Jaxon glanced at Joshua, who was hiding behind his dad, and said honestly, “Dad, I didn’t promise anything. It was Joshua who wanted to go to the aquarium and agreed with Gianna Joshua, who was mentioned by him, had actually forgotten about the agreement with Gianna. He followed along just to play with Jaxon.

But since he had promised Gianna, he couldn’t go back on his word.

It was Joshua, not Jaxon, who agreed to go to the aquarium, so he said directly, “Dad, you can take Joshua with you. I want to play with Leila.

“I could take the car home at night.”

Joshua, who was hiding behind, was about to echo when he heard his father speak up. “Joshua, you begged to go to the aquarium yourself, and now Gianna is waiting for you at the door. Are you going to change your mind at the last minute?”

Finally, Jaxon stayed as he had wished.

Gabriel led Joshua downstairs and Joshua kept looking back.

Joshua hesitated and said, “Dad, can I come and play with Jaxon next weekend?” Gabriel looked into Joshua’s expectant eyes. He couldn’t bear to refuse Joshua. “When Leila’s dad
