Chapter 533
Alice herself knew her reason was not strong enough to 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 in 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 to 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 on 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!
She grit her teeth, cursed Luna viciously in her heart, then glanced at the time. ”Joshua, I ‘in still worried
about my mother… ”
With that, she sucked in a deep breath, her expression bellying her awkwardness and reluctance. ”I
know you want to accompany me, but you want to spend time with the children too. But to me, my
parents who gave birth to me and raised me are still more important… They’ve gotten on in age too, they
don’t have much time left with me. But we still have a lot of time with each other… I think I should go
now.“
She turned and strode away, as if she was making an escape.
Looking at her retreating back, a cheeky, self- satisfied smile appeared on Neil’s lips.
However, Joshua was deeply moved by this incident. This was the Luna Gibson of his memories. A filial
daughter, kind and gentle. But the remaining regret that he had never truly spent time with her… It would
have to wait.
“Mr. Lynch.“ Neil turned and looked at Joshua. “ Since I already bought the tickets, they’ll go to waste if
we don’t use them. Why not ask Mommy Luna and Nellie to join us, and the four of us can ride it
together?“
Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the two girls, one big and one small, who were riding on the
carousel.
Their bright, beaming smiles were identical.
Joshua watched them for a while before turning and glanced at Neil. “Her injury… is she okay?“
“She should be fine.“
In an extremely rare gesture, the little guy reached out and held onto Joshua’s sleeve. “My Mommy
promised she would accompany us to the amusement park, but she was always so busy. Why not take
this opportunity to fulfill her dream?“
Joshua was silent for a moment before agreeing.
Together, the family of four sat on the roller coaster, the swing pendulum ride, and many, many other
rides that Luna always wanted to try but never had the chance to ride.
Joshua was surprised, despite her quiet and gentle appearance, he never expected Luna would go so
crazy when she played with the kids.
In the end, when they were riding on the Ferris Wheel, he sat opposite her, and looked at her side profile
as she stared out the window with Nellie in her arms, his gaze could not but turn gentle
