Chapter 625

Thomas was wearing a white shirt and trousers underneath a long trench coat.

His figure stood tall and straight.

When he saw Sylvia, he smiled in delight at her.

Sylvia returned the smile and greeted him, “Hey, let's

go.”

“Alright.”

Sylvia walked out of the living room with him and they both got into a white car.

The car drove out of the district as they headed for the nearby cinema.

There were not many people at this cinema, partially because this was a rather remote and sparsely populated area to begin with.

Sylvia and Thomas were the only ones in the theater for this particular showing.

They chose the most ideal seat for the best viewing angle, then they sat together and watched a very newly released romance film.

The story was pretty wholesome until an unexpected twist happened nearing the end of the story. It turned out that all of the wholesome scenes they had seen up until this point had merely been the fantasies inside the head of the male protagonist. The romantic interest of the protagonist had passed away from an accident long ago and before her passing, the protagonist had been unjustifiably cruel to her.

A piece of sad and somber background music began playing as the tone of the movie took on a depressing turn.

It was a touching and sad movie, and Sylvia could not help but relate her experiences with the story itself. Her eyes began to water against her will.

She tried to use a piece of tissue paper to wipe away her tears.

Thomas swiftly extended his hand in front of her as he held a piece of tissue paper in between his slender and delicate fingers. Sylvia was suddenly filled with embarrassment.

Had he seen her cry?

She quickly accepted the tissue paper and wiped her nose while remarking nonchalantly at the same time, “It's pretty cold in here.” She was trying to insinuate that it was the cold that had gotten to her, not the movie.

Thomas noticed her red and puffy eyes as he looked at her, but he echoed the same sentiment by saying, “Yeah, it's a little cold.”

The movie ended.

Sylvia and Thomas stood up at the same time.

Before she could even take a step, he took his coat off and draped it over her shoulders. Immediately afterward, he deftly wiped the corners of her eyes with his hand. His warm fingertips ran across the corners of her eyes which were swelling with tears, and she instantly felt a strange sense of comfort wash over her.

She was taken aback by this gesture.

Thomas looked down at her and smiled faintly, “Your eyes are all red from the cold. Hurry up and put on the

coat.”

He was obviously teasing her.

Sylvia playfully swatted at him but as she pulled her hand away, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. She froze, and her first instinct was to jerk her hand back again.

Looks were definitely deceiving and Thomas was much stronger than his gentle appearance suggested.

Sylvia could not pull her arm away as he was clenching her wrist tightly.

Feeling discomfited, she looked at him and said, “ Thomas, 1-"

“Let's go have some supper,” He interrupted her.

With that, he led her outside.

Sylvia darted a glance at his hand that was still holding onto hers and pursed her lips.

She supposed that it was no big deal. Since she already agreed to let him pursue her anyway, there was nothing wrong with holding hands. Not feeling bothered any more, the two walked out of the cinema hand in hand. They ate supper at a nearby restaurant and only returned around midnight. The car stopped outside the house.

Thomas was still holding Sylvia's hand as they stepped out of the car.

She gently shook her hand that was still entangled with his to remind him that he was still holding on to her.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly strengthened his grip on her hand.

With a swift “thump’, Sylvia found herself in his embrace,

with her face pressed against his chest. She could feel his beating heart as she was pressed against his warm body. That was when he suddenly said, “Goodnight.” With that, he let go of her.

The pink shade glowing on his fair cheeks made him look every bit like a teenager who had just the first taste of love and was feeling shy. Sylvia smiled upon seeing this and said, “Goodnight.”
