Chapter 290
After holding the emergency general meeting for shareholders, Cayden skipped work for the first time
to fulfill his paternal obligations by picking up Rory and Zachary from kindergarten.
Seated in the car, Zachary asked him curiously, “It''s not the weekend today, Daddy. How do you have
time to take time off?”
He knew that his father had always been a workaholic and sometimes spent the weekends working
overtime.
However, his father skipping work during work hours was very abnormal to Zachary.
“It is so nice that we don''t have to go to school, Zachary. I''m so happy.” Rory rested her chin on her
hands, and the joy on her face was evident.
With her lively nature, she was at an age that enjoyed spending time ying more than being in
ssrooms.
Cayden gazed at the two children sitting upright in the back seat through the rearview mirror. “I am
taking both of you and Mommy to the amusement park today,” he dered calmly. “We''re dropping by
the house to pick her up.”
Both children opened their mouths wide in shock as if they had heard something incredible.
Daddy is actually taking us to the amusement park. What is happening today? He hates crowded and
lively ces more than anything. Even when we did go to amusement parks, it was Mr. Dartsley who
would take us.
However, Zachary and Rory were still in a superb mood. They always saw other children going to
amusement parks apanied by their parents. The fact that they did not have a mother was
undoubtedly disappointing to them. Therefore, they did not expect to go on an outing with their parents
one day.
Avery''s first thought was to question Cayden''s sanity for still having the mood for a day out.
However, she went with them when she saw the wide, expectant eyes of her two children.
The sun was shining brightly outside. Though the weather had be quite cold, the sunshine made it
feel much warmer.
ustomed to Cayden''s serious appearance in suits and leather shoes, it was the first time Avery saw
him in casual wear—a white down jacket, a pair of dark-colored jeans, and a pair of white casual shoes
on his feet. He looked much younger overall, like a college student who graduated recently.
Avery was suddenly reminded of Cayden''s youth at the sight of his current appearance.
He had been handsome and full of sunshine back then. The image of him sweating profusely with the
other boys on the basketball court yed in her mind on repeat. Like every girl her age who had a
crush, he was hers.
After going around in circles for so many years, we finally ended up together and have two lovely
children. It''s so unbelievable when I think about it.
There were fewer people in the yground as it was a weekday, but it was still very lively.
It was not the children''s first trip to an amusement park, but because they came with their parents this
time, it had be a very happy visit.
Cayden bought the tickets, and the family of four went through the security check and into the park.
The handsome father and the gentle mother held hands in the middle. Then, they held the hand of their
two children on each side. The children were so beautiful that people could not help but stare at what
they consider the epitome of what an ideal family should be.
As the family walked around, they discovered delicious food and were even allowed to have some by
their strict father.
All in all, the family had a great time.
Two men with their faces hidden by peaked caps held DSLR cameras to record their waves ofughter
and loving moments from the shadows.
A CEO like Cayden, who was used to sitting in an office, only frequented high-end ces. In the past,
he would not have bothered to go to amusement parks. Besides, he thought the games catered to
children were too childish.
This time, he came specially to keep Avery and the two childrenpany.
However, Avery and the two children would not allow him to not take part in their games.
That was why all it took was a pleading nce from all three of them for Cayden to obediently fulfill
their wishes. No matter how reluctant he felt, he still opted to y those boring games with Avery and
the children.
There was a small beach in the amusement park, which was separate from the beach outside. It was
built in a huge circr ss house. Colorful shells and stones were scattered on the beach, as well as
tropical nts and flowers, which surrounded the artificially blue sea. The scenery inside looked lovely
under the sun.
It was crowded on the beach with patrons strewn about lying down or sitting up. Young mothers nestled
together and watched their children y withrge smiles on their faces while discussing parenting with
other mothers. There were also some adults and children stepping barefoot in the seawater. The
children carried small buckets and were happily picking up shells by the sea.
Several jet skis cruised along the artificial sea. Men and women seated on the cruise ship were having
a great time.
The crowd filled the beach with a scene of bustling activity.
The ss room was a little hot. Avery helped Rory and Zachary remove their down jackets and boots
and rolled up their trouser legs. She also removed her shoes, threw the clothes and boots to Cayden,
and ran with the children to run towards the waves that washed up the beach.
The innocent children got along well with one another. Especially Rory and Zachary, who were
exceedingly good-looking and therefore more popr amongst the other children.
Avery squatted down and watched her children y with a gentle smile. She kissed their cheeks from
time to time, which caused the two children to squeal with pure delight. The sight of the loving mother
and children stirred envy looks of the crowd.
Cayden took out his mobile phone and quietly recorded the warm scene...
Suddenly, a jet ski rushed which was out of control rushed straight out from the artificial shallow sea,
breaking through the waves like a flying arrow toward the beach.
The rider was a very young mother with a girl about four or five years old in her arms. Her face was full
of tears and she looked frightened.
“Get out of the way!” she shouted in a panic. “The jet ski is out of control. Get out of the way!”
Screams erupted all around as they grabbed their children to safety.
One of the children, about three years old with a shaky gait, was still ying with sand. While his little
feetpped about in the shallow water, his parents were nowhere to be found.
The child''s innocent face shone with a fragile light in the sun as he watched the jet ski approach with
no signs of slowing down. Hisrge eyes stared nkly ahead, unable toprehend what was
happening.
The screams around grew louder. Some women even covered their eyes, not daring to look at the
tragic scene.

Avery noticed it, and her innate kindness drove her to dash out and throw the child to the ground.
Her mind was utterly nk. Holding the young child underneath her body, she bit her lower lip tightly,
closed her eyes, and waited for disaster to strike.
