Come to think of it, that was pretty bad.


    Little Cecilia’s death must also have been hard on Mercedes, even if she didn’t know exactly what death meant. And Dn had to juggle thepany and take care of his emotions.


    It had been a very difficult time for them.


    -I’m sorry for worrying you all this time.


    -Silly, there’s nothing to apologise for. We are a family, aren’t we? Candy is very understanding, she knows you’re in a bad mood and that you’re anxious too. We both conspired to n what happened today, and it seems to have worked quite well.


    -Not bad at all.


    Vanessa smiled.


    She especially liked this ce, and she liked it even more when Dn and Cecilia had their hearts set on it.


    -It’s good that it’s good. We are relieved that you like it here, and happy at the same time. vanessa, I hope the sadness will soon pass. My aunt is no longer here, but Candy and I will be by her side. We both love you and we will always be by your side.


    Dn looked at Vanessa with special seriousness, and her words softened his heart.


    It was warm and sweet at the same time.


    He realised that those who had died should not be so immersed in their grief that they neglected those around them who still needed their care.


    -Don’t worry, I’ll adjust after today.


    -That’s good.


    Dn was relieved to see that the heaviness in Vanessa’s forehead was truly gone.


    -Come on, mum and dad, the swans areing.


    Cecilia, crouched by theke, turned and waved cheerfully to the two, motioning for Dn and Vanessa toe closer. She had run down to theke when she saw the swans and now that they wereing she thought she would feed them something.


    But dad had said he couldn’t go near theke.


    Cecilia said she was a good girl and would stay away from theke to be safe.


    -Let’s go.


    Dn grabbed Vanessa’s hand and pulled her towards his daughter.


    -Dad, what do the swans eat? They are swimming around here you see, what do I feed them?


    Cecilia blinked excitedly and looked at Dn expectantly; as far as she was concerned, her father could do anything, so whatever the swans ate shouldn’t be too difficult for him.


    -I think there’s something for the swans around here, I’ll go and ask. Wait for me here and be good, okay?


    -Yes, I’ll be good, daddy, go on.


    Cecilia couldn’t wait to feed the swans and urged Dn with an anxious look.


    -Well, Dad is leaving now.


    Dn smiled helplessly and leaned over to give Cecilia’s fleshy face a gentle squeeze before turning to leave.


    He soon returned with a small bag that the ranch had dedicated to feeding the swans.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Of course, the swans here are wild, not hand-fed. The meadow is so pleasant and safe that even wild swans are not afraid of people, let alone their proximity.


    After Cecilia had brought out the specially prepared food for the swans, a few swans suddenly approached much faster.


    -Be careful.


    Cecilia ced the food for the swans in her small palm, while Vanessa gently reminded her, reaching out to protect the little one so that she would be safer.


    The swan soon swam towards her.


    He doesn’t even hesitate when he sees the food in Cecilia’s hand. Her long, graceful neck bends down and she eats it gently.


    After feeding the first, the others followed.


    It was clear that the animals were just animals, but they knew how to queue.


    Cecilia was smiling brightly as she fed the swans. Looking at her daughter’s smiling face made Vanessa’s mood lighter and happier. Later she put food in her hand and fed the swans together with her daughter.


    And Dn stood beside the two of them, watching them carefully.


    -Mum, I still want to go and feed the smelt, and thembs. Shall we go there now? With daddy, okay?


    -Well, Candy will have to ask Dad to do it. If Dad agrees, we’ll go.


    Vanessa smiled at her daughter, raising her hand to wipe the beads of sweat from the tip of her nose from her enthusiasm for feeding the swans.


    -Dad, will you take me and mum to feed the smelt and thembs?


    -Of course.


    How could Dn refuse his daughter’s offer?


    -Come on, daddy will take you there with daddy.


    -Mmm.


    Cecilia nodded vigorously with excitement and stood up taking Vanessa’s hand. Pulling her mother to Dn’s side, she grabbed Dn’s hand herself and lunged forward.


    The family is holding hands, with the warmth of the sun on their backs.


    What a touching scene.


    Children seem to have an inexhaustible amount of energy when ites to cute little animals.


    Cecilia was no different.


    First he fed the deer, then thembs, and finally he visited the flowers and saw the ss house of flowers.


    In short, there was no time for the child to be idle.


    As dusk fell, the girl was so sleepy that she fell asleep in Dn’s arms.


    -Enough fun atst.


    Vanessa smiled at her blushing daughter andughed.


    -It’s not that she’s tired of ying and is sleepy, she can go on ying.


    Dn joked.


    It was good that his daughter was active, bold and cheerful, he liked that.


    -Did you have fun today?


    Dn asked, looking at Vanessa with a smile as he gently hugged his daughter.


    -Yes.


    I was really happy, not just happy.


    Not only for the view, but also because she felt that Dn and his daughter cared about her. It made Vanessa happy and warm at the same time, and she was sure that day would be a precious part of her memory.


    -Do you like it here?


    -Yes, I know. It’s nice to go for a walk if you’re not busy. You can see the sights and the animals, and the air is fresh.


    -The ranch is actually quite big, and there’s a bigwn there, and a bigvender field. I’ll bring them over some day when we get a chance.


    -Of course.


    Vanessa said with a nod of her head.


    He liked the ce very much.


    -I have a present for you when we get back.


    Vanessa nced sideways at Dn, who was looking down at himself with a soft smile in the corner of his eyes, focused and serious, an affectionate look that made his face blush.


    -What is the gift?


    -A secret.


    Dn deliberately sold out, refusing to tell Vanessa directly.


    She deliberately pretended to be angry and continued:


    -Are you really not going to tell me?


    -Good girl, you’ll find out when we get back.


    Seeing that Dn was determined to keep his mouth shut, Vanessa asked no more questions, as she had said she would when she returned.


    As Cecilia was still asleep, they ate out casually to pamper themselves before returning home.
