Crystal’s POV:
I looked up and noticed that Rufus’ eyes were clear. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. I looked around past his outstretched arm and noticed that the atmosphere in the amusement park had suddenly become eerie. We were surrounded by people wearing a variety of clown masks Two people who brushed past us had on green masks. The staff guarding the path were all wearing blue and pink masks.
I warily watched them and wondered if it was just my imagination, but the black eyes behind their masks seemed to stare at us with malice, making me break out into a cold sweat.

My expression froze, my eyes widened, and my guard went up. Rufus leaned towards me. lowered his shoulder, and whispered, “Don’t be scared. Relax and act natural.”
“Okay.” As I whispered back, I looked past his shoulder and noticed the ice cream vendor nearby shooting us glances from time to time.
Suddenly, I felt something soft touch my forehead My eyes flew up in surprise and I saw Rufus straightening with a grin and winking at me.
I was exhilarated by his smile and I stupidly returned it. Instantly forgetting about everything else.
Although Rufus had lost his memory, he seemed to instinctively retain the little acts we did together. Whenever I was anxious, he would peck me on my forehead like that to help me relax.
“Honey, don’t be angry. Have a bite,” his deep gentle voice said beside me.
My insides warmed and I nodded, lifting my head to take a bite of the ice cream he was holding out, trying to conceal my emotions.
The ice cream was sickly sweet, and I quickly swallowed it. I felt a slight tickle in my nose, and when I looked up. I saw Rufus smiling at me crookedly with raised eyebrows. “Good girl.”
I hummed softly and retorted, “Never do that again.”
He grinned and watched me indulgently.
“Of course, I promise I will never make you unhappy again,” he said seriously, gazing deeply into my eyes. Despite knowing that we were just pretending. I almost fell for his sincerity. Then. I recalled that he had said he was going to marry someone else.
I couldn’t restrain myself and almost revealed my anger. But I quickly dropped my gaze to the ground and smiled self- deprecatingly. I was not qualified to feel jealous anymore.
After readjusting my mental state, I grinned at him and said, “This ice cream is absolutely delicious. You should try it too.”
I gestured for him to eat his own, but he took a bite from my ice cream and peered al me with a smile. His longue darted out and licked his rosy, sexy lips. “Yeah, it’s very sweet.”
I blushed and snatched the ice cream from his hand.
I turned my head, not wanting Rufus to see the obvious emotional shift in my eyes. My face was burning as if it had been blasted with hot air
“If only you could be so nice every day, I would love to keep you by my side all the time,” Rufus joked from beside me My head immediately jerked up and I shot him a glare, which he returned with a playful
smile.
That was when I realized he had tricked me again. Despite Rufus’ antics, my stress levels plunged. I glanced around casually and noticed that the stares from before seemed to have dispersed.
It was as if everything I had seen was just my illusion, manufactured by my nervousness.
