Chapter 294

For the first time in Dominic's career, he skipped work after the emergency shareholder's meeting.

He went to the kindergarten and picked up Alexander and Isabella, fulfilling the responsibilities of a father.

Sitting in the car, Alexander asked him curiously, "It's not the weekend today, Daddy. Why do you have time to rest?"

As far as the boy knew, his father was a workaholic who even worked on weekends sometimes.

Alexander thought it was unusual for his father to be out of his office during work hours.

"No more classes for the day, Big Bro! I'm so happy..." Isabella rested her cheeks on her hands and said excitedly.

She was at the age where she'd rather play outdoors than sit in a classroom.

Through the rearview mirror, Dominic looked at the two children sitting properly in the back seat and said, "I'll bring you two and Mommy to the theme park today. We'll go home and pick Mommy up."

The two children gasped in shock, as though they had heard something unbelievable.

Daddy is taking us to the theme park? Is the world ending? Daddy usually hates crowded places. Normally, Uncle Sebastian would be the one who takes us there.

Still, they were thrilled by Dominic's decision. They had seen other children at the theme park with both parents and had always felt a pang of sadness. Now, they would finally get to experience that too.

Is he out of his mind? That was Evelyn's first thought when she heard Dominic wanted to take them to the theme park.

But the hopeful looks in the children's eyes left her no choice but to agree.

Instead of his usual tailored suits and polished shoes, Dominic wore a white down jacket, dark jeans, and white sneakers. The casual outfit made him look years younger—like a recent college graduate.

Evelyn was reminded of the Dominic she had known in university—energetic, charming, and full of life. She remembered watching him play basketball, her heart fluttering like any girl with a crush.

Now, years later, they were together again, with two beautiful children. It felt surreal.

The theme park was less crowded on a weekday, but the lively atmosphere remained.

Though the children had been there before, today was different—their parents were with them.

Dominic bought the tickets. They passed through security and stepped inside.

The striking father held the elegant mother’s hand, their two adorable children by their sides. The perfect family of four drew admiring glances from other visitors.

They explored the attractions, and whenever they passed a food stall, the usually strict father indulged them with treats.

It was a day filled with laughter.

Hidden in the crowd, two men in baseball caps held high-definition cameras, capturing every intimate moment of the family.

Dominic was accustomed to boardrooms and high-end venues. Theme parks had never interested him—until now.

He was here for Evelyn and the children.

When they beckoned him to join their games, he hesitated. But under their expectant gazes, he reluctantly gave in.

The theme park’s indoor beach was a tropical paradise—colorful shells scattered across golden sand, artificial waves lapping at the shore under a glass dome.

Families lounged under palm trees while children splashed in the shallow water, collecting shells in little buckets.

Evelyn helped Alexander and Isabella remove their jackets and roll up their pants. She handed their things to Dominic, then led them barefoot toward the beach.

The twins instantly became the center of attention, making fast friends with other kids.

Evelyn crouched in the sand, watching them play with a soft smile. She kissed their cheeks occasionally, making them giggle. The tender scene warmed Dominic’s heart.

He pulled out his phone and discreetly recorded the moment.

Then—chaos.

A motorboat spun out of control, speeding straight toward the shore.

The young mother at the wheel screamed, "Move! I can't stop it!"

Panic erupted as people scrambled to safety.

A little boy, no older than three, stood frozen in the water, oblivious to the danger.

Evelyn didn’t hesitate.

She sprinted forward and shielded the child with her body, bracing for impact.
