Elijah glanced down and saw Rita's face all scrunched up in pain.
His heart immediately tensed up! There was no way Rita would come here alone! So... Violette was here too?
He looked behind Rita—
Just then, Ian quickly ran over and protected Rita in his arms. Seeing her hand covering her face, he immediately took her little hand away to check if there were any injuries on her face.
"Ian, I'm fine. I bumped into someone. My nose hurts a bit." Rita's eyes were red and teary, looking all pitiful.
Ian tightly held her hand, looking up at Elijah's cold face.
An unspoken chilling atmosphere spread between the father and son.
At this moment, Makayla saw Ian and Rita, her face full of surprise!
"Ian! Rita!"
Makayla walked quickly towards them.
Seeing this, Ian immediately pulled Rita away, turning and leaving. Rita looked back reluctantly, her eyes lingering on the icy wonderland around her. Finally, when her gaze fell on Elijah's face, she made a funny face at him.
Elijah ignored Rita's provocation and held Makayla's arm, not letting her chase after them.
Not far away, Violette and Adrian approached.
Seeing the two kids, Violette breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time scolded, "Rita! How could you be so bold!"
Rita rubbed her eyes and complained, "Mom, it's so beautiful here, I wanted to come in and play!"
"Not today, I'll bring you back next time!" Violette picked up her daughter, her eyes catching a glimpse of Elijah and his women.
She didn't expect him to bring them all together. How harmonious!
It seemed that one had to endure what ordinary people couldn't, in order to get what ordinary people couldn't get.
"Do you still have feelings for him? Is that why you're so angry?" Adrian teased her in a relaxed tone.
Realizing her outburst, she blushed, "Adrian, don't make that kind of joke in the future. He's now surrounded by women, very happy. My appearance just dampens his mood."
"Cheer up! Let's go find the kids! They'll run too far away soon." Adrian said.
"You go find them; I'll go inform the staff to open the Snow Palace." Violette finished speaking, and strode towards the exit. She wasn't used to booking the whole place.
When she arrived at the entrance ticket booth, she explained her intentions to the staff.
Staff said, "But Mr. Bourne booked the whole day."
"Then donate the extra ticket money to charity." Violette said.
Staff said, "Let me check with my supervisor."
