"Serena, don't ask questions, get up quickly!" Leah pouted and urged her mother excitedly. She knew she couldn't tell her the truth about going to the hot spring resort, or else it might be ruined. Her mom definitely didn't want to go to the hot springs with her scumbag dad!
Rose rarely saw her daughter so eager and had no choice but to get up and wash up quickly. Half an hour later, they all got in the car and headed for the hot spring resort.
Leah and Elliot's lips curled slightly upwards, looking quite happy. The only one who seemed out of place was Rose. She was confused and didn't understand what the father and daughter were up to or where they were going.
As she watched the scenery outside the car window constantly receding, Rose furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and turned towards her daughter sitting next to her.
"Where are we even going?"
"Serena, you're so smart, why don't you guess?" Leah looked at her mother cunningly with a happy smile on her face.
The plan was proceeding as usual! She believed that once they arrived at the hot spring resort, there would definitely be further development in the relationship between Mommy and Scumbag Dad!
When Rose saw how happy Leah looked, she sighed helplessly. "I can't guess."
"You'll find out when we get there," said Elliot in the driver's seat with a slight lift of his eyebrows.
The woman sitting in the backseat rolled her eyes unkindly upon hearing this remark. What was there left to know after arriving?
Rose felt some resistance towards where she was about to go with Elliot but when she saw how happy little Leah looked beside her, that bit of resistance disappeared without a trace from deep within herself.
She felt guilty for not being able give their child a complete home but if this trip could make it up just slightly, then she would be willing...
Two hours later, the car entered into mountainous terrain where fresh air filled their lungs while everywhere around them were pleasing shades of greenery which somewhat eased Rose's tension.
The exterior design of hot spring resort appeared very rustic, clearly built based on natural contours borrowed from its original ecological landscape yet another Garden Pavilion building added onto it, making people feel refreshed just by looking at it before them..
After Elliot parked his car at the entrance of the hot spring resort, he sent a message to Henry.
Not long after, Henry happily came out to greet.
He thought that Elliot's cold rejection yesterday meant that he probably wouldn't come to his hot spring resort to relax.
Unexpectedly, he received a phone call from Elliot this morning asking for the specific address of the hot spring resort.
He waited happily all morning, and was delighted when Elliot finally came out.
Unexpectedly, Henry saw Elliot getting off the car with a little girl.
Henry's eyes widened instantly, unable to believe it.
Who is this girl?
When did Elliot have a daughter?
Just as Henry had not yet recovered from the shock of learning that Elliot had a daughter, another woman got out of the car, making his expression even more difficult to maintain.
