Yvonne's words tugged at Christian's heart. He rested his chin gently on her head and said, "You have me. I'll keep you company.""Alright, then," Yvonne replied reluctantly, no longer fussing.Christian knew she wasn't happy. He just didn't understand that what she really wanted was Talia's company.Sometimes, even children couldn't fully understand their own feelings.Yvonne nestled against Christian's chest. When she turned slightly, she saw Talia happily taking pictures of Maeve. They were having a great time, completely unaware of her and Christian behind them.But that happiness was something Talia refused to share with her.Not wanting to watch anymore, Yvonne said to Christian, "Daddy, let's go try something else."Since Christian wanted to cheer her up, he agreed without hesitation.Still worried, he cautiously suggested, "But just for a little while, okay? Your injury hasn't fully healed yet."Yvonne nodded and promised, "I know. Just for a little while."Christian

Maeve's words resonated deeply within Quentin.He glanced down to see Talia and Evan sitting together on a bench under the shade of a tree. They were talking, and a faint smile appeared on Talia's face.Although it was subtle, Quentin clearly saw that she was smiling.Looking toward Talia, he solemnly told Maeve, "Maeve, I will be the one to make Talia happy."…Under the tree, Talia handed Evan a bottle of water. After taking a sip, Evan looked up at her and said, "Ms. Stewart, Yvonne, Maeve, and I are classmates. We all go to the same kindergarten."Talia had already guessed as much. She smiled gently and asked Evan, "Why did you and Quentin come to this amusement park today?"She was suspicious about the coincidence of this meeting.Evan handed the bottle back to Talia and replied, "My dad went on a business trip today. He asked Quentin to take me out."Talia nodded in understanding. "I see."It seemed that she had overthought it. Perhaps it really was just a coincidence.

When Evan raised his voice, Quentin quickly crouched, covered Evan's mouth, and made a gesture for him to keep quiet.Evan understood and nodded fast.Once Quentin let go, he tapped Evan's head and said, "After I take care of this, I promise that I'll take you to the haunted house. I'll even take you to different ones."Evan rolled his eyes and said, disgruntled, "You only know how to make empty promises."Quentin pressed his palms together as if he were pleading with him. "Please, I'm begging you."Seeing that, Evan thought for a moment before he finally muttered, "Fine."However, he quickly added, "But Quentin, Maeve is super scary. I want to be friends with her, but I'm too scared to talk to her."Quentin had already noticed how much Evan feared Maeve. But he knew that even though Maeve looked a little fierce, she was actually well-behaved and very kind.Quentin couldn't help thinking of himself. If only he had been firmer about doing what he wanted before Talia and Christia

Christian's lecture went over Maeve's head, but she firmly refuted his words. "That's not true! Mom and Dad said that Aunt Talia's last name is Stewart, and as long as she wants to come back, the Stewart residence will always be her home. So her home is here, not with you."Christian's expression darkened at her words. He gazed at Maeve with complex emotions, unsure of what to say.Maeve defended Talia because she loved her. As her uncle by marriage, what right did he have to criticize a child's words?When Christian remained silent, Maeve spoke again. "I won't let you take Aunt Talia away."Talia stood to the side, watching Maeve defend her so fiercely, and her eyes couldn't help but redden. But when she gave it more thought, if what Christian said was true and he really knew where the marriage certificate was, she was willing to make the trip.So before Christian lost his patience, Talia picked Maeve up and set her down in the center of the living room."Maeve, I have to go wit

Franklin was even more delighted when Christian agreed to his request. Talia held back her questions and waited until Franklin went to rest.After the two went upstairs, Talia stood by the door, not even willing to step inside, and straightforwardly asked, "Christian, what are you trying to pull now?"She had come to the Lane residence with him because he had said that he'd found the marriage certificate, not to put on an act for Franklin. What was the point of pretending when it was all fake anyway?Seeing Talia's indignant expression, Christian smiled slightly, then grasped her arm. "Let's talk inside."Talia resisted somewhat and broke free from his grip. "I can walk by myself."She entered the room in a huff and took a seat on the couch. Christian sat beside her, turned to face her, and said, "Grandpa has the marriage certificate."Talia froze for a moment, but quickly understood. Out of all the Lane family members, only Franklin hoped that she and Christian would stay togeth
