Jenna laughed as she ran ahead, paying no mind to her mom's words. "Haha... Ah..."

Gilbert followed closely behind, his eyes filled with adoration as he looked at Jenna, "The lawn's soft, you won't get hurt."

Sunset Ridge Community was an old neighborhood, and the nearby park was both small and rundown, with hardly any maintenance on the grass. "Look! Look!"

Jenna pointed excitedly all around, "So many big trees! Pretty flowers! Mr. Gilbert, your house is so big!"

Hearing this, a pang of sadness hit Gilbert, darkening his expression, "Do you like it here, Jenna?"

"Yeah! I love it!"

Gilbert felt even more bittersweet, his Adam's apple bobbing, "This is your home too, Jenna."
