"Never." Adam shook his head.
Anthea immediately shouted in a low voice, "God, the happiest thing in one's childhood is to go to an amusement park. What did you play when you were a child?"
Although she lost her mother when she was very young and her father, whom she had found later, also lost, her adoptive parents in the town treated her well. Every time her foster father got a bonus, he would take her to the amusement park.
In fact, she didn't lie to her grandpa. She had been living happily.
Adam thought about it carefully and answered in a low voice, "I usually study, and I will do some target practices and martial fitness training in my spare time."
His father, Bellamy, had always been strict when it came to raising children. Other than his youngest brother, he and his younger brother had always been obedient to their father. To them, most time of their childhood was boring. They soon got used to it.
When Anthea heard this, she licked her lips and said, "That must be a hard time!"
Adam,
The last round of tourists went out. Anthea pulled him to run to the entrance. After lining up to wait for their turn, they two got on the pirate ship, sat in the last row, which was the most exciting position.
With the beat of the drums and music, the pirate ship began to move, and it swung higher and higher.
Adam's original intention was to bring her here as a reward for her concentration during studying. He planned to enjoy the scenery like a parent who brought his own child here. However, he didn't expect that he would be dragged on the ship in as soon as he came in the park.
Compared to others who were screaming, Adam remained calm.
For him, swinging at such a high altitude was a piece of cake. He wouldn't frown even on a roller coaster. After all, he was trained to climb up and down on a rope a lot of times in the air, and when he went out on a mission, he often was fully armed, only relying on hands to abseil down from the helicopter.
However, the flowing hair of the girl beside him was all messed up on both sides of her cheeks and accidentally touched his face.
His face tickled, but he didn't reach out his hand to flick her hair off his face.
She excitedly raised her hands and cheered. Seeing her eyes seemed to reflect the splendid scenery of the setting sun, a faint smile touched his mouth while he didn't know it.
As the evening wore on, Anthea almost went crazy playing all the rides.
Adam put his hands in his pockets and followed her silently.
There was a little boy in front of them who was jumping to ask his dad for drinks. Just two more steps forward, there was a couple, and the man was handing a drink he just bought to his girlfriend. After playing for a while, her little face was already red.
Adam glanced at the store not far away, and asked, "Anthea, what do you want to drink?"
Anthea, who was reading the map, heard him and suddenly stopped. "What did you say?"
"I asked you if you want to have a drink," Adam repeated.
Her eyes nearly popped out of her head while she staring at him. "I mean, what did you just call me?"
A confused look appeared on Adam's face. "Your name, Anthea. Do you have any other names?"
She suddenly held her breath.
Just now, Anthea thought she had misheard him. This was the first time that he had called her by her
name.
Although her family, her besties and classmates, whoever close to her would call her Anthea, no one else could make her heart miss a beat by calling her name in a deep voice.
The two words which came out of his lips seemed to have the power to captivate her.
"No, no, I only have this name!" Anthea's fingers quietly curled up. "Call... call me again!"
"Anthea," Adam repeated in a low voice.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
