An hour later, six people disembarked from their car outside the amusement park.
“Daddy, pick me up!”
Melody held up her arms and clutched Earl‘s neck.
Her soft body smooshed up against his chest made him feel a touch of warmth in his desolate heart.
Although she was not his biological daughter, they were still blood relatives. She could even be his next
of kin to some extent.
There was nothing strange about an uncle spoiling his niece.
Earl carried Melody and walked in front.
Adina followed behind, an unreadable expression in her eyes.
Before they left the house, she had spoken with Mr. Brown and deduced that, in Duke‘s twenty–odd
years of life, his greatest trauma had been the death of his father.
She did not know how the late Mr. Winters died, but she should be able to help Duke‘s primary identity
regain control by reminding him that his father loved him.
“Hal, why aren‘t you with Daddy?” Adina asked with a smile.” Your daddy just looks a little meaner now,
but he still loves you very much.”
“Hmph!” Harold crossed his arms and huffed, “Daddy only likes Mel. He hasn‘t even looked me in the
eye once today. I feel so mad thinking about it!”
George gave Harold a look and said, “You‘re not as cute as Mel, nor as pretty, why would Daddy want
to pay attention to you?”
Harold was speechless.
‘Is he really my blood brother? Why is he so mean…?‘
Adina chuckled and said, “Daddy is taking Melody to the merry go-round, do you want to go, too?”
“Yes! Of course, I want to go!”
Harold hopped off to join Melody.
George and Alden exchanged looks before they followed as well.
They understood very well that this trip to the amusement park was specially arranged by Mommy, not
just for her children, but also for Daddy
Whatever Mommy wanted to do, they were willing to cooperate.
The two adults and four children all got on the merry–go–round. Melody snuggled into Earl‘s bosom
while Adina sat with Harold in her arms, and George and Alden chose a horse each. The carousel
started to turn when the music began playing.
For some reason, Adina began to reminisce about her childhood.
She should thank Aaron and Ruby for lying to her for eighteen years; at least she was happy during
those ignorant eighteen years.
Since she had no trauma from those eighteen years of life, even if she lost two of her children after
that, she was able to recover very quickly from it.
On the other hand, Duke lost his father when he was fifteen. Since then, it had left him scarred to the
point of developing a split personality disorder.
“Hopefully, the children can bring him back.‘
When the children‘s song ended, they got off the carousel horses.
This was Earl‘s first time in an amusement park.
He had always envied watching other people being able to go to amusement parks. But he was an
orphan, he had no means for such extravagance , like an amusement park trip. But today, he could
treat it as fulfilling a childhood regret.
He was in a good mood, so with a slight smile, he asked, “Mel, there‘s cotton candy over there, do you
want some?”
The little girl nodded vigorously. “Yes, I want pink cotton candy!”
Earl nodded and was about to take a step toward it…
