First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Dating

Serena Jennings hesitated, not extending her hand.

She clearly saw the disappointment in Ethan White’s eyes.

Serena didn’t want to hurt Ethan White.

But for now, she didn’t want to start a new relationship.

So, she couldn’t accept Ethan White.

Precisely because she couldn’t accept him, she was destined to hurt Ethan White.

Ethan White noticed Serena’s hesitation and conflict; he wasn’t anxious and calmly took hold of Serena’s—

sleeve.

Serena’s eyes widened as Ethan White pulled her forward by her coat sleeve.

In the bustling amusement park, Serena thought, she and Ethan White must be the only pair holding onto a sleeve among all the people!

She and Ethan White were no longer middle school students, yet their actions at this moment felt like they were in that ambiguous phase of middle school.

"What’s going on?"

Ethan White saw Serena suppressing her laughter and asked proactively.

"Nothing, just thinking... the middle schoolers around us aren’t as pure as we are."

Ethan White followed Serena’s gaze and saw a couple of teenagers in school uniforms kissing each other.

Ethan White lowered his head with a bitter smile.

Serena scratched her head, unable to stop reflecting on whether she was being too pretentious.

Just holding Ethan White’s hand wouldn’t be that big of a deal.

However, she still couldn’t bring herself to hold hands with Ethan White without feeling love for him.

Thus, holding onto each other’s sleeves, they arrived at the queue for the ice cave adventure.

Waiting in line can be quite boring if you’re not scrolling through your phone.

But here, Serena didn’t feel it was necessary to check her phone.

Because the surrounding lights were sufficient, illuminating the crystal-clear, whimsical ice sculptures that looked vibrant, colorful, and highly captivating.

Serena gazed at the shimmering ice sculptures, experiencing a sense of being in a fantastical realm.

"Feeling better now?"

Suddenly hearing Ethan’s question, Serena was momentarily stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Ethan didn’t hold back, speaking honestly: "I feel like ever since you returned from Zephyria, you’ve been like a tightly wound spring."

"I..."

"I won’t pry into your privacy... I just want to do my best to help you relax."

After listening to Ethan’s words, Serena suddenly realized.

She knew why Ethan had suddenly invited her to this Ice Snow Carnival late at night!

"Thank you, Ethan..."

Serena shyly lowered her head.

Ethan really understood her well.

Because she had received some information from Chance Bell, Serena had been squeezing her mind trying to figure out how to make Claire Shaw pay the price since returning from Zephyria.

As a result, her whole aura had become oppressive and gloomy.

"Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, no matter what you want to do, I hope you understand... I’m here for you..."

Ethan spoke tenderly, removing his white knitted hat and carefully placing it on Serena.

Serena’s cheeks felt slightly warm, but the next second, she suddenly froze.

"Can you move forward?"

It wasn’t until people in line behind them urged them that Serena snapped back to reality.

She apologized and moved forward with Ethan, yet Ethan noticed Serena’s eyes still fixed on the previous direction.

"What’s wrong, did you see something?"

Serena first rubbed her eyes, confirming multiple times before answering Ethan’s question.

"Ethan, I... I think I saw Lana."

Serena’s words didn’t surprise Ethan much.

This winter’s Ice Snow Carnival held at Lonte is quite famous; it’s only natural for Lana Xavier and her friends to come and have fun.

Ethan thought Serena’s reaction might be so intense because Lana came with others and didn’t invite her?

Tonight’s Lana Xavier was nothing like the Lana they and Serena remembered. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
