Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart

Chapter 78 Too Complacent



It was New Year's Day, the first day of a brand-new year. William finally got out of his busy work and set aside a whole day. He remembered Jane told him that one could not break promises from the kids, or they would never believe him again.

"Let's go."

William came down from the second floor, holding Dayton's hand.

Because it was subzero temperatures at the moment and there were many outdoor rides in the amusement park, William and Dayton wore the same black down jacket. "Darling, are you ready?"

Jane brought an insulation bag, in which she put some homemade dishes and soups, as well as a few snacks.

Homemade dish was always better than the one in the restaurant when they were away from home, so she got up early in the morning and prepared some.

"Let's go."

William smiled when he noticed the insulation bag in Jane's hand.

For him, this woman was nothing but a good cook. Last time, Andrew came to their house starving, and he ate most of the dishes Jane made.

So, he told Andrew's return to Harrison as a little revenge.

The thought of Andrew being forced to the blind date filled William with satisfaction.

"Janie, you have to wear something festive for the New Year. It implied that the New Year is getting better and better."

A few days ago, Colin and Harrison caught a cold when they were playing golf, so they decided to go to the hot spring backyard.

Colin frowned and said that when he saw that Jane was about to wear a black down jacket.

"Grandpa, I'll change to a red one."

Jane smiled and nodded. She quickly went upstairs to change her clothes. Colin broke into a smile.

Red was good, it was more festive!

William paused for a moment while he started the car, then he said, "Actually, you don't have to please Grandpa like this."

Grandpa shouldn't ask Jane to change her jacket, William thought.

He believed that adults should have the right to decide their dressing, and he was a little worried that Jane might be annoyed if the Floyds had got into so many details of her life. "How could you see it as pleasing?"

The air conditioner was on, so the temperature in the car rose. Jane untied Dayton's down jacket. She couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek again when she saw his misty little eyes. "Mommy!"

Dayton still wasn't used to be kissed like this. He blushed, threw himself into Jane's arms, and wouldn't come out.

"Honey, grandpa is right. We should be more festive on New Year's Day."

Indeed, everyone had their temper and habits. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Colin was the head of a family, so sometimes he could be a little bossy and traditional. But he often made exceptions for the female lead, so he wasn't that impersonal.

Back then, when the female lead's parents had died for Colin, he gave her a large amount of compensation to make it easy for the rest of her life. And she wouldn't need to stay by his side. The Duncan's property was abroad, but Colin had stayed in City J for so many years because female lead might feel uncomfortable living abroad.

He was an old man, preferring liveliness to loneliness. That was why he wanted the whole family in bright color.

"It's just a jacket. It's not a burden for me as long as Grandpa can be happy. Instead, I feel happy to do something for him."

Jane really meant it. Others probably wouldn't understand this feeling. She cherished this family and enjoyed being one of them.

Therefore, she often took some time to stay with Grandpa every day. They talked, walked, and played chess. She did these not only to make him happy but also to pay female lead back. William looked at Jane with a mixed feeling. He began to doubt himself.

It had been six years. He didn't know if Jane disguised herself so well, or he never got to know her in the first place.

So, he decided that he wouldn't trap himself in this difficult question.

William didn't want to admit that he was bothered by this. He was going to observe her for some more time.

When they arrived at the amusement park, Dayton held his Mommy in his left hand and his Daddy in his right hand. There was a big smile on his face.

Because it was a holiday and there were a few new rides in the amusement park, groups of parents took their children here.

For Dayton, this was the first time in the whole five years of his life.

"Dayton, you are the captain today. Which one do you want to have a try? Tell Mom and Dad."

There was a stall selling colorful marshmallows on the roadside, and many parents were lining up. Dayton couldn't take his wistful eyes off that.

"Then..."

William knew those marshmallows were made of coloring, so he was about to say no.

"Mommy, Dayton wants that."

Jane was so excited hearing this that she glared at William. When they came out from the stall, she realized that she was a little too complacent. How dare she contradicted William, her boss?

"Too sweet, don't eat much."

William could do nothing. He didn't want to be the buzzkill.

He had promised Jane to take them to the amusement park, and he didn't want to disappoint them.

It was the first experience for William to be rejected before he could say anything. Jane made him look bad, but he would let it slide this time.

"Wow!"

In front of them was the roller coaster. A bunch of people was watching from below, and the others were screaming from above.

"Mommy, I want to take this. It just falls off with a whoosh."

Dayton clapped his hands. He was not frightened but excited, and his eyes lit up.

No wonder Ramiro came to the amusement park every month. This place is brilliant!

Some kids might be scared to tears when they fell from above. So, it was a game for the brave.

"Mommy, can I play?"

Dayton asked Jane again shyly and just ignored William.

"I'll wait for you down here."

William nodded calmly.

Jane trembled a little. She was afraid of heights and the last thing she wanted was to go up there.

However, Dayton liked it, and someone should accompany him to take it.

Jane took a deep breath and forced her face into a smile, "Dayton, ask Daddy to come with us. Our family cannot be separated."

William said, "..."

He couldn't admit that he was also afraid of heights.

"Great! Daddy and Mommy come together with Dayton!"

Dayton's face was red with excitement. In kindergarten, when his friends talked about the amusement park, he couldn't join them because he hadn't been there before. Every time he could only sit alone in the corner and looked at the other kids in envy.

However, it wouldn't happen again. Daddy and Mommy were going to take the roller coaster with him!

"Buy the tickets."

William glanced at Jane. This woman was obviously afraid of heights, but she dragged him into this with her. As he expected, she was as selfish as before.

All the changes he thought were just her disguise.

But if Dayton found out that his dad was afraid of something he liked, what would he think of his dad?

William struggled with himself for a moment and finally decided to go up.

Unfortunately, they were arranged in the first row.

The first row was the scariest part of the roller coaster. William closed his eyes. What a jackpot.

"Dayton, baby, if you're scared, just hold Mommy's hand, alright?"

Jane was afraid, but she had to be brave for Dayton.

Dayton sat between William and Jane with his seat belt locked.

"Mommy, I'm not scared. It seems so much fun."

Dayton laughed with excitement, and he enjoyed being struck by the wind.

Jane was speechless.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
