Alice herself knew her reason was not strong enough t o convince Joshua to give up the two children and leave with her. But still, she gritted her teeth secretly and pulled on Joshua's sleeve in a whine, putting in a last-ditch effort. "Joshua..."
Luna yawned and turned away, right at that moment she saw the carousel had started rotating. She lowered her eyes and whispered in Nellie's ears. Nellie pursed her lips and stood up, carrying her teddy bear i n her hands. "Daddy, since you're so busy, you don’t want to win the toy for me. After all, you haven't given me any meaningful presents before, I'm used to it!"
With that, the little girl held Luna's hand and the mother and daughter pair headed in the direction of the carousel.
Seeing as the eyesores were finally gone, Alice heaved a sigh of relief, "Joshua, let’s..."
"Daddy."
Before she could finish her sentence, Neil appeared out of nowhere, holding four tickets to the roller coaster in his hand. "Let’s try out this ride, okay?"
As he spoke, he even turned and glanced at Alice. "Our family of four can go and try out the ride together, okay?"
Joshua raised his slips in a smile, then reached out
and took the tickets from Neil. "Okay."
He turned and looked at Alice. "Since you don't want t o go to the hospital by yourself, you should stay and accompany the kids. Luna is right, the timeframe when she was most upset has already passed, we can go visit her tomorrow."
With that, he reached out and held her hand. "I remember you once wrote in your diary that you hope one day, we can be like any other couple, and try out all the exciting rides in the amusement park."
The man looked at her, his eyes filled with deep and unfailing affection. "I was too busy before and never really took the time to spend time with you. Today is our chance."
He spoke solemnly as if by accompanying her like this, he really wanted to make up for the loss and regret he caused all those years ago.
But Alice paled as his words drifted into her ears. She never expected Luna, who looked all soft and gentle o n the surface, would write something like this in her diary. What was even more unexpected was that not only did Neil want to drag her onto the roller coaster, even Joshua wanted to!
