PAMPERED

330 Do you know the story behind it?

“AHHHHHH!” Penny shouted at the top of her lungs, her uvula visibly wiggling. However, her screams were laced with giggles and short bursts of laughter, displaying her enjoyment of the thrill ride.

Zoren, on the other hand, simply sat beside her. His expression remained unchanged, as if his heart and soul couldn’t feel the same emotions everyone else did. He even had the leisure to look at his date, who was screaming her lungs out.

“Ahh…” he let out a lazy sound, only to see her turn her head in his direction. He pressed his lips into a thin line, unsure whether she was looking at him in dismay or shock.

Zoren mentally shrugged and waited for the ride to end. When it did, he could hear the shaky voices around him and feel the lingering sensations of the ride.

“That was fun!” Penny exclaimed as she got off the ride, snapping her eyes at him. “Zoren, were you scared?”

Not a tiny bit.

“Yes,” he nodded. “Very scared, I couldn’t speak a word.

“That’s okay.” She grinned. “Next time, it’ll be less scary”

“Next… time?” His brows rose, and he saw her arm move as if she was pointing in a direction. He followed her gaze and saw twisted railings curled in the air.

Even though he could barely see it, he knew what it was.

“A roller coaster!” Penny announced, beaming. “That’s our next ride!”

He blinked twice. “I just said I was scared.”

“And I also said it’ll feel less scary next time.” A glint flashed on her little canines, and he could sense the growing mischief in her heart.

“Ahhhh!!!!

“Wooooo!!”

“Waaaah!!!

Zoren’s expression was unchanged, plain, and pretty much dead. His date, on the other hand, was making all sorts of screams she could.

“Ahhhhh!”

He flinched when her hand suddenly grabbed the handles of his seatbelt, making him turn his head to her. She was still screaming, and from what he could tell, she hadn’t realized that her

hold had moved to his. The corner of his lips curled up, and he slowly gripped the handle.

“Waa-” Penny stopped when she felt something cold and rough on her fingers. When she turned, she saw him looking at her with a slight smirk on his face, his hand holding hers on his seatbelt.

‘Hah! This guy!‘ She puffed her cheeks and looked away, flustered. However, she didn’t remove her hand.

Now, Penny didn’t know if her heart was racing because of the ride or because of that devious look on his face.

Meanwhile, Zoren let out a short chuckle through his sealed lips. When he turned ahead, the sides of his lips stretched from ear to ear until his teeth were fully displayed.

“Ahh!!” he shouted so loudly his voice stood out.

Penny flinched and looked at him, pursing her lips before she happily faced ahead. “Ahhh!”

“Ahhhh!”

For the rest of the ride, the two of them used their vocal prowess to its full potential. When the ride ended, despite their trembling knees, they headed to another extreme ride as if their throats weren’t already hurting.

One after another, Penny and Zoren tried every ride they could lay their eyes on. And while they did, they unknowingly forgot about the wide boundary that ironically bound them together.

For a moment, he wasn’t Zoren Pierson, the CEO of Piersons Corporation, and she wasn’t Penelope Bennet, the youngest Bennet of Global Prime Logistics and the CEO of her own company, the Prime Group.

Today, they were just Penny and Zoren, two people who were simply fulfilling and healing their inner child.

Penny and Zoren didn’t only try the extreme rides; they also tried the calming rides, such as the carousel, a boat ride, and the like. It didn’t matter, though, because they enjoyed each of them equally. They even tried all the booths they could see, and for some reason, the two of them. kept holding up the lines at each one.

Just like at the first booth, the staff in the other booths were in a hurry to send the two away.

Before they knew it, they had already tried all of them and were onto the last ride they hadn’t.

tested.

The Ferris wheel.

“Wow…” Penny breathed out as she gazed at the glass window. “It’s almost nighttime.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The sun was beginning to set, spreading orange and golden hues across the beautiful clear sky. They hadn’t reached the peak of the ride yet, but she could already marvel at the beautiful scenery in the sky and below.

appeared from this view. The place not only offered all sorts of fun things to do that everyone could enjoy, but it was also beautifully arranged and constructed. This Ferris wheel, for instance, was placed in a location that could offer both the beauty of the sky and a bird’s–eye view of the park.

“I heard about this place before,” she said, smiling. “When it opened. It made headlines, after all.

“I didn’t know it would pique your interest.”

A shallow chuckle slipped past her lips, her eyes on the window. “Zoren Pierson, don’t tell me this amusement park didn’t pique your interest when it was built?”

“It did, and that is why I brought you here.

Slowly, Penny diverted her gaze to him. At the same time, the orange rays of the setting sun cast upon his face, making him appear warm and soothing with that soft look in his eyes.

“But my interest in it is not about how this place could be an economic attraction, but rather the story behind it, he added gently. “Do you know the story behind it, Penelope?”

“Hmm?”

His lips curled up a bit more, slowly turning his gaze to the window as they were almost at the peak of the ride. “From what I heard, the owner of this entire amusement park dedicated this place to his childhood friends. He did it because he missed them. Do you find it… foolish?”

“Foolish?” Penny pouted, her eyes on him before she shifted her gaze to the beautiful sunset to marvel at its beauty. “I never heard that story before, but if it’s true, I don’t think it is foolish at all.”

Zoren slowly glanced at her, and for a moment, his vision felt like it was zooming in and out as it became briefly clear.

At the same time, Penny smiled beautifully as she said, “It is heartwarming for someone to dedicate a theme park to a friend who gives so much joy to everyone else. Whoever those. friends were, they probably had a big impact on the owner’s life. They were probably touched. when they found out about this park

“Mhm,” he hummed as he slowly set his eyes on the sunset, sharing this moment of silence and peace with her. I hope so,‘ was what he wanted to say, but he kept it to himself. I hope it moved her as well,” no
