Early the next morning, Yoel, who came to visit the two little ones, also. learned about their sneaking out of the kindergarten. He let out an
exaggerated sigh. “I’ve been taking care of you all this while, but I’ve never seen you sneak out to see me!”
When he saw Lukas and Luna growing anxious, he squatted down and looked at them seriously. “I know both of you are very smart, but there are certain things adults can do that children can’t. If something were to happen to Lukas, what would your mother do? When she gave birth to you, it almost cost her her life. We can’t take that risk again.”
Lukas and Luna snuck a glance at Cynthia, making sure she wasn’t angry anymore before they loudly agreed, “We understand.”
Prior to entering the kindergarten, Cynthia reminded them, “Yesterday, Ms. Patricia was given a fright by both of you. Remember to apologize to her today.”
Lukas and Luna nodded in agreement.
After they left, Yoel asked Cynthia, “Did Colton notice anything?”
Recalling Colton’s expression from yesterday, Cynthia shook her head. “Probably not.”
If he really found something amiss, there’s no way he would just let us leave like
that.
Yoel suddenly turned his head and gave Cynthia a serious look. “Have you ever considered that the children might need a father? I…”
Before he could finish speaking, Cynthia stopped him. “It’s not a good time to talk about this now. Let’s discuss it later tonight.”

Yoel gave her a delighted look.
Whenever I broach this topic in the past, Cynthia would always avoid discussing it But this time, she actually took the initiative to talk to me about it?
“Alright, alright! I’m free tonight. I definitely have the time!” he replied before striding away with a smile.
Cynthia felt somewhat helpless as she watched his leaving silhouette.
At that moment, Colton thought back to the child he saw yesterday and had the niggling feeling that something was off.
“Colt?”
Elsa got up early to make breakfast for Colton. However, when she was done preparing the meal, she saw him sitting at the table, deep in thought.
Only then did Colton regain his senses and furrowed his brows upon noticing Elsa’s actions. “Where’s Susan? You can ask her to make breakfast. There’s no need for you to do it yourself.”
Elsa smiled softly. “I’m just a little excited because it’s my first time living with you. If you don’t mind, I can always…”
“You don’t have to,” Colton softly refused. “You can do something you enjoy. There’s no need for this.”
Just as he spoke, he was briefly stunned when he suddenly recalled Gordon’s words at Libre Restaurant the other day.
Cynthia had spent a full three years learning how to cook from Gordon, yet he had never tasted a single bite of her food.
Upon seeing the aggrieved expression on Elsa’s face, he blurted out, “I’ll be eating it.”

Upon hearing his words, Elsa’s sadness turned into joy immediately. With a smile on her face, she said to Colton. “I knew it. You do care about me”
Colton fell silent.
Before he left, Elsa walked him to the door attentively and flashed a gentle smile. “I heard that the amusement park is really popular recently. Can you take me there tonight?”
She hung her head slightly, seeming quite depressed.
Colton was just about to refuse when he swallowed his words and hummed in agreement instead.
Overjoyed, Elsa leaned forward in an attempt to kiss Colton. However, the latter took a step back and straightened his collar. “I should be going now.”
Before Elsa could react, he had already turned around and left.
Elsa’s expression turned gloomy as she watched Colton’s car drive away. from the mansion.
Upon arriving at, the office, Colton immediately sought Timothy out. “Could you find out more about the child from yesterday and see if there’s any connection between him and Cynthia?”
Timothy nodded in acknowledgment. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Colton again. “Also, look into the background of this Shelley family. See if the child has any connection to them.”
The perfect assistant would never question his boss‘ decisions, but swiftly complete all tasks at hand. Timothy subsequently glanced at the folder in his hands.
Inside the café, Lukas and Luna sat obediently beside Cynthia, eating their ice cream. However, Cynthia was having quite a headache.

Upon learning that she was going to meet Yoel, these two little ones insisted on coming along no matter what. She tried to persuade them otherwise but to no avail. Having run out of ideas, she had no choice but to bring them there,
When Yoel walked in with a bouquet of roses, he was greeted by the sight of the three of them together.
The smile on his lips froze momentarily before he quickly regained his composure. “How did both of you end up coming along?”
“Uncle Yoel, we came here just to see you!” Luna replied sweetly. “You promised us last time that we would go to the amusement park together.”
Yoel affectionately pinched her nose and said, “I knew you guys didn’t come here just to see me. Unfortunately, the amusement park is already closed…”
“It’s celebrating its anniversary recently, so it’s open at night too.” Lukas held up his phone, allowing Yoel to get a clear look.
Left with no choice, Yoel resigned himself to saying, “Fine, both of your win. Let’s go!”
When Cynthia looked at him apologetically, she saw Yoel laughing heartily with a child in each of his arms. “We can always chat some other time. It’s more important to play with the little one first.”
This was the first time the two little ones visited the amusement park in Alenvista. As soon as they entered, they dragged Yoel excitedly to ride on the roller coaster, pirate ship, and other attractions. While they were having the time of their lives, Yoel’s face had already turned pale from the rides.
Cynthia asked with concern, “Can you still go on?”

“How can you ask a man whether he can go on or not?” Yoel stared fiercely at the drop tower not far away. “Today, I’ll show them how awesome I am!”
The moment he finished, he ran forward to pick up the two children and dashed ahead for a while.
Lukas and Luna were first taken aback before bursting into laughter.
Behind them, Cynthia couldn’t help but smile as she watched the scene unfold.
Little did she know that Colton and Elsa were nearby and saw everything clearly.
Elsa, who had spent much effort to convince Colton to go out with her. curled her lips into a smile and deliberately said, “Francesca and Mr. Zabielski look like a family, don’t they? After we get engaged, I’ll definitely bear many children for you. Then, we can all go out and have fun. together, isn’t that great?”
As a grim air descended upon Colton, he did not respond to Elsa’s words.
Faced with his silence, Elsa called out again, “Colt?”
Colton responded nonchalantly with a hum before taking out his phone to call Timothy. “Have her show up tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, Colton looked at Elsa and said, “You shouldn’t be exposed to the wind with your current condition. Let’s go back.”
Meanwhile, Cynthia was oblivious to what was going on with Colton and Elsa. She stepped forward and wiped the sweat off the two children’s foreheads. “Let’s take a break.”
At that moment, Luna suddenly hugged Cynthia and said softly, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Uncle Yoel were my father?”

Cynthia shuddered as she looked at Luna. “Why would you think that?”
“Uncle Yoel has been very good to us! He always brings us delicious food, teaches us to read stories, and takes us out to play. I heard from my kindergarten friends that this is what dads do,” Luna said while fidgeting with her little chubby hands. “Mom, will Uncle Yoel become our dad?”
Cynthia was left speechless by the question. Coincidentally, Yoel returned with Lukas, defusing the awkward situation.
After having a blast the entire night, the children fell asleep in the car on the way back.
“1…
As Cynthia looked at the smiling Yoel, a trace of guilt flashed across her heart. “I’m sorry. I know full well how you feel, but I never gave you a direct answer.”
Yoel shook his head to indicate that he didn’t mind. “How can I blame you? Everything I did was out of my own free will. From the very beginning, I’ve been prepared for a long wait.”
Seeing him so calm, Cynthia slightly lowered her head.
She wasn’t sure if the decision she made at that moment was right, but thinking of Luna’s words, she finally made up her mind.
I want you to be the godfather of my children, is that okay?” Cynthia looked calmly into Yoel’s eyes. “Today, Luna mentioned to me that she wanted a father. It made me realize that they really do need a father figure in their lives. Since you have a good relationship with the children, 1 thought…
“I must be crazy to refuse!” Yoel replied as he shot her a glare. “I’m sure you know how much I adore Lukas and Luna. I’d be honored to be their

godfather!”
“But…” Cynthia was worried that she hadn’t made herself clear and wanted to explain again, but Yoel stopped her with a gesture. “I understand what you mean. That said, being a godfather still has an advantage in winning your heart, isn’t it?”
