Chapter 78

The night breeze was chilly, rustling the leaves with a soft whisper.

Other than the unknown sounds of animals in the forest, there was only the faint rustling sound of footsteps.

After walking for a long time, Kelvin looked back and could only see a few faint glimmers of light through the trees.

He shone his flashlight and saw a small pavilion diagonally in front of him.

Stepping on the green brick path beneath his feet, he walked

over.

“Daddy… Yvonne’s childish voice was especially clear in the quiet environment.

“Mm. Kelvin lowered his gaze to her and noticed that her mouth was covered by her coat. Thoughtfully, he adjusted the fluffy jacket, pulling it down slightly.

“What’s wrong?” His voice was low and hoarse, adding some warmth to the night.

“I want to walk by myself.” Yvonne looked up at him with wide, expectant eyes.

In the dim light, her delicate face resembled a little doll, like a lucky charm come to life.

Kevin frowned at her words.

He adjusted his hold on the little girl before asking, “Am I not holding you comfortably?”

She quickly shook her head. “It’s comfy! But I just want to walk by myself.”

“Alright.” Kelvin didn’t argue. Before setting her down, he gently asked, “Can you stand steadily?”

“Sure.

He bent down and placed Yvonne on the ground. The moment he let go, his arms suddenly felt empty. It was something he wasn’t quite used to.

He placed the flashlight on the stone table in the pavilion behind them, casting a warm glow. He crouched down, carefully supporting Yvonne as she took her first steps forward.

Their shadows stretched long in the light, painting a story–like scene of a father, naturally cold and distant, now showing a striking contrast as he gently guarded his unsteady, toddling daughter.

The moment Yvonne touched the ground, she wobbled a little.

She swayed and fell straight into Kelvin’s arms.

Yvonne turned around and realized that her father was right behind her.

After a few seconds, she got up from his arms and slowly walked toward the trees beside the stone path.

She walked slowly, while Kelvin followed behind.

She soon bumped into a large tree and, feeling a bit tired, leaned against it to rest.
