"Cousin!”
Lola's delicate and clear voice sounded pleasant to the ear. Zion couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and there was a doting smile on his face.
"You have grown up, yet you're still so impatient. If I lose my balance, I'll be knocked down by you."
"No, you are is the most powerful person!"
Lola's face was full of excitement.
Tristan shook his head helplessly and said, "Look, only you can control this little girl. I don't know what kind of husband she will find in the future."
"Why do you have to find your mother-in-law? Isn't it good to be alone? I will never get married in my life. I will stay with you two."
Lola's words made Tristan sigh again and say, "You'd better say it now. I don't know what will happen in the future."
"I'm telling the truth. Cousin, you can testify."
Lola wanted to drag Zion into the water, but Zion couldn't do anything about it.
Seeing the bag in Zion's hand, Lola's eyes lit up.
"Cousin, you got this for me?"
"Yes."
"Thank you! As expected, cousin loves me the most!"
Lola ran in happily with the gift in her hand.
Seeing her so happy, Zion couldn't help but think of what Evangeline would look like when she received the gift.
"Maybe she's even more excited than Huo Jiaojiao?" he thought.
Zion couldn't help looking forward to it.
Tristan invited Zion in.
Priscilla went out to participate in the red cross' donation, she hadn't come back yet. Tristan made him a pot of tea and said with a smile, "You used to look down on Evangeline, but now you have fallen into her hands. If you had known, you could have accepted it earlier."
Zion was a little depressed.
This was really his uncle, huh?
"Who knows? If uncle knew that you would be with your wife in the end, why didn't you marry her for the first time?"
"Bastard!"
Tristan gave him a punch, but he still said with a smile, "Your aunt and I are a natural couple. You and Evangeline are?"
"We are the only true pair."
"Tsk, tsk. Zion, you've changed."
Tristan couldn't look him in the eye, but Zion just smiled and asked, "Uncle, are you going to Uncle Sanchez's place for my marriage?"
"Yes, your parents didn't come. Since I have arrived in time, I have to come to support you. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed.
"Thank you, uncle.”
The two of them chatted for a while before the excitement in Lola's hands subsided. Only then did she think of her second cousin.
"Cousin, how long have you been here? Why don't you play with me for a few days? I'm not familiar with this place. With you here, I can feel safe."
Lola was imagining how dangerous and exciting it would be for Zion to take her to the ferris wheel and become a pirate ship.
Zion said awkwardly, "I'm afraid I can't. I have something to do these days."
"What?"
"It's a matter of life and death."
Zion's words were so serious that Lola was stunned.
"What is it?"
