Alright, as long as the kid knew to stay alert, the adults could relax a little. The three of them walked to the main entrance. Since Freya had already bought the tickets online, they just needed to print them out. Compared to the long snaking lines at the ticket booths, their entrance was much smoother.
Inside the park, it was packed and lively. Both Freya and Louis were the kind of strikingly attractive people who could draw attention just by standing still. So when they entered, it was no surprise that heads turned and eyes followed. A few people even looked like they wanted to approach and start a conversation–until they noticed the cute kid being led by the hand between the two of them. That stopped them in their tracks.
Freya overheard some nearby chatter:
“Check out that couple with the kid–way too good–looking! For a second, I thought they were celebrities out for the day.”
“Sigh… too bad they’re both taken. Otherwise, I’d totally go try to chat them up.”
“Right? Like, seriously, do all the hot guys only go for gorgeous women now? What hope is there for the rest of us?”
“You’re still thinking about that? I just wanna say–look at that kid they’ve got with them. So cute, and he looks super well- mannered too. I hope I can have a son like that someday.”
“Girl, wake up. You and your husband don’t even have the looks. You think your kid’s gonna be a beauty?”
Freya almost laughed out loud listening to their banter. Too bad Aiden wasn’t actually her child, or she’d probably be bursting with pride.
Aiden tugged on her hand. “Freya, what should we do first?”
“That depends on what you want to try. I think the rollercoaster and bumper cars look fun. What do you think?”
Freya had never been to an amusement park before, so she only knew a few of the basic rides. She personally wanted to try the carousel, but it felt a little weird bringing a little boy on something like that. And Louis definitely wouldn’t be interested.
Aiden hesitated for a moment, eyeing the towering rollercoaster tracks in the distance. Then he nodded with resolve. “Let’s do the rollercoaster first. Then bumper cars.”
There was a decent line at the rollercoaster–families with kids, couples on dates. Before Louis could do anything, Freya had already stepped into the queue on her own. She waved at Louis and Aiden cheerfully: “I’ll stand in line here. If you two are tired, go rest for a bit.”
That made quite an impression on the people around them. A man standing nearby said to his girlfriend, envious:
“Wow. A girl that gorgeous is not only willing to wait in line, she’s letting her husband and kid go rest? That’s insane. I’m so jealous.”
His girlfriend snorted. “Why are you only focusing on her? Didn’t you see how handsome her husband is? And he’s decked out in designer brands. That outfit alone probably costs over fifty grand. You had money like that, you could hire someone to stand in line for you. That woman’s either got a screw loose or zero status at home. If I had her looks, I’d never settle for a guy who doesn’t treat me right.”
The guy muttered, “Good thing you don’t have her looks, or I’d be walking around with a green hat on my head.”
The girl didn’t miss a beat. She kicked him in the leg. “Wanna repeat that, smart guy?”
“N–no, I was just messing around. You’ve got such great character–there’s no way you’d ever do something like that.”
