The moment they heard about the amusement park, Morales and Morgan's eyes sparkled with excitement. They were bursting with anticipation and truly wanted to go.
When the other four children saw how the two brothers were caught in such a difficult dilemma, they finally relented.
They did not want to let their two younger brothers down.
Since the four of them had nodded in agreement, both Morales and Morgan instantly got up and happily asked Melanie, "Mommy, shall we go now?"
Melanie's face brightened once she heard the two children's response. "Wait for Mommy, okay? I'll go and pick you up right now."
"Okay," they answered obediently.
Melanie was ecstatic, but she held it in and spent a great deal of time dressing up before driving over to Haling Villa.
Once she reached the entrance of the villa, Morales and Morgan ran to her car and called out to her happily, "Mommy! Mommy!"
Melanie pretended to be overjoyed to see them as well. "Hi, my darlings! I've missed you so much."
"We've missed you too, Mommy." Morales and Morgan's smiles were full of childish innocence.
Melanie chuckled and said, "Quick, get in. We'll go to the amusement park right now."
"Yay! Let's go!" Both of them climbed into the car at once.
Melanie rarely showed such enthusiasm when she was with the children, so the two boys were over the moon to see her like this.
As they sat in the car with their hands filled with snacks that Melanie had brought for them, they happily told her about everything that happened since last night.
"Mommy, the breakfast that Miss Vania made was very delicious."
"We're staying in the same room as our four older brothers, and they taught us a lot of new things!"
Morales and Morgan kept enthusing about Vania and her children.
This only served to frazzle Melanie, as she never liked kids in the first place, and she hated having to converse with them about such childish things.
Therefore, when she heard the boys praising Vania non-stop all throughout the ride, she was fuming mad and had half a mind to throw them out of the car.
However, for the sake of her plan, she had to hold it in.
She laughed along with them. "Oh? Is that so? That sounds wonderful."
She kept replying with a few short responses as she tried her best to mask her annoyance.
Finally, they reached the amusement park, and Melanie felt like she had gotten a new lease on life. She quickly hurried them. "Come, let's get down."
At last, she did not have to listen to them go on and on about Vania anymore.
When the two boys saw the rides available at the park, they happily said, "Mommy, let's hurry on in. There are so many fun rides here!"
Melanie bought the tickets and brought the two children in. The boys walked hand-in-hand in front of her as their eyes roamed all over.
They stopped in front of a merry-go-round and said to Melanie, "Mommy, let's ride this."
"Sure."
Melanie scoffed at the ride on the inside, but in front of the children, she handed her VIP card over to the attendant. Thankfully, they would not need to wait in line like everyone else.
They had only just entered the amusement park, but Melanie was already tired.
This was the first time she ever spent time with the children as they played, but she was already beginning to feel disdainful.
Once she climbed onto one of the horses of the merry-go-round, she felt a little better, especially since she was separated from the two chatterboxes. The buzzing in her head had stopped too.
Unfortunately, the ride soon came to an end. Melanie was reluctant to move out of her seat. If she had her way, she would just sit there all day.
Instead, she said to the kids, "I think this is really fun. Why don't we go for another round? Do it for Mommy?"
