Attracted By My Ex-wife
Chapter 285 Booked The Entire Park

"What should I do? I told him I'd take him there, but he wouldn't let me. Worse, he insisted that you take him there. But there are too many people there! I don't think it's going to be safe!" Selma lamented. She had begun massaging her temples as she had already felt a nasty headache coming on.

Anne didn't know what to do with it, either.

Fortunately for her, Kevin had already arrived. The moment Eddy saw Kevin, fear bloomed in his chest. He was so terrified of him that he didn't even dare talk to him as casually as he did to Anne. Although he didn't understand why he felt that way, it just seemed that every time he said the same words to his parents, his father would definitely be angry.

Eddy lifted his head and looked directly at Kevin, his eyes filled with slyness.

"Dad, hug me," he suddenly crooned, a smile gracing his lips as he opened his arms wide.

Kevin had always found Eddy to be cold and aloof, and so he had never seen him be affectionate towards him like he was being now. Because of that, he felt overjoyed and immediately held his son in his

arms.

"What's wrong?" Eddy wasn't the only one acting out of the norm-even Kevin seemed a bit gentler than he usually was.

Upon hearing this exchange, Annie rolled her eyes. She still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with the way Eddy was behaving.

To her, his pitiful facade was nothing but an elaborate plan to get on Kevin's good side.

"Dad, it's not fun at home," Eddy squeaked out. His hands were clasped together and his eyes were wide as an innocent deer's.

Kevin's heart immediately melted at this sight. He felt that Eddy was indeed a little lonely as he was without a playmate at home.

"How about I send you to kindergarten later?" Kevin suggested, lowering his head so that his face was in front of Eddy's.

While Eddy didn't know what kindergarten was, he instantly felt that it wouldn't be as fun as riding flying cars.

"No! I don't want to go to kindergarten. I want to play with big flying cars!" Eddy answered, tears filling up his eyes.

Selma looked at him helplessly. She finally found out where Eddy excelled at: acting!

'How can a kid his age be so good at manipulating people's feelings?' she thought as she sighed discretely.

Taking into consideration Kevin's personality, it was very unlikely that he would agree with his son's request. With how Eddy was acting, however, it seemed like he was able to break down his father's defenses. "Okay, champ," Kevin said affectionately. "We will go tomorrow."

"I hope Mom will go too." Eddy added, finally revealing his true intentions.

While Kevin looked caught off guard by this particular request, Anne and Selma knew what was coming. Both of them just shook their heads in amazement and disbelief.

Eddy, on the other hand, looked incredibly pleased with himself. A satisfied smile rested on his lips as he hugged his father and rested his head on his shoulders.

The only thing on Anne's and Selma's minds was how powerful Eddy would only get as he grew older. It sent shivers down their spine.

The amusement park offered a gigantic roller coaster, a true-to-life pirate ship, an impressive Ferris wheel, and even a pool where children could catch fish. Every part of it was amazing, and so it never was short of eager visitors.

But that day, the only people in A City's biggest amusement park were Kevin and his family.

"Mom! I want to ride that!" Eddy excitedly squealed, jumping up and down. He was pointing at a rather small train slowly making rounds around the perimeter of the park.

"Go ahead and take him there," Kevin ordered calmly.

Immediately, Eddy's babysitter collected him and they started towards the said ride. Anne waved him goodbye, and then proceeded to gaze at the huge Ferris wheel in the far end of the park. Unbeknownst to her, Kevin was staring at her.

"Let's go," Kevin suddenly said, taking Anne's hand in his.

They walked for a bit until they reached the Ferris wheel. Since no one but them was around, they didn't need to wait to get in. Kevin helped Anne get into the ride before he himself hopped in. As soon as the wheel started moving, Anne's heart began racing. It was her first time to ride a Ferris wheel. She had always wanted to, but she just never had a change when she was young.

Now that one of her little dreams was coming true, she felt that nothing else mattered. She wanted to live in the moment with no worries or regrets. But the thing she was happiest at that moment was her relationship with Kevin. He had given her so much that she felt like he had already fulfilled the biggest dream in her youth.

She turned to him, and she saw him smiling widely. His eyes were full of extreme tenderness.

"Anne, are you happy?" Kevin whispered in her ear.

Anne chuckled. It was as if it was the first time she had admitted she liked Kevin-she felt shy, red in the face, and no matter what she did, she couldn't hide her smile.

"More than happy." As the ride reach its peak, the two lovebirds kissed.

Everything became a blur to Anne. Nothing existed in that moment but her and her lover, their lips intertwined.

Their lips burned with passion and they both fall deeper into the moment. Down in the train, Eddy was in the babysitter's arm, and from Anne's angle, he looked so tiny like a dot. "What are you thinking about?" Kevin asked breathlessly the moment their lips parted.

Anne could only moan in response. A soft chuckle escaped Kevin's lips, as he once again took Anne's lips in his.

That moment, Anne felt her body go limp, like all her strength had been siphoned from her. She had to lean on Kevin for support, as her heart pounded against her chest.

Eddy sat on a large sofa in the empty lounge, looking visibly tired.

Soon, he was joined by Anne and Kevin. Anne seemed to have noticed the park's lack of visitors and so she asked, "Where are all the people? I thought we were just early so no one's here yet," she said. As far as she knew, people always flocked this park.

Hearing this, Kevin smiled as he had booked the entire park for themselves that day. He, however, didn't want to reveal it to her.

The VIP lounge was exquisite-impeccable decor and glass all around. It was also near the park's entrance, and so one could easily see the view outside the park's premises.

As Eddy looked out, he saw a mother and daughter approach the park's gates. They seemed to want to enter, but they were turned away.

Eddy saw the expectant look in the little girl's eyes and became confused. "Mom?" he asked. "Why didn't they let her in?" Somehow, he looked distressed about it.

Anne assessed the situation for a while. "I have a feeling your father is behind all this. Do you want to play with that little girl, Eddy?"

Eddy nodded. His eyes were full of expectation, because he had never played with anyone his age.

Anne smiled and immediately turned to Kevin. "Let them in. They probably didn't know that you had booked this place."

Kevin was shocked. He didn't expect that Anne would figure out what he did.

The surprise on Kevin's face made Anne roll her eyes. The amusement park had always been crowded with people, but this time there was no one. Did he really think she wouldn't be able to put two and two together?

Kevin just nodded. Eddy then ran towards the door cheerfully, his babysitter in tow.

Anne and Kevin then watched from afar as Eddy walked up to the little girl and held her hand without fear.

"Eddy, you'll scare her," the babysitter noted, as the kid dragged the girl across the park.

Eddy only laughed. "That train is fun! Let's go ride that!" he said to his newfound friend.

The little girl was taken aback by Eddy's enthusiasm, but soon enough, she became amused with his energy. It didn't take long before the two acted like old friends.

The little girl's mother, however, looked visibly worried. She looked at the security guard who just told them that they were not allowed to enter and asked timidly, "Can we go in?"

Before the security guard could say anything, one of Kevin's people said, "Our boss booked the whole amusement park. His son wanted to play with your daughter, so you're welcome to come in."

With a new playmate, Eddy was obviously in high spirits. He gave a small bag of snacks that Anne brought him to the girl, and smiled while watching the girl eat.

Seeing this, Anne felt relieved. She had been worried that Eddy's intelligence was beyond ordinary children's and that he wouldn't replace anyone interesting enough to befriend. Since he seemed to have no problem connecting with this little girl, she felt her worries weren't warranted.

She held Kevin's hand and smiled peacefully. Kevin, on the other hand, believed that Eddy wanted to play with the little girl because he found her adorable.

"Anne, I'm a little worried. What if Eddy becomes a playboy? How about we keep him away from the little girl?" Kevin said with a frown.

Anne immediately hit his arm. "What are you even saying? Have you ever enjoyed the pleasure of childhood? This is called innocence. Children building relationships with each other is the purest form of connection."

Kevin was embarrassed. Was it because he lacked the fun of childhood?

"Fine, fine. But although I didn't really enjoy the pleasure of childhood, I am enjoying all the pleasures of being coupled up." While saying that, Kevin winked his eyes, which reminded Anne of the latest meme in a social media site.

She giggled, but when she understood what he meant, she blushed and punched Kevin in the chest.

"Shut up. There are kids around." The mother of the young girl entered the lounge at that moment, which made her feel that she heard what they had been talking about. With that, she lowered her head out of embarrassment.

The lady seemed to have noticed this as she smiled at them shyly. "Don't be embarrassed, you two. You seem to have an incredible married life. I'm actually envious."

Hearing that, Anne smiled even more shyly and said, "We are not married yet."

"

She was all smiles when she heard what the little girl's mother said, but when she looked at Kevin, she felt that she shouldn't be too happy about it. That was why she felt the need to explain.

The girl's mother smiled even wider.

"Well, it seems like you two are fit to tie the knot." Then she looked at Eddy meaningfully.

Anne didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. It turned out that the young mother in front of her regarded Kevin as her second husband, but she didn't intend to explain, because her relationship with Kevin was indeed too complicated.

Sitting next to Anne, Kevin was blue in the face. Uneasy, he hugged Anne tightly.

It was almost evening when they came back from the amusement park. The setting sun gave the sky the most vibrant colors.

Against that beautiful scenery was Eddy's more picturesque smile. He seemed to have truly enjoyed the day.

It wasn't every day the three of them would walk together towards their abode under a gorgeous sky. It was truly a beautiful sight. "Eddy, are you happy today?" Kevin asked as he held Eddy in his arms.
