Chapter 172 Are You Happy

Eileen pondered and realized it was true. She hadn’t expected to buy so much. After a brief consideration, she decided not to buy more. She would eat what she had first.

She didn’t have much self-control when it came to shopping.

In the crowd, Eileen felt an intense gaze aimed at her. When she subconsciously looked across the street, there was nothing there. She must have been mistaken.

They left the market. Unfortunately, they didn’t get to explore everything.

It was getting late, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Firecrackers echoed one after another as families celebrated the New Year.

Originally. Eileen planned to rush back home, but deep down, she didn’t want to.

They sat outside a closed coffee shop in the park, finishing the remaining food and watching the fireworks in the sky.

“Happy New Year. Elm!” She turned to the young man across from her. He was watching the fireworks solemnly, the dazzling colors reflecting in his eyes.

Hearing her voice, Elm also turned his head to look at her. “Happy New Year.”

“I should get going!”

“I’ll take you home.”

Eileen smiled and declined, “No need, I’ll take a taxi home later. You should hurry home too! Don’t miss the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

New Year’s Eve dinner?

For him, every New Year was the same. It didn’t hold much significance.

“Let’s go.”

The two of them cleaned up the trash on the table and walked out of the park.

Suddenly, Elm spoke. “Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out we spent the day together?”

Eileen replied calmly, “You mean Jasper? Even if he knows, why should I be afraid?”
