Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 432 - I’m actually here to offer you something incredible

The second they stepped into the park, Esperanza’s whole face lit up with pure joy. "There they are!" she squealed. Without missing a beat, she took off running toward the pond, her little legs pumping excitedly as dozens of ducks glided across the sparkling water.

That pond had always been her absolute favorite spot. She giggled like crazy as the ducks waddled right up to the kids, quacking hopefully for more bird feed.

A huge, bright smile stretched across her face while she joined the other children.

Pretty soon she was laughing and playing with them like they’d been best friends forever, carefully tossing little pieces of food into the water while the ducks scrambled and fought over every single bite in the funniest chaos.

Since Esperanza was homeschooled, her tutor kept reminding everyone that she really needed regular time around kids her own age.

Hanging out with adults all day wasn’t enough. She needed real friends, real laughs, real playtime, and the chance to learn how to connect with other children in the most natural way possible.

That’s exactly why Jasmine made sure to bring her to the park twice a week without fail.

Thankfully, Esperanza had never struggled to fit in. She was so cheerful, polite, and bursting with curiosity that within minutes she’d always end up surrounded by other kids, inventing wild games and cracking up together like they’d known each other their whole lives.

Watching her now from the bench, Jasmine couldn’t help smiling warmly. She stayed right there, eyes never leaving the little girl for long.

Even while Esperanza was having the time of her life playing with the others, Jasmine stayed super alert, checking on her every few seconds just to make sure she was completely safe and happy.
