Chapter 233
Richard pouted.
He had never said that he wanted to take care of Jessica, his ‘godmother’, when she grew old.
Even her status as his godmother was something she had forced upon him.
Cordy simply listened on to the conversation between Richard and Jessica.
She remained silent, and so did John.
Only Jessica and Richard could be heard in the queue, mostly with Jessica taking the initiative to tease Richard and him going along with it.
After half an hour, it was finally their turn.
“Shall we ride together?” Jessica enthused.
The Ferris wheel carriage was very large, enough to accommodate eight passengers.
“No need,” Cordy rejected immediately. “We shan’t interrupt your date.”
“It’s all right, Jessica said generously.
“There are so many reporters around. It’s not good if they film us together.” Cordy was straightforward with her words.
Clearly, she had noticed the hoard of people around them.
Jessica turned to look at John, as if to seek his opinion.
“Let’s sit separately,” he said.
“Oh,” Jessica looked disappointed but she did not oppose him. She said regretfully, “I just wanted to sit in the same carriage as Dicky.”
“You guys go ahead. I can ride on this by myself,” Cordy suggested.
“I want to ride with Mommy,” Richard said firmly.
“You ingrate. To think that I dote on you so much,” Jessica said lovingly yet helplessly to Richard.” Fine, fine. You can sit with anyone you want. Since when have I made things difficult for you?”
Richard was extremely displeased.
