“Damn it!“

In the amusement park’s changing room, Alice unwillingly slipped out of her long, red dress and into a long shirt and long pants that the staff provided.

After leaving the changing room, she ran into Neil who had long since been waiting for her at the entrance.

“Ms. Alice, our beautiful day has just started.“

The little guy leaned on the door, licking on the new ice cream that Joshua bought for him and winked in Alice’s direction. “Later I would like to invite you to ride on the roller coaster, the drop tower and the swing pendulum ride too! “

He frowned slightly. “Ms. Alice, are you afraid of heights? I remember there’s also bungee jumping facilities in this amusement park.“ As he said that, he turned and glimpsed at her, “Initially, I planned to enjoy those rides with Mommy Luna, but now that she hurt her shoulder, I have no choice but to invite you. Since you’re here today to bond with us children, then you wouldn’t reject an invitation from your beloved son and daughter to enjoy such exciting rides, right?“

Alice trembled slightly. She hated all these exciting, gravity-defying rides the most! If it was not because she wanted to teach Luna a lesson, she would not have come here at all! Her initial plan was to act all

lovey-dovey with Joshua in front of Luna and take away her chance of spending time with the children when necessary.

As long as Luna was unhappy, she would be happy.

But now…

Not only did she fail at causing trouble for Luna, instead she was made a fool of the moment they entered the amusement park!

She glared at Neil viciously, expression venomous. “ What do you want?“

“Eyesores should know when they’re not wanted.“ Neil took a bite of his ice cream, and smiled in her direction. “It’s such a beautiful weekend, you should go and visit your father who’s in jail, or perhaps

your mother, who’s in a bad mood because her husband is in jail. What do you think?“

Alice gritted her teeth, glared at Neil viciously again, and strode away.

Looking at the woman’s retreating back, huffing in vexation, Neil lifted the pendant hanging from his necklace and laughed cheekily, “Nigel, the idea you gave me is perfect! You’re the best! “

Nigel’s flat voice drifted in from the pendant, “I read up on her, she’s a germaphobe, has a fear of heights, and hates exhilarating rides like these.“

Neil smiled, his eyes curving into little crescents. “ But how did you find information about her? You already know her true identity?“

On the other end of the phone, Nigel hummed flatly in reply, then hurriedly changed the subject. “We must have chased Alice away.“ “Then what about Joshua?“

“I just hacked into the surveillance system, Nellie seems to be having fun with him…“

Neil frowned. “Forget it, let him stay then. We’re leaving tomorrow, and Nellie likes him so much.“

In the amusement park outside.

Joshua was shooting at balloons with a BB gun. Nellie stood beside him, hugging a huge teddy bear. She smiled happily and glanced at Luna, who was sitting at the side. “Mommy, my Daddy is great, isn’t he?“

Luna smiled and ruffled the little girl’s hair, but remained silent.

The moment Alice stalked out of the dressing room angrily, the first scene that entered her eyes was of three of them, interacting with each other harmoniously, as if they were a happy family.

Her hands clenched tightly into fists beside her.

She strode toward them, and dove into Joshua’s arms the moment he put down the BB gun. “Joshua, I just got a call. My mother’s condition has worsened, and the news that my father is in jail upset her.“

She raised her eyes and looked at him pitifully. “Can you accompany me to the hospital to visit my mother, please?“

Nellie pouted unhappily the moment the words left her mouth. “No, don’t! “

“Daddy promised me just now, he would make szo points, and win me the biggest teddy bear as a parting gift! “

Alice secretly rolled her eyes at her and raised her head, her voice soft and gentle, “Joshua, since Nellie wants it so much, let’s buy the bear and give it to her, then can you accompany me to the hospital to visit my mother?“

Nellie pursed her lips. “I don’t want you to buy it! I want Daddy to exchange his points for it! A present that you buy with money is different from one that you earn with your effort and hard work! “

Alice frowned and glared at her. “How is it different! You’ll just get the same teddy bear! “ With that, she raised her head. “Joshua, visiting my mother is more important, I’m worried something will happen to her can you accompany me, please?“

She definitely did not want to continue staying here and be tortured by that little bastard, Neil. But if she left by herself and left Joshua here with them…

Was that not exactly what Luna wanted?

At this thought, Alice even pulled on Joshua’s arm and started whining, “Joshua…“

Looking at her like this, a laugh escaped Luna’s tight lips.

“Even if your mother was upset, she should have been the most upset yesterday. You weren’t even by

her side yesterday, why are you suddenly such a filial daughter today?”

With that, she changed into a comfortable position and leaned back on the bench, holding Nellie’s hand a s she laughed lightly, ”Besides, didn’t you just say this morning that you didn’t want to leave Neil and Nellie, that’s why you came along. We haven’t even been here for an hour, and you want to leave already?”

Luna was looking at Alice when she said these words.

Alice clearly read the taunt and condescension in her words. She narrowed her eyes viciously. She knew Luna was saying these as revenge for her threatening words this morning.

”Alice.” Joshua frowned slightly, pushing Alice away from him. ”Luna is right. This morning before we left, you put in so much effort to convince me to come along with you and have fun with the children. And now we just arrived but you’re already rushing to leave.”

”Exactly.” Nellie took the fruit juice that Lucas just bought for her and sucked hard on the straw. ”Neil even said he wants to ride on the roller coaster and drop tower with Ms. Alice later! ”

She bit her lip, turned, and looked at Joshua. ”Joshua. will you accompany me to the hospital, please? I’m really worried about my mother… ”

”If you’ re worried, you can go by yourself. ” Nellie sucked in another mouthful of juice. ”Daddy still needs to win me the big teddy bear! ”

Alice bit her lip at the little girl’s words. Before she could say anything, Joshua opened his mouth and said faintly, ”Since you’re so worried about your mother , ask Lucas to drive you home.”

Alice herself knew her reason was not strong enough to convince Joshua to give up the two children and leave with her. But still, she gritted her teeth secretly and pulled on Joshua’s sleeve in a whine, putting in a last-ditch effort. “Joshua…“

Luna yawned and turned away, right at that moment she saw the carousel had started rotating. She lowered her eyes and whispered in Nellie’s ears.

Nellie pursed her lips and stood up, carrying her teddy bear in her hands. “Daddy, since you’re so busy, you don’t want to win the toy for me. After all, you haven’t given me any meaningful presents before, I’m used to it!“

With that, the little girl held Luna’s hand and the mother and daughter pair headed in the direction of the carousel.

Seeing as the eyesores were finally gone, Alice heaved a sigh of relief, “Joshua, let’s…“

“Daddy.“

Before she could finish her sentence, Neil appeared out of nowhere, holding four tickets to the roller coaster in his hand. “Let’s try out this ride, okay? “

As he spoke, he even turned and glanced at Alice. “ Our family of four can go and try out the ride together, okay?“

Joshua raised his slips in a smile, then reached out and took the tickets from Neil. “Okay.“

He turned and looked at Alice. ”Since you don’t want to go to the hospital by yourself, you should stay and accompany the kids. Luna is right, the timeframe when she was most upset has already passed, we can go visit her tomorrow.”

With that, he reached out and held her hand. ”I remember you once wrote in your diary that you hope one day, we can be like any other couple, and try out all the exciting rides in the amusement park.”

The man looked at her, his eyes filled with deep and unfailing affection. ”I was too busy before and never really took the time to spend time with you. Today is our chance.”

He spoke solemnly as if by accompanying her like this, he really wanted to make up for the loss and regret he caused all those years ago.

But Alice paled as his words drifted into her ears. She never expected Luna, who looked all soft and gentle on the surface, would write something like this in her diary. What was even more unexpected was that not only did Neil want to drag her onto the roller coaster, even Joshua wanted to!

She grit her teeth, cursed Luna viciously in her heart, then glanced at the time. ”Joshua, I ‘in still worried about my mother… ”

With that, she sucked in a deep breath, her expression bellying her awkwardness and reluctance. ”I know you want to accompany me, but you want to spend time with the children too. But to me, my parents who gave birth to me and raised me are still more important… They’ve gotten on in age too, they don’t have much time left with me. But we still have a lot of time with each other… I think I should go now.“

She turned and strode away, as if she was making an escape.

Looking at her retreating back, a cheeky, self- satisfied smile appeared on Neil’s lips.

However, Joshua was deeply moved by this incident. This was the Luna Gibson of his memories. A filial daughter, kind and gentle. But the remaining regret that he had never truly spent time with her… It would have to wait.

“Mr. Lynch.“ Neil turned and looked at Joshua. “ Since I already bought the tickets, they’ll go to waste if we don’t use them. Why not ask Mommy Luna and Nellie to join us, and the four of us can ride it together?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the two girls, one big and one small, who were riding on the carousel.

Their bright, beaming smiles were identical.

Joshua watched them for a while before turning and glanced at Neil. “Her injury… is she okay?“

“She should be fine.“
