The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 359

Chapter 359: Maybe you should consider chasing after me; I’m easy to catch
Weekend. The weather was perfect.

“When are we going to play?” Ava asked early in the morning, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Sam smiled and replied, “How about the afternoon? Nobody really goes to the amusement park early in the morning. It’ll be warmer then too.”

“Oh, so after lunch then?” Ava pouted.

“You’re that eager?” Sam chuckled.

Ava nodded emphatically. “Of course! I heard the amusement park in Kuhang is huge and a lot of fun. I’m worried we won’t get to see everything.”

Sam wanted to tell her that most people enter the amusement park full of excitement, thinking they couldn’t possibly cover everything in one afternoon. But halfway through, they often find their enthusiasm and energy waning, not to mention the crowds or the weather making them want to head home early. It’s like going to a new restaurant, wanting to order everything on the menu, but realizing halfway through that it’s a waste.

However, Sam chose not to dampen her spirits and instead reassured her, “Don’t worry, the park is open until late. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy yourself.”

“Really?!” Ava’s face lit up.

“When have I ever lied to you?” Sam responded.

“Okay then~”

Sam spent the morning replying to messages, including one from Angel asking about his plans for the day. Surprisingly, she didn’t suggest joining them, seemingly giving Sam and Ava some space to spend the day alone.

Sam almost thought it was an illusion. But the only reason he could think of was that Angel, being a girl herself, understood and respected that Ava wanted to spend her last day in Kuhang with someone special. Angel’s unusual generosity seemed like a good sign.

After lunch, Ava was raring to go, and Sam didn’t delay. He grabbed the car keys Mia had given him the night before and they headed downstairs. Just as they reached the entrance of the apartment complex—

“Hey, brother, look over there.”

“What?”

“Isn’t that… Angel’s chauffeur?”

Ava pointed outside. Sam was startled and followed her gaze, only to see a woman in a suit, her long hair whipped by the winter wind, standing beside a black sedan.

Why was she here?

A bad feeling flickered through Sam’s mind, but he approached her with a casual greeting. “Miss Elowen, what brings you here?”

Elowen frowned slightly at Sam’s address—a rare gesture that made her seem less like a robot. But she quickly composed herself, showing no intention of dwelling on the odd formality. She pulled a card from her pocket.

“What’s this?”

“A membership card for the amusement park. Miss Angel asked me to deliver it,” Elowen explained calmly.

Sam couldn’t help but laugh silently. Was the girl giving up on her previous tactics and trying to win him over with kindness now?

Taking the card, Sam asked, “Did she say anything else?”

Elowen considered for a moment before offering, “I can drive you there.”

Sam shook his head. “No need, Miss Elowen. If you have nothing else, you should go back. We can manage on our own.”

“Alright.”

Elowen left promptly, her demeanor as efficient as ever. But then—

“Wait… Miss Elowen!”

Ava called out, causing Elowen to turn back in surprise. Ava smiled at her and said, “Thank you, Miss Elowen!”

“…You’re welcome.”

Elowen seemed momentarily taken aback before quickly getting into her car and driving away. Sam watched the scene, puzzled by Elowen’s uncharacteristically hasty departure. It almost seemed like she was fleeing.

Looking at his sister, who was dressed in a thick pink sweater and jeans, Sam commented, “You’re quite something.”

“Humph, just realizing how amazing I am? Maybe you should consider chasing after me; I’m easy to catch.”

Sam shrugged. “If you’re easy to catch, I’m not interested.”

“What! What if I’m hard to get?”

“Why would I chase someone who’s hard to get? Too much trouble.”

Sam walked ahead, leaving Ava fuming and wishing she could kick the annoyingly smug brother of hers.

They hadn’t driven Mia’s motorcycle yesterday, so it was still parked outside the convenience store. Sam picked up two helmets that Mia had thoughtfully left there.

“It might get a bit cold. Are you sure you’re okay with this? We can take a taxi if you’re worried about the cold.”

Ava shook her head vigorously. “I’m not afraid. I’ve always wanted to know what it feels like to ride a motorcycle!”

“Alright, put on your helmet then.”

“Okay!”

Ava put on her helmet and carefully climbed onto the motorcycle, her cheeks flushing as she tightly hugged Sam’s waist. She held on so tightly that Sam could feel the contours of her body against him, even through their thick clothes.

“Why are you holding on so tight?” Sam asked, somewhat exasperated.

“I’m scared! What if you don’t drive well and I fall off?”

“Alright then.”

Sam could just see Ava’s long legs from his vantage point. Despite the weather not allowing for bare legs, her beauty was evident. From the rearview mirror’s perspective, Ava didn’t look like a ninth grader at all; she could pass for a college student if not for her youthful face.

“Aren’t we going yet?”

Ava’s voice was muffled against his back.

“Alright, let’s go.”

“Charge!”

Sam didn’t drive too fast, but Ava’s heart raced with excitement. She couldn’t even take in the scenery around her, though it was quite cold. The warmth from holding onto Sam seemed to outweigh everything else.

The ride was shorter than she expected.

“When do you plan to let go? We’re here.”

When Sam spoke, Ava nearly dozed off. She had been excited and a bit nervous at first, but the comfort and security of leaning against his back made her relax, perhaps a bit too much.

“Ah… are we here already?”

“Otherwise, should I just drive around Kuhang for a bit?”

“Hmph, Bad brother.”

Ava let go of him. Sam parked the motorcycle and led Ava towards the entrance. With Angel’s card, they didn’t need to wait in the long queue at the amusement park.

As they approached the ticket booth with the card…

“Sir! Miss Angel informed us in advance. This is an all-access ticket. Please keep it with you. You can use this card for all items and souvenirs in the park—one per person, no extra charge. If you need any services, like a tour cart, our staff can prepare it immediately!”

The overly enthusiastic staff member left Sam a bit stunned. He knew being wealthy was nice, but was it supposed to be this nice?

“Could we just go in without the cart? We’ll manage on our own.”

“Of course, sir. If you need to contact staff, there are phones throughout the park. Just dial the number and report the last four digits of this membership card.”

“Thank you.”

Sam quickly ushered Ava inside, partly because everyone around them was staring with exaggerated expressions.

“That girl is so pretty, and the guy is handsome too!”

“Why is his membership card different from mine? I have one too, but it’s not free.”

“Must be a VIP card, right? How can someone so young be so rich?”

…

Ava muttered, though she was also benefiting from the perks, it was hard to stomach such extravagant favors from another girl. It felt like everything belonged to her—the amusement park, the shopping malls, and even her brother seemed like her boyfriend. What could herself possibly compete with?

Damn…

Was she really going to end up calling that girl her sister-in-law?!
