Chapter 6 6

Amusement park.

Christian wore the same tender yellow princess dress as Eleanor again, and the two of them followed beside Alessia, just like a pair of beautiful sisters.

Since Eleanor was frail and couldn't play thrilling rides, Christian considerately accompanied her to ride the carousel.

At the same time, Dominic and Christopher also entered the amusement park.

Dominic held the tickets in his hand, glanced at Christopher beside him, and asked, "What ride do you want to play?"

Christopher, wearing a black duckbill cap, was seriously studying the highly stimulating giant pendulum swinging in the air.

He tightened his small face and replied seriously, "I want to play the giant pendulum!"

This ride seemed exciting, and Chris' lively and cute personality should enjoy it.

"Okay!" Dominic pursed his thin lips into a straight line and nodded in agreement.

After playing on the giant pendulum, Christopher's face was already pale.

Dominic was afraid of heights, and he looked even paler than Christopher.

The father and son stood side by side with the same pale and expressionless faces. Dominic tried his best to appear no different from usual, and asked, "What do you want to play next?"

"Pirate Ship!" Christopher, equally fearless, replied concisely and coolly.

Dominic's expression stiffened for a moment, narrowly avoiding fainting.

However, no matter what, he couldn't show any fear.

Expressionless, Dominic calmly walked towards the queue on the side.

After playing many thrilling rides, Christopher realized that he still hadn't successfully encountered the neighbor aunt. He finally realized that he might have gone in the wrong direction.

While Dominic was in the restroom, he stood outside, took out his phone quietly, put on a serious face, and carefully sent a message to Christian.

[What are you playing in the amusement park?]

[Uh? We've already finished playing! Now we're at the snack street. The crispy Popcorn, Churros and Funnel cake here all look so appetizing. I can't take it anymore, I'm going to eat them all up!]

Then, Christian added: [But, why are you asking me this? Hehe, are you also at the amusement park? Hurry over, waiting for you!]

With just few words from Christopher, Christian enthusiastically sent a bunch of voice messages and keenly deduced his location.

The phone buzzed and vibrated incessantly.

Christopher still hadn't adapted to Christian's enthusiasm. His face blushed from being bombarded with so many messages. Just as he was about to reply, he saw Dominic come out of the restroom with a cold face. He discreetly put his phone back into his pocket.

"What do you want to play next?" Dominic wiped off the water stains on his hands meticulously, and forced himself to focus.

"I'm hungry!" Christopher pursed his lips and looked towards the crowded snack street across the way.

"Who are you texting?" On the other side, Alessia placed the two boxes of Churros she had just bought on the dining table, casually asking Christian, who was playing with his phone.

"A new friend I just met. He's quite interesting," Christian replied, pocketing his phone. "Maybe he'll come over later! I'll introduce you to him then!"

"Great!" Alessia readily agreed, her gaze affectionate.

Christian was quite the social butterfly, so Alessia wasn't surprised he had made a new friend so quickly. However, she did feel curious to meet the first friend Chris had made since returning to the country.

The snack street was bustling with people, some stalls even had long queues in front of them.

At that moment, Christopher finally spotted Alessia's figure at the Churros stall.

She wore a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

Christopher's palms became slightly sweaty with nervousness. He glanced behind him and saw two girls in ginger-yellow princess dresses sitting with their backs to him.

Christopher couldn't help but feel puzzled. Why were there two girls? Where was Christian?

Furrowing his brows in confusion, Christopher stealthily looked at the person beside him, Dominic, who was glaring disdainfully at the crowd in front of him.

His father didn't like him interacting with strangers. If he found out that he had come to the amusement park with the neighbor aunt's family, he would be even more unhappy.

With that thought in mind, Christopher pretended to casually walk to the adjacent stall.

He ordered a Chicken Tenders and took a few bites. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong all over his body.

Itchy.

On his hands, on his face...

"Christopher, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Dominic noticed Chris' discomfort and asked.

"It's uncomfortable!" Christopher's breathing became rapid, his little face creased with worry.

Before he could say anything else, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Dominic acted quickly, catching him in his arms just in time.

"Is this food poisoning?"

"I don't know. he just ate the chicken tenders. What should we do?"

"Should we call an ambulance?"

"Let's call the police!"

The sudden accident attracted a crowd, and soon the food cart selling chicken tenders was surrounded.

"Mom, someone has food poisoning, please go and check!" Christian who was busy eating, stood up anxiously and looked over.

"Yes, Mom, hurry!" Eleanor's mouth reddened from the spiciness, echoed like a little parrot.

"You two stay here and don't run around!" Alessia glanced at Christian and Eleanor, reminding them.

Alessia squeezed through the crowd and said aloud, "Excuse me, I'm a doctor! Please make way!"

Hearing that there was a doctor, the onlookers consciously made way.

Soon, she reached the center of the crowd and saw a man in a black suit shielding a child with his back turned to her.

The man's movements were skilled and gentle, just his back gave a reassuring feeling.

Alessia guessed that he must be a good father.

As she was about to crouch down to help, the man stood up, and their eyes met.

The man had a handsome face, as if finely carved, and there was a hint of emotion in his usually calm eyes.

Alessia's pupils constricted, and her body instinctively stiffened.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that the person suffering from food poisoning would be related to Dominic.

Her gaze involuntarily swept to the child in Dominic's arms.
