Everyone was seated at the dining table for lunch, Logan and Hazel were throwing tantrums, refusing to eat their food.
Since Logan has lost the game he was feeling down and angrily glaring at Aria but she did not even spare him a glance.
"Logan, stop sulking. You can play another game later and win it," Aurora consoled.
"I will never take Aria in my team," Logan grunted.
"I am not interested in playing with you," Aria snapped.
"Don't fight, it's just a game. Eat so you can grow as tall and strong as your father, " Aurora patted his head.
"Will you eat or do you want me to shove the food down your throat? " Dimitri asked coldly when he noticed that Logan was not listening to Aurora. He did not want his wife to delay her lunch just because she was pacifying their son.
Logan gulped seeing his father was about to lose his temper and replied, "I will eat." He bowed down his head and quickly shoveled food into his mouth.
Ava could not feed Hazel as she did not want anything except ice cream. Tristan took Hazel in his lap and started telling her stories, once her attention was diverted he fed her pasta and boiled vegetables.
Tristan's suit was dirtied as Hazel spilled some of the food on her lap. Instead of being angry he ran his thumb on her cheeks with a doting look.
"See the difference between raising a son and daughter?" Aiden chuckled.
"Girls are more delicate, so they should be given special treatment," Blake commented.
After lunch all the kids started playing board games and Hazel got bored as she was not able to participate in any of them. Enzo noticed Hazel restlessly moving around the room and went near her.
"Do you want to go outside?" Enzo asked.
"Play swing, " Hazel pointed her finger towards the garden.
"Then let's go there, " Enzo agreed and moved forward but Hazel pulled his shirt.
"What happened, " Enzo turned back.
"Carry me," Hazel extended her arms asking him to take her in his arms.
"Looks like Hazel princess doesn't want to walk, " Enzo chuckled.
Since there were five people playing board games, the kids did not mind Enzo quitting the game. As soon as Enzo and Hazel reached the garden, she ran and sat on the swing telling him to push her.
Enzo happily obeyed her request but he was careful to not exert too much force. Hazel's laughter filled his ears with so much joy.
After a few minutes she went to play on the slide and merry go around. When Hazel was playing slide, Enzo was standing at the end so that he could catch her and she would not hurt her knees by falling onto the ground.
All these play equipments were installed in the garden by Blake for his daughter Evelyn so they were built to ensure her safety, but Enzo still watched over Hazel, no matter what
Logan had won the board game and was feeling quite happy and satisfied. As the kids came to the playground, Logan and Evelyn started to fight on who should sit on the swing.
"I am the guest so I should play first," Logan stated.
"But this swing is mine, " Evelyn argued.
"You can play tomorrow when we are not here, let me play now," Logan requested.
"Then will you give me your new car when I come to your house?" Evelyn asked. Logan became silent as he did not let anyone touch his cars.
"If you say no, then I will not let you play on the swing , "Evelyn threatened.
"Okay fine, " Logan agreed, having no other choice.
"Evelyn, let's go and play seesaw, " Aria dragged her hand.
Hazel was plucking flowers and arranging them into bouquets, when she couldnot reach any plant she asked Enzo to help her.
Hazel pointed at a faraway tree and said she wanted the flowers of that tree. Travis was nearby when he heard his sister so he stopped playing and came to help her.
"I will take her, you go and play, " Enzo said sternly.
"I want to go with my sister, " Travis stated.
"She cannot walk so far and someone needs to carry her which you cannot do, " Enzo picked Hazel in his arms.
"Okay," Travis agreed and went back to play with Asher. Enzo did not like Travis interrupting his time with Hazel.
He liked playing with her, she was a bundle of joy. She was so cute and her sweet words made everyone eager to fulfill her wishes. He looked at his brother who was standing on the swing and screaming at the top of his lungs.
Hazel was reciting some nursery rhyme and making actions through her hands which brought a smile on his face.
He felt it would have been better to have a sister rather than a brother. Enzo plucked flowers from the tree and gave it to Hazel , from which she made very messy bouquets.
By the time they came back to the house, Hazel had fallen asleep on Enzo's shoulder.
"Looks like she was tired, " Ava went to take Hazel from Enzo but he did not loosen his grip.
"Enzo thanks for looking after her, let me take her, " Ava was amused seeing Enzo's hesitancy to return her daughter.
Enzo did not want this day to end, whenever he spent the day with Hazel it would be a little difficult to part ways.
Logan has challenged Asher and Travis as to who will circle the whole garden first. Yesterday it had rained and some parts were still wet and slippery.
Seeing Travis overtaking him, Asher had increased his running pace and had fallen down. Luckily he landed on a bush and there were no major injuries except a few scratches on his elbow.
Asher was covered in mud and even his clothes were torn a bit. Sophia panicked as soon as she spotted Asher and ran towards him.
"My god, what have you done Asher? Are you hurt?" Sophia kneeled down to his height.
"No mom, I want to change my clothes, they stink, " Asher grumbled.
"You cannot even win a race. Do you know when I was your age ,I was very competitive and sportive , " Aiden scoffed.
"Aiden keep quiet. Your son is hurt and you are provoking him, " Sophia was annoyed.
"He looks fine to me, " Aiden replied.
"Get away and see what your dear daughter is doing," Sophia fumed.
"Ya, her favorite snacks are prepared in the kitchen. I should go and inform her, " Aiden went to search for his daughter.
"Mom, next time I will win the game. I will be better than dad, " Asher promised.
Sophia sighed and replied, "Even if you don't win the games it's alright, you just need to be safe. "
