?<strong>Chapter 983:</strong>


    As the day went on, Louise began to appreciate the amusement park’s allure. Once she grew weary, she settled on a bench and said, “I’m hungry. I’d love some tasty food.”


    Elyse paused to think, then pointed to a nearby shop. “How about we head over there? They offer abo of a burger, fries, and a soda.”


    Louise looked unimpressed. “No, those are too rich in calories. I’d rather not have them.”


    Elyse gulped slightly. “But having them might cheer you up.”


    Noticing Elyse’s hopeful expression, Louise raised an eyebrow and hesitated briefly before conceding, “Alright. Let’s go have that.”


    Elyse was mildly taken aback. She had braced herself for a possible parting with Louise at this point but did not anticipate her agreement to share a high-calorie meal.


    At the fast-food joint, Elyse ced an order for two ssicbos.


    As they ate, Elyse watched as Louise’s eyes sparkled while she devoured her burger. The delight on Louise’s face clearly indicated her fondness for fast food, leading Elyse to wonder why she had initially imed to dislike it.


    After their meal, each holding a cup of iced soda, they meandered through the amusement park.


    Their stroll eventually took them to a quieter part of the park.


    Suddenly, Louise halted Elyse, her eyes clouded with suspicion. “Hold on. Something is off.”


    Elyse, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong?”


    Louise scanned the surroundings cautiously and said, “We’re being followed.” She sensed the presence of more than one follower.


    Just as Elyse was about to inquire how Louise was so sure, a group of imposing men stepped out from the shadows.


    Louise murmured to herself, “Are they here for me? It doesn’t seem so.”


    Only when the men lunged towards Elyse did Louise realize they were targeting herpanion. “Catch these criminals!” she ordered, and bodyguards in dark suits appeared from another direction.


    A skirmish ensued between the two factions. Louise instinctively drew Elyse backward and questioned, “How does a violinist like you attract such foes?”


    After a brief pause, Elyse exhaled deeply. “I’m sorry; they’re here for me. I should have headed straight home.”
