Chapter 186
Debraâs eyes lit up at the idea. She eagerly asked. âSo, what are same special dishes here in Daprein?â
Hayden smiled and replied, âThere are a few great restaurants. We should check them out.â
âI really want to try the food here! I donât come to Daprein often so I havenât eaten much,â Debra said happily.
âWhat kind of food?â Lillian chimed in, clearly curious.
âItâs delicious!â Kevin said, not knowing much but eager to join in
Looking at Lillian and Kevin, Stacey felt helpless. They didnât know anything about the food, but they were good at joining the chat. Letâs go together!â she suggested with a bright smile.
Stacey went inside, grabbed some toddler leashes, and helped Lilian and Kevin strap them on to keep the kids from wandering off. After packing her bag, she led them outside.
Lillian and Kevin were thrilled. They rushed ahead, their little legs moving as fast as they could. Without the toddler leashes, they surely would have sprinted away. They took the elevator down, left the hotel, and hopped in the car for a food adventure.
The ingredients here were different from what they were used to back home in Zentiscape, and the restaurant decor was a whole new experience. Lillian and Kevin explored the place, checking everything out with wideâeyed curiosity.
Stacey handed the toddler leashes to the maids, Gwen and Marie, so they could keep a watchful eye on the kids while Stacey could take a little breather.
âHow long are you all staying in Daprein?â Hayden asked with a smile. Thereâs a famous amusement park in Nostralis. If youâre interested, you could take Lillian and Kevin there.â
Debra nodded vigorously. âYes! I looked it up before we came. Everyone says you have to take the kids to that amusement park in Nostralis. They wonât regret it!â
âAbsolutely,â Hayden agreed, grinning.
âHave you brought Jeremy here before?â Stacey asked, curious about their past experiences.
Hayden nodded. âYes, I have. I actually have a lot of photos from our trip. Want to see?â He smiled, excited to share. Debraâs eyes sparkled with excitement. âYes! Show me! Jeremy must have been adorable.â
Hayden pulled out his phone, opened the album, and found all the photos from his trip to the amusement park with Jeremy.
Lillian and Kevin, noticing the excitement, scampered back and climbed onto the sofa, their tiny hands flailing in excitement.
Marie and Gwen quickly hoisted the kids up so they could see better on the sofa.
âGrandma, I want to see too!â Lillian whined, trying to peek around Debra, who was blocking her view.
Kevin, feeling the same urgency, tugged at Stacey to get closer.
Both Debra and Stacey turned at the same time, each scooping up a little one, organizing them so all four could enjoy the photos of Jeremy at the amusement park
âLook, itâs Jeremy!â Kevin shouted with glee when he saw Jeremy in one of the photos.

Stacey squeezed Kevinâs hand and smiled. âYes, thatâs right.â
âWow, this place looks amazing!â Lillian marveled, her eyes wide
âWhatâs that?â Kevin asked, pointing at a photo featuring Jeremy by the Ferris wheel.
âI know! Thatâs the Ferris wheel!â Lillian responded excitedly. Tve seen it on TV before. It looks beautiful!â
As they waited for their food, the kids were glued to Jeremyâs photos, gasping and giggling at every new sight.
âDo you both like the amusement park?â Hayden asked the kids with a warm smile.
âYes!â Kevin shouted, bouncing in his seat.
âMe too!ââLillian added, her face lighting up.
Debra smiled at the kids enthusiasm. âIf you like it, we can go there tomorrow! Or maybe the day after tomorrow!â
âWow, I canât wait!â Lillian exclaimed.
âMe neither!â Kevin shouted eagerly.
Just then, the waiter brought out the food along with child seats for the kids. Stacey carefully placed them into the seats.
The moment they settled, Lillian and Kevin grabbed their spoons and dove into the feast. They attempted to serve their food to Hayden as if they were little waiters.
Hayden was taken aback, surprised by their eagerness to share. He quickly grabbed his bowl and pushed it towards the two
Stacey hesitated, ready to stop the children from making a mess. But seeing them serve Hayden, she held back and smiled instead.
âThank you, Lillian. Thank you, Kevin,â Hayden said, grateful for their gesture.
Lillian said, âYouâre welcome.â
Kevin shouted too, âWell, youâre welcome!â
Hayden smiled and said, âTheyâre wellâmannered and polite.â
Stacey chuckled at the kidsâ antics and added, âThey learned how to share food from Jeremy. Heâs wellâeducated, smart, and polite too.â
Hayden was pleasantly surprised. He hadnât realized that Lillian and Kevin would learn from Jeremy. âIt sounds like they have a great bond,â he noted. The thought made Hayden smileâif the three kids got along well, theyâd be happier together.
Debra agreed, saying, âDefinitely, When Lillian and Kevin play together, they often bicker. But with Jeremy around, itâs different. They really like him and tend to listen to what he says!
In playful tones, Lillian and Kevin cheered. âJeremy is awesome!
Seeing their excitement for Jeremy made Hayden feel good. This trip was starting to feel less like a business trip and more
like a mini vacation.
Hayden suggested with a smile, âWe should let the three of them play together more often. Jeremy is older, so he can help teach them how to write.â
Debraâs eyes lit up at the idea. âThatâs a great thought! How did you teach Jeremy to read? Itâs amazing that he can write so well at just three years old.â
