"Mr. Lucas, are you hungry? If you're hungry, we'll go look for a place to eat." Irene had bought her books. At that moment, she still had about 30 dollars or so.
"It's still too early for a meal." Lucas did not want to have an early meal before heading home. "Have you been to the amusement park before?"
Irene shook her head without giving it any thought. "Those places are expensive, right? Mr. Lucas, I only have about thirty dollars or so."
Lucas took her bag and placed all the books into it before carrying it and walking forward.
Irene had no choice but to follow him.
"Mr. Lucas, have you been to an amusement park before? Is it fun?" Irene's curiosity and eagerness were piqued. "By the way, we are no longer children, right? Will they refuse us entry?"
"I've never been to one before," Lucas recalled his childhood. In fact, it was not any better than Irene's. His mother had to work in order to support the family.
His mother was in the service industry. The pay was higher on the weekends and so, she usually worked weekends.
He was usually alone during the holidays, with only his dog by his side.
"Then, let's go have a look!" Irene chased after him. "Even if they don't let us in, just having a look is not bad either!"
"We can enter as long as we have the money," Lucas said. "The bookstore is open. The amusement park would surely be open as well."
Half an hour later, they arrived at the amusement park. The amusement park was indeed open, but there were not many people there.
After they entered the amusement park, Irene was immediately captivated by the carousel.
"Mr. Lucas, let's go on the carousel! There are adults on the ride too!" Irene happily said.
Lucas followed her to the carousel. The carousel cost three dollars per ride. Lucas immediately took his phone out to pay. Once the carousel stopped, Lucas got Irene to get on it.
"Mr. Lucas, are you not joining me?"
"It's too childish." Lucas insisted on not joining her.
