Chapter 5
Hed the applause and said, “Erile’s dad is so handsome, Your family is really a perfect match, you can tell at first glance that you are a family,”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around who knew me and Joaquin took a sharp
breath.
They all lowered their heads and whispered among themselves.
Joaquin panicked and grabbed my arm, saying, “Diana, are you okay?”
Impatiently, I interrupted him, saying, “What do you mean ‘whether or not‘? Your wife and children are waiting for you.”
lowered my head and held my daughter’s hand. Her expression remained sad, and she looked disappointedly at her father.
Then, obediently, he turned around and walked with me.
Joaquin quickly caught up with us, following behind.
Sweating profusely in a hurry, “I know I was wrong. I was originally carrying the keychain well, but
on Erik’s birthday, he immediately took a liking to it. As an elder, I couldn’t refuse.”
What a person who is hard to refuse, he had the audacity to refuse to cook a meal for me.
I felt sorry for refusing my daughter’s wish to go to the amusement park.
But I couldn’t bring myself to refuse Nyla and her son.
I had nothing to say about it, so I looked down at my daughter.
Lia pursed her lips and thought for a moment. She lifted her head and stubbornly asked, “Then, can
Dad come with us?”
This foolish girl still loved her father in her heart, but in the end, it disappointed her.
A struggling expression appeared on Joaquin’s face as he slowly said, “Lia is the most sensible. Erik will be mocked without a father present. Can you please stay and finish the activity with him before leaving, Dad?”
The usually obedient daughter, at this moment, refused to budge. She shook her head firmly and said, “Dad, you can only be someone’s father, you can’t be so unfaithful.”
Joaquin looked ashamed, he glanced at me and then touched Lia’s head.
ia is right, I will go back with you guys.”
The gloom on the daughter’s face instantly disappeared, the happiness of children is just that

simple, she took Joaquin’s hand and walked out.
Just then, a choked sob came: “Uncle Joaquin, are you really leaving?”
Joaquin’s body froze instantly, and he turned his head to see Erik crying with a flushed face.
So Joaquin wavered once again.
Lia seemed to have sensed it and anxiously grabbed his hand, pulling him forward.
Joaquin remained motionless.
Lia’s remaining hope gradually faded away.
I sighed and walked away with my daughter, who was no longer stubborn.
That day, I took my daughter to the amusement park she had been longing for.
This was the place she had always wanted the three of us to come together. But I and she waited and waited, waited and waited.
Joaquin, however, never had any free time.
He could take Nyla to the aquarium and could accompany Erik to catch dolls.
When facing me and my daughter, she always complained about herself being tired, bossing us
around.
His tenderness and indulgence were all given to outsiders.
Coldness and selfishness have been given to us.
Oh no, perhaps my daughter and I were the outsiders.
But now, I didn’t care anymore. I played crazily with my daughter all day.
After playing tiredly, one person held an ice cream and sat on a rocking chair, eating slowly.
The daughter’s face was covered with food, just like a little kitten.
I took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped her face.
The daughter, however, suddenly said out of the blue, “Mom, if you and dad got divorced, could you take me with you?”
My actions came to a sudden halt, and I looked at her in astonishment.
