When Jacob went to find the waiter, his phone rang. Jacob walked to the corner to answer the phone. It was Xavier who called.
"Where are they?"
"In the hotel."
"Are you there?"
"Yes."
Xavier couldn't come at this time, so he had to let Jacob keep watch.
After hanging up the phone, Jacob went back to the table. The food was ready, and Ryan ate with relish. Arya was responsible for picking up the food for him, but she had no appetite and barely had two mouthfuls of soup.
Nanny Joy picked up some food for her. "You have to eat some."
She had to do it for the baby in her belly.
Arya couldn't refuse Nanny Joy, so she ate a little.
After dinner, Arya took Ryan upstairs. Ryan didn't want to, "Mommy, let's go out and play."
"It's getting dark." Arya frowned. The child was willful.
Nanny Joy knew what Ryan was thinking, "It used to be quiet around the villa, but here was crowded, so he wanted to go out."
"I know there's a park not far away. Do you want to take a walk there?" Jacob said.
"Yes." Afraid of being rejected, Ryan pulled Jacob. "Where is it? Take me there."
Jacob looked at Arya. Ryan didn't give her any chance to refuse. He seemed to be saying that if she didn't go, he would ask Jacob to go with him.
Nanny Joy held Arya's arm, "Let's go for a walk."
Arya sighed slightly, "Ryan is getting more disobedient."
"He's getting more lively. In our hometown, we think only healthy children can be so energetic." Nanny Joy said.
The park was big, and there was a pond with many lotus leaves inside. The lotus was already withered, but the lotus leaves were still green. Not far away was a small boat with a big white goose. Ryan pointed and asked, "Can I play with that?"
Jacob said, "Sure."
He looked at Arya and promised, "I'll take care of him."
Ryan urged, "Let's go..."
Ryan dragged Jacob.
Arya walked for a while and sat down on the stone chair.
Nanny Joy asked, "Are you tired?"
Arya said, "A little."
The bigger the belly was, the more tired she felt.
Ryan rowed the boat and bought a water gun, which could shoot very high.
Ryan was in good spirits and didn't feel tired after playing for a long time. Arya asked Jacob to take Ryan to her. The doctor said that Ryan couldn't use up his energy like this. He had to rest more. He didn't sleep today.
Jacob was afraid that Ryan wouldn't want to, so he coaxed Ryan, "Ryan, let's go back today. I'll take you to a more interesting place when you recover."
Ryan tilted his head and thought about it. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, but don't forget."
