hand
The three of them arrived at a cafe. As Alistair inserted a straw into the coffee and handed it to Audrey, he remembered to apologize. “Sorry for being late and making you feel uncomfortable!”
After buying the coffee, he worried that Audrey and Sunny might be hungry after all the playtime, so he went next door to get some pastries and cream puffs. He didn’t expect to walk back into the scene from earlier.
Audrey waved her hand dismissively. “We didn’t feel uncomfortable she rephed softly.
She wasn’t that fragile, and even if Alistair hadn’t come, she wouldn’t have let anyone bully her. Just as she was thinking this, a soft, squishy cream pull appeared in front of her. Turning her head, she met Sunny’s round, beautiful eyes.
Sunny stubbornly held the cream puff out toward her. Audrey paused for a moment, her eyes lighting up as she asked softly. “Sunny, is this for me?
Sunny nodded slightly. This surprised even Alistair. Sunny is actually willing to approach Audrey on his own!” he thought.
The earlier unpleasantness was washed away by this unexpected delight. Audrey beamed. Thank you, Sunny”
She bent down to take the cream paff, then grabbed another piece and offered it to Sunny. “Let’s eat together, Sunny,”
Sunny obediently accepted it, cradling it in his small hands and taking a tiny bite, which made Audrey’s eyes sparkle
Watching from the side, Alistair suddenly felt like an outsider, an inexplicable sadness welling up inside him Fortunately, Audrey finally remembered him and pushed a piece of cake toward him. “You should eat too.

Alistair’s furrowed brow finally relaxed. While he didn’t receive the same treatment as Audrey’s hand–feeding, at least be hadn’t been forgotten.
Audrey could clearly feel Sunny’s change in attitude toward her. He would take the initiative to hold her hand, follow her without negling excuses, and even wipe her sweat with a tissue, mimicking Alistair…
During their time together, Audrey had noticed Sunny’s progress. He was observing actively, mimicking adult behavior, and could remember sumple patterns.
As long as I keep intervening. Sunny will surely get better! Audrey saw hope and became even gentler with Sunny.
The family of three enjoyed afternoon tea before continuing to explore the amusement park. Alistair carried the big white goose he had won for Sunny“–
With his cool, distinguished demeanor, Alistair holding the fluffy toy attracted many curious glances. Yet, he didn’t mind the attention, closely following Audrey
They played until evening and had dinner outside before driving home. On the way back. Audrey and Sunny fell asleep snuggled up in the back
Alistair drove, his gaze softening as he looked at them in the rearview mirror. When they arrived at their apartment complex, neither of them had woken up

“Shh!” Audrey glanced at the sleeping Summy in her arms, signaling to Alistair, and carefully lifted Sunny out of the car. Alistair locked the car and softly said. “Let me take him. He’s a bit heavy.”
Without a second thought, Audrey shook her head, “It’s fine. I can handle it.”
After a full day of fun, her bond with Sunny had visibly deepened, and she naturally didn’t want to let him go.
Once in the children’s room. Audrey gently helped Sunny take off his clothes and shoes to get him ready for bed. Sunny was sound asleep. Yet Audrey couldn’t rest easy and chose to stay by his bedside.
Feeling a bit jealous, Alistair stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “Darling, it’s getting late. We should go to bed soon!”
