Raven did not experience any traumatic experience before. She actually doesn''t know why she''s afraid of heights.
Whenever she''s on a higher spot and looked down, she will get frightened and always assumed she will fall automatically.
Her bnce was not also good even at high staircase and she hated that.
But now she seemed fine with Jordan around her. She felt somewhat secured.
Once again, she experienced the heart palpitations but this time it''s because of Jordan''s intense stares and closeness at her. It''s definitely not because of the acrophobia.
She smiled at him and fixed her posture. "Thanks. I think I''m good."
She tried to disregard the feeling and shifted her eyes to look at the breathtaking view of the entire theme park and the surrounding areas of province from the top of the Ferris wheel.
"That''s good." Jordan replied seeing Raven smiled at him. ''She''s so cute with her dimples appearing like that.'' He wanted to pinch those cheeks and kissed her but restrained himself.
''What would she think of me?'' The sudden thought crossed Jordan''s mind. He should be mindful and take steps slowly given of their age gap.
Jordan was already twenty seven while Raven was turning eighteen this year. They had a nine years age gap.
He loosened his embrace to Raven and fixed his posture as well. Although quite perplexed, Raven did not utter a word with the sudden released of Jordan''s arms from her.
After the Ferris wheel, Jordan and Raven seemed to be awkward with each other. Senior Choi frowned as he observed the two.
''What the hell happened? I thought that will help them to be closer?''
"Father I think we better go back home now. There''s no more friendly attraction to ride at except for those extreme ones." Raven suggested.
"Wait let us try one morest ride. I saw a swanke around the corner from the top of the Ferris wheel. That looks fun." Senior Choi blurted out easing the awkwardness.
Jordan was also quiet and did notment.
"Common little Raven, one more ride then we will go home." Senior Choi once again asked.
"You''re forgetting something. You promised not to call me little Raven anymore." She now smiled reminding her father.
"Okay fine Big Raven let''s go now?" Senior Choi talked in a serious tone.
"Father!" Raven was still in protest.
"What? Big Raven? I kept the promise okay. So let''s go now my Big Raven."
Raven just blew airs on her forehead in surrender.
Raven and Jordan pedaled the swan-shaped boat around therge pond while the elders had another swan boat also. It''s a slow paced boat ride.
It was actually rxing with the experience of floating around the islets and dodging other swans.
Jordan was being a gentleman whenever they will bump to other swan boats.
He will instantly block his arm to her front as if protecting her from any harm even though she wore a protective belt already.
Raven was so happy. ''So this is the feeling of having a brother taking care of you.''
But that smile faded when Jordan asked her something out of the blue.
"When will you leave?" Jordan suddenly asked looking at Raven from his side.
"My flight will be three days from now. I mentioned that I''ll be leaving a month advance before the ss starts." Raven wrinkled her eyebrows.
There are so many questions to ask. Why would he always begin it with when she will leave?
She thought they can start on something given that Jordan''s bing approachable these days. Maybe she''s just hoping for something vague at all.
''Perhaps he was just being nice since he was happy that I will be leaving soon. He was just being considerate I guess?'' Raven thought to herself.
She hated the feeling of being pessimistic on things but she can''t help thinking that way about Jordan ever since he strongly announced his disagreement for her to be his sister five years ago during his graduation party.
That was not actually thest one. There were other incidents where he deliberately said that he opposed to her being his sister.
She recalled the most recent and worst scenario that just happened a year ago.
It was theirpany event. Senior Choi would introduce her as his daughter and she witnessed how her father was so proud of her with the way she handled herself at the crowd.
All her father''s subordinates were astonished and praising him to have a beautiful daughter like her and same goes with Jordan of how lucky he was having a sister as elegant and astonishing as her.
What Jordan did was so unexpected. When he was giving his speech, he thanked his father and specifically included her in the speech.
Thanking her also for her support and assistance to the family even though she was a FOSTER child. The word FOSTER was pronounced with a heavy tone and diction.
Although there was contemtion as he did paid tribute and mentioned the contribution of his biological father to thepany.
This causemotion to thepany employees who''s at most thought they were real siblings.
So from that day on the ''FOSTER CHILD'' became her nickname to all employees under theirpany.
Well, that''s okay with her since it''s a fact and she don''t care on what others think of her as long as she had a clean conscience.
Besides, she doesn''t have any greed with her father''spany at all.
Again, all that matters to her was she was treated and loved like a real daughter.
However, she must admit that she was really hurt with Jordan''s actions because one thing was clear…
Jordan doesn''t like her at all, he hates her. That only exined all his disagreement for epting her to his family legally.
Like in the movies or series, she''s apetitor at wealth not only to Jordan''s eyes but to everyone''s eyes eventually.
She''s witnessing how important thepany was to Jordan. He''s a workaholic person. You might even think he was married to thepany.
No wonder he''s overprotective on it.
At his young age, he almost managed it beyondparison.
Raven was so startled when Jordan''s hand suddenly touched hers. "Hey, what are you thinking?" He asked her without blinking.
"Nothing much. I''m just happy that we got to spend time like this." She said earnestly.
"Me too..." Jordan smiled sweetly at her.
