It's... it's just like... like the photo in our house.

Unfortunately, Dad wouldn't let him speak.

A shadow loomed over, and the little bun's eyes widened, his bright eyes shining as if sensing danger, turning dark and baring his teeth.

Mason Nightshade glanced at him, snorted coldly, "You're not that old, but you've got quite the temper, learned a lot of bad habits from Mark Campbell."

This voice...

Aurelia Shaw suddenly looked up, "Mason... Mason Nightshade? What are you doing here?"

Mason Nightshade frowned, hearing her tone, she didn't seem to want him here at all?

"If not me, who do you wish for it to be?"

Jealous over something insignificant again.

"Weren't you at the company? Why are you here?" Aurelia asked suspiciously.

Mason's face showed a flash of unease, but he quickly masked it, speaking naturally, "Just here to handle some matters."

"An amusement park?" The Nightshade Family does have some involvement in amusement parks, "Oh."

Mason glanced at his watch, "Have the two of you eaten yet?"

A sense of awkwardness appeared on the faces of both young and old, Mason Campbell didn't feel much, as kids tend to forget hunger while having fun, but Aurelia...

Nightshade's question reminded Aurelia that she hadn't eaten today.

Mason Nightshade rubbed his brow, gritting his teeth as he said in a deep voice, "We'll settle this later!"

Then he grabbed both the big one and the little one and headed out.

Mason Campbell dodged a bit, still watching Mason Nightshade warily.

He darted to the other side of Aurelia, hugging her leg, pretending to be pitiful to seek protection.

Mason Nightshade snorted coldly; the kid's crafty for his age. Knowing how to exploit his weaknesses and evoke others' sympathy. Must be Mark Campbell's son, both full of cunning.

However, Mason Nightshade wasn't worried about Mark Campbell having any intentions towards Aurelia.

Considering his influence, the Campbell Family wouldn't dare make a move on his woman.

Besides, he could see that this kid genuinely liked Aurelia.

If he could help her open up to the child, that would be good, too. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Suddenly, Mason Nightshade hesitated about whether he was too hasty, concealing from Aurelia about wanting kids, what if...

Mason forcibly pushed that thought away.

No "what ifs," it's a hurdle she'll need to overcome eventually, she just hasn't realized she's become indifferent to it.

He merely needs to take this step first.

...

There wasn't a restaurant nearby the amusement park, so Mason planned to drive them into the city. He took the car keys from Aurelia's hand, looking at the seemingly low-key, but internally not-so-low-key car in the parking lot.

He raised an eyebrow, "Did you really bring him out with this car?"

The car appeared ordinary from the outside, but it had the performance of a sports car, going from zero to fifty in no time.

She really dared to drive it.

Aurelia smiled, pinched the little bun's face, "He said he wasn't afraid."

Mason Campbell, afraid Mason Nightshade would bully Aurelia, nodded vigorously.

Mason Nightshade scoffed, disbelieving, got in the car, and once the two settled, with a "vroom," the car shot off!

The little bun was scared and clung tightly to Aurelia, his small body trembling slightly, not out of fear, just because... Aurelia Shaw's embrace was warm, and he really wanted to snuggle.

"Mason Nightshade!" Aurelia frowned.

Mason saw Mason Campbell curled up in Aurelia's embrace through the rearview mirror, smiled wickedly, "I thought he really wasn't afraid."

Mason Campbell: "..."

Hmph, he wasn't scared!

It's just that Aurelia Shaw's embrace smelled nice, and he couldn't bear to leave it.
