Baber looked up in surprise at his mother, who was wearing a gentle expression.

Ellinor reached out and gently ruffled his hair. “Yes, sweetie? Do you want to go to the amusement park, or would you rather head home? It’s all up to you. I’ve cleared my afternoon schedule just to spend time with you guys.”

Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What did you do?”

Baber looked stunned. “I… I hit someone.”

Baber couldn’t believe he was being praised. His large, anxious eyes widened in shock. “Mom… I really didn’t do anything wrong?”
