Chapter 361 Off to the Zoo
“Nelson! Daddy… Trevor!”
After calling out “Daddy” once, Nina suddenly remembered Benjamin’s warning from earlier.
Benjamin had told her that if she called anyone else “Daldy” again, he’d bring Randall to “chat” with her.
Nina had been pretty scared of Randall lately.
She quickly corrected herself. Her chubby little hand banged on the door even harder.
The door soon opened.
Nelson rolled over in his small wheelchair to greet her.
Nina walked in with her hands clasped behind her back, looking every bit like a tiny leader inspecting her domain.
Trevor had already changed clothes and was brushing his teeth and washing his face.
When he saw Nina come in, he didn’t try to shoo her away.
He had already experienced firsthand how impossible she was to get rid of.
He knew chasing Nina away wouldn’t work.
And after last night’s episode, he also knew that Nina had somehow calmed him down.
He couldn’t explain it and didn’t intend to dwell on it or ask questions.
“Nelson, eat brekfast?”
Nina didn’t ask to play this time. She wandered around the room while inviting Nelson to come eat.
Nelson was about to agree when Nina suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Wow. Pretty lady!”
She pointed at the photo on the table and said earnestly “So pretty! Nina play her.”
Nina announced that she had played with the lady. Nelson didn’t quite understand what she meant, but he assumed she was making it up.
Nelson lowered his voice, speaking very softly, “Nina, that’s my mommy. I’ve never seen my mommy.”
Nina replied seriously, “Nina see!”
She tilted her chubby face up and earnestly told Nelson, “She hug Nina!”
In the dream she’d had right before waking, Nina had first seen Grace standing at the church entrance, waiting for something unknown.
Nina kept watching her, desperately wanting to run over
After struggling for what felt like forever, she finally reached Grace!

Grace had seen her.
Grace had picked her up and held her.
They played together. Nina tugged at Grace’s hand, trying to pull her back home, but Grace seemed not to understand.
In the end, Nina couldn’t bring Grace back.
She babbled on about her adventure with Grace, her words so jumbled that even Trevor couldn’t follow
Trevor didn’t pay much attention.
After finishing getting ready, he prepared to leave the room.
Before he did, he didn’t forget to feed Nelson breakfast.
He carried both children to the dining room.
Trevor had initially been completely unwilling to hold Nina-or even let her touch him. Now, he automatically picked her up before she could climb his leg, thoroughly tamed.
Nina really was a master at handling grown-ups.
Breakfast passed quietly. Afterward, the adults each had their own plans for the day.
Nina looked at her mommy and daddy, then at Trevor-the new friend she’d just gotten close to-and immediately decided: today she was sticking with Trevor!
Trevor hadn’t taken her out yesterday!
Today she wanted to go out with Trevor!
“We go zoo?”
While playing on the phone earlier, Nina had seen videos of the zoo.
There were so many cute animals-she wanted to go see them.
When Nina made her request, Amelia immediately moved to drag her away.
“If you want to go to the zoo, let Daniel take you. Trevor is busy-he can’t take you.”
Amelia knew Trevor didn’t handle children.
He barely spent time with his own son-there was no way he’d take Nina.
She hadn’t even considered asking Trevor to babysit.
But to her shock, just as Nina looked ready to burst into ears, Trevor-looking as it someone had possessed him-agreed expressionlessly to take her out.
Of course, he wasn’t taking only Nina-Nelson was coming too.
Nelson had never gone out with his father before. His eyes lit up as he looked at Trevor, and that hopeful

gaze instantly softened Amelia’s heart.
She didn’t refuse anymore.
