Venus saw Simon the moment she stepped into Fairytale Land's playground.
The boy was sitting alone in a corner and appeared to be in a daze. The usual spark in his eyes and his air of arrogance were nowhere to be seen. He even seemed a little depressed.
Venus hesitated for a while before walking over with her ice cream and said, "Simon, here's an ice cream for you!"
Simon looked up, and his eyes lit up when he saw Venus. "Venus!"
"Quick, take it! The ice cream is melting."
When Venus was passing the ice cream to Simon, she accidentally touched Simon's nose with it, smearing it on the tip of his nose.
After Simon took over the ice cream, he could feel something cold on the tip of his nose and looked down.
Venus was tickled by the boy's actions and started giggling.
"Hehe!" Simon let out an embarrassed smile before started laughing uncontrollably too.
When the other kids saw them laughing, all of them started laughing as well, as if laughter was contagious.
Instantly, the laughter of children could be heard from the playground. The innocence and wonders of childhood perfectly encapsulated the essence of Fairytale Land.
When Jombo walked in with Randy, he couldn't help but start laughing as well when he heard the joyful laughter of those kids.
"Mr. Jombo, that's Simon, " Randy pointed to Simon and looked up at Jombo while saying in a serious tone, "Can we let him stay here? Even though his mommy and grandmas are very fierce and disrespectful, Simon is not a bad child."
"Sure." Jombo was very glad to hear that. "Good boy, Randy. You're so kind-hearted!"
The reason Jombo had so much affection towards the three children was not only because they were adorable, sensible, and polite but also because of their pure and kind hearts.
"Thank you, Mr. Jombo." Randy heaved a sigh of relief after getting Jombo's permission.
"Go ahead and play with the other kids!" Jombo stroked the boy's head lovingly and said, "Mr. Jombo really enjoys watching you kids have fun!"
"Okay, I'll go join them then." Randy joined the other kids at once and started playing with Josh.
"As you wish, I've already instructed them to provide free admission to polite and well-behaved children, " Thompson walked over and reported to Jombo.
"Well done." While watching the kids, Jombo couldn't help but sigh. "It's so good to be in the presence of children. It's as if the world was no longer complicated and filled with innocence once again!"
"Indeed. It's so contagious even I can feel the joy with the kids around, " Thompson smiled and agreed. "Those three little ones are growing on me too."
"Of course! They are my grandchildren." Jombo rolled his eyes at his butler.
"Haha…" Thompson let out a laugh and hesitated to speak further.
"What is it that you want to say? Tell me." Jombo shot him a glance.
"Well, I feel that the kids' mom has been avoiding you deliberately, " Thompson lowered his voice and said. "They didn't even invite you inside the house when we were already outside just now. And when I wanted to bring the gifts in, Randy stopped me immediately… It just seems… a little too intentional."
"Randy had already said that his mom wasn't feeling well." Jombo was very understanding. "After interacting with them for the past few days, I am pretty sure that they only have their mommy and housekeeper. They don't have a dad. Think about it – it's just been those two women with the three kids all this while. Thus, it's normal that they are not used to men entering the house."
"True." Thompson nodded.
"I don't think those kids will play any tricks." Jombo looked at Randy lovingly and said, "My grandson is just too sensible, so much that my heart aches for him."
"Mr. Zayn was like that when he was at that age too, " Thompson said as he recalled how Zayn was like when he was young. "By the looks of it, Randy and Josh do resemble Mr. Zayn, especially Randy. Even his personality is very similar to that of Mr. Zayn's."
"If that brat has three kids like them, I'll be laughing even in my dreams." Jombo could feel anger rising in him at the mention of Zayn. "He only knows how to make me angry. I've waited so long for him to start dating, but he ended up falling for such a dubious woman. He must be blind!"
