Chapter 950 We Are So Happy
Arissa looked at Jesse in amusement. “I’m not afraid. Are you?” Immediately, Jesse shook her head. “I’m not afraid either!”
Eyeing Arissa, Jasper flashed her a smile. “If you’re scared later, just hold my hand, Mommy.” The corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched. Meanwhile, Benjamin was with Tim and Oliver.
They all looked calm and unruffled, with the exception of Benjamin, who sat stiffly in his seat. He had a tall and muscular physique, but the seat was a bit too small, which made him feel uncomfortable. “Are you two scared?”
Nonetheless, Benjamin still put that question forth to the boys. Tim and Oliver shook their heads. “I’m not scared!” Oliver was excited beyond words.
Tim, on the other hand, had never been on a roller coaster, but it had seemed fun when he watched others taking the ride on the television.
Finding it interesting, he likewise shook his head. “Nope!” Benjamin patted them both on the heads. Subsequently, he glanced over his shoulder at Gavin and Zachary behind him. “Are you both afraid?”
“Of course not!” Zachary said proudly. Gavin was grinning so widely that his eyes were mere slits. He was thrilled, for it was his first time riding the roller coaster with his parents.
In the past, he had no interest in riding the roller coaster, but his parents and siblings were with him then. When everyone rode together, it became meaningful and enjoyable.
“We’re not scared, Daddy. Are you?” Gavin deliberately asked. Benjamin snorted softly. “Sit tight.”
Hah! I merely find this too childish. I’m not even fearful when I pilot a plane and hover in the sky. Such a trivial ride is nothing!
He tapped Arissa on the shoulder. When she turned around, he asked, “Have you ridden a roller coaster before?”
Arissa nodded. “Yes!” She had been on a roller coaster several times, not only before she had the children but also a few times with the children later.
“Are you scared?” Benjamin fixated his eyes on her. Arissa shook her head. “Nope. It’s quite fun.” She then studied him for a while. “Have you been on a roller coaster?”
Benjamin pursed his lips, appearing a touch unsettled. “No.” At once, Arissa’s eyes darted to the side, mirth dancing distinctly in them. She wanted to laugh, but she didn’t dare do so.
“In that case, you can experience it today with the kids.”
“Yeah.” Benjamin swept a gaze over her. At that precise moment, Tim tugged on the hem of Benjamin’s shirt. “I’ve never ridden on a roller coaster either, Mr. Graham!”
Caressing his head, Benjamin said gently, “Then, let’s look forward to it together.”
“Okay!” A smile adorned Tim’s face, and his eyes shone brightly.
“Jasper, Jesse, are you afraid?”
Benjamin proceeded to ask the other two children.
Upon hearing that, Arissa laughed. “They’re exhilarated riding the roller coaster, not afraid in the least!”
They all settled in their seats. Only when the safety check had been conducted did the staff press the button to activate the ride.
The roller coaster gradually accelerated, climbing to the top before zipping down.
“Ah!” Arissa shouted out loud.
The children also screamed in excitement.
However, Tim jumped in fright.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Hugging him tightly, Benjamin murmured words of reassurance in Tim’s ear, although he had no idea whether the latter could hear him.
After that momentary flash of fear, Tim became excited, and he started shouting in exhilaration.
The overlapping screams brimmed with euphoria.
At the sight of Arissa and the children enjoying themselves, Benjamin flashed a faint smile.
As the children weren’t satisfied with a single ride, Arissa and Benjamin rode the roller coaster with them again before moving on to other rides.
Within one night, they went for all the fun rides with the children before the amusement park closed for the day.
“I’m so happy!” Arissa squealed while they were on the Ferris wheel.
Seeing that, all six children dissolved into laughter. Thereafter, they imitated her and shouted at the night sky.
“I’m so happy!”
“We’re so happy!”
Benjamin looked at the woman with a burning gaze. She’s having even more fun than the kids!
Sensing his gaze, Arissa turned to him, only to feel a warmth on her lips as the man kissed her.
Thump! Thump!
In a flash, her heart began racing.
