The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 725

At that moment, the carousel whirred to life.

A park attendant stopped Haynes at the entrance.

Neville, noticing the commotion, waved at Haynes with a smirk that was just a little too smug.

Dropping the previous conversation, Neville turned to chat with Stella about something else, and she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

When Keen and Marvin climbed down from the carousel, both boys were beaming with joy.

Without missing a beat, they began scanning the area for their next adventure.

Neville’s gaze drifted to Rachel, who was practically glued to Haynes’ side like a piece of stubborn tape.

His eyes sparkled mischievously, and he suggested, “Marvin, didn’t you say you wanted to try the pirate ship ride? Should we give it a go?”

Marvin, rather than answering right away, turned to Stella for her opinion. “Stella, do you want to go?”

Stella saw the hopeful look in Marvin’s eyes and nodded gently.

She then glanced over at Keen. “Keen, if you’d rather not, you can wait for us down here—”

Before she could finish, Keen interrupted, “I want to go!”

Stella studied him for a moment, then smiled. “Alright, let’s go.”

In the past, for Rachel’s sake, they only ever chose safe, slow-paced rides—like boat tours or the gentle train.

Yet somehow, Rachel always managed to have some sort of mishap.

Stella didn’t bother asking Haynes’ opinion; she simply led the group toward the pirate ship.

Haynes had been watching Stella the whole time. He’d made up his mind not to let Neville and Stella get any closer.

The second he saw them moving, he followed without hesitation.

“Are you all going on the pirate ship?” he asked.

Stella ignored him, but Keen answered, “Yes.”

By now, they’d reached the entrance to the ride.
