Chapter 210: Once had Chapter 210: Once had Victoria Garcia silently looked at the inside of Cetery Park while Arnold Johnson held her and walked with her.
Soon, they were back in the car and he drove her away from the place.
Seeing Victoria being quiet the entire ti, Arnold knew she was still upset about her mother.
“I heard you’re pretty good at squash,” Arnold changed the topic.
Victoria mumbled, “I haven’t played for a long ti.”
“Why?” Arnold thought sports was the best way to adjust one’s mood.
“My grandpa loved squash. When he was alive, he used to play with . I didn’t have much strength back then, so playing squash felt like going to war. It was so tiring.”
Victoria recalled the days when her grandpa was alive. Those were happy tis.
However, so happiness was real, while so were just an illusion.
“Well, let test your strength now.”
“I’m not in the mood for squash today. Can we play so other ti?” Victoria truly wasn’t in the mood.
On the other hand, Arnold enthusiastically said to her, “Just give it a try. If you don’t like it, we can go ho. Consider it a distraction for , okay?”
Seeing Arnold’s pleading eyes, Victoria couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
“Fine, I’ll take a nap for a while. Wake up when we get there!” Victoria’s answer was a silent consent.
Arnold stepped on the accelerator, and the car speeded up instantly, but it was still smooth inside.
Victoria closed her eyes, but she couldn’t sleep at all. Images of her mother, as well as Jonathan Carter’s unkempt appearance, kept appearing in her mind.
Such a beautiful mother, only to et with jerks.
The more she thought about these ssy things, the more uncomfortable her head beca, and her nerves were close to breaking point.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Arnold’s car to co to a stop.
“We’re here. Let’s get off!”
Only then did Victoria notice that her clothes were not suitable for playing squash. She waved her hand at Arnold and said, “I didn’t bring my clothes.”
Arnold appeared to be well prepared and said, “No worries. I called the people at the fitness center in advance to prepare your clothes.”
“…”
She didn’t hear him make a call in the car, which ant that he had planned to bring her to play squash before this.
In other words, it wasn’t that he needed her to accompany him, but rather, he wanted to help her relieve her depression through playing squash with him.
When did he co up with this idea? Was it when she left that house in the alley, or when they t with Jonathan Carter?
“Let’s go! I can’t wait to see your skills,” said Arnold as he held her hand and walked towards the fitness center entrance.
Victoria followed him to the squash court, and then they changed into their respective clothes and shoes.
The sportswear and shoes fit well, which ant that Arnold had a good understanding of her size and shoe size.
From then on, their conversation was all about playing squash.
Throughout the room, the sound of squash balls hitting the wall and heavy breathing beca constant.
Victoria felt like a horse running on the grassland, continually moving around, afraid to miss a single ball.
From being a little rusty at the beginning to becoming skilled later on, she put her heart and efforts into hitting every ball. At tis, she found that she and Arnold made a decent team, at least in squash.
Not knowing how long they played, by the end, Victoria was so tired that she felt like floating above the ground, with her feet barely touching the floor.
