I could see every detail the curve of e Aria's smile, the way she reached out to touch Leo's arm.
As I watched them, I couldn't resist a sarcastic smile.
Leo toldhe'd getback. Does he mean he's showingfavor on the surface and secretly contacting Aria in private? I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder, pullingback to reality.
It was Shadow.
I lowered my binoculars and turned back to Shadow, who was looking atwith concern. Even though I was already disappointed in Leo, the pain in my chest was still unbearable. U the Cold Alpha Regretted
