A Love Trap

The family of four entered the amusement park hand in hand.

They looked happy, harmonious, and enviable.

After making sure that Fabio was secure in Andrew's hand, Ashley turned to Richard and said, "Richard, you have to keep holding my hand and follow me when we get inside, okay?"

"Okay Mommy," Richard replied.

Schools would be opening the next day. That was probably the reason why there were so many people in the amusement park today.

Ashley held Richard's hand with one hand and Andrew's with the other.

Josef took out his phone to take a picture of them. He then sent the photo to Johnny.

Since Andrew did not show up at the office today, Johnny was so busy that he did not have a free second.

Because of this, Johnny strongly felt that he needed a raise.

"Mommy, I want to get on that ride!" As soon as they entered the amusement park, Fabio started pointing at everything he wanted ride.

Fabio looked at the person whose hand he was holding and realized that it was his father.

Andrew looked in the direction where Fabio pointed.

It was a merry-go-round. It was one of the children's favorite rides in the amusement park. Although Fabio was more clever than other children, he was still, after all, a child.

It was to be expected that he would like to ride the merry-go-round.

Andrew just took a glance at the ride and then looked away. He said lightly, "It's childish. Do you still want to ride something so shallow?"

The merry-go-round had always been Fabio's favorite. Ashley used to ride it with him when she took them to the amusement park before.

When Fabio heard Andrew's response, he felt a little unhappy.
