Chapter 79
“Hey, it’s not safe for you to show your face at the amusement park,” came Anthony’s reply. “It’ll be better for you to wear a mask.”
Charmine was speechless. What did he mean it was not safe for her? Clearly, the people who would be in the most danger were Anthony and Chris. One of them was dubbed the king of Burlington while the other was titled as its prince.
“Don’t worry, we have masks too,” Anthony said, seeming to guess what Charmine was thinking about. He took out two more masks and handed one to Chris. Chris took it with a big smile and quickly put it on. Already adorable as he was, the mask made him look even more endearing.
Still, something seemed off to Charmine… Something was not quite right. These three masks — Mommy Pig, Daddy Pig, and Peppa Pig—were clearly a family set of masks. Moreover, it seemed like it was bought beforehand!
Did Anthony prepare this before she even agreed? She felt like asking him, but the car had already stopped in front of the amusement park’s main entrance.
Nial announced, “Head on in, you guys. I’m going to pick up a friend, but I’ll be back to pick you guys up later on.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sounds good,” replied Anthony as he put o n his mask and carried Chris out of the car. H e stood by the door and considerately held the door open for Charmine.
All the onlooking girls started to scream excitedly, “Oh, oh, oh! He’s so tall! He must b e at least a hundred and ninety centimeters tall!”
“Not only is he tall, but he’s also such a gentleman! That’s so attractive for a man to treat his wife so well!” sighed another.
“I want a car like that, Hubby!” demanded a woman to her husband.
Charmine, who was still in the car, frowned when she heard the girls. ‘Anthony is too much. Even with a mask on, he can bewitch s o many people. A bunch of nymphos with no brains,’ she thought inwardly. As Charmine liked to keep a low profile, she placed on her mask before stepping out of the car.
The three of them stood together. Anthony, with his tall figure, looked extremely refined and attractive. Charmine was close to 170 centimeters herself and gave off an air of vibrant energy. Standing in the middle of them was the precious child Momo, soft and cute. One look at him would melt a person’s heart.
They attracted the eyes of many as they walked together, and some even took out their cellphone to take photos of them excitedly.
Charmine turned a blind eye to the antics of the onlookers. Since she had promised Chris, she was going to ensure he had an enjoyable trip in the amusement park. She held the boy’s hand and reminded him, “There are a lot of people in the amusement park, so be good the whole time we’re here. Hold onto m y hand or your dad’s hand, and don’t run off on your own.”
“Mommy, relax. With you here, I promise I won’t go anywhere!” Momo patted his chest and stuck to Charmine obediently.
Anthony walked behind them. As he watched Charmine’s figure from behind, his eyes darkened. This was the first time he had been to the amusement park with a woman. He had heard that an amusement park was the best place to woo a woman.
He hoped that his efforts would be successful today.
At that moment, Chris pointed toward the big Ferris wheel and gushed, “Wow! Mommy, can you see that Ferris wheel? It’s s o cool! Momo wants to go on it!”
“The Ferris wheel? Are you sure you want to go on it? It’s not very exciting,” Charmine tried to dissuade him.
Alas, Chris stood his ground as he said, “It’s exciting! I want to go on it, and I heard it’s fun! Also, Timmy just told me that he rode the carousel with his mom and dad. I want to ride the carousel with my mom and dad too!”
Charmine could only relent as she said, ” Okay, okay, I heard you. Stay here, I’ll go buy the tickets.”
“No, let me buy the tickets,” Anthony chimed in. “You can stay here with Chris, right by this tree.” Having said that, he grabbed onto her shoulders and gently nudged her under the tree.
Charmine could feel his large hands on her shoulders; strong and capable. Even on this hot summer’s day, his palms felt cool. She was flustered by his touch. By the time she regained her composure and snapped out of her little trance, Anthony had already walked to the ticket counter to buy the tickets.
A small smile crept its way to her face as she gazed at him. This man was pretty darn attractive. Chris snuck a look at Charmine, and the corners of his lips curled up.
It looked like his Mommy was not completely against his Daddy.
He giggled gleefully and said, “Mommy, my daddy is better-looking than most other men. He’s very hardworking, responsible, and has never been close to another Auntie! Daddy said that a man’s pride isn’t having a sea of women surrounding him, but it’s to b e able to love one person completely. To spend a whole eternity, just the two of you, i s the thing he said he’d be most proud of.”
