Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Edwin’s ears were a little hot as he avoided Caroline’s gaze. “After all, I was young at that time…”
Therefore, it was inevitable that he would like this style. Although it did seem quite shameful now. Caroline was a little surprised. “I just didn’t expect you to have such a side.”
Oleg almost burst out laughing when he saw Edwin’s awkward side, but he still kindly explained to Caroline, “Although the style of this park doesn’t match the overall style of the entire business park, it’s actually quite famous, especially on weekends. Many parents bring their children here to play.”
On the contrary, Edwin, the designer, had never been here. Because when the business park hadn’t been built yet, something happened to the Anderson family.
He had no choice but to bear the fate of the Anderson family as a young man. Therefore, he couldn’t care less about the construction of this small park, not to mention that he had an accident and was recuperating outside for several years.
He only came back to settle down this year.
Caroline squeezed Edwin’s hand. “Since you can attract so many people to play, it proves that your design is great.’
Edwin lowered his head and saw that she was full of interest, and a secret happiness suddenly surged in his heart. “What about you? Do you like it too?”
Caroline nodded. “I like it very much.”
Putting aside the fact that this was something that Edwin had designed personally, let’s talk about herself.
Strictly speaking, she was a girl who did not have a childhood. When little girls of the same age were living like princesses, she had long since taken on the glory and mission of the Pritz family, beginning her own arduous training
career.
Other little girls wore princess dresses and played with Barbie dolls. She wore tattered combat training clothes and dealt with all kinds of guns and equipment all day long. Her daily routine was to eat, study, sleep, and train.
Perhaps it was because she had suppressed her nature during her childhood that when she saw these childish things in front of her, she did not feel it was childish like an adult.
Instead, she was unconsciously attracted to them.
Edwin saw the faint desire in her eyes and thought about it.
He then pulled her over and pressed her onto a swing. “What are they doing?” Caroline, who had never played on a swing before, was a little confused.
Edwin moved around behind her. When his palm touched her back, Caroline’s body subconsciously stiffened and her hands grabbed the ropes on both sides.
“I’m sorry.”
She was not used to having someone standing behind her after a long period of combat training, especially when she was sitting on the swing and her lower body was not very stable. So although she knew that Edwin would not harm her, Caroline’s body still had a slight stress reaction.
“No, I should be the one apologizing.” Edwin obviously felt this as well.
He moved his hand away and placed it on the swing rope. After telling her, he pushed it forward with force.
Caroline felt a sense of weightlessness as she was thrown into the air.
As a soldier, Caroline was very familiar with high-altitude events such as rapid descent, parachuting, and gliding. Therefore, when her body was thrown in the air, her limbs and core would subconsciously find a pivot to stabilize her body.
But this time, Caroline didn’t need to do that. She was very safe.
After realizing this, her tense body immediately relaxed, allowing it to follow the laws of gravity.
As the swing was thrown to the highest point, it fell back to the original point.
Edwin grabbed the rope of the swing with both hands and held her in place.
“How was it? Was it fun?”
Caroline nodded. “Not bad. It feels like flying.” She understood why so many children liked to play on the swing. The feeling of relaxing and being free was indeed very comfortable.
Edwin smiled. “Do you still want to play?”
“If you don’t feel tired,” Caroline said with a hint of joy in her voice, “I’ll have to trouble you.”
“I’m more than happy to do so.” Edwin exerted some strength in his hand, and the swing started swinging again.
Oleg and the chauffeur saw that they were having fun, so they avoided them.
“It seems that Sir and Miss Caroline are in a good mood tonight,” the driver whispered.
Oleg looked over. Edwin was smiling under the street lamp. He was looking at Caroline, who was also smiling happily, as if he was looking at the most precious treasure. The sound of laughter and conversation drifted over in the night breeze, making him feel much more relaxed.. “Isn’t this a good thing?”
