S21 43. Picnic on the Beach

“Come on,” Philip persuaded again. “You said you wanted to learn new skills. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn to socialize.”

“You think I’m a weirdo?” Barbara squinted.

Philip laughed lightly. “If not, let’s go this Saturday. After the picnic, we can hang out for a while at the mall.”

Barbara’s eyes suddenly brightened. She seemed to find a good reason to accept the offer with the impression of being forced.

“Can we go to the mall after the picnic?”

Philip nodded. “So, we’re going picnic?” Philip stuck his little finger through the iron bars.

Barbara suppressed a smile. Glancing in another direction, she linked her finger to Philip’s. “Deal.”

Since that second, Barbara’s heart couldn’t stop pounding. She couldn’t wait for Saturday to come. They were so enthusiastic when the D-day arrived, they left early in the morning.

“Where are the others?” Melanie asked as she entered the dining room. There were only four sets of tableware available.

Frank raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know? They went on a picnic.

Melanie’s jaw dropped. “Picnic? Who?”

Frank and Kara glanced at each other. They thought it was strange that Melanie didn’t know. In fact, the twins were very excited to welcome Saturday, even Barbara and Philip too, although they didn’t mention it.

“The four of them-“.

“Four?”

Frank gasped, not expecting his mother to interrupt with a shriek.

“Yes. Louis, Emily, Barbara, and Philip.”

Melanie snorted in disbelief. “That brat….” She put her hands on her hips and gritted her teeth.

“Where do they go?”

Frank blinked. “To the beach, but they didn’t mention the specific location.”

While grimacing, Melanie grabbed her phone. She tried to contact Barbara. However, for the first time in history, her daughter’s number
