It's Cicc, waving her little hand with a pouty mouth and a face full of angry expressions.
"Mom's singing is always so good! Cicc knows! When Mom sings lullabies to herself, they're even better than Dad's!"
Everyone was stunned. No one expected the little one to speak up for her mom at this moment.
Louis was just stunned for a second, then smiled and rubbed the little one's head.
"Amazing! She's really my daughter! She's much stronger than her mom who always gets bullied!"
Louis had some resentment in his heart, but when Cicc spoke up, his anger dissipated immediately, and his eyes and heart were full of this little one.
Ignoring Ada's reaction, they left the place of trouble.
By noon, the trio with the cute little one arrived at a restaurant. Louis, holding the child, walked in first under the welcome of the waiter.
Anna and Freya continued chatting behind.
Freya clearly didn't like Louis. She looked at him with disdain along the way, and even rolled her eyes at him for no reason. If Louis hadn't behaved relatively well just now, she wouldn't even want to look at this man.
As they sat down, Louis handed the menu to Anna and Freya. After they ordered a few dishes, Louis also ordered some dishes that Cicc liked before returning the menu to the waiter.
Cicc was still a bit shy. Although she had become more cheerful these days and had become much closer to Louis, she still behaved very well when facing strangers.
This was quite similar to Anna's temperament, but there were some differences. The little one's personality was obviously more lively, children naturally liked to play and interact with others, so her eyes were full of curiosity and exploration towards these strangers and things.
But she was also more sensible than ordinary children due to her experiences two years ago, which was heartbreaking.
Louis knew this, but he couldn't help it. The little one still lacked confidence now and needed more time to return to her true nature.
It's a long way to go!
Anna continued chatting with Freya. She had been worried about some things when she was walking on the road before but didn't ask. Now that they finally sat down and there were no outsiders around, she held Freya's hand and finally asked the question she had been wanting to ask.
"Freya, why did you end up doing odd jobs for Ada? Also, what about Thalia? What is she doing now?"
Thalia was Anna's former agent, almost forty years old, and had always treated her well, like a daughter.
When Thalia was still around, she had always managed work matters for Anna. She had handled many troubles for Anna, such as refusing to attend certain parties. Especially when Anna was dating Louis, Thalia had warned her several times not to fall in love with him. Unfortunately, Anna didn't listen to her at that time, and even more so, didn't stop her from marrying Louis.
Thalia must have been angry about it countless times, but in the end, she had no choice but to agree.
Hearing Anna's question, Freya's expression couldn't hide her sadness.
"After you left, Thalia was dismissed not long after. She couldn't find a job for a long time. Later, her mother got sick and was hospitalized, so she had to take care of her mother in the hospital and only found a job as a nanny."
Anna didn't expect Thalia to have fallen to this extent now. She felt a bit trance-like, vaguely able to see Thalia's decisive appearance when she was working.
The two fell silent. Anna pursed her lips. She knew it was all her fault. If it weren't for her stubbornness, Thalia wouldn't have ended up like this.
She had gone through so many storms for her, and resisted so many company orders for her. When she had a bright future, the company naturally wouldn't say anything. After she had slapped her butt and said she was quitting, one could imagine how Thalia would be treated.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing. After talking about Thalia, Anna and Freya even lost their appetites for the meal. After hastily finishing their meal, Freya talked to Anna for a while and then left in a hurry.
Anna's mood had been very low. Originally, the three of them had planned to accompany Cicc to the amusement park in the afternoon, but now she didn't even feel like playing anymore.
Louis naturally felt her mood. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
Actually, he didn't understand why Anna had been like she was drugged when she insisted on marrying him, and the original owner didn't know, so he didn't know even more.
Anna wanted to go home. She wanted to be alone for a while, but when she saw Cicc's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear it.
Hey, dear friends! In order not to disappoint little Cicc, the three of us finally came to the amusement park.
Perhaps because it was Saturday, the entrance to the amusement park was bustling with a continuous stream of visitors.
The little one was very excited; it was her first time at an amusement park. She grabbed Louis's hand and eagerly tried to rush inside, unstoppable.
At this moment, Anna also reluctantly summoned her energy. She didn't want to be sad when Cicc looked back on her first trip to the amusement park in the future.
The adult ticket for the amusement park is $60 per person, with children half price, and some entertainment projects can be experienced for free with tickets, which is quite cost-effective.
After checking the tickets, the family smoothly entered the amusement park.
With one hand holding her father's hand and the other waving the ticket in her hand, little Cicc looked at the entertainment facilities ahead, almost laughing like a silly child.
Being pulled by Cicc all the time, the family first experienced the carousel.
With the lively music, lifelike white horses moved up and down, Cicc was secured in Louis's arms, her silver bell-like laughter occasionally ringing out.
Anna also temporarily put aside her worries, sitting on another small horse beside them, holding Cicc's hand, and occasionally making her laugh.
Louis protected Cicc, and his face also rarely showed a hearty smile. At this moment, they should indulge in playing; those annoying things shouldn't be brought into this joyful ocean.
The family of three got along harmoniously, becoming an enviable family in the eyes of others.
Especially for some young couples, when they saw this family of three, there was an obvious look of anticipation in their eyes. They hoped that in the future, after getting married and having children, they could be like this family.
After the carousel, Louis and Anna took Cicc to play the Snail Special Forces, sitting on the snail battleship with everyone, shooting water columns with snail guns to shoot down those insect legions.
Every time those insects were hit, they would immediately make their unique cheerful sounds and funny sound effects.
This made Cicc extremely happy, sometimes imitating the sounds of animals, shouting "mom" and "dad" to shoot at the animals she designated.
After that, the family played several other projects, and the sky gradually dimmed unconsciously. The amusement park also lit up with colorful lights, beautiful and magnificent under the dim night, like being in a fairy tale world.
At this moment, Louis was taking Cicc on the flying chair, slowly ascending, surrounded by colorful lights, and a castle from a fairy tale slowly appeared in front of them.
The appearance of this castle immediately attracted Cicc's attention; she stared at it, her big eyes full of excitement.
Perhaps she was also thinking, will she ever be able to live in a castle like a princess one day?
