Chapter 1024
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana bought a bottle of water, and patted Julianâs back. Worried, she said, âWhatâs wrong? Werenât you feeling all right just now?â
The moment the roller coaster took off, Julian immediately had a bad feeling.
Had he known this would happen, he would never have said what he said to Betty.
Why did he insist on bringing Diana along for this experience? Why did he tell Betty heâd bring her on the roller coaster once she was older?
He never wanted to step foot into a roller coaster again in his entire life!
Forget bringing Betty on itâ¦
The moment they landed, he had the urge to call Noel and acquire all the roller coasters in the country, and destroy them all.
What kind of monstrosity was it to cause so much fear in a person?
Sitting on a roller coaster and watching it from below were two completely different experiences.
Diana, on the other handâ¦
Was so excited about it.
She even dared to open her eyes and yell out loud. He, on the other hand, went stiff. He didnât dare to do anything when the roller coaster was flying in midair.
The only thing he could do was to shut his mouth to avoid embarrassing himself as he felt his stomach churning away.
âPerhaps I ate too much for breakfast,â he said, not admitting what he truly felt about the ride. He took the bottle from Diana and gargled his mouth. Seemingly unfazed, he went on, âIt felt quite bad suddenly being flung so high up.â
Diana nodded, fully understanding him. âI shouldâve remembered that you have gastric problems. We wouldnât have gone on it in the first place and made you feel so unwell.â
âItâs alright,â Julian said with a smile. âI wanted to have a go at it, too.â
He paused for a moment. His gaze on Diana became even more intense as he said, âThe roller coaster was very thrilling. You look like you enjoyed it very much. Shall we go on it one more time?â
He caressed her head. âForget it. I wonât put you in a spot. Iâm sure you donât dare to do it again.â
With that, he walked into the VIP lounge.
He couldnât take having his puke all over his shirt and shoes.
He bought a new set of clothes from the VIP lounge, and changed into it. By the time he was out, he looked his usual self once again.
Diana followed right behind him. âJulianâ¦â
Julian looked at her. âWhatâs the matter?â
Diana thought about it and said excitedly, âI dare!â
Julianâs face changed, and his hand froze as he buttoned the last sleeve button. He sounded slightly anxious as he asked, âDare to do what?â
Diana was so excited, she didnât catch that nuance in his expression. She pointed at the roller coaster, all smiles.
By now, Betty and Sean had walked over to where they were at.
Betty took on the role of Dianaâs interpreter and explained to Julian, âDaddy, Mommy wants to take the roller coaster again!â
âMommyâs really brave!
âMommy said itâs really fun!â
Betty innocently expressed her fullest support to Diana.
âMommy said that if she can ride the roller coaster many times, she could tell me how to prepare for it when I grow up! Iâm so excited!â
Diana blushed.
One didnât need experience to ride a roller coaster, and there was no need for her to prepare Betty for it. As long as Betty dared to ride on it, that would be enough.
She only said that to Betty because she was worried Betty might throw a tantrum and refuse to let them ride on the rollercoaster again.
âMmmâ¦â Julian mumbled. Why was the last sleeve button so hard to button?
He looked down, and worked on the last button for a while before finally succeeding. He turned to Diana, and said slowly, âDo you really want to ride the roller coaster again?â
Diana nodded. âI really do!â
Sean spoke up before Julian could reply to Diana. âMommy, Daddy wonât agree to it.â
