"Stay at ho, sweep the floor, mop the floor, fold the quilt, wipe the glass... and make skewers with mommy. Mommy needs a lot of skewers for her stall," Kyle Kinston said.
Mabel Quinn was taken aback. She hadn’t expected that he had to do so much housework, and the skewers he ntioned were likely barbecue skewers. She rembered him saying that he used to help his mother at a barbecue stall when he was a child.
"What about kindergarten? Didn’t you go to kindergarten?" she asked.
He blinked, then shook his head.
Mabel was a bit stunned. If she had ever thought her childhood was not very happy, then compared to Kyle’s, hers was not even comparable.
She also rembered that when she was little, she wanted nothing more than to go out and play with her parents and brother, hoping her parents would take her along.
But until her father passed away, that dream remained just a dream.
"How about sister takes you to the amusent park today?" she couldn’t help but suggest.
His eyes suddenly lit up with a certain brilliance, "Does sister really want to take to the amusent park?"
"Of course it’s true," she said with a smile. "But you’re still sick, so you have to take your dicine obediently, and you can’t play too hard. If you feel any discomfort, you have to tell sister imdiately, okay?"
He nodded vigorously, his face full of obvious joy, which made Mabel glad about her decision.
After a night of heavy rain yesterday, today’s weather was exceptionally good. Bringing along so necessities for the trip, Mabel asked the driver to take them to the amusent park, which surprised the driver quite a bit.
Naturally, to avoid the driver noticing anything unusual, Mabel also instructed Kyle to speak as little as possible on the way.
At the amusent park, Mabel asked the driver to head back first, then took Kyle to buy tickets and entered the park.
This was a thed amusent park, filled with various cartoon characters everywhere. Because it wasn’t a day off, the park was relatively less crowded. Kyle seed very fascinated, his eyes wide open as he looked at everything around.
Mabel too had never been to an amusent park before. In the past, she wanted to visit but never had the chance. Later, as she got older, she stopped thinking about it.
Bringing Kyle here today was also a brand new experience for her.
After checking so online guides, Mabel took Kyle to queue up and they enjoyed the rry-go-round, took the mini train, rode the pirate ship... Kyle’s face was glowing with happiness.
After getting off the pirate ship, Mabel took out a tissue and wiped Kyle’s sweat. "If you’re tired, just let know."
"I’m not tired," Kyle said with a smile. "I’m so happy today, sister is playing with . I’ve never been this happy before."
Seeing his smiling face, she felt that as long as she could make him smile like this, she would be willing to do anything.
What was he like at six? He must have been really cute.
At that ti, was his mother both raising and abusing him? And was what Dorian Howards ntioned about "past encounters" related to his mother?
Many questions arose in her mind, but none had answers.
"I’m going to buy so water, wait for here," Mabel said. After all, soone with a cold still needs to drink more water.
