"Never." Adam shook his head.
Anthea immediately shouted in a low voice, "God, the happiest thing in one's childhood is to go to an amusement park. What did you play when you were a child?"
Although she lost her mother when she was very young and her father, whom she had found later, also lost, her adoptive parents in the town treated her well. Every time her foster father got a bonus, he would take her to the amusement park.
In fact, she didn't lie to her grandpa. She had been living happily.
Adam thought about it carefully and answered in a low voice, "I usually study, and I will do some target practices and martial fitness training in my spare time."
His father, Bellamy, had always been strict when it came to raising children. Other than his youngest brother, he and his younger brother had always been obedient to their father. To them, most time of their childhood was boring. They soon got used to it.
When Anthea heard this, she licked her lips and said, "That must be a hard time!"
Adam,
The last round of tourists went out. Anthea pulled him to run to the entrance. After lining up to wait for their turn, they two got on the pirate ship, sat in the last row, which was the most exciting position.
With the beat of the drums and music, the pirate ship began to move, and it swung higher and higher.
Adam's original intention was to bring her here as a reward for her concentration during studying. He planned to enjoy the scenery like a parent who brought his own child here. However, he didn't expect that he would be dragged on the ship in as soon as he came in the park.
Compared to others who were screaming, Adam remained calm.
For him, swinging at such a high altitude was a piece of cake. He wouldn't frown even on a roller coaster. After all, he was trained to climb up and down on a rope a lot of times in the air, and when he went out on a mission, he often was fully armed, only relying on hands to abseil down from the helicopter.
However, the flowing hair of the girl beside him was all messed up on both sides of her cheeks and accidentally touched his face.
His face tickled, but he didn't reach out his hand to flick her hair off his face.
She excitedly raised her hands and cheered. Seeing her eyes seemed to reflect the splendid scenery of the setting sun, a faint smile touched his mouth while he didn't know it.
As the evening wore on, Anthea almost went crazy playing all the rides.
Adam put his hands in his pockets and followed her silently.
There was a little boy in front of them who was jumping to ask his dad for drinks. Just two more steps forward, there was a couple, and the man was handing a drink he just bought to his girlfriend. After playing for a while, her little face was already red.
Adam glanced at the store not far away, and asked, "Anthea, what do you want to drink?"
Anthea, who was reading the map, heard him and suddenly stopped. "What did you say?"
"I asked you if you want to have a drink," Adam repeated.
Her eyes nearly popped out of her head while she staring at him. "I mean, what did you just call me?"
A confused look appeared on Adam's face. "Your name, Anthea. Do you have any other names?"
She suddenly held her breath.
Just now, Anthea thought she had misheard him. This was the first time that he had called her by her
name.
Although her family, her besties and classmates, whoever close to her would call her Anthea, no one else could make her heart miss a beat by calling her name in a deep voice.
The two words which came out of his lips seemed to have the power to captivate her.
"No, no, I only have this name!" Anthea's fingers quietly curled up. "Call... call me again!"
"Anthea," Adam repeated in a low voice.
