Amelia noticed Kaia’s shoulders quiver faintly, and the straight posture she had held moments earlier collapsed at once.

After being scolded by her mother, she lowered her head to hide every trace of emotion.

The breeze from the river stirred her hair, leaving several loose strands stuck to her cheeks, making her appear delicate and powerless.

After a long pause, Amelia heard her voice drift through the wind. “Mom, stop talking… It’s not like I don’t understand my own situation.”

Her voice was so faint it felt as though the wind might scatter it away at any second, yet it carried a deep sense of helpless acceptance.

Seeing her daughter like this, Linda finally felt a flicker of compassion. She fell silent and simply sighed again, patting her daughter gently on the back.

They said nothing more as they stood together quietly for a moment before turning back along the trail. slowly walking toward the far side of town until they disappeared into the distance.

Only after their figures vanished completely beyond the curve of the path did Amelia finally release the breath she had been holding. She and Mason stepped out from behind the old willow tree.

Amelia stared worriedly toward the direction they had gone, her chest feeling weighed down as if something heavy blocked her heart.

“Don’t think too much,” his deep voice sounded beside her ear. “Feelings are only understood by the people involved. Evan isn’t someone who loses control; he will deal with it.”

The two walked back toward town from the riverside.

As evening approached, the Christmas atmosphere in town became even livelier.

Along the way they encountered many children who had just finished playing outside.

When the children saw Mason, they showed no shyness at all. They rushed toward him in a lively cluster. lifting their small flushed faces and shouting over each other: “Merry Christmas, Mason!”

“May you be blessed! Now give us our gift cards!”

Mason smiled warmly. He nodded and generously pulled out a thick stack of fresh gift cards from his coat pocket.

He bent down and handed one to each child.
