"I was just being clumsy. I dropped the cake on myself and got frosting all over," Cynthia said, downying the incident.


    Mrs. Gable didn''t press the matter. She efficiently pulled a clean set of clothes from the closet and handed them to Cynthia.


    "Put these in the bathroom for me, and draw a bath while you''re at it," Cynthia said. "A bath now? Aren''t you going back to the party?" Mrs. Gable asked, confused.


    "No. I''m a bit tired. I want to rest after my bath. Don''t let anyone disturb me." With that, Cynthia, still in her soiled clothes, walked directly into the bathroom.


    Yvonne and Bet left after seeing Cynthia back to her room.


    However, they didn''t return to the party. Instead, they took a leisurely stroll around the ind.


    The ind''s scenery and climate were pleasant. The evening breeze was refreshing, dispersing the summer heat.


    Bet held Yvonne''s hand as they walked along the beach, eventually finding their way to the ind''s amusement park.


    The park wasn''trge, but it had all the popr rides. Since Yvonne was pregnant, she couldn''t go on any of the thrilling ones, so Bet apanied her on the carousel and the Ferris wheel.


    The Ferris wheel was several hundred feet high. At its peak, you could see the entire ind.


    The ind''s night view was quite beautiful.


    "If you like it here, we cane back for a vacation every year," Bet said, his gaze softening as he looked at Yvonne''s belly. "We can bring the baby with us."


    "Okay," Yvonne replied with a warm smile.


    The Thompson family had only bought this ind in recent years. Back when Yvonne and Bet were together, the ind was still under development. Even then, Bet had said the same thing.


    But before the ind was even finished, Yvonne had died.


    The Ferris wheel slowly descended from its highest point and came to a stop at the bottom.


    Just as Bet helped Yvonne off the ride, they saw Noah approaching with Nic.


    Because of her fall, Noah had


    cleaned Nic''s wounds and


    changed her out of her little dress


    into a casual T-shirt and


    Children forget pain quickly; once the sting was gone, all she could think about was ying.


    Noah had just taken her on a spinning airne ride and was now heading for the Ferris wheel.


    "Noah." Bet and Yvonne greeted him and his daughter politely.


    "You''re here too," Noah said, surprised for a moment, before immediately asking about Cynthia. "How is she?"


    "She went back to her room and hasn''te out. She''s probably resting," Bet replied casually.


    Before Noah could ask anything else, Nic was already tugging on his arm. "Daddy, I want to ride the Ferris wheel."


    "Okay," Noah nodded, forced to attend to his daughter first.


    "Aunt Yvonne, will you ride with me?" Nic, who seemed to like Yvonne, ran over and hugged her arm.


    "Aunt Yvonne just went for a ride. You should go with your daddy," Yvonne replied with a gentle smile.


    "Can''t you ride it again just because


    you already did?" Nicole asked,


    blinking as her lips turning


    downward into a clear pout.


    >


    "Nic!" Noah chided his daughter quietly, then pulled her onto the Ferris wheel.


    Bet put his arm around Yvonne and they walked out of the


    help but look back toward the Ferris wheel.


    amusement park. Yo


    Because it was so tall, she could faintly see the silhouettes of Noah and Nic


    against the night sky.
