Maverick replied, “My mom and I just go wherever she takes us to have fun.” 
River smiled and said, “Then Uncle will take you to Ocean World or the zoo. You’ll love it.” 
A lot of the rides at the amusement park weren’t suitable for kids that young, so River had no plans to take his nieces and nephews there. Besides, the York family’s old estate already had a large playground. After the baby was born, all the equipment had been replaced with brandnew ones. 
Grandma had said the old playground was originally meant for her sons. Now that they were grown, it was time to update everything for the next generation. 
“Okay,” Maverick nodded. 
The snacks River ordered arrived. He turned to Serenity and said, “Sister-in-law, have some snacks first. Afterward, I’ll take you to my place. I already asked the butler to prepare a bunch of your favorite dishes.” 
Serenity replied, “We’re not really hungry. How about we stay here at the hotel instead? You have to work every day, and we’re here just to relax. We don’t want to take up your time. You can just have your butler show us around—we don’t need you to accompany us personally.” River shook his head. “That won’t work. Sister-in-law, this is your first time here. If I let you stay at a hotel instead of my place, my brother would have my head. I’ve got people to take care of work for me. I want to spend a few days with you guys. I especially want to be with Belle. If I don’t, she might not even remember me as her uncle when she goes back.” 
He lived in Eaglioncile and rarely went home—only returning to Wiltspoon when he had time. 
The kids at home didn’t have a strong impression of him as their uncle. That was understandable with so many nephews. But Belle was different—she was the long-awaited daughter in the York family, and River saw her as his own. He couldn’t let his little niece forget who he was. 
“Sister-in-law, did you travel here with just the kids? No bodyguards or nannies with you?” River asked while handing a dessert to his niece. 
Was it really safe for his big brother to let his wife travel with the kids alone? 
Serenity said, “They’re on their way. Both nannies got airsick and were feeling really unwell after the flight. I had the bodyguards stay back to take care of them. Once they feel better, they’ll come join us. Your big brother would never let me travel alone with the kids without a nanny or a bodyguard.” 
If it had just been her and Maverick, Zachary might have allowed it, since Serenity knew martial arts and could handle herself. Maverick, at just six years old, had already been training in martial arts since he was three or four. After a couple of years, he could even knock down his older cousin, Sonny. 
Sonny had been practicing martial arts for a while too, but only performed well against regular kids. Whenever he went up against someone with actual training, he didn’t stand much of a chance. 
When Serenity first enrolled Sonny in martial arts, the instructor had said he lacked natural talent and could only improve through sheer persistence. Over time, he’d be better than the average person and at least grow strong and healthy. 
Zachary was always nervous about taking Bethany out. She was his precious daughter— more important to him than his own eyes. If it wasn’t for something urgent or a business trip, he would’ve dropped everything to go on vacation with his wife and kids. 
To ease Zachary’s concerns, Serenity agreed to bring both a nanny and a bodyguard. 
Having a nanny around made looking after the kids so much easier. 
“How’s Grandma doing?” River asked with genuine concern.
