In that moment, Rick felt that there was no need to talk about the past anymore. It was all in the past. He wanted to withdraw his gaze, but he still watched Shane and Charlotte leave. Only when they returned to their seats did he continue walking with Kendall.
Kendall tilted her head and looked at Rick. "It's fine if you keep staring at Charlotte. I definitely won't be jealous. But why are you staring at Shane? Have you fallen in love with him too?"
Fallen in love with Shane...
Rick stretched out his hand and flicked Kendall's forehead. "What do you think about all day long?"
Kendall stuck out her tongue at him and tilted her head innocently. "I think about you all the time. You're always on my mind."
"I'm not that foolish. It seems that I don't take up any space in your head." After Rick said that with a smile, he took her to her seat and pointed to the puzzle that Sheryl and Olive were doing. "Go play with them. I'll stay here and rest for a while."
"Alright."
Kendall played with Sheryl and Olive. Rick was watching the news on his phone. After a while, Kendall ran to him with a jigsaw puzzle in her hand, looking miserable. "Rick..."
"Oh!"
Rick couldn't help sighing, but secretly he was happy about it.
They went to a resort with some very beautiful hot springs for their vacation. Braden booked all the rooms in advance. Therefore, although the scenery was enchanting, there were not many people. Most of them were people who had stayed here before, or they were hotel staff.
Braden brought Anne to greet everyone. When he saw Rick standing intimately close to Kendall, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Rick, you don't look very good."
"If you did puzzles with my sister, I'm afraid you wouldn't be in a good mood either." Rick rubbed his temple. "Kendall's completely brainless."
"Call me stupid if you want, but why do you have to say I'm brainless? I have a brain, just not too many brain cells." Kendall felt very wronged.
Rick did not express any opinion on this. He was willing to take Kendall on the battlefield, but he was not willing to solve the puzzle with her. After all, when she was on the battlefield, he could hide Kendall away, but with puzzles... Not only was she unhelpful, but she also made trouble. She was not as good as the two children.
Braden chuckled and waved to the people behind him. "Give me your luggage. I'll help you put it away first. You can get your room keys at the front desk. You guys settle the rooming arrangements."
The rooming arrangements were a problem. After all, there were two children with them.
Unexpectedly, Sheryl grabbed Olive's hand and pressed a room card into it. She made it clear that they wouldn't bother with the adults. The two kids wanted to stay in the same room together.
Charlotte didn't say anything. After all, Sheryl was used to being independent at home. As for Olive, Avery pretty much let Olive run wild. Once the children were taken care of, the remaining couples each chose a two-person suite. Only Avery took a single room.
Peter and Zoe took their room cards first and left. They had a lot of equipment to prepare. Although they were on a holiday, they had a lot of work to do. The high efficiency and progress of their work were correlated directly to their equipment.
After they put away their luggage, Charlotte received a call from Mrs. Fuller Senior saying that she had arrived as well. Charlotte immediately brought Shane downstairs to pick them up.
"Grandma, why didn't you tell me you're here?" Shane asked, frowning.
"Isn't it the same if I tell Lottie?" Mrs. Fuller Senior snorted.
Shane said helplessly, "I'm your grandson."
"She is my granddaughter-in-law. Isn't it, Lottie?"
"Grandmother." Charlotte smiled as she approached Mrs. Fuller Senior and hugged her. "In my next life, I'll be your granddaughter. Shane can step aside."
"Good, that would be great. Who wants to look at Shane's ugly face all day long?"
"That's right."
Charlotte was getting bolder. She even dared to joke about his relationship with his family in front of him. However, this was also good. At least it showed that, for her, the Fuller family was no longer an unspeakable topic.
