Chapter 61 Derick nodded and walked into the amusement park as I followed right behind him.
"Why did you leave the group?" he asked.
"It was a group chat for you guys, and I don't say anything in there anyway. Witharound, you guys have to be so cautious of what you have to say." I was telling the truth. They used to throw around dirty jokes here and there, but Chris had always reminded them of my presence.

I didn't reply. He stopped in front of a scooter and asked, "Can I try this out?" "Go ahead." The moment I gave him the green light, he actually got onto the scooter and began to zoom around.
"Hey! This is pretty fun." It was as if he had suddenly beca three-year-old.
I stayed silent as I watched him play. After turning a couple of rounds, Derick finally asked, "Are you really giving up on Chris?" I leaned against the railing and said, "I'm allergic to cheaters, remember?" He turned another round before rolling up next to me. "Don't you think letting go would be doing someone else a favor?" "I've always been open to charity." He laughed at my reply and stopped the scooter. "Do you know what everyone talked about after you left the group chat yesterday?" "I don't want to know," I replied straightforwardly.
Derick went ahead and said it anyway. "They all said you let go much too easily, 2/3 and it meant you never loved him enough in the first place." I nodded slightly. "Probably." "Do you know what Chris did when he saw that?" Derick asked, looking atcalmly.
I thought about it for a second before saying, "Did he leave the group?" He gavea thumbs-up. "You guys are a perfect match when it comes to that.
"Well, a red rose is the perfect match for him now." The moment I said that, Kara jogged up to me.
"Ms. Crown, our food is here. Do you want to eat now?" I looked at Derick. "If that's all you wanted to say, feel free to play around for a bit. I'm going to have my lunch." "Go ahead. I'm going to revisit my childhood," he said. He sometimes acted like a child, but he was also the closest to Chris.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was why we were also close, and he didn't try to talkout of my decisions. All he did was askwhat I thought and toldwhat I needed to know.
"You really are unforgiving when it comes to pissing people off, Maddie!" Derick called out from behind me.
I turned around. "What?" "I can't believe you liked his story! What a queen!" he said, givinganother thumbs-up.
I smiled mildly. "He posted it forto see. I have to let him know I saw it." While eating, Kara tried to dig for gossip. "Ms. Crown, is that the person Mr. Gildon sent to get you on his side?"
"No. He's just here for a random chat. Don't think too much about it. Even if the president himself came, he wouldn't be able to help Chris' case," I said, causing Kara to sigh. "You're really good at cutting off ties, Ms. Crown. I would have given in," Kara said. Chapter 61 3/3
"Everyone's different. We all have things we're good at," I said as Im poked at my meall had no appetite and was even beginning to feel a little bit nauseous. At that very moment, my phone rang with a call from Mr. Lachy. He said the lighting technician was here.
I asked Mr. Lachy to bring the lighting technician in before forcing som food down my throat. Eventhough I wasn't hungry at all, I knew I would need to energy to run around the amusement park while working later. However, Mr. Lachy entered with the lighting engineer before I was done with my food. I looked up and froze X
