Chapter 165: 165. If you’re scared, don’t pretend to be strong_1

"You haven’t joined me for any rides today, it was all Daddy who accompanied me,"

Elly Campbell listened to the continuous screams around her, furrowed her brows, wanting to refuse, but then met her son’s eyes brimming with pleas and eventually nodded, "Alright then."

William Campbell’s face lit up with joy as he pulled the two of them to get in line.

Adam Jones glanced at Elly Campbell’s tightly knitted brows and her slightly pale face, frowned slightly, and whispered, "If you’re scared, you don’t have to go. I can take William on the ride."

Elly Campbell glanced at him, her gaze calm, "It’s okay, I can."

She had just never tried such thrilling rides before, the screams instinctively repelled her a bit.

When it was finally their family of three’s turn, Adam Jones strapped their son into his lap and secured the safety belt while Elly Campbell sat next to him.

He looked over at Elly Campbell and saw her hands gripping the armrest tightly, her expression serious and tense, a total contrast to her usual demeanor of taking on the world in front of him.

He couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, "Really not afraid?"

Elly Campbell, detecting the teasing tone in Adam Jones’s voice, glanced coldly at him and didn’t answer.

As the roller coaster slowly started to move, then picked up speed, William Campbell, sitting on Adam’s lap, screamed with excitement. Elly Campbell closed her eyes, wanting to yell but found that no sound would come out, as if all voices were stuck in her throat.

With the continuous screams in her ears, Elly Campbell felt like her bones were about to be thrown out, her mind went blank, void of any thoughts, only hoping for the ride to come to a stop quickly.

The short roller coaster ride of less than two minutes felt like an entire century to her.

When the roller coaster stopped, little William Campbell unfastened his seat belt and jumped down from Adam excitedly, while Elly Campbell was pale, unsteadily unbuckling her belt and walking step by step in silence.

Adam Jones, worried about her, reached out to support her arm, a hint of imperceptible distress flashing in his eyes, "Are you alright?"

"No..."

As soon as she began to speak, she vomited.

Adam Jones, nervously supporting her to the side, patted her back while giving her water offered by a passerby.

After Elly Campbell had finished throwing up, she felt much better. She swore that was the last roller coaster ride of her life.

"Take some water and rinse your mouth first."

She took it blankly, had a sip, and handed the water back to Adam Jones, meeting his slightly displeased dark eyes.

"If you’re scared, there’s no need to act tough. Nobody’s going to laugh at you!"

Elly Campbell glared at him, wanting to retort but couldn’t, and finally said softly, "Who says I’m scared? I’m just not quite used to it."

"Yes, yes, CEO Campbell, you’re so bold and talented."

Elly Campbell: "..."

She didn’t want to talk to Adam Jones at all now.

"Feeling better? Do you want to rest a bit longer?"

"No need."

Since the amusement park was about to close and William Campbell had also had a full day of fun, he seemed tired, so Adam Jones said, "Let’s head home."

Elly Campbell hadn’t fully recovered yet, and naturally, Adam Jones wouldn’t let her drive; he took her keys and got into the driver’s seat himself.

Little William Campbell had been frightened by Elly Campbell’s sudden vomiting, and now he sat obediently by her side, whispering, "Mommy, are you okay now?"

"Don’t worry, Mommy is fine."

Looking at her son’s anxious face, Elly Campbell smiled and tenderly ruffled his hair, her gaze gentle.
