Chapter 1056:
Even in the rush of car racing, she could keep her pulse level, calmer than most. But standing before Dylan, her heart betrayed her, racing faster the more she tried to rein it in.
Because she stopped him in time, Dylan didn’t manage to lift his shirt.
Still, the vivid image of him doing so, inviting her to touch, etched itself clearly into her mind. It replayed again and again, stubborn and undeniable.
“Chrissie, don’t you like them?”.
Dylan’s expression crumpled into disappointment, tinged with sadness.
“Of course, I like them. How could I not like them?”.
Christina soothed him gently. Inwardly, she screamed. Ah, this man! Did he even realize how dangerously irresistible he was?
“If you like them, then go on and touch as you like,”.
Dylan urged, his eyes glimmering with expectation.
Christina kept restraining his hand and brushed her hand quickly over his abs through the thin fabric. “There.”.
She withdrew her hand at once and coaxed,
“Now let’s go have breakfast.”
“Okay!”.
Dylan answered eagerly, obedient as ever.
He looked completely satisfied just from that fleeting touch, leaving Christina sighing to herself. She always felt that Dylan, in his current state, was like a trusting child—far too vulnerable. He had nearly fallen into Robin’s trap not long ago.
After a brief pause, she reminded him softly, “You must be careful about who you let get that close, alright?”
Dylan appeared not to fully grasp what Christina meant, but he nodded firmly.
“Okay!”.
A second later, as if struck by a sudden thought, he quickly added, “But Chrissie, you’re the exception!”

Christina burst into laughter. She gently took his hand and replied warmly, “Alright.”
She didn’t even realize how natural it had become for her to hold Dylan’s hand. After breakfast, they lingered in the living room for a while.
Thinking he might get restless, Christina suggested they go out for fun—but on one condition: no impulsive shopping.
Dylan agreed at once, and Christina led him out for a day of play.
Their first stop was the amusement park, filled with rides and laughter all around.
If not for Dylan’s current state, she would never have thought of bringing him here. She bet the previous version of him would have found such places childish. Besides, she couldn’t imagine a business giant like him playing in an amusement park. But now, things were different. He had slipped back into boyhood, with a child’s mind and innocence.
When they reached the roller coaster, Dylan’s fingers tightened around Christina’s hand, and he stepped back.
“What’s wrong?”.
Christina asked with concern.
“Chrissie, I’m scared,”.
he whispered.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll ride with you,”.
she reassured him, holding his hand tighter.
