Chapter 912

"This was the happiest Children's Day I've ever had in my life."

Tarquin turned to look at her, "From now on, I'll make every year happier than the last for you."

The two shared a smile, surrounded by pink bubbles of joy.

After making sure the grown-up was happy, Tarquin returned to the candy store to delight the younger one.

Baby was playing with four little stuffed animals and a bunny doll, giggling with joy.

Elysia couldn't help but ask Tarquin, "Are you sure Baby can stay with us tonight?"

"Absolutely! Don't worry!"

Reassured, Elysia joined the children in their fun, playing along with them.

They played until late afternoon when Tarquin finally said, "Baby, shall we go home and see your Children's Day present?"

Baby was surprised, "There's another present?"

"Of course, the flowers this morning were just the start. The real present is at home, and I promise, Baby, you're going to love it!"

The little girl's face was flushed with excitement, her big eyes wide with surprise.
