Ellinor chuckled. "Alright! We're going to the amusement park, and today, Mommy will be there with you until the evening. We can even watch the fireworks show; how about that?"
"Yay!"
"Yay!"
"Yay!"
The three little ones unanimously agreed.
The other two, who were initially grumpy, suddenly forgot their grievances at the thought of going to the amusement park.
Baber rubbed his belly, trying to mask the grumbling sound from his stomach. He didn't want to spoil the mood.
But Ellinor, with her sharp ears, picked up on it. "Are you hungry, Baber? Should we go grab something to eat first?"
Baber blushed and gave a shy yet delighted smile.
Adrian and Layla also chimed in, "Mommy, Mommy, we're hungry too. I want pizza!"
"I want a beef burger!"
Ignoring the two, Ellinor asked Baber, "What would you like to eat, Baber? You've been so good today, so Mommy wants to reward you. Whatever you say goes!"
Only then did Baber's unease and insecurity fade away completely. He smiled and said, "I also want a burger and pizza, Mommy. Let's just go with what my little brother and sister want!"
Saddened by Baber's understanding nature, Ellinor agreed. "Alright! Let's get going!"
