Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 32

Lindsey Juhl did not realize that other people saw her and Shaun Juhl as a couple.

Her hand was clutching the ice cream cone that Shaun just bought for her and she slowly ate it bit by bit. Shaun saw her and his eyes were filled with sympathy.

"What do you want to ride? I'll go buy tickets."

Lindsey rarely went to the amusement park. She did not get the chance to go when she was young. After she was adopted, no one brought her either. When she got older, she did not have the time to go.

"Merry-go-round, roller coaster, pirate ship, and haunted house."

Lindsey did not hold back and said everything that she wanted to play.

Shaun reached out to tap Lindsey's nose and said, "Okay. I'll go buy the tickets. Stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me here!"

"I know, I know. Big brother, I'm already an adult. Why are you still treating me like a child?"

Lindsey complained as she smiled and scrunched her nose.

"To me, you'll always be a little girl that needs to be protected."

Shaun said this and walked over to buy tickets.

Lindsey felt that her big brother was so gentle and warm, like a small sun and unlike a certain bad-tempered guy.

The two of them played until the amusement park closed. Lindsey never had so much fun. She screamed from all the thrill and excitement, letting out all the frustrations that were cooped up inside her.

When they came out of the haunted house, Shaun's hand was still draped across Lindsey's shoulder, hugging her tightly.

"Did you have enough fun?"

Shaun thought of how scared she looked earlier and could not help but smile with his eyes.

"Yup, it’s enough!"

Lindsey soothed her chest from the fright and only then did she realize that Shaun's arm was still draped across her shoulders. She felt a little uncomfortable with such an intimate gesture and avoided it without showing it.

"I’m really happy today, brother. Thank you!"

"Silly girl. You don’t have to thank me."

Lindsey looked at the many food stalls outside the park with great interest. Even though Shaun did not think that the place was hygienic, he could not resist her excited face and bought her some while they walked along the food street. Lindsey’s eyes were squinting with joy as she ate happily.

By the time they returned to the Guggenheim mansion, it was almost 10:00 pm.

"Shaun, I'll head in first. Drive safe on the way home!"

Lindsey smiled and said goodbye to Shaun.

"Okay. Go on in."

Lindsey was about to leave, but when she saw Shaun, she suddenly said, "Don't move. Lower your head."

The corners of Shaun's lips curled up into a smile as he said, "Linds, am I supposed to stay still or lower my head?"

Although he said this, he obediently lowered his head anyway.

Lindsey tilted her head while Shaun lowered his. The two of them were extremely close and from a distance, it looked like they were kissing.

She took off a piece of white lint that had fallen on his head at some point and handed it to him.

"Okay, you can go back now."

Lindsey waved her hand again, turned around, and walked towards the Guggenheim mansion. She did not notice that sitting in the car behind her, Shaun was looking at her with a gentle and doting gaze.
