His Unveiled Passion

Since Tessa and Stephen decided to leave the haunted house, they stopped in the hallway. Then, Stephen took his phone out to make a call.

Soon, a staff member appeared before them, opened a hidden door nearby, and led them out of the haunted house.

Tessa's vision swam slightly after leaving the dim interior of the haunted house and into the bright sunlight.

Stephen reached out to support her. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she murmured somewhat weakly.

They waited by the exit for ten minutes before Naomi, Quentin, Henry, and

Samantha appeared one after another.

Quentin looked as though he was seconds from passing out.

In contrast, Naomi looked positively exhilarated. "This haunted house lives up to

its name. That was pretty fun!"

Quentin looked utterly miserable. "It's good that you had fun."

Naomi's eyes landed on Tessa, who was standing not far away. She asked curiously, "Hold up. How did you get out so fast, Tessa?"

A hint of awkwardness flickered on Tessa's face. "I wasn't feeling all that well, so I left early through the staff passageway."

"You're unwell? What's wrong? Is it bad?" Naomi pressed worriedly.

"Not really. I just got a little dizzy," Tessa murmured. She thought to herself, "I was dizzy due to fright."

Naomi let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're alright." Then, she looked at Quentin and remarked, "Look at the state you're in. You're practically shaking like a leaf. I told you that you should just stay behind if you're scared, but you refused to listen to reason."

Quentin was genuinely shaken. "I'm not doing this again. Never again, you hear me? Screw these attractions! This is supposed to be an amusement park, but I haven't been amused at all. If anything, it should be called a torture chamber because I've been tormented to hell and back!"

Naomi let out a guffaw. "I think it was great! You've really got no one else but yourself to blame for being such a scaredy cat."

Quentin shook his head helplessly and said indulgently, "Naomi, can't we go for something milder for a change?"

Naomi clicked her tongue before pointing at the river rapid ride nearby. "Fine. You've accompanied me on two attractions, so it's only right for me to do the same. Why don't we go on that one?"

Quentin raised his head and happened to see the ride reach the peak before plunging down at high speed, splashing water everywhere.noveldrama

His brow furrowed at the sight. "You call that mild? How is that mild at all?"

Naomi scoffed at him, crossing her arms. "How is that not considered mild? That river rapid ride is the mildest attraction out of the ones love togo on. Why bother coming to an amusement park if you're that much of a wuss? Forget it I'll go by myself."

She promptly stomped off ahead without him.

"I didn't say I wouldn't join you! Naomi, wait!" Quentin hollered as he ran after her.

Henry and Samantha had just left the haunted house.

Samantha didn't look too hot. She seemed to have contributed to quite a few screams in there.

Henry gently wrapped an arm around her, coaxing her softly.

They walked over to Tessa, and Henry asked, "Where's Quentin and Naomi?"

Tessa answered, "They've decided to go on the river rapid ride."

Henry nodded in understanding before turning to Samantha. "Sweetheart, what would you like to do next?"

Samantha pursed her lips and said, "I want to see the beluga whales."

Aside from exhilarating and toe-curling attractions, this amusement park also featured several animal attractions.

"Would you like to join us?" Henry looked at Stephen.

Stephen replied, "You two go on ahead."

He figured they should go their separate ways. That way, not only would Henry and Samantha be able to enjoy their time alone, but he and Tessa would also be able to do the same.

"Alright." Henry then left with Samantha.

Tessa watched them leave for the belugas and commented, "Henry seems different. His relationship with Samantha isn't like his past ones."

Stephen hummed in agreement before asking, "Has anything caught your eye?"

Tessa gestured to an attraction. "That one looks fun."

"Alright, let's go," Stephen responded.
