"... benefits?" Wendy frowned.
"Yeah." Charlie's lips twitched.
For some reason, she could smell the odors of tricks
Wendy pursed her lips and asked hesitatingly, "What do you want..."
"Just say yes or no." Charlie didn't answer.
"..." Wendy hesitated and didn't say anything right away.
Charlie didn't mean to force her and said casually, "It's fine if you say no!"
Immediately, he pulled out his cigarette case from his pants pocket and headed to the smoking area to smoke.
Wendy looked at Larry, who was still sitting on the wooden chair, with his head hanging low and his little face looking gray with depression, which made her heart sour.
She gritted her teeth and shouted at the tall back, saying,"... Fine!"
Upon hearing this, Charlie stopped and turned around, not saying anything, but putting his cigarette case and lighter back in his pants pocket.
Wendy secretly let out a sigh of relief, she walked back to Larry and reached out to stroke his slightly curly mushroom bob. When she felt the softness of his hair, she suddenly felt that whatever she could do for her son would be worth it.
She smiled and comforted Larry in a soft voice, "Sweety, don't be upset. You want to ride Daddy like that kid, don't you? I just talked to Dad for you, and he's already agreed!"
"Really?" Larry raised his head suddenly.
His big black grape- like eyes were full of expectation. He looked at her, then looked at Daddy, who was walking over, and still couldn't believe it.
Charlie silently stepped forward and took off his suit jacket. Then he bent down, reached through Larry's underarm, and easily put Larry on his neck, just like that father and son.
When he stood up, he whispered in her ear, "Remember what you said."
Wendy nodded awkwardly.
"Wow, it's so high!"
After sitting on his daddy's neck, Larry exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.
Charlie grabbed his son's hands and tried to control the balance to prevent his son from falling down.
Larry was not afraid at all. His eyes sparkled. As he watched the father and son in front of him picking up the pace, he anxiously shifted his two short legs, commanding, "Daddy, run!"
"Don't push it too far!" Charlie said in a deep voice.
Behind him, a female voice called out to Charlie softly, "Charlie..." Charlie's face darkened and he had no choice but to grab his son's hand, then started running forward with his long legs like a fool.
Wendy was holding a water bottle, following behind in small steps, watching the father and son from afar, and the sound of Larry's laughter was transmitted from time to time, and under the sunlight, the picture was like framed in gold, and she couldn't even move her eyes.
When Charlie turned back inadvertently, he met her gaze that was as soft as water. The unhappiness in his heart that he felt when he was being ridden by his son disappeared in an instant.
The family of three stayed in the amusement park until it was very late. The sun went down the mountain, and then they left with the crowd.
When it was brought up, Larry's eyes were glued to it. Wendy looked at the pink carved little face, happy but also frustrated with the moments she missed. She vowed in her heart that she would participate in her son's birthday every year and that she would celebrate his birthday so that he would grow up happy, healthy and strong.
She looked up just in time to meet the deep, restrained eyes of the man across the table.
She didn't know whether the light was too strong, the gaze was so hot that it seemed to make her whole heart hot, and under the table, his big hand actually reached over and gently covered her hand on her knee, as if he could read her mind and comforted her in silent.
No one would notice such a petty gesture.
Wendy was stiff and her calves went weak. It's a good thing he just put his hand over hers and didn't hold it very hard. She pulled out in a panic, tucked her hair behind her ear uncomfortably down, picked up the candle and inserted it in the cake, "Sweety, let's make a wish."
"Yeah!" Larry nodded his head like a puppy.
His big eyes watched her inserting the red number "4" on the cake, and then imitated what she had taught him to put his palms together in a decent manner.
He glanced at her shyly, and his face showed a sweet smile. His soft child voice began to make a wish. "I hope that I will be with Wendy forever! And Daddy!"
The last sentence was added because Charlie was staring at him. Hearing Larry's wish, Wendy suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes were filled with dense fog.
Children were not as sophisticated as adults and would say whatever was in their heart.
Charlie heard his son's words, and his indifferent face was touched! His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but he didn't forget to pour cold water on his son. "Idiot, wishes don't work when spoken!"
When Larry heard this, he immediately panicked and said, "Then I'll make it again!"
"Okay!" Wendy's voice was soft.
