“Aileen, I hope this is the last time I’ll discuss this issue with you, because I will never let my children
enter the entertainment industry,” Miya speaks firmly.
“I…” Aileen wants to try to persuade her, but Miya has left angrily.
She still hesitates as she looks at Miya’s shadow. She has never thought that her sister-in-law will be
this angry. Looks like she can’t bring this thing up again anytime soon.
Coincidentally, Joey who is coming out from the restroom overhears their conversation.
There is an indescribable disappointment in her heart, but she doesn’t want her mom to be unhappy
either. So, she just pretends as if nothing has happened and goes to sleep.
The next day, Richard stops his car in front of the gates of Alex’s house early in the morning.
When Aileen receives Richard’s call, she hops towards him excitedly.
“Richard, I’ve never thought that you’ll fetch me to work.” Aileen feels that the incident from yesterday is
still a dream, but now that Richard is standing in front of her, her heart is about to explode from
happiness.
There is a wide smile on Richard’s face. “It’s normal for a boyfriend to fetch his own girlfriend to work.”
“You’re right. However, I’m still happy to be able to see you here.” Aileen’s excitement never fade away
as she speaks.
Richard softly caresses her hair.
At that time, Miya walks out of the house. She can’t miss the scene that is unfolding in front of her.
Coincidentally, she has eye contact with Richard. A cunning smirk appears at the corner of his lips,
sending chills down her spine.
Why does she feel that he’s a creepy guy?
Her worries increase when she sees the excited Aileen that is standing beside him. She is worried that
Aileen will be the first person to be harmed.
Alex walks out of the house later. He thinks that Miya is thinking about Carmen when he sees her
worried face.
He walks closer to her and uses his hand to push away the hair strands on her face. He speaks with a
soft and warm voice, “You don’t have to worry about Carmen. I will handle it.”
Miya forces a smile when she hears his voice.
“Let’s head over to the company now.” She says hurriedly as she thought of the betting between Alex
and Adam. At the same time, she has hopes that the company will be better as they progress.
“Let’s go to the theme park today.” Alex mischievously blurts, surprising her on the spot.
The three kids who are hiding at the side jump out after Alex’s announcement.
Joey is the first one to step forward. She confidently pats her chest while saying, “Dad says that he
wants to follow us and grandmother to the theme park.”
Miya glares at her husband.
On the other hand, Alex has a proud look on his face. “I feel like we’ve been stressful these few days
so it’s time to de-stress a bit.”
“But…” Miya still can’t stop thinking about the company.
Alex immediately knows what she’s worrying about. He then thinks of a solution. “If my beloved wife is
so worried about the company, I have no choice but to return to the company to work.”
He pretends to walk towards the door as he speaks. His smart children play along and hold him back,
not letting him go.
“Dad, it’s only fun if our whole family go to the theme park together,” Joey shouts.
“Mom, please persuade dad. We’ve already taken a day off for today,” Andre begs.
“Yes, I think it will only be fun if dad, mom and grandmother join us,” Ben adds.
They continue to persuade Miya non-stop. Miya can’t help but to smile at her children’s actions.
Carmen walks out to join them.
“Can it be that you don’t want to listen to my words now? I say that the whole family will have fun
today.” Carmen says in a strict tone, but there is a wide smile hanging on her lips.
Miya is defeated by their efforts.
“Grandmother, since when do you start to side them?”
Carmen clears her throat before saying proudly, “I am the mastermind of this plan.”
Miya is surprised. She finally admit her fate and agree to go as she wishes for Carmen’s happiness.
“This is great. We can go to the theme park together!”
The kids are excited. Joey is the most excited one among them.
Originally, there’s still worries in Miya’s heart. However, when she sees her kids are excited about this,
all that’s left in her heart is happiness. She decides to play and spend quality time with them.
They then start their journey towards the theme park.
Together, they go on many rides and play many games. The rides are similar and not too intense, like
the merry-go-round.
“Mom, I want to ride on that roller coaster.” Joey’s heart pumps in excitement when she sees the roller
coaster going up and down. Even though she is a little bit scared of it, she is a fan of adventurous rides
like these.
Miya immediately shuts down her hopes. “Joey, little kids shouldn’t ride on these rides.”
Joey pouts unhappily but doesn’t dare to go against her mom.
“Then can we go to the horror house?” Joey has no choice but to abandon the thought of riding a roller
coaster. Her heart moves again when she sees the horror house that is on the side.
Miya hopelessly shakes her head and squats down to Joey’s level. She touches her forehead and
explains, “These things are too intense for a little kid like you. When you grow up, I will bring you here
to experience the horror house and the roller coaster, okay? It’s not safe if you go in alone.”
Why does she like intense things like these?
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about that. I can protect her,” Andre says confidently.
Ben joins in and says, “I can protect Joey too.”
These kids, if they’re on the same boat, she has a feeling that she will succumb to them sooner or later.
“Don’t you guys listen to my words nowadays?”
