Melinda froze, staring at him in disbelief. “You should’ve told me that. We could’ve skipped it.”
Stanley looked at her, but he said nothing.
“You and your stupid ego,” she mocked.

Stanley wanted to smack her head, but his stomach churned again, and he retched. The driver looked
on in worry.
Oh, I can’t do this. Melinda patted his back. “I’m sorry for not asking, but you’re an adult. You should
learn how to say no.”
“Shut it.” Stanley clutched his chest and coughed.
Um…
Monica was standing nearby watching this scene and feeling sad. She came to search for inspiration,
yet she saw Stanley and Melinda on a date instead. She wasn’t shocked, but it was like her legs were
made of lead. A gust of breeze kissed her cheek, and she felt herself tearing up.
She watched helplessly as Melinda patted Stanley’s back and held his arm like he was her boyfriend,
and Monica froze. Something within her shattered–it was her soul. Tears glistened in her eyes. Why?
I’ve worked so hard, and yet they’re still falling in love faster than I can close the distance between me
and him. I can’t believe he’d go for a roller coaster ride for her. He would never do someone this kind of
favor. She was worried when she saw him puke. If any reporter saw this, his image would be done for
Melinda was worried as well when she saw him suffering so much. “Are you alright? Maybe we should

Stanley turned to look at her coldly.
Melinda shut up.
He then rinsed out his mouth again and–handed the bottle to Zack. After he wiped his mouth, he
tossed the tissue away and walked off.
Melinda looked at him for a moment before following him,
Zack trailed behind slowly as he didn’t want to be the third wheel.
Monica saw them off calmly, her legs feeling like lead. Her gut told her that Stanley had fallen for this
vige girl. He would never treat a woman this nicely unless he liked her.
Stanley took a stroll around the amusement park with Melinda behind him. She looked at him,
wondering what he had in mind.
Just then, an old man selling candied fruit approached them, his wares shining and glistening under the
sun. Candied fruit was something Melinda loved back when she was a child, and the ones the old man
was selling looked particrly nice. She looked at them for a few moments.
That detail did not escape Stanley, “Want some?”
“Sorry?” She was a bit slow on the uptake.

“Candied fruits.”
“Don’t ask. Just buy. Asking me cheapens the experience,” she said.
That’s… juvenile.

The elderly man had reached them. Stanley took a stick of the candied fruits, and Zack quickly paid for
it.
Monica was still following them. When she saw Stanley handing the dessert to Melinda, she felt
something awakened within her. Like a delighted girl, Melinda carefully took the wrapper off.
She pulled the first fruit off and tried to feed Stanley, but he leaned back. “No.”

“More for me.” Melinda popped the fruit into her mouth. An explosion of sweetness and sourness filled
her mouth.
‘Stanley was reminded of the thing Samuel told him. “I can make your security system ten times
stronger, Daddy, but on one condition. You have to take ten photos with Mommy at the amusement
park
tomorrow.”

Monica /watched as Stanley took his phone out and wrapped an arm around Melinda’s shoulder. He
held up his phone with his other hand, and before Melinda could do anything, one photo was already
taken.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Melinda protested and tried to take his phone. “Let me see. I want to see
my photo.”
“Not until we’ve taken ten.” Stanley tucked his phone away calmly.
Failing to take the phone, Melinda jumped angrily. “Hey, why the sudden wefie? Wait, have you fallen…
for me?”
“In your dreams,” he said calmly, but Monica could feel the love in his voice.
