At a glance the next day, Elisa had already pulled Lucia up from bed before she woke up
'Look at the time, didn’t you say you want to take the kids Io Pleasant Valley’ Today is Sunday, and most people are visiting there1' Elisa said to Lucia
"Not getting up yet7 Lucia, you are the mother of children now, not the little girl from before ’ Elisa scolded her daughter
During the five minutes of scolding while she was staying in bed, Lucia seemed to feel that her mother had made up for the scolding that she had missed for five years
She rubbed her head and struggled to get up from the bed
‘Go take a shower and change your clothes1 The two little guys are more diligent than you1' Elisa told Lucia dismissively
A?er being pushed into the bathroom by Elisa. Lucia took a shower and finally woke up a bit more
Last night, for some reason, she had a dream that lasted the whole night In the dream, there was a tall and handsome man
She ran away with Timothy and Janet in her arms She was so scared when she woke up from this dream that she didnt sleep well anymore when she went back to bed
Could it be that the man in the dream was August?
The more Lucia thought about it, the more outrageous it became ,
In the end. she simply shook her head and forgot all those rambling thoughts
She came out of the bathroom, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
She saw Janet and Timothy sitting obediently at the dining table drinking milk and having breakfast They had also changed into new clothes
Janet wore a red plaid skirt, and Timothy wore a black plaid shirt
They looked cute and eye catching
Lucia felt a little better, walked over to greet them, made a cup of coffee, and took a sip
She took out her mobile phone to send a message to Paul.
'Paul, were almost ready here, are you on your way7 She asked him.
Originally, she and Paul had agreed to take the little guys to Pleasant Valley together today, which was considered a "family activity"
After waiting for a few minutes, Lucia finished her cup of coffee, and Paul hadn't replied yet
Next to her, Timothy and Janet, who had already finished breakfast, stared at her with wide eyes
'Mom, when are we leaving7’ They asked
Lucia smiled at them, raised her hand, and patted their heads respectively
Wait for Dad to come and pick us up, you two go put your little backpacks on your back, bring your little water bottle, and be ready at all
times1' She said to the children
"As ordered1' They screamed in unison and agreement
Seeing the two of them run away like wild horses, the smile in Lucias eyes deepened
She got up. went back to the room, put on a casual sports suit, and went out the door when she was ready
A white sweater and white shorts, paired with sneakers of the same color, and a baseball cap, her whole body was youthful and beautiful, full of girlishness
When Lucia came downstairs, she was praised by the two little guys intermittently
'Mom, you aje so beautiful1”
Mom. we can go out and call you our sister1'
Hearing the rainbow fart, Lucia couldn't help laughing Holding one of the little guys with one hand, she said with a smile. Alright, alright,
your two little mouths are as sweet as honey1'
Before going out. Elisa caught up with them and stuffed a box of prepared sandwiches into Lucias backpack
"Just in case, the little guys can fill their stomachs when hungry,’ Elisa told Lucia
'Okay, okay Mom, the weather is so nice today, you should also go out for a walk with dad, don’t stay at home all the time, she said to
Elisa
After coming out of the house and walking to the side of the road outside the West Bridge Garden. Lucia turned on the phone, and it was empty Not to mention Paul s phone number, he didn't even reply to the text messages she sent him
It was getting late, if they didn't go now. they would have to queue up to buy tickets
Lucia stopped a taxi, took Timothy and Janet into the car, and asked the driver to go directly to Pleasant Valley in Austos City
On the way, she made a phone call to Paul, but there were several rings, and no one answered
Was he busy’
Lucia thought for a while and simply sent him another message
’I'll take the kids to buy a ticket first, and well be waiting for you at the door’
Just after sending the text message. Timothy raised his head to look at I ucia, blinked his big eyes, and asked. Mom. cant Dad come7' Lucia touched his little head
"Dad should be busy Let s wait for him at the entrance of Pleasant Valley He will be there soon,' she replied
Jonet was also worried
What 4 Dad doesn't come’ Teacher Linda has left us homework and wants us to take a picture of our family hanging out together and
send it to her.' Janet asked worriedly
"Yes, today is the last day1’ Timothy agreed
Seeing the anxious appearance of the two little guys, Lucia quickly reassured them
'Don't worry, you'll finish this homework today, dont worry, eh7’ She said to the kids ,
The two little guys nodded, but the expressions on their faces were a little lost
Lucias heart tensed, and she suddenly felt sorry for them
In the past five years, although Paul was their father, in all honesty, they didn't spend much time together
In addition, Paul had to shuttle from home and abroad and was busy with work
He was not always available, so sometimes there were some gaps
But even so. Lucia was very grateful to Paul With him, at least her children would not be the object of ridicule by other children, and at
least the fathers position during Timothy Janet s childhood would not be vacant
Soon, the taxi arrived at the gate of Pleasant Valley in Austos City
Lucia pulled Timothy and Janet out of the car and was dumbfounded when she saw the long queue at the ticket office
Unexpectedly, there were so many people
No wonder Elisa woke her up early tn the morning, there seemed to be a reason
Lucia took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the two little guys, walked to the end of the line, and followed in line to buy tickets
In the queue, all parents came with their children, and there were also some young couples There were many people at the ticket office, and there was also a queue at the entrance on the other side
Registering to buy tickets was still very fast
After waiting in line for less than 20 minutes, Lucia went to the ticket booth and bought tickets for two adults and two children
It seemed to be in line with the theme of Pleasant Valley
The childrens tickets were colorful and printed with cartoon characters
As soon as Timothy and Janet got the tickets, they excitedly took Lucia to the entrance to line up there
Lucia hesitated, glanced al the empty mobile phone, and took a deep breath
’Timothy, Janet, let s wait for Dad, lucia told the kids
The two little guys had just got excited When they heard this sentence, they seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water and nodded somewhat disappointedly
