Chapter 239
Chapter 239
It was the beginning of October and summer had quietly passed, but the afternoon sun was still bright and dazzling. If it wasn't for the coolness of the mountain breeze blowing on their coats, people would think that it was summer.
After crossing the mountain and up the dale, Christopher stopped the car in the shade. Everleigh followed him and got out of the car. She put her hand on her brow and shielded her eyes. Looking at the racing cars of varied colors in the distance, she asked, "What have you got up your sleeve?"
"I'm taking you for a ride. Don't you always say that I don't look like a rich kid?"
"Are you kidding me?" Everleigh couldn't believe it. "Stop fooling around. It's very dangerous." Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
She was the daughter of the Trevino family, and she had been in touch with a group of rowdy celebrities in Ocpeace City since she was a child. In addition to nightclubs, this group of playboys liked racing the most. It seemed that anyone who didn't do this failed to fit the identity of a rich kid.
However, racing was not something that could be done by just anybody. The risks they were taking were extremely high, especially on the winding mountain road. The smallest mistake could end in death.
Christopher had always been a timid person. Indeed, Everleigh did not expect him to race as a hobby.
"You're lying, aren't you?"
"Of course not. I'm already here, so do you think I brought you here just to watch?" As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a racing suit walked towards him and threw his helmet directly at him.
"You're finally here. I thought the rumor was fake. How many years has it been since you last raced?"
The man in front of her had heavyset facial features and a straight nose, and he seemed to be of mixed race. The bangs on his forehead fell casually, like those male movie stars.
Christopher took the helmet easily and said to Everleigh, "Let me introduce to you. This is Jack, my buddy. He's also the president of the racing club."
She nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Everleigh."
Christopher had a lot of friends in Ocpeace City. The one who helped Everleigh buy a car previously was his friend whom he grew up with. Looking from afar, he was among the race drivers on scene.
Men had two favorite things. One was cars and the other was women. Miraculously, these two things often appeared at the same time. At this time, there were many beautiful women in this area. Their skirts were very short, so who would believe that they were there to watch the race?
As soon as Christopher arrived, he was pulled aside by Jack to talk to the crowd, and Everleigh had to stand there and wait for him.
A woman's voice came from behind. "Are you Mr. Meyer's girlfriend?"
Everleigh turned around and saw a woman in a leopard-print skirt standing behind her. She had long wavy hair draped over her shoulder. Her leather jacket was beautiful and bright. She smiled kindly and said, "My name is Lynn."
"Everleigh." She nodded to greet her.
Lynn was a friendly person. She walked over to her side and patted the white race car. She looked into the distance and said, "The last time I saw Mr. Meyer's car at the racing stadium was eight years ago."
"Eight years ago?" Everleigh was stunned.
Christopher was one year older than her. Eight years ago, he had just started to study abroad.
Lynn said, "Since that incident, he never raced again. Originally, everyone thought that he would be the champion of the youth group and have a bright future in the international racing league that year."
Everleigh frowned and said, "He's a doctor. This is just a side hobby at most."
"A side hobby?" Lynn looked stunned and gave her a meaningful look. "If it wasn't for that incident Mr. Meyer wouldn't be a doctor. He..."
"Everleigh." Christopher's voice came from afar and interrupted Lynn.
She looked up and saw him coming over.
"What are you talking about?" As soon as he came over, he asked the question. Although he still looked casual, there was a hint of inaudible vigilance in his tone.
Lynn said, "Nothing, we're just saying hello. It's been so many years. It's the first time that I've seen you bringing someone to the racing stadium, Mr. Meyer. We're all very curious."
"What's there to be curious about? You've never seen a person before?"
It was obvious that Christopher had no intention to let Everleigh interact with Lynn alone. After a few simple greetings, he directly ushered her into his racing car and handed her a helmet under the cheering of the crowd.
As she held her helmet, Everleigh asked with hesitation, "I didn't hear you mention that you raced before."
"I haven't raced for several years, and you haven't asked me before either." Christopher helped her put on her helmet, adjusted the strap and fastened her seat belt. "Okay, 111 take you for a ride."
Upon finishing his words, he walked around the car and sat in the driver's seat.
"Don't worry, I won't drive too fast."
Christopher turned his head and said that before he started the car.
Then, Everleigh nodded and thought his words to be true. However, in the next second, the car sped up like a flash of lightning on the empty plain. The feeling of speeding so close to the ground made Everleigh's heartbeat pick up, and she only heard the sound of the wind whipping in her ears. At the same time, she was so afraid that she couldn't even manage a scream.
The speeding car seemed to be one with the swift wind. As her heart beat wildly, Everleigh looked sideways at the figure at the steering wheel. What she found was that Christopher was totally different from what he used to be.
At this moment, she suddenly believed what Lynn said just now.
If it wasn't for some accident, Christopher might have become an excellent racer, not a doctor.
It was undeniable that he also loved the profession of a doctor. However, when he was a doctor, Everleigh had never seen the light in his eyes like at this moment. Passion and enthusiasm lit up in his eyes like a raging furnace.
After some time, the car slowed down and the sound of the wind was getting weaker. Finally, the car stopped on the hillside. Everleigh's eyes looked over the entire Ocpeace City through the windshield.
Then, Christopher took off his helmet and turned to look at her with enthusiasm in his eyes. He asked with a smile, "Was that cool? Isn't it more exciting than riding a roller coaster?"
Everleigh's face was still a little pale, and she said with lingering fear on her face, "Did you take me here to relieve my stress, or are you trying to kill me?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Christopher turned over and jumped out of the car. "Get out of the car and have a look. The scenery here is good."
She got out of the car and followed. Looking at his figure, she couldn't help but ask, "Christopher, did you like racing previously?"
"Yeah, I liked it very much." He did not deny it.
"Then why did you stop?"
"I got older, I guess." He glanced at her with a smile in his almond-shaped eyes. "This thing is what the youth like to do. It's exciting and extreme sports are all like this, aren't they? However, it's extremely difficult to become a professional in one of the sports. You retire early as well."
Looking at his nonchalant expression, Everleigh felt that he was hiding something, so she simply asked, "What happened eight years ago?"
Christopher's smile froze at the corner of his mouth almost instantly.
