"Mom, why are you even more nagging than Grandma!" Helen's words amused the two adults.
"My little grown-up!" Lena affectionately kissed Helen's forehead, and Helen kissed her mother's cheek in return. Seeing Helen so clever and sensible, Lena felt that her own hardships were nothing.
When they arrived at the amusement park with Helen, Alice was already waiting at the entrance.
"Come here, let Auntie hold you!"
"My little darling, you've grown taller again and gained weight!" Alice hugged Helen, showering her with kisses.
"Auntie, your saliva is all over my face." Helen looked disdainful at Alice.
"Little one, are you disliking Auntie now, hmm?" Alice playfully tickled Helen.
"Haha..." Helen giggled non-stop.
"Let's go!" Lena parked the car and walked over. Helen was in the middle, holding hands with both, skipping towards the amusement park.
Once inside, Helen was immediately captivated by various rides.
"Mom, I want to ride the carousel!" Helen dragged Lena and Alice towards the carousel.
"Don't rush, Helen. Today, Mom and Auntie will listen to you." Lena followed Helen closely, afraid she might fall or get hurt accidentally.
On the carousel, Helen's laughter sounded like tinkling bells. Watching her so happy, Lena felt content.
"Mom, can we also ride the Ferris wheel?" Helen asked with a hopeful look.
"Sure!"
After buying tickets, Lena and Helen queued up for the Ferris wheel. When they reached the top, Lena inexplicably felt melancholic.
It's said that when two lovers ride the Ferris wheel together and kiss at the top, they will stay together forever, growing old together. Young girls are often drawn to such legends, wanting to bring their boyfriends.
Four years ago, Lena was like that too, always wanting to ride with Grayson. It never happened. Perhaps it was fate. The person destined to be with him for life wasn't Lena.
Shaking off the sad thoughts, Lena saw Helen sitting in Alice's lap.
"Auntie, look at the beautiful clouds in the sky!"
"Our Helen is the most beautiful!"
Lena was grateful she had Helen four years ago.
She watched quietly as Helen chatted and laughed in Alice's arms, her happiness infectious.
Grayson had just landed last night and was inspecting the amusement park today with the park manager. The Gray family's businesses spanned film, electronics, technology, entertainment, fashion, and more, ranking among the world's top ten families.
The amusement park project started when Grayson was abroad. Late at night abroad, he often remembered Lena urging him to take her to an amusement park. Being too busy, he never had the chance. That's why he decided to build the largest amusement city in the capital.
After coming down from the Ferris wheel with Alice and Helen...
"Helen, let's go to the third floor of the amusement city to watch a movie. They're showing your favorite Snow White today."
"Okay!"
As they reached the third floor...
"Alice, you take Helen to buy tickets first! I'll go to the restroom," Lena said.
"Okay."
"Helen, come with Auntie. We'll buy tickets here and get your favorite popcorn too."
