Mia felt a bit shy as Andre asked with a grin, "What flavor are you craving?"

"Barbecue~"

Andre chuckled affectionately, "You little foodie."

Then, smiling, he gave the order to a nearby chef.

After dinner on the boat, taking advantage of the remaining daylight, everyone went their separate ways.

Henry woke up, his little legs kicking and crying in his dad's arms. Back in the car, Andre lovingly said, "My warm little guy likes to sleep with his legs on daddy. That's how he gets his best sleep." Snuggling in his dad's arms for a bit, Henry slowly woke up, clutching his dad's shirt buttons and sitting on his lap.

Andre was about to start driving, holding Henry, but now Henry was wide awake in the driver's seat, staring intently at the big, round steering wheel.

Cars honked from the shore, "Andre, we're heading out first!"

Hearing the honking, Henry turned to look at the noisy cars. After a bout of crying, it was only when his father honked their car's horn that he realized: oh, our car has a horn too. "Uh-huh~" Henry got curious and hooked.

Whenever Andre didn't honk, Henry would throw a tantrum, sprawling in his dad's lap.

He cried as if he was being denied his favorite treat, his wails heart-wrenching.

When the other cars had left and the sun was setting over the calm lake, Andre picked up his little troublemaker again and, with his loving wife by his side, went for a walk by the ferry dock.

A gentle breeze blew past, and as the happy baby whimpered in his dad's arms, Mia pointed at a poplar tree ahead, suddenly gasping in surprise, "Oh! What's that?"

Henry's crying stopped abruptly as he followed his mom's gaze, not knowing what it was.

Andre carried his son over to the poplar tree, guiding his small hand to touch the tree trunk.

Henry's tiny hand reached out, touching the bark, then he turned his face, his eyelashes wet with tears, and laughed excitedly at his parents. "Ah~"

Mia touched the tree trunk and quickly withdrew her hand, pretending to be scared.

Seeing this, Henry laughed happily and silly. Mia feigned fear again, and Henry laughed even more joyfully, almost choking on his saliva, "Mmm-tickles."
