Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 19

"Mommy! It's so romantic!"

As she sat in the car of the Ferris wheel, Nellie knelt o n a chair and gazed at the panoramic view of the entire amusement park. She clapped excitedly. "I didn't know the amusement park was so huge!"

The little girl who rode on the Ferris wheel for the first time danced around happily. "When we rise higher, others in the amusement park will become smaller than ants!"

Luna sat next to her and patted her back lightly, her heart riddled with emotions.

Her three children had suffered a lot with her, especially Nellie.

She was well-behaved and sensible, and if she was not born in such a family, she would be a little princess that everyone doted on.

Her first visit to the amusement park would not be when she was six years old.

She would not be targeted by someone like Aura.

Sadness rose to Luna's throat at those thoughts.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand to hold Nellie i n her arms, and buried her head in the little girl's neck. "Mommy promises you that when this matter is over, I’ll accompany you as much as you want in the

future, okay?"

Nellie turned her head as her clear eyes bore into Luna's earnestly. "Nigel's illness will also get better, won’t it?"

Luna nodded solemnly. "Yeah."

"Mommy..." Nellie stretched out her small hands and hugged Luna in excitement.

When the mother-and-daughter pair hugged, the car they were in rose to the highest point of the Ferris wheel.

Crack!

With a loud noise, the car of the Ferris wheel began to rumble and sway side to side.

"Ah!" Nellie failed to grasp the handrail as she rolled to the floor, her small body unable to withstand the ferocity of the tremors.

Seeing her in such a state, Luna was so frightened that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. She instinctively stretched out her hand and held Nellie tightly in her arms.

"Don't be scared!"

Despite holding onto the handrail with all her strength, the two of them still shook back and forth by the car, and it was only after a while that the Ferris wheel finally stopped moving.

Still, the car was tilted.

As the entire car was tilted on its axis, the door was below them, and the car door swayed as if it would break away at any time.

If the door broke, when their strength would eventually be depleted, she would lose her grip and they would fall out of the tilted car!

Nellie trembled in fear in her arms. Luna's eyes were glazed in ice.

So, this was Aura's plan! 2

She thought that, at most, Aura only wanted to hurt Nellie—to teach her a lesson-and get back at her. She did not expect Aura would go as far as killing her and Nellie!

Luna's heart tightened fiercely at the thought.

She gritted her teeth, slipped out the sturdiest backpack strap, and fashioned it into a safety belt. She tied Nellie to the window bars while she used her clothes as a rope and tied it to her wrist.

"Mommy..." her voice sounded frail as if she was on the verge of tears. "We won't fall, would we? It's all my fault! I shouldn't have brought you to ride the Ferris wheel... Mommy, I'm scared...!" 2

"We'll be fine." Luna patted Nellie's back gently and took out her phone with a trembling hand.

No signal.

She gripped her phone tightly, her fingertips blue and white from the lack of blood circulation.

Once again, she underestimated Aura's ruthlessness and Joshua's fondness for her sister. 3
