Chapter 100 My Promise Is Precious
When it was time to leave school, Lloyd wanted to accompany them, but Gianna firmly refused. There were some matters regarding her mother that Gianna needed to discuss with Aleena, which wouldn't be convenient with Lloyd around.
Gianna and Aleena had already informed Sherman and his wife, so after picking up Calvin, they went out to eat and then took him to the amusement park
After years of separation, Aleena’s appearance had aged considerably from Gianna's memory, but Aleena remained gentle as ever. When she held Calvin and smiled at Gianna, it reminded Gianna of a photo taken when she was a child. In that photo, Aleena also held her tenderly with a warm gaze.
It was Gianna's only visit to an amusement park back then. Gianna was mentally prepared for this meeting with Aleena, suspecting that it might be about seeking mercy for the Geller family.
However, as soon as Aleena entered the amusement park, she immediately took Calvin and rushed to the carousel, waving at Gianna. "Gia, come on. Let's play together.”
Gianna smiled, her smile as radiant as sunshine in the spring breeze.
Except for some rides with height restrictions that Calvin couldn't play, the three of them enjoyed every attraction in the amusement park. Finally, after Aleena and Calvin came out of the haunted house with weak legs, they saw the Ferris wheel and their eyes lit up.
While waiting in line, Calvin wanted ice cream. Aleena said to Gianna, "Gia, you wait here in line. I'll take him to buy ice cream and be right back." “Okay.” Gianna nodded
However, for some reason, the two of them left for a long time to buy ice cream, and they still hadn't returned when it was their turn
As Gianna hesitated at the ticket gate, someone suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the Ferris wheel
She turned her head sharply to see the person pulling her. Her brows slightly furrowed. "Mr. Finley, you just have nothing to do, huh?" The cabin door of the Ferris wheel closed, and it slowly started to ascend.
Lloyd was too tall. Although the cabin wasn't small, he seemed cramped in the space.
He leaned back on the soft seat. “Taryn wanted to come to the amusement park, and it's quite a coincidence that you're here."
After speaking, he raised his chin slightly, indicating outside.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Gianna turned her head and saw Murray with Taryn in the crowd, still waiting in line. The little girl had sharp eyes and waved at Gianna frantically when she saw Gianna looking over.
After the engagement banquet, Lloyd's parents took Taryn back, and since Alivia didn't like Gianna, she kept Taryn isolated and didn't let her come to the Geller family, which frustrated Taryn.
Lloyd spread his hands towards Gianna, indicating that he hadn't lied to her. “Heh.” Gianna sat opposite Lloyd with her arms crossed, her expression ambiguous, as if saying, “Are you trying to make me believe you?"
She refused Lloyd's company today because she wanted to discuss something about her mother, Nora, with Aleena. However, Lloyd still followed along, which annoyed her.
So far, as her fiancé, Lloyd had been impeccable when it came to his behavior, and he had done a lot for her. For an ordinary girl, she would have been moved and given her heart long ago.
But she was Gianna. She had spent ten years living with danger after losing her mother. She always knew that people were the most unpredictable.
She didn't fully trust Lloyd, especially after learning that he had visited her and her mother’s residence when her mother passed away. and he was. searching for something.
So she regarded everything he did as a kind of purposeful probing.
Just like letting him appear by her side, it wasn't because she was moved, but rather she wanted to observe what he was up to, waiting for him to reveal his true intentions
She had learned to be patient.
In the still silence, the Ferris wheel slowly turned, and their cabin stopped at the highest point. Gianna looked outside, where the night sky seemed close but was actually far away.
She gazed down at the brightly colored lights of the entire amusement park and the tiny crowd.
Aleena and Calvin came back from buying ice cream and were standing with Murray and Taryn in line. The two kids were holding hands and talking happily.
Not far away, some grand event set off lots of fireworks, with myriad colors sparkling As she watched the fireworks, Lloyd watched her.
She didn't know that her side profile in the flickering fireworks was so breathtakingly beautiful
The ever- changing colored lights cast layers of lights on her graceful contours: One side of her face was in darkness, while the other side remained elegant, just like her mysterious and undefinablé nature.
‘ll buy thisamusement park and give it to you," Lloyd spoke, only to realizethat his throat was a bitdry, SO he coughed lightly and tumed his head to the side.
But in that slight turn of his head, the glass of the cabin reflected the amazement and affection in his eyes. so intense that even he was astonished. However, Gianna didn’t notice at all. She raised the corner of her lips and her gaze was teasing. "You want to buy this place and give it to me?" "You seem to really like it here," Lloyd spoke the truth.
"Mr. Finley, let's make a bet, shall we?" Gianna's smile deepened.
"What are we betting on?”
‘If you can-buy this amusement park and give it'to me, l'lagreeto <> something for you.” Gianna leaned slightly forward, her smile containing a hist of cunning. "If not, youhave to agree to something for me,” Content bélongs to ~
"Anything?" Lloyd raised an eyebrow, "Yes."
Lloyd looked up slightly, meeting Gianna's eyes as she leaned closer to him.
The fireworks in the night sky danced in her pupils, reflecting his own face.
She was smiling. "My promise is precious.”
In that moment, he felt like his heart was struck by something. His mind went blank, and he inexplicably agreed. "Deal."
Gianna was a little surprised. She sat back upright. scrutinizing Lloyd. She didn't believe he was a fool and couldn't figure out why she proposed such a bet.
This amusement park was hers. She had only been here once when she was nineteen, and later, she bought it as a keepsake. Buying her own belonging and giving it back to her. Lloyd wouldn't be able to do it if she refused. So he was bound te lose.
"I'll let you win.” Seeing Gianna's confusion, Lloyd smiled. His gaze at Gianna was filled with indulgence. "It turns out that Gia knows how to seduce
me. "What?" Gianna was stunned.
“Nothing.”
The massive Ferris wheel had completed a full rotation without them noticing. Lloyd stood up and gallantly opened the cabin door for Gianna. Gianna looked at him suspiciously and walked out.
They waited outside for a while until Aleena and the other three came down from the Ferris wheel.
"Giannal” Taryn's feet had barely touched the ground before she ran over to Gianna and tried to jump into her arms.
