The basic color of his outfit is black. The overcoat should be long, but it’s just above his knees.
He looks like a hipster in the book, wearing a scarf knitted by Miya. His long legs peeping over the
overcoat.
“Daddy, you’re gorgeous!” Joey runs to Alex and hugs his leg, “I will marry a guy as handsome as
daddy in the future.”
Miya looks at them with smile on her face. Alex opens the car door for her, the moment she gets into
the car, she says to him, “You’re really gorgeous today!”
Her words work more than thousands of compliments from others.
So Alex smiles all the way to the destination.
Joey looks at her silly daddy, suddenly feels regret for what she praised him just now. She wants to
marry a handsome guy in the future, but this guy should not be as silly as her daddy.
There are a lot of people already assemble along the lakeside. They heard there would be a firework
show tonight along at the lake.
There was no such custom here before. There were firework shows, but they usually happened during
Lantern Festival. Miya wears a dark coat, and a scarf same as Alex. The couple hold hands, three
fabulous kids walking in front of them. The crowd all give this family a second glance.
This family has been used to being watched by crowd, so they walk forward as normal. It’s very
crowded, Alex holds Miya’s hands tightly.
But the three kids are too small, they are soon out of sight in the crowd.
“Where are the kids?” Miya first notices the three children are missing, she turns around and keeps
looking for them ahead.
The three kids also know they get lost.
“Shall we call the police?” Joey says first, she learnt it from books and teachers. She takes her mobile
and is bout to make a call.
Ben stops her, “How old are we? We don’t need to find the police. Let’s go to the lakeside. I remember
daddy booked a stand so that mommy can watch the fireworks clearly.”
Andre thinks for a moment, “Ben’s right. Let’s go there, then make a call to daddy and mommy.”
Joey deletes the three numbers on the mobile, and she dials Miya’s number.
“Joey, where are you?”
Once Miya picks up the mobile phone, she asks anxiously.
“Mommy, we’re going to that stand. Daddy and you go there later.” Joey tells her what she discussed
with her big brothers.
“All right. You should try to avoid the crowd from being hurt.” Miya almost forgets, her kids are different
with others’, they are the most gifted children.
Why did she so anxious just now?
Alex looks at Miya’s changeable expressions, he starts to smile. He fondles her head, touching the soft
hair, “You’ve been thinking too much recently.”
The breeze blows Miya’s face and her hair. When she hears what Alex says, she laughs immediately.
Indeed, she has been thinking too much recently.
“Dear, I don’t know what happen to me. I often have the feeling that one day you will leave me behind.”
Actually she hasn’t told him one thing. Before the day they met Susan, she had an illusory dream in the
tent.
But she saw the back of Alex in her dream, he took away the three kids and left her.
So when Susan appeared, she was afraid. This woman almost made her lose the whole family.
Yet, seemingly Alex still in love with Susan at that time, she thinks that’s wrong to blame everything on
Susan.
Anyway, the more she thinks, the more she’s in the depths of despair.
Hearing what Miya says, Alex doesn’t take it seriously, he says, “Don’t think about the irrelevant things.
Our kids and me will always stay by your side.”
“Really?” she’s not sure. Although that dream was illusory, it was too horrible.
Alex nods his head to confirm it. People say a pregnant woman will become foolish for three years.
Would she be foolish for nine years as she gave birth to three children at one time?
No, she’s still a smart woman before six years.
There is only one reason can make a smart woman become foolish. That’s because of love.
Once again Miya keeps that dream to herself, she safely holds Alex’s hands.
Suddenly, the sky is broken by a boom with a flower-shaped firework.
The firework show starts like that. The light in the sky illuminates the face of spectators. Miya also lifts
up her head, enjoying the view.
But Alex drags Miya and walks to the stand quickly. He’s afraid that once he delays the apology from
kids, he won’t live easily for the next few days.l
“Why daddy and mommy haven’t come yet?” Joey asks but with no smile. She looks down from the
stand.
The spectators are crowded, she can see neither of them.
“We can only trust daddy. If they’re not coming, the last firework will be let off. How can we catch up
with the apology to mommy be then?”
The “booking” of the stand is just the occupation by a group of people led by Randy. When they see the
three kids coming, they offer their seats to them.
So there are a lot of people on the stand. Due to the large amount of people getting together, a lot of
kids also get lost, but the police can help most of them.
But there is a kid wears shabby clothes and is barefoot standing near them. When the three children
sometimes feel upsetting and sometimes laughing, the only shine eyes watch them slowly turn to
hatred.
“Kiddo, do you get separated from your parents?”
Ben and Andre have started to recite the poems, Joey is bored so she find someone to have a little
chat.
“Miss Joey, you’d better not to talk with beggars.” a security guy glance at that child, noticing he is
apparently in a different circle with Joey, as Joey wears brandy outfit from head to toe.
Joey looks at that security guy and says indignantly, “What kind of beggar? He just get separated from
his parents.”
When the security guy hears what she says, he’s too embarrased to say anything. After all she’s the
daughter of his boss, and he is a handyman.
When the kid wears shabby clothes hear what Joey says, there’s a touch of surprise in his bright eyes.
The seemingly annoying princess has become pretty in his eyes.
“I...can’t find my daddy and mommy.” the child says in a husky voice. The voice due to the long-term
mute. He heads down, as if he is frustrating.
“That will be fine! You can ask the police for help, our policeman is powerful.” Joey fondles the child’s
head, she learned it from Miya who used to comfort her.
