Lying in bed, Jacob had a dreamless sleep until the next morning.
Thud!
After resuming her usual self, Janelle kicked open the door and went to his bed to pester him
coquettishly. “Get up, Jacob! Bring me to go out and play!”
He then sat up with his back straight before he stretched lazily.
“Wow, Jacob! I didn’t know that you’re pretty muscular!” Janelle exclaimed, covering her mouth with her
eyes widened as she saw Jacob’s lean arm muscles.
He merely shot a quick glance at her before shaking his head. Then, he got out of bed. “Where would
you like to go?”
“There are so many places I would like to visit!” Her eyes shone with excitement while she counted off
her fingers. “The Sea World, Dixy Land, and Greenfields!”

“That’s right!” A look of longing overtook Janelle’s face. “That’s where all the hipsters like to go! They
have everything you need – food, clothes, and games! Even if you spend three days there, it won’t be
enough!”
“Sounds good. Let’s go to Greenfields then.” Jacob nodded.
“For real?” Janelle’s eyes lit up.
“In your dreams! You are not allowed to go anywhere today!” The head of the family had arrived at the
door.
Franklin walked into the room, looking a few years younger in his suit. “I already gave you permission
to go out and play yesterday, yet you still want to go out today? Hmph! You’d better stay home and do
your revision obediently!”
“Gosh, Dad! Are you really going to be this mean to me?” Janelle was on the verge of tears.
Franklin could not be bothered with her dramatic acts at this point. Instead, he turned around and said
to Jacob in a business-like tone. “Are you leaving with me, or are you planning to stay home?”
Jacob shook his head. “It’s more comfortable here.”
“Sure.” Franklin gave a wave of his hand. “You could also keep an eye on your sister so that she does
her homework.”
After throwing a helpless glance to Janelle, he nodded.
Contrary to his plan to stay home, he received a call half an hour after his father left, and he went out
after that.
At that moment, Janelle looked resentful, as though she had been abandoned by her family. When he
thought of the look on her face after he arrived at Moira’s place, he still felt funny.
He waited for less than two minutes before Moira appeared, dressed in professional attire with Heidi
bouncing up and down next to her.

good spirits.
Looking at his daughter’s cuteness, Jacob nodded happily. “Good morning, my little princess!”
“This little fellow is very troublesome indeed.” Moira’s beautiful face looked exasperated as she tugged
on Heidi’s hands. “Since this morning, she has been pestering to go to Dixy Land.”
After a pause, she looked at Jacob curiously before asking, “Why do you seem fairer than yesterday?”
“Is that so?” He shrugged. “It’s the lighting, perhaps.”
Nevertheless, it was actually due to the fact that Wayne forgot to darken himself before he hit the road
just now, as he was in a hurry.
When Heidi saw that both adults were about to engage in a conversation, she lifted her head and
proclaimed, “You promised me yesterday, Aunt Moira! You said that as long as I go to kindergarten
without putting on a fight, you’ll bring me to see Dixy on Sunday!”
Moira rolled her eyes at her. “But I have to work! Otherwise, where do I get the money to buy pretty
clothes and good food for you?”
