Jacob was quietly shaking his head as Moira brought the two girls into the car. Then, he walked over to
the driver’s seat and opened the door.
After traversing through various streets, he finally arrived at one of the finance buildings in the west of
the city. Under Heidi’s cheers, he drove to the south of the city.
Time slowly slid by as the wheels of the car rotated non-stop. During the drive, Jacob stole glances at
his daughter in the child’s seat through the rear-view mirror.
On the other side of the backseat, Dana was leaning on her side. Ever since Moira left, her eyes had
been glued to her phone.
Heidi could not resist looking at her occasionally.
Finally, she could not help herself anymore after a while, and asked, “What are you playing, Dana? Can
I have a look?”
Dana merely shot her a sideways glance and pouted. She changed her seating posture before getting

Since there was no reply from her, Heidi merely pouted and played with her fingers.
Meanwhile, Jacob felt that his heart was melting after seeing that Heidi did not even throw a tantrum
about that.
In the next junction, he stopped and took out his phone. After unlocking it, he passed it to her. “You can
play with my phone for a bit. We are going to arrive soon.”
Heidi took the phone using both her hands with her eyes gleaming, making her look adorable.
Dana glanced at the phone before she pouted and said disdainfully, “Hmph! It’s just a kaleidoscope.
Even three-year-olds are unwilling to play this game.”
Nevertheless, Heidi did not complain and tapped on the phone with her tiny fingers as she let out peals
of laughter occasionally.
Jacob looked at Dana, who had a completely different behavior when they first met, before he
continued the drive with an impassive expression on his face.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Dixy Land that was more than two thousand acres large in the
suburbs to the south of the city. It was an adventure park for children ages five to twelve.
As soon as they stepped into the entrance, they first saw a huge plastic figure of a dalmatian dog. Even
an adult was no taller than its legs.
This was Dixy, the “elderly” mascot of Dixy Land as it had been around for six decades.
Many children were posing for pictures under its huge statue, with their parents as their cameramen.
After they parked the car and bought tickets, Heidi pointed at the statue as soon as they entered the
park and exclaimed, “Dixy! Dixy!”
Holding his daughter’s hand, Jacob said tenderly, “Be patient. We have all the time in the world today.”
Not far behind them, Dana, who was holding her phone with both her hands, looked around the
surroundings.
She retracted her gaze as she pouted condescendingly. If Moira didn’t agree to buy me the latest
mobile game, I would not have to come to this childish park!

After taking a dozen cute pictures with the huge Dixy statue for Heidi, Jacob brought her further into the
park with satisfaction.
They had only walked ten meters before Jerry smiled at them from the crowd, dressed in a white coat.
“How are you everywhere?” Jacob frowned when he saw Jerry.
“Hey, Boss. I’m here to report to you.”
Jerry shrugged. When he lowered his head and saw Heidi, his eyes lit up. “What a pretty little girl! What
is your name?”
While speaking he crouched and gave a twist of his wrist. Then, a red flower suddenly materialized in
his hand.
“Wow!” Heidi’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw the beautiful flower. “You’re amazing, mister!
My name is Heidi, and I’m five years old now!”
Strangely enough, Jacob felt a pang of jealousy when he saw his daughter introduce herself
enthusiastically.
