A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Grandpa, when will Mom come back?" Beryl asked while she miserably sobbed.

Hunk pressed his lips tightly together while he thought of his daughter. He frowned at the fact that even though he wanted to comfort the two children, he couldn't do anything for them.

The pitiful look on both the children's faces caused Louis' heart to melt. He sighed heavily and said, "Don't worry, your mom and dad will be back soon. Let's go out tomorrow for some fresh air, okay?"

Both of the children's sorrow quickly went away when they heard what Louis said.

Beryl raised her head and wiped away the tears on her face. She eagerly looked at him and asked, "Where are we going to fly kites?"

Beryl had completely misunderstood Louis' words and thought that going out for some fresh air meant going out to fly kites.

Bowen, who was quietly lying in Hunk's arms, suddenly popped his head out once he heard Beryl's words. His big round eyes stared intently at Louis, anxiously waiting for his answer.

Louis laughed and smiled at the children. He then said, "I'll take you wherever you want to go."

While he spoke, the image of the children's amusement park nearby popped into his head.

There were still several business deals that needed to be discussed, so he could only postpone the discussions for a few days. All of them had stayed inside the manor for so long that it was inevitable for them to feel bored.

"I want to go to the amusement park," Beryl mumbled with a disgruntled look on her face.

She was old enough to not be so easily distracted. The longing to be together with her mother was still there in her heart, but her uncle was obviously trying to make her forget that, so she refrained from asking any more in fear of being rejected.

On the other hand, Bowen didn't think too much about it. He simply nodded in agreement and exclaimed, "I also want to go to the amusement park!"

Upon seeing both of them completely resolved about the destination tomorrow, Louis agreed without hesitation. "That sounds good. Uncle will take you there tomorrow." But the thought that Beryl might want to go somewhere else after the park didn't come to Louis' mind.

Meanwhile, Hunk felt somewhat unhappy whenever he saw the children.

To these two, their parents were everything for them. No matter how happy they were at home, they still wanted to be near the two closest people in their hearts.
