Because of Andrew's teasing, Ashley averted her gaze.
Noticing that, Andrew said, "Let me carry you in my arms."
True to his words, Andrew leaned forward and lifted Ashley in his arms like she was a princess.
Subconsciously, Ashley grabbed Andrew's collar to keep her balance.
A lot of people were still in the amusement park even though it was already between five and six o'clock, close to evening.
Surrounded by the overwhelming sight, Ashley could clearly hear other people's voices.
It made her feel embarrassed so she buried her face in Andrew's chest.
It was one of the most humiliating moments of her life.
But Andrew didn't care. With a smile on his face, he just held Ashley as they entered the haunted house.
Soon enough, Richard and Fabio noticed this. They approached Andrew and asked with extreme concern, "Dad, what's wrong with Mommy? Is she not feeling well?"
Andrew answered briefly, "She's fine. She's just a little tired. Let's go."
The two kids had planned to explore the haunted house while holding their mother's hands. But now, they had to walk in front of their parents as their wish fell through.
Since Ashley was not feeling well, they couldn't make any trouble for her.
Ahead of them was a very dark corridor where varied lights in deathly colors were slowly flickering, accompanied by numerous frightening sounds.
Naturally, Ashley heard the dreary cries and screams. As a person who was easily scared, those spooky sounds only sent chills down her spine. It made her bury her head in Andrew's chest even more. At the same time, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck desperate for some sense of security.
Fear had taken over her.
Looking at Ashley who was completely relying on him, Andrew smiled without saying anything. But it was easy to see that he was in such a good mood right then.
Meanwhile, it was totally apparent that Richard and Fabio were not afraid of the haunted house at all. They walked ahead and even began discussing the things around them.
Apart from their little family, there were also a lot of other visitors inside.
Most of them were couples or close friends. Some of them were families of four just like them.
Suddenly, a shriek came from
ice and still bring her back here.
The moment Fabio and Richard heard Ashley's shrieks, they immediately stopped walking.
Perplexed, Fabio looked at Richard and asked, "Bro, did you hear that? It sounds like Mommy's voice."
Richard nodded at his brother. "You're right.
Is Mommy really scared?"
"I don't think so. Mom is in Dad's arms. Dad won't let anything scare her."
"You're right.
Perhaps, we heard it wrong."
After a short while, they saw a faint light ahead of them. It should be the exit of the haunted house.
"Is that the end?"
"But I don't think it's enough though."
Those who were following behind them couldn't help but look at the two kids when they heard their conversation. They were adults who had had enough and wanted to get out but the kids were blocking the way.
They were just about to go around them so that they could get exit the haunted house. But they just kept silent since Richard and Fabio were very young.
They realized that it wouldn't be right to argue with little children.
But it certainly bothered some people that the two kids' behavior had revealed how much of a chicken they were, even if they were adults already! Could it be that they didn't have that much courage? Or was it because the two kids were just too bold for their age?
A group of adults just exchanged looks with one another without saying anything.
It was meaningless to squabble with two kids, even if they could use their age over Richard and Fabio.
