One Night Surprise

Chapter 518

Chapter 518 Mister, I Want That Mickey Mouse Mask

Angie took Benny to the car and told the driver the address of a dessert shop before telling him to pick Josephine up. Unexpectedly, two figures jumped into the car once they reached the location.

Benny stared at Ethan, who was sticking to Josephine vigilantly.

Only two child seats were prepared in the car; Benny occupied one, and there was an empty one next to him.

The two children didn’t know what to do for a while. Ethan was happy to give the seat to Josephine as long as he didn’t have to sit next to Benny.

Benny’s eyes were fixated on Josephine, and he had one hand unconsciously protecting the seat next to him, fearing that Ethan would snatch it away.

Angie was slightly surprised to see this and immediately got out of the passenger seat and gestured to Josephine.

“Josie, come sit on my lap instead. I didn’t know Ethan was following. That’s why I didn’t prepare more child seats.”

Josephine felt embarrassed. Angie’s words were like a relief to her as she quickly moved to the passenger seat and sat on Angie’s lap. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car’s back seat was a little awkward.

The two little boys looked at each other, and there were indescribable expressions on both of their pink faces. Then, Benny quietly withdrew his hand, turned his out of the window, and pretended nothing had happened.

Ethan walked to the seat, and the driver who came out picked him up from behind, stuffed him into the chair, fastened the safety buckle, and quickly closed the door.

Then, he lowered his head and played with his fingers while listening to the engine’s roar and Josephine’s laughter. When he turned his head to look at Benny, who was stubbornly ignoring him.

After they had gotten out of the car, Josephine happily followed behind Angie as usual while Benny and Ethan walked side by side, ignoring each other. Angie had noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two little boys, but she didn’t bother much about it. Once they entered the amusement park, the first thing she dragged the children into doing was outdoor rock climbing.

The two little boys couldn’t help but break into laughter when they saw each other with all the pieces of equipment on.

Angie helped Benny and Ethan to get a coach. Initially, the coach wanted to propose that the two compete against each other, but who would’ve expected that during warm-up preparations, a chubby boy staggered and bumped into Benny, who then fell onto Ethan.

This immediately angered Ethan, who waved his little fist, intending to teach the chubby boy a lesson. However, the boy wasn’t scared at all. Instead, he grinned.

“You two are no match for me.”

“Try us.”

Ethan raised his eyebrows to challenge; there was no doubt he had gotten that cynical look from Gale.

On the other hand, Benny was a little scared as he hid behind Ethan, with a grip on Ethan’s leather buckle. Benny thought that Ethan was about to fight the chubby boy, and Benny’s other fist tightened as if ready to rush up at any time.

The chubby little boy had obviously misunderstood. As he rubbed his hands together, he looked at Ethan and pointed to the rock climbing wall on the side.

“Then let’s compete to see who will reach the top first. If you win, I’ll apologize to your friend.”

Benny was dumbfounded to hear this.

The chubby little boy seemed to be half a head taller than Ethan, so he naturally agreed to a challenge with confidence. Before Angie could clearly understand the situation, the competition was about to begin.

This was Ethan’s first-time rock climbing. His cheeks were flushed, and sweat dripped down his forehead after just two steps in. Benny looked up at him. Worried, he started to get upset about how Ethan had to flaunt, while his own cheeks turned red at some point too.

Although the chubby boy wasn’t very agile, he was still faster than Ethan. When Ethan was halfway up, he inadvertently lowered his head and glanced down. Then, his whole face turned white with fright.

“Kid, if you’re scared, you can come down and rest for a while.”

The coach who was with him immediately saw through Ethan. The fifty-plus-year-old man suggested gently, but Ethan didn’t buy it. He continued to climb up with tears in his eyes without saying a word.

At this time, the chubby boy was clearly exhausted as well and had slowed down. He had to stop and pant each time he climbed a step. When he saw Ethan catching up, he began to fasten his pace. However, he misstepped and fell directly from the middle to the ground.

When Benny saw this, he couldn’t help but clap and cheer. His tiny heart had been thumping against his chest; he was so nervous that he found it

The chubby boy that fell to the ground had to start all over, but thoughts of failure infiltrated his mind. Soon, he began to slip off every two steps he climbed, and in the end, he could only watch Ethan reach the finish line, step by step.

When Ethan came down from the top and took off his helmet, everyone saw that sweat soaked his initially soft, fluffy hair. However, he had a smug look on his face when he looked at his competitor.

“You’ve lost.”

The chubby boy bit his lips, seeming like he was mentally destroyed, and shouted a sorry at Benny before running off to an adult not far away.

“Ethan, you’re amazing!”

Josephine jumped up and down, applauding Ethan. Every time she jumped, her fluffy tutu skirt also lifted up and down. It was an adorable sight to see.

Ethan wiped the sweat off his forehead. Josephine’s praise put him in a good mood, and after hearing Benny say that he was amazing as well, he felt like his whole person could fly.

After that, the three walked hand in hand very tacitly while Angie followed behind like a bodyguard. After a few rounds, although the three little kids were still in high spirits, Angie was exhausted.

“Aren’t you three tired? Let’s sit down and rest!” Angie exclaimed with her hands on her hips as they followed him around wearily. The long striped cardigan she had on before had already been taken off and wrapped around her waist. Although she was only wearing a short-sleeve shirt, she felt like she was on fire.

“Okay, I want some water.”

When Josephine turned around to say that, her whole face was flushed. As soon as she suggested that, the two little boys couldn’t help but agree.

“Me too!”

“You three go sit at the side and rest. I’ll buy you some juice.”

Angie’s words were like a huge relief to them as she pointed to the juice stall not far away. But, when she returned, the three little kids were nowhere to be found.

At this moment, anxiety filled her body, and her eyes began to burn as she looked around the area anxiously. Just then, she felt herself getting pulled by a small force under her. When she looked down, she saw Benny pulling her fingers, trying to drag her to a stall nearby.

“Josie wants to buy a mask.”

Following the direction of Benny’s finger, she saw the other two kids, and her thumping heart gradually calmed down. Angie walked toward them and saw Josephine holding a fluffy princess mask in her hand, looking at it admiringly.

“How much is this, mister?” Josephine asked in a childish voice. Ethan, who had initially taken an interest in the Mickey Mouse mask, immediately picked up the prince mask out of his own will after he saw Josephine had taken the princess one.

“I want this one too.”

When Angie saw this, she passed the juice to them and took out her wallet before she said to Benny, “You can choose one as well.”

However, he didn’t seem to be very interested. Instead, he scanned the stall vaguely and finally pointed to one.

“I’ll take this.”

The owner of the stall smiled and asked, “Do you want the Mickey Mouse one?”

Benny nodded solemnly before taking the mask from the stall owner and wearing it. Josephine was amused by how the mask looked on him and giggled. Then, she looked up and pondered for a moment before saying, “Mister, I want to change. I want the Minnie Mouse mask.”

……

…

Ethan, who was holding the prince’s mask, saw Josephine hurriedly putting on her new Minnie Mouse mask and felt lost. When they finally left the amusement park, Benny and Josephine had their masks on and held hands. One of them was Mickey Mouse, and the other was Minnie Mouse. Ethan was following suit behind them, wearing a Donald Duck mask. All three of them seemed to stumble a little as they walked.

“Okay, let’s go home.” Angie was already exhausted by now and took the opportunity to say this as it was getting late.
