Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 797 - : Too Embarrassed to Say

Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Too Embarrassed to Say

Seeing other kids with their moms, he didn’t feel envious.

Because Cindy Clarke was with him.

He envied the kids who were playing with their dads.

Today, that wish finally came true.

He had both his mom and dad with him.

Adrian Zhekova just instructed him not to skate too far away, which touched the little guy deeply.

Adrian then reached out a hand to Cindy: “Come, hold my hand, and I’ll guide you.”

He extended both of his hands to her, but she only dared to let go of one.

The other hand still gripped the rail, not daring to relax at all.

Always unconsciously gripping the rail, her fingers were stiff and sore from the strain.

She placed her left hand in Adrian’s palm first.

Immediately, it was tightly gripped by Adrian.

Feeling the strength of his palm, it was incredibly reassuring.

His hand held onto her, solid as a rock.

No matter how hard she pulled, his hand didn’t move a bit.

He held on to her like that, protecting her.

This made Cindy feel at ease.

Cindy took a deep breath, finally letting go of the rail with her right hand.

Her left hand was held tightly by Adrian.

As she let go with her right hand, she lost a bit of balance.

Her feet slightly slid back and forth out of control.

“Don’t worry.” Adrian held her hand, “I’ve got you; you won’t fall.”

Cindy nodded and quickly placed her right hand in Adrian’s palm too.

“First, practice balance, don’t be afraid.” Adrian said, “Bend your knees slightly, it’ll be more stable, and it’s less likely to hurt your knees.”

“Then lean your body slightly forward to maintain balance. When you slide, it’s less likely to fall backward.” Adrian advised.

Cindy nodded and followed Adrian’s instructions.

Because she was nervous, her body and movements were very stiff.

“Relax, it’s okay, I’m holding you.” Adrian had endless patience with Cindy.

Adrian drew, while gradually moving backward little by little.

Cindy followed, moving forward.

“Try lifting one foot, like a normal step.” Adrian said softly, “Don’t slide both feet on the ice; it’ll be harder to maintain balance.”

“At first, you might not dare to lift your foot too high, so just try a little bit.” Adrian suggested.

Because Adrian supported her so steadily, Cindy gradually let her guard down.

Feeling supported by Adrian was much more reassuring than holding onto the railing herself.

She tried to lift her right foot, indeed not daring to raise it too high.

But since Adrian was supporting her, and even though her movements weren’t perfect, they were still acceptable.

Unexpectedly, Adrian led her to slide a little forward.

Unlike before when both her feet were tightly pressed to the ice, wobbling as she moved forward.

Earlier, she couldn’t even call that sliding; she was just being dragged along by Adrian.

Now, she finally started to get the hang of sliding forward on her own.

Moreover, it wasn’t as hard to maintain balance as she’d thought.

“Come, as your right foot lands, try lifting your left foot higher, like walking, and lift it front and back.”

“As your right foot lands, make a backward pushing motion with your left foot.” Adrian said.

This time, Cindy boldly lifted her left foot higher as her right foot landed.

Though her skating wasn’t as skillful as others, she had at least grasped some basics.

Adrian, smiling, led Cindy in a lap around the Ice Rink.

The little guy dutifully followed along.

Cindy was slow, and he skated slowly too.

After completing a lap, Adrian asked, “I’ll let go of one hand, and together we’ll skate another lap, holding hands?”

“Yes.” Cindy felt she was able to.

So she held hands with Adrian and slowly skated forward again.

For the first half-lap, Cindy was still nervously gripping Adrian’s hand.

But during the second half, she unconsciously began to relax.

Her grip on Adrian’s hand wasn’t as tight anymore.

The strength in her hand had become natural.

Although her skating wasn’t perfect yet, it was much better than when she first started and was extremely nervous.

Cindy was gradually able to let go and move more smoothly.

Adrian then led Cindy for two more laps.

“Let go of me, and I’ll try to skate a lap myself.” Cindy said, “I think I can do it now.”

Adrian let go, allowing Cindy to skate on her own.

But he still stayed close by her side.

Just in case Cindy was going to fall, he could provide protection in time.

Also, with many people in the Ice Rink now, it wasn’t easy for a beginner like Cindy to avoid others.

Adrian could help shield her.

After skating five more laps like this, Cindy felt more and more skillful.

Just a bit tired.

Though ice skating might seem less exhausting than running, as it’s just sliding forward, it actually requires constant leg-lifting, added to the weight of the ice skates, which are quite heavy.

After skating those laps, Cindy was somewhat tired.

Cindy told Adrian, “I’ll go out and sit for a while, then come back to skate.”

Having just learned, she was both excited and intrigued.

If it wasn’t for her lack of stamina, she wouldn’t have gone to rest.

“Alright.” Adrian nodded.

It was already impressive for a beginner like Cindy to skate so many laps.

If she got too exhausted, the muscles in her legs would be sore later, and she’d be the one suffering.

Now, Cindy’s skating wasn’t bad.

Adrian watched her skate to the entrance, then leave the Ice Rink.

She sat outside on a long bench where she could still see Adrian and the little guy.

Aside from being tired, Cindy also wanted to give Adrian and the little guy some time together.

This was Adrian’s first time ice skating with him.

Cindy didn’t want to monopolize all the time.

So, seeing Cindy sitting there with nothing else to do, Adrian finally returned.

Quite a few guests came as well, changing into their ice skates and entering the Ice Rink.

During holidays, business at the Ice Rink was indeed excellent.

Those who came, aside from parents bringing their children, were all young people.

Adrian and the little guy skated for a while.

Then the little guy said to Adrian, “I don’t know if Cindy has rested enough yet.”

The little guy didn’t have the heart to say he was tired of playing with Adrian.

He wanted to play with Cindy.

Also, because Cindy didn’t know how to skate before, he hadn’t had the chance to skate with her yet.

Finally given the opportunity today, the little guy wanted Cindy to come back in.

Adrian smiled and said, “Let’s go see if she’s rested yet.”

The little guy couldn’t wait and skated out first.

He led the way, while Adrian leisurely skated behind.

However, Adrian didn’t dare to get too close to him.

Fearing an accident caused by someone bumping into them, it might inadvertently affect the little guy.
