Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 111~ Moments to remember

Days came as quickly as they went.

On one weekend, Ryan and Lora took the kids to the arcade.

The sound of laughter and flashing lights filled the bustling arcade as Ryan led his family through the rows of flashing games and prize machines.

Ryan grinned as he held up a stack of tokens. He glanced at the twins and said, "Who's excited to have fun?"

"MEEEE!" Ella, as usual, jumped happily, reaching for the tokens.

She said, "I want to play so many games, Daddy."

Ryan glanced at Ethan and asked, "What about you, buddy?"

"Anything is fine," Ethan replied calmly.

"He's excited too, Daddy. He's just shy to say," Ella remarked and the adults chuckled.

Ethan rolled his eyes at his sister but he didn't say anything to refute her words.

Ella moved from one station to another, her excitement infectious. It was like she didn't know what game to choose. Regardless, she seemed to be having fun. Ryan noticed that Ethan's gaze seemed to linger on the racing game. He smiled and asked, "Ethan, son, do you want to race with your old man?"

Ethan's eyes sparkled before he quickly masked his emotions. He cleared his throat and replied, "I don't play childish-"

"Come on, it's going to be fun!" Ryan said, carrying him and taking him towards the racing game.

Seeing this, Lora followed Ella as she continued to explore, leaving the boys to bond.

At the same time, Ryan settled Ethan into his seat before he took his place beside him.
