Chapter 342 Wounded
Joey picked up Sammy and gave him a lot of kisses. She hadn't seen Sammy for two days, and missed him so much.
Allen standing nearby smiled and watched them, knowing that Joey had hidden many things from him because of Sammy, but somehow, he just liked the little guy. Sammy's smile was so cute that if he was familiar with him, he would have pinched his cheek. When Sammy saw Allen smiling at him, he cocked his little head to one side and winked his big eyes, sticking his pink tongue at Allen to make a cute grimace.
Allen was so amused by him that he couldn't help saying to Joey, "Let me hold him for a moment!"
Joey nodded with a complicated glance. Allen had never held Sammy since he was born.
However, the little guy didn't want to let go of Joey. He shrugged and said, "Not everyone can hold Sammy. But since you're so handsome, I'll give you a chance. One hug costs a hundred bucks and for one minute!" Hearing this, all the people in the room froze, and then, they dissolved into laughter.
Joey was speechless for what Sammy said. She patted Sammy's hand open to ask for money and pretended to be angry, "Sammy, who taught you this? A kid shouldn't ask for money."
Sammy rubbed his hurt hands and said sadly, "Daddy Shawn taught me. He said that a man should not suffer a loss, and he should know how to make money, so that he can get a wife..."
Joey was speechless and looked back at Fiona. Fiona shrugged, saying that he didn't know when Shawn instilled such an idea into Sammy. He had to teach him a good lesson. How could a child have such an idea!
But unexpectedly, Allen nodded seriously and agreed Sammy, so he offered Sammy 100, saying, "It's really important to have a wife. Here's for you."
Immediately, all people present were taken aback.
Sammy happily took the money, slid off Joey, and stuffed it into his piggy bank. And then he returned to Allen, raised his cute little face and said, "You can hold me now, but only for one minute. If you want to kiss me, I will charge extra price!" Everyone couldn't believe Sammy would do so.
How greedy this little guy was!
Later, when asked how to celebrate Joey's birthday, Joey came up with an unexpected plan: to spend then day on amusement park!
It had been a long time since they had a good time. Today was a good opportunity for them to get together!
Of course, everyone agreed. Joey had the final say on how to celebrate the birthday.
The amusement park was really a place where one could temporarily forget the troubles. They were like going back to childhood, playing all the games in the amusement park. Throughout the whole day, they never stopped smiling, even Zelda, who was reserved and seldom laughed, laughed three times.
The happiest of all, of course, was Sammy. Kids always loved the amusement park the most. Maybe because Allen held him in a way that made him comfortable, or because Allen, as the kid said, was handsome and good-looking, the kid had already attached to Allen, and he didn't want Joey, Philip or Fiona to hold him. He only wanted Allen to hold him, and didn't ask for money.
Allen beamed and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Joey's heart was heavy because she found the injury on Sarah, but she didn't reveal her emotions on her face.
When everyone took the roller coaster, Joey and Sarah sat in a row. The roller coaster was very fast, and the wind blew Sarah's clothes, revealing the red and horrible whiplash injuries. Just a glimpse of it would make one feel painful. Joey could imagine how painful Sarah was when she got the whip.
Normally, one would not have the time to look at others while taking the roller coaster. However, in order to increase her courage, Joey often took roller coasters and played other exciting games, so she had no fear of roller coasters.
Joey's eyes were so stung by Sarah's injury that she hardly needed to ask who caused it.
Although Fiona didn't tell her about it, Joey knew that Shawn had been dealing with John recently, and tried to win over Lawrence's LC Group. John was having pressure from both rightful and devious powers at the same time, and it seemed that his business had been losing money recently, so it was not surprising he vented his anger on Sarah.
Sarah didn't tell her, and Joey pretended she didn't see it, because she knew that Sarah had her own pride and self-esteem.
In the afternoon, Sarah left early because she had to pick up Eliza at school.
Joey and others continued to have fun.
Joey and Philip sat together on the Ferris wheel.
Joey did it deliberately. She felt it necessary to have a talk with Philip about her final choice of being with Allen. As for what to talk about, Joey herself didn't have a clear idea.
