Chapter 457
Rosalie hadn’t seen Lucas for a few days. She thought he had figured it out, but at that moment, shecould sense from the way he looked at her as if he hadn’t given her up.
“I’m not free today. I’m going to pick up a child. I’ve promised to go to the amusement park with himtoday. The clue you are talking about…” Rosalie was put in a dilemma.
After all, she did not want to break her promise to Aiden nor wanted to see his disappointedexpression, but that clue was about work.
Besides, they would have more possibilities to ask for compensation for Larry with more clues.
Recalling Larry in a coma on the hospital bed, Rosalie genuinely wanted to help that young man andhis family.
“Then I’ll send you to pick up the child so that I can tell you about it on the way,” Lucas said.
Rosalie pondered for a while and decided to get into Lucas’ car since she thought it would not clashwith her upcoming date.
On the way, Lucas was driving while talking about the details he remembered carefully.
At that time, his car was behind Larry’s vehicle, so he was the first to witness the collision and the twopeople who got out of the car. However, the detail was that the two were getting out of it from the doorson the side of the driver’s seat.
Rosalie was shocked.
When she read through the investigation report from the police, it clearly stated that there were twopeople, one sitting in the driver’s seat and one in the passenger seat.
She analyzed inwardly, “If they came out from one direction at the same time, one should be from adriver’s seat and another from a back seat. Of course, there’s another possibility. That’s… It waspossible that the driver and passenger deliberately switched their identities.”
“Are you sure?” Rosalie asked.
“Should be correct. It’s just that at that time, the police didn’t ask, and I didn’t say anything. Then, whenI saw someone get out of the car, I suddenly thought of this detail again. I felt strange, so I came toyou,” Lucas said.
Rosalie pondered and got through the records of the case in her mind. She mused, “There were nosurveillance cameras at the scene, so everything was concluded based on the situation at that timeand the testimony of witnesses. And what Lucas said now might be enough to overturn the previouspolice investigation report.”
At that moment, they had arrived at Aiden’s side. The little boy and Matilda were already standing bythe intersection, waiting for them.
As soon as Aiden saw Rosalie, he smiled happily. But then he turned to look at Lucas, who stoodbeside Rosalie, curiously and asked in a childlike voice, “Does he go to the amusement park with us?”
Before Rosalie could answer, Lucas leaned down and asked Aiden, “So, can I go to the amusementpark with you?”
Aiden blinked while looking at the seemingly honest man before him and then nodded.
Lucas showed a relieved expression..
Then, Rosalie saw Lucas smiling at her shyly again.
“Can I? I can be your driver today, and when we have spare time… we can talk about the case again…In truth, I haven’t been to an amusement park for a long time, and I miss it.”
Looking at Lucas and the excited Aiden at the side, Rosalie felt bad for rejecting him in front of thechild, so she nodded, agreeing.
Thus, the three of them went to the amusement park together. On their way, Lucas took the initiative totalk with Aiden.
Unexpectedly, Aiden was not shy with Lucas, particularly when Lucas talked about the little toys that heplayed with during childhood, which made Aiden’s eyes brighten. He even asked Lucas excitedly aboutthe specific details of the toys of that era that he had never heard of before.
When they arrived at the amusement park, they went to buy tickets at the ticket counter.
Aiden looked at a little girl sitting on her father’s shoulder in the queue at the counter next to them,looking around adorably.
Rosalie noticed that Aiden had been looking at the little girl and her father.
She knew that Aiden had grown up with Amelia and Matilda since birth and only met his biologicalfather, Warren, once. In his view, he did not have a father.
He had never experienced such a father’s act of lifting his child high and riding on the shoulder.
That was why Aiden looked at that girl with envy.
Rosalie was wondering if she should buy something to distract Aiden. The next moment, Lucas bentdown and said, “Here, how about I lift you high and ride on my shoulder?”
Then he lifted Aiden and let him ride on his shoulder.
Rosalie looked at Lucas’ actions in a slight stun. She mused, “He’s actually more thoughtful than Ithought. He noticed Aiden’s envy for the little girl, so he let Aiden ride on his shoulder like this.”
“Rosalie, I’m high up here!” Aiden’s excited voice sounded, and Rosalie’s gaze landed on his happylittle face.
She suddenly thought, “It seems to be a good choice to come to the amusement park with Lucas andAiden today.”novelbin
The day at the amusement park, Aiden had a good time. After sunset, Lucas drove while Aiden fellasleep in Rosalie’s arms.
“Thank you for today,” Rosalie said. That day, Lucas was like a temporary replacement for the role offather. Some games that a child should be played with a father, and he would play with Aiden.
T
Aiden also had a great time in the amusement park.
She mused, “Perhaps, in children’s growth, especially boys, a father’s existence is indeed important tothem. It’s just…” Rosalie sighed unconsciously when she thought of the relationship between Warrenand Amelia.
“I’m also very happy today. Thank you for allowing me to go with you guys,” Lucas replied with a smile.
Rosalie bit her lip slightly and said, “Well… I made it clear to you last time. I have-”
“I know!” Lucas hurriedly interrupted Rosalie. He added, “I know you’re not interested in me. Don’tworry. I won’t do anything that crosses the boundary. But, at least for now… I don’t want to change my
mind that I like you.”
“We’ll have no future together.” Rosalie sighed. She knew Lucas was a good man, so she did not wanthim to waste his time on her.
“How do you know we’ll have no future if you haven’t tried?” Lucas smiled shyly, but there was a rarepersistence in his smile. “You don’t have to give me any response. If you meet someone you like oneday, I’ll also send you my blessing.”
