Chapter 253: Town’s park

Immediately, a memory surfaced.

The day of my first ultrasound.

I remembered sitting in the car afterward and mentioning that I wanted cake.

I remember him getting me one, and then an extra.

White chocolate cake....

"Alicia, do you want anything else?"

Anna’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.

I shook my head.

"No."

A few minutes later, we left with a paper bag filled with warm pastries.

By the time we returned to the mansion, the smell had attracted Aimy before we even reached the door.

The moment she spotted the bag in Anna’s hand, her big blue eyes lit up.

"Aunt Anna!"

Anna grinned triumphantly.

"My favorite customer."

The peaceful sounds of laughter quickly filled the mansion.

And for a little while, life felt wonderfully simple.

We went upstairs and freshened up before returning for breakfast.

During breakfast, Aimy suddenly spoke up.

"Mummy, you said we would go to the park."

I looked down at her and smiled.

"I said if you behaved."

"But Mum, I did. I’ve been eating my food."

"That’s right, Alicia. She’s been a very good girl," Aunt Margaret added.

My smile widened.

"Alright, baby. After breakfast, we’ll go to the park together."

"Yayyyy!"

Her excited voice echoed through the dining room.

"Hey, don’t speak while eating."

She immediately pressed her lips together before turning to Anna.

"Aunt Anna, will you come with us?"

Anna smiled apologetically.

"I wish I could, but I have somewhere else to be today."

Aimy pouted.

"But when I’m free, I’ll definitely take you another day."

Her smile returned instantly.

Once again, I felt the tension inside me lessen.

After breakfast, Aimy and I left the mansion and drove to the town’s park.

The park wasn’t very crowded.

Being a weekend, a few families had brought their children out while some elderly residents sat beneath the large trees chatting with one another.

The moment we arrived, Aimy’s eyes lit up.

"Mummy! Swing!"

She immediately pointed toward the playground.

I laughed.

"Alright, alright. Slow down."

The moment I let go of her hand, she ran ahead with her tiny legs.

"Aimy, don’t run too fast!"

"I won’t!"

She absolutely would.

I followed behind her while shaking my head.

Soon she climbed onto one of the swings and looked at me expectantly.

"Mummy."

"Yes?"

"Push."

I moved behind her and gently pushed the swing.

Aimy squealed happily.

"Higher!"

"No."

"A little higher?"

"A little."

That seemed to satisfy her.

Her laughter echoed through the park as the swing moved back and forth.

My gaze wandered around the park.

I noticed the other children playing nearby. Some of the mothers were seated on benches chatting with one another, while most of the children were accompanied by their fathers.

Some were pushing swings.

Some were helping their children build sandcastles.

Others were chasing after toddlers who kept trying to run off.

Suddenly, memories of my dad resurfaced.

The way he would leave everything behind just to take me to the park.

The way he always made time for me no matter how busy he was.

The way he took such good care of me.

My eyes returned to Aimy.

For a while, I simply stood there watching her.

Watching the way her dark hair danced in the wind.

Watching the bright smile on her face.

Watching how carefree she looked.

Children really were amazing.

They could find happiness in the simplest things.
