Chapter 50
Roman was first dumbfounded, then burst out laughing. “Hahaha…”
In Roman’s memory, Elio was a very powerful man, as if there was nothing he couldn’t handle. He was also very aloof, as if he wasn’t interested in anything. Now, the once aloof and powerful man was screaming because he was afraid of heights!
Compared to the aloof father in his memory, he preferred the father now, because he was more real.
Astrid and Roman were laughing their heads off, while Elio kept his eyes closed, gripping the seat belt, and didn’t open his eyes the whole time.
For Elio, every second on the machine was so long!
After an unknown period of time, the machine finally stopped. Elio unbuckled his seat belt and jumped off, not feeling safe until his feet were firmly on the ground.
His hat had been blown off at some point and his hair was all messy. The always neat Elio looked at his disheveled reflection in the mirror, immediately stood up straight and tidied his hair.
“Mr. Lampard, would you like to ride the roller coaster with us?” Astrid asked. Normally, he would find Astrid’s voice pleasant, but right now it sounded like a devil’s voice. Elio refused without hesitation, “No, you guys go ahead.”
Astrid looked at him and suddenly laughed. Recalling Elio’s pathetic state on the pirate ship, Astrid found it hilarious, “Well, we’ll be off then. You should rest here for a bit.” “Alright.” Elio nodded. He had been wearing a mask the whole time. His hideous expression should be hidden from Astrid, right?
Thinking about his poor performance on the machine just now, Elio felt very embarrassed.
