At the celebration feast marking the completion of the theme park renovation, Linda spotted Daniel, whom she hadn't seen in years. She was taken aback at first.

He no longer resembled the cheerful, innocent boy she remembered. Experience had given him a sense of maturity and composure. His eyes held a coldness, and his demeanor exuded power that could instill fear in others.

Approaching Linda, they gazed at each other for a prolonged moment and exchanged smiles.

"You must be Cordelia, right?" Daniel asked, turning to the woman beside Linda. "You look just the same as when we were young. You haven't changed a bit!"

Cordelia smiled and replied, "You're too kind with your words. It's been years. I even have a grandchild now. How could I remain unchanged?"

"Both of you would still stand out in the crowd, even in your golden years," Daniel commented.

After a brief conversation with Cordelia, she departed, leaving Linda alone with her thoughts. Many things had changed, but it felt as if nothing had.

Daniel broke the silence, gesturing on a screen toward the renovated theme park and offering a detailed explanation. "I'm sure many kids will adore it," he said. "I can tell Sephy loves it!"

Linda smiled. "She mentioned that. She wants it to be like cotton candy, and you've truly made it that way. You're spoiling her!"

"She's not only your granddaughter but also a Quimby descendant. How could I not spoil her?"
