Much like boysâ natural fascination with sports cars, Dexter and Sebastian wasted no time sliding down the slide to catch a glimpse of the flashy sports car in the courtyard.
It seemed like Candice was particularly fond of this sports car as well. âWow, this car is so cool. Dexter and Sebastian, can we ask Mommy to buy one too?â
Candice seemed to have a telepathic connection with Dexter and Sebastian, effortlessly tuning into their thoughts.
The two young boys turned to look at Candice with a serious expression. In their brief nod, they shifted their attention back to the sports car.
Suppressing their curiosity, they engaged in a thoughtful conversation.
âI donât think weâve ever seen this car before, Dexter remarked.
âI really wish we could sit in it and go for a ride,â Sebastian added.
âBut Mommy told us not to go near strangers,â Candice reminded.
At that very moment, the driverâs side door swung open, and the driver strode toward the rear trunk.
Once the three little cuties realized that the handsome man was David, their excitement. surged, and they rushed over.
âUncle David, Uncle David, Uncle Davidâ¦â
Hearing the endearing calls of his nieces and nephew, David paused what he was doing, crouched down, and eagerly awaited their warm hugs.
After their affectionate greetings, the trunk of the sports car popped open, and it was ast if David was performing pure magic.
One fascinating toy after another suddenly materialized right in front of the little ones.
âWow, this is my favorite doll, and her dress is so beautiful!â Candice immediately spotted her gift.
In fact, her room was practically overflowing with dolls. Just like how every girlâs closet. always yearned for one more pretty dress, she had no resistance when it came o dolls.
She held her beloved toy, unwilling to part with it. âThank you, Uncle David, I love you. the most,â she said, then tip-toed to plant a hearty kiss on Davidâs check.
Dexter and Sebastian each received a toy sports car and a Transformers toy, and their joy knew no bounds.
They were bursting with excitement, eager to take their toy cars for a spin. David was well aware of their impatience and had thoughtfully ensured that the salesperson had fully charged the toys for them.
At that moment, Kimberly and Olivia emerged upon hearing the commotion. Kimberly playfully teased, âDavid, if you keep pampering them like this, youâre definitely spoiling them.â
However, David didnât seem concerned. âOur kids deserve all the pampering so they can stand strong out there!â
There was an underlying meaning in Davidâs words, likely hinting at his awareness of the recent incident at the kidsâ kindergarten.
It appeared that he had made a special visit to find out about the incident. Despite his usually hectic schedule, David made an effort to visit them nearly every weekend.
Seeing Dexter and Sebastian having so much fun, Candice also became interested.
She rushed over and tugged at the hem of Kimberlyâs dress. âMommy, I want to play with Dexter and Sebastian too.â
Kimberly, noticing the eager look in Candiceâs eyes, crouched down and affectionately patted her head.
Kimberly blinked her big eyes, her amber eyes playfully rolling around, purposefully giving herself an adorable and clever look.
âI believe you can solve this problem on your own!â
She pointed toward Dexter and Sebastian and said with gentleness, âRight now, thereâs only one princess, but we have two knights. Iâm sure theyâd be thrilled to take the princess for a ride.â
Upon hearing Kimberlyâs suggestion, Candice quickly had an idea. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she addressed Dexter and Sebastian. âMy dearest knights, today, the princess desires an adventure. What do you say we settle this with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors? The winner gets to accompany the princess!â
It was quite surprising how well Candice handled the situation with just a bit of guidance.
When Candice initially expressed her desire to ride in the sports car, she expected Dexter and Sebastian to readily agree as soon as Kimberly mentioned it to them.
However, Kimberly deviated from the usual script. She used the moment to teach Candice the importance of self-reliance.
It didnât take long to determine the winner. Candice happily took her place in Dexterâs car, and Dexter even chivalrously opened the door for her.
David gazed at Kimberly affectionately. âYou certainly have a knack for this, but raising kids is quite a skill.â
He truly believed that when it came to parenting, he was a straightforward person who preferred directness.
Kimberly instantly grasped his point and playfully teased, âDavid, youâll have to find an exceptionally patient wife in the future. Parenting isnât just about discipline and punishment; itâs important to impart valuable lessons through enjoyable activities. Iâve learned that over the past few years.â
She cast another glance at Olivia and continued, âPractice is the ultimate measure of truth. I have plans to write a book in the future, sharing these valuable experiences with all of you. What do you say?â
Oliviaâs interest was piqued. âGreat, Iâm eagerly anticipating the transformation of the female CEO into a super mom!â
The three little ones were thoroughly enjoying themselves, and Dexter and Sebastian began a lively race with their toy cars. Fortunately, the Larson residence offered ample space for them to have plenty of fun in the yard.
John and a few serva nts were keeping an eye on the kids. After Kimberly provided some instructions, she headed back to the living room, accompanied by David and Olivia.
âDavid, you usually only have time to visit them on weekends. Why the surprise visit today?â Kimberly asked, already knowing the answer.
David was extremely protective of the kids. Upon hearing from Vincent that they had a tough time at kindergarten, he rushed over to assess the situation.
âThese three are my precious gems. If anyone tries to bully them, I wonât tolerate it.â
Originally, Vincent was planning to come along, but he had to attend an urgent. meeting.
Kimberly playfully turned to Olivia and flashed a mischievous smile, as if to say, âYou, young lady, you and David still insist that nothingâs happening.â
Olivia naturally picked up on Kimberlyâs teasing, expecting that Kimberly might playfully accuse her of prioritizing her romantic interests over her responsibilities later.
David continued, âWho are they? They must be quite audacious to bully our kids.â
As he spoke, he even warned. âKimberly, you canât simply ignore this.â
Watching Davidâs furious expression, Olivia couldnât help but reflect, âIndeed, family traits run deep.â
âIf youâre not comfortable dealing with it, I can handle this matter.â
Kimberly could sense Davidâs anger in his words, and she knew he wouldnât easily let go. of this issue.
âDavid, the situation has already been resolved. Please donât worry. I understand that the environment plays a significant role in shaping a personâs character, so Iâll keep a close watch on the kidsâ school.â
Then, she proceeded to provide David with a detailed account of the entire incident.
Upon hearing that the matter had been resolved and that Zackery Materials Corporation had been cleared, David experienced a profound sense of relief. However, when he heard the name âWilliam,â
his expression darkened considerably.
That sly man was undeniably cun ning, and Zackery Materials Corporation was likely just one of his hidden pawns, leaving the question of how many more remained to be uncovered.
