Unexpectedly, Charmine burst out laughing after she heard Chris’ rather mature point of view. “Momo, your attempt to make me fall i n love with your dad is too obvious. Did he teach you to say that?” she joshed.
“No, he didn’t! It’s real!” Chris used his doe eyes to distract Charmine so it would seem more believable.
Charmine, however, ruffled his hair and said, “I know you too well. I even know how many worms are in your tummy right now. You’re still so young! How could you say all that if your dad hadn’t taught you that?”
“Oh, but everything I said was true…!” insisted Chris with a pout. “Daddy really said that.”
Charmine could not resist reaching under his mask to playfully pinch his little face. ” Tell me the truth: How many girls have you said this to? How many women have your dad chased after?” she jokingly interrogated him.
“What’s this? Is someone interested in me now?”
A deep, husky voice was heard coming from right beside her. Charmine raised her gaze and saw Anthony standing all too close to her! Her tilting her head to look at him nearly implanted her face into his jaw.
When she inhaled, all she could smell was his clean, pleasant scent. Charmine instantly stumbled back a few steps and, with a glare, she blurted, “Who’d be interested in you? I’m just teasing the kid.”
Charmine then snatched the tickets from his hand and walked toward the Ferris wheel, all while she held onto Chris’ hand.
Anthony watched as she stomped away, his thin lips curled into a faint smile. He was in n o rush; the days ahead of them were long.
The amusement park was a famous luxury playground in Burlington, built to cater to the upper-class society. Only 500 families in the entire Burlington could enter this well-equipped park. Due to this reason, there were not many people queuing for the rides.
Chris cheered and danced excitedly as they approached the Ferris wheel. He clapped his chubby fists together while shouting, ” Daddy, Daddy, get here right now! We get to sit on the Ferris wheel! I’m so happy!”
Anthony quickly joined them at the counter for their tickets to be checked. The attendant respectfully opened the metal fence to let them enter the ride. Chris held onto Charmine in one hand and Anthony with the other as he bounced joyfully.
Charmine’s brows furrowed as she asked, ” Momo, why do you like Ferris wheels so much?”
`Wasn’t this something that only little girls .•. .,• _. liked?’ Charmine wondered. ‘It’s not even remotely interesting; you get to sit and only sit. What’s so exciting about it that Chris is this happy?’ 1
Chris cheerfully replied, “Of course I like the Ferris wheel. This is my first time at the amusement park and my first time on a Ferris wheel! Look at how pretty all the passenger cars are.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
`Pretty?’ thought Charmine as she assessed the Ferris wheel. It was completely surrounded by transparent tempered glass without a single decoration at all. A long blue leather bench was fixed on both sides of the passenger car.
Though the entire passenger car was pristine and high-end, ‘pretty’ was not a word suited for it. At that moment, the Ferris wheel began to slowly move upward, and Chris who had been cheering and
jumping around suddenly let out a big yawn. He lethargically sat on the seat beside him.
“It’s more fun to stand when you’re on a Ferris wheel,” said Charmine.
“Oh, I’ll watch it sitting down and stand up when it’s a little higher,” Chris replied.
Charmine frowned.
Chris was fine a moment ago, so why was he suddenly disinterested? She did not press him any further and sat next to him. Anthony sat on the other bench as he looked a little uncomfortable. He took off his mask, and his strikingly handsome face was revealed.
Even though she had seen his features before, Charmine was still blown away as she sat merely a meter away from him. Furthermore, as the passenger car was slightly narrow in size, her nose was filled with his fresh earthy scent. Her heart started to beat faster like it was trying to escape her ribcage.
As they sat in such close proximity, the air seemingly held the idea that something—anything—could happen…
