Alexander bought VIP tickets, allowing them to bypass the queues and enter directly.
Wonderland Whirlwind Park was vast, with not only thrilling rides but also many beautiful sights. Due to Alexander's injury, they skipped the exciting rides and visited the scenic spots instead.
The first stop was a flower garden, which required a ride on a scenic bus. They boarded, taking the last two available seats.
To their surprise, the other passengers were not young people but a group of elderly tourists. Across from them sat an elderly couple, their heads full of white hair. Despite their advanced age, they held hands tightly. Seeing the happiness radiating from the elderly couple's faces, Quinn subconsciously tightened her grip on Alexander's hand.
Alexander didn't pull away but instead placed Quinn's hand in his, gently caressing it with his fingertips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe elderly lady, noticing Alexander and Quinn, couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are you two a married or just dating?" Quinn was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.
For Quinn, the term 'married' seemed too distant, and as for 'dating,' Quinn didn't quite understand the definition yet. Alexander glanced at the elderly lady across from them, who wore a curious smile on her face.
Alexander fell silent for a moment before speaking. "We're siblings." Quinn didn't react much, acknowledging the relationship even though she didn't like it.
The older woman offered a kind smile, her gaze on Alexander reflecting an understanding that belied her words.
"Siblings? It doesn't quite look like that." Alexander pursed his lips, not responding.
Quinn was eager to chat with the old lady, but since she couldn't speak, she simply shook Alexander's hand, silently wishing he'd translate for her.
Quinn gestured for a while, but when Alexander didn't react, Quinn turned her head and looked at Alexander expectantly.
After a long silence, Alexander finally spoke, "Are you two married?" Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! At this, both older adults chuckled.
The old man said, "Do we even need to say it? At our age, can we still be siblings?" Ignoring his teasing, Alexander continued translating for Quinn. "You're still traveling at this age." Quinn shot him a puzzled look. Alexander's translation was spot on, but his tone was overly rigid, almost like he was cross-examining a suspect.
The older man, however, appeared unaffected. He cast a tender glance at the elderly woman beside him. It was quite remarkable, given their age, that they could still find such profound love in each other's gaze.
He then remarked, "Indeed, in our youth, we didn't truly appreciate life. But now, in our older years, we've cto realize how swiftly tpasses, leaving us with less and less of it." The older man spoke quite elegantly, clearly cultured.
He added, "We've made plans. First, we'll travel within our own country and visit all the places we've always wanted to see. Then, we'll venture abroad and explore the world. Wherever we find ourselves, that's home." As the elderly man spoke, he glanced at Alexander and smiled, "Life is short. We can't afford regrets."

Alexander asked, "Aren't your children worried?"

For those in love, tseemed to be short. For those who were not in love, days and nights seemed eternity. Alexander's eyes flickered, and he fell silent, no longer speaking or translating for Quinn.
Quinn looked at them with envy.
Envious of how they had walked through life together and still tooked at each other with such intense love as if it were their first meeting. Quinn also wanted to be like that with Alexander.
To hold Quinn's hand like this when they were both old and gray.
