Chapter 645: Chapter 645: The Magician in the Crowd
By the time Camila Walker came downstairs again, fifteen minutes had already passed. At this time, it was already 8 PM.
The family came out merrily and arrived at the center of a plaza in E city.
Right after getting out of the car, Emily Walker genuinely felt that the scene before her was strikingly stunning. So, this is how lively Christmas Eve could be.
At this time, in the center of the plaza, a wishing tree decorated with colored lights formed a beautiful scene, surrounded by a bustling crowd.
Emily Walker carefully observed and found that everyone was holding ribbons of various colors, each making a prayer-like gesture every time they tied a ribbon to the wishing tree.
Baxter Walker and Angela Reid also got out of the car with several ribbons in their hands.
“Camila, why don’t you take Emily and go have some fun around here?” Angela Reid suggested. She knew that she, who comes here every year, was quite familiar with the surroundings.
Camila looked at her mother then glanced at Emily next to her.
On the surface, she apparently didn’t seem very willing, but verbally agreed.
“Okay.” After responding, Camila turned around, preparing to take Emily to the more crowded areas.
Very few people knew about this Christmas Eve event. Since most people spend most of their time at home, they were completely unaware of these outdoor activities.
Camila turned around and noticed that the person behind her didn’t seem to catch up. So she turned her head back to see Emily who was still marveling at the beautiful display of lights not too far away.
Emily was so entranced that she was surprised to feel a tug on her arm–
She turned around a bit surprised to find that it was Camila pulling her to another direction.
She couldn’t help but look back at her parents who were still behind, heading towards the wishing tree.
“Hey Camila, where are you dragging me to?”
Emily turned her head and looked at the silent Camila, asking.
No matter how she asked, Camila just wouldn’t reply. She just continued to lead her forward.
Before long, they stopped at an exceedingly lively place.
In the crowd, there were people who were dancing in joy, and some were performing magic tricks.
Camila released her grip and casually said, “I’m going to go have fun, you can see what you want to do.”
Having said that, Camila gradually entered the dancing crowd, leaving a stunned Emily behind.
Everything around her was so splendid and joyous that even Emily was quickly drawn in.
So, Christmas Eve could also be celebrated this lively.
Just as Emily was watching the crowd singing and dancing, suddenly, a hand wearing a white glove reached out in front of her eyes, startling her.
Before she could regain her composure, the owner of the hand popped out from behind her and instantaneously appeared before her eyes.
“Beautiful lady, here’s a Christmas Eve gift for you?”
Emily was taken aback. From his voice, she could tell he was a man.
Dressed up in a professional magician’s costume, it looked like he was going to perform magic for her.
As expected, even before Emily’s thoughts had settled, a bloody red rose suddenly appeared out of thin air from that hand in front of her eyes.
All magic tricks are deceitful. Emily was very clear about this. However, at such a close encounter, she was still taken aback.
Where did he pull this rose from in that short blink of an eye?
While she was contemplating, the blood-red rose in front of her eyes suddenly disappeared, and a white one appeared in the blink of an eye.
