Chapter 1348 Nurturing Rtionships
It was Friday night and the family gathered together to have dinner as usual. Le took a quick nce
at everyone. They were all busy eating.
"Tomorrow is a weekend and there''s no school." Le broke the silence. "Why don''t we take rk and
Shirley to the amusement park? The kids study very hard all week. I think it''s a perfect time to enjoy."
Melissa had no objections. She always agreed with Le.
Sheryl also wanted to hang out with her kids but the thought that Le and Melissa would join them
made her feel sick. However, she couldn''t think of any other reason to say no. Besides, it was not a big
deal. So she also nodded.
Charles wouldn''t make himself a wet nket by refusing the proposal since everyone seemed to like
this idea.
"Great! That''s it then. We''re all going to the amusement park tomorrow!" Le announced, gazing at
Charles lovingly. She felt proud that he agreed to her proposal. But, as usual, he ignored her.
All young and young at heart love amusement parks; rk and Shirley were no exception. Upon
hearing the n, they jumped and cheered with joy. The unhappiness that the school work had brought
them now disappeared and their gloomy hearts cleared up.
"Mom, I''ll go to the park wearing my lovely new hat. Don''t forget to remind me to bring it tomorrow!"
Shirley hadn''t stopped capering and pping since she heard the decision. Now she was busy thinking
what she should bring with her tomorrow.
"All right, all right! I promise." Sheryl was amused by her lovely little girl. She patted her hair tenderly
and smiled.
"Please wake me up early. I don''t want to bete." Shirley put on a wide smile and blinked at her mom,
fluttering her long eyshes, her big eyes filled with expectation.
rk, who was sitting beside her, also grinned with excitement. ''Great! We can have a wonderful time
tomorrow!'' he thought.
"Okay! I''ll knock on your door to wake you up before the sun rises,zy piggy." Hearing Sheryl''s words,
Charles couldn''t helpugh out loud. With the woman he loved and his adorable children around him,
he felt so blessed.
"I''m notzy piggy! rk is!" Shirley yelled at Sheryl, pouting. She blushed as her father continued
rk sighed and pulled his sister''s hair gently to get even.
It was alreadyte, but the children were so excited that they couldn''t fall asleep. They lied in their little
beds with their eyes widely opened and kept chattering.
"I''ll count to three, then you need to close your eyes and sleep. Or else, I won''t take you to the park
tomorrow," Sheryl threatened them. Sheryl had tried her best to put the kids to sleep for thest 30
minutes but failed. The children were too energetic to be put into bed. They ended upughing and
chatting instead.
"Okay, Mom. We''ll sleep right now! Good night!" With this, rk and Shirley pulled the quilt and closed
their eyes. "Good night." Sheryl stood up and carefully walked towards the door. Holding the door knob,
she took a quick look at the children before she closed the door, but saw them open their eyes again.
Sheryl felt amused. She walked back in, tucked the quilt around the children and left the room. It had
been a while since shest saw the children this happy. There was no harm in letting them rx a little.
Sheryl had hardly closed the door when she heard the children''s giggles again.
To everyone''s disappointment, Charles got a phone call from thepany, telling him that there was
an emergency. Needless to say, he couldn''t go to the amusement park with the children any more.
"Sorry, kids. I have something very important to do now and I can''t go with you today. Mom will take
you there instead. I wish you have a good time. I''ll go with you next time. I promise. Okay?"
rk and Shirley were a little frustrated and disappointed. They lowered their heads and pouted their
mouths. But they were both sensible children. They could understand their dad, so they didn''t cry or

yell.
"All right, Dad. We understand," rk answered.
"We can go to the amusement park together next time!" Shirley added in a hopeful tone. They tapped
on their father''s arm,forting him.
Charles was moved by his children. They were like little angels. How lucky he was to have such lovely
and understanding kids!
"Dad loves you both." Charles hugged them in his arms and gave each of them a tender kiss on the
cheek.
"Don''t worry about us. I''ll take care of rk and Shirley," Sheryl smiled warmly, her eyes focused on
her lovely family.
"Thank you, Sher." Charles walked towards Sheryl, letting go of his kids. "You should also take good
care of yourself because you are my baby too!" Charles leaned against Sheryl and whispered in her
ear. Sheryl blushed, shyness and happiness filled her eyes.
Standing close to each other, Charles wrapped his arms around Sheryl''s waist to pull her closer. They
gazed into each other''s eyes lovingly, dismissing everything else around them. It seemed that they
were emerged in pink bubbles of love and nobody could step inside. Le, who was standing beside,
clenched her teeth wrathfully.
"Please take them to the amusement park and please make sure that they are safe. Call me
immediately if anything happens," Charles told the driver.
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Charles reminded them again to be careful before he left home for work.
The amusement park was busy as expected on a weekend. It took them some time to find a parking
space.
They arrived there at noon, when the heat of the sun was at its peak. As they got out of the car, the
heat wave came at them. Despite the hot weather, the children were still full of energy as always. They
wiped the sweat off their foreheads and rushed into the park impatiently.
"Aunt Melissa, Sheryl, it''s so hot. I''ll take care of rk and Shirley, so you two can take a rest,"
suggested Le. "I''ll take them to the merry-go-round first. Kids sure like that."
She pulled a handkerchief out of her handbag and patted on her sweating forehead.
Le believed that she needed to spend more time with the two children, so they would be fond of
her and she would win their hearts soon. After all, children are naive and credulous.
Le put on a wide and warm smile, that nobody noticed the coldness in her eyes.
"I don''t see why not," Melissa acknowledged. "Thank you, Le." Melissa nced at Sheryl with disdain
as she said these words, highlighting the sarcasm in her tone as she continued, "How considerate of
you!"
Melissa was delighted to see Le actively approach the children. She could y with them and get
along with no issues. Deep inside, Melissa really liked Le and she would be very happy if her son,
Charles, would marry her. They would form an enviably happy family if the children liked their new
mother.
After Charles and Sheryl got divorced, she wouldn''t let thetter take the children away, especially
rk, her grandson. Since Le would be their new mother someday anyway, Melissa believed
that she should start nurturing rtionships with them as soon as possible.
