Chapter 1025

“Why not?” Diana asked in surprise. Simon seized the chance to mock Julian, and said indifferently, “Because he's afraid.”

Sean glanced at Simon, and the two nodded in agreement.

“Who says I’m afraid?” Julian piped up immediately. He glanced in the direction of the roller coaster.

“It’s just one more round on the roller coaster. What's there to be afraid of?”

Diana noticed something was wrong. “Just now, you didn't puke because you had a full breakfast?”

She waved her hands, annoyed at her own carelessness. “ It’s all my fault for being so excited that I neglected your feelings. Let's not go.”

Now that she thought about it, Julian remained silent throughout the ride. She even had a faint memory of him grabbing her hand.

However, that slight pain disappeared in an instant. She thought nothing of it, but now that she looked at her wrist, she noticed a faint red mark on it.

He didn’t make a sound even at the peak of the roller coaster!

How frightened had he been at that point? Under normal circumstances, people enjoying the ride would have screamed uncontrollably as she did during the ride.

Despite his fear, he didn’t forget to consider whether his actions would hurt her. He didn’t even dare to keep gripping her arm.

Although her heart ached for him, Diana couldn't help but chuckle. “You looked so calm before the roller coaster took off. You even comforted me and told me not to be nervous. I didn’t expect you to be scared.”

She was in a great mood right now. She held the twins’ hands and walked them in another direction.

“Let's skip the roller coaster. Daddy's afraid of it.”

“Who says I’m afraid?” Julian retorted once more. He glanced at Simon. “Don't talk nonsense!”

With that, Julian hauled Sean into his arms and raised the boy up high onto his neck. Sean sat above the crowd. Sean giggled, showing a different side from his usual solemn countenance.

Julian bought Sean an exclusive magic wand in the amusement park, and a rabbit hair clip for Betty.

Both children were elated with their new gifts.

“Sean, Daddy's not afraid,” Julian said, still trying to salvage his pride. “If you don’t believe me, I can go on the roller coaster with Mommy again. Don’t listen to other people talk nonsense.”

Simon chimed in, “Go ahead, then.” He wasn’t holding Julian back, and stopping him from going on it.

“Fine, I will!” Julian said out of spite.

With that, he grabbed Diana’s hand and walked back toward the roller coaster.

Diana could clearly tell that he was doing it out of spite. “I didn’t expect to see such a childish side to you, Mr. Fulcher.” It seemed coming to the amusement park today was the right decision.Not only did it lift her spirits and make her feel young again, but it also had the same effect on Julian.

She smiled, and said sincerely to Julian, “Right now, you look less arrogant and more adorable.”

Many adjectives had been used to describe Julian.

Adorable, however...

That was the first time someone used such a term to describe him.

“You're adorable too,” he said. The only thing he could do was to return her compliment even more tenderly and sincerely. “You're adorable no matter which angle I look from.”

Seeing how loving Diana and Julian were with each other, Sean and Betty gave each other a high-five.

They were a picture-perfect family of four. So perfect that it made Simon seem like a complete outsider.

Outsider...

Simon hated that!

He had sacrificed his legs not just in hopes of earning Diana's trust and compassion, but also to earn the chance to return to the past!

He didn’t want to be following behind Julian and Diana and see them acting all lovey-dovey!
