Chapter 103 Take Three Children to Disneyland
Chapter 103 Take Three Children to Disneyland
Isabella hesitated. Going to Disneyland with Glenn and two kids together. No matter how she thought about it, the picture seemed a bit strange.
"But Vincent's health..."
"I already asked Dr. Lopez. He said with Oliver's current condition, going out to play for half a day is completely fine, just need to make sure he doesn't get too tired." Glenn directly blocked her way out. "I'll have someone arrange the car and tickets. If we leave now, we can catch the afternoon parade."
With things put this way, refusing again would make Isabella seem unreasonable.
What's more, both Oliver and Vincent were looking at her with bright, sparkling eyes, full of longing.
"Well... okay then." Isabella finally nodded. "Oliver, go get Amelia."
Amelia had been keeping Oliver company this whole time. Because of Oliver's illness, there hadn't been much of a smile on her little face.
Isabella had been staying with Oliver all this time, and the guilt she felt toward Amelia kept growing.
Half an hour later, the group appeared at the entrance of Disneyland.
The sun was nice today. The park was filled with laughter and upbeat music, and the colorful castle sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
Many kids were holding Disney-themed ice cream cones. As they passed Isabella, a sweet, sugary scent drifted into her nose.
Oliver, who had been suppressed for so long, was like a little bird freed from its cage, instantly infected by the joyful atmosphere.
He held Vincent and Amelia's hands, his little face flushed with excitement.
The three kids ran to the ice cream stand and bought carousel-shaped popsicles.
After buying them, Glenn lifted one child in each arm, easily hoisting them onto his shoulders so they could see over the crowd to the view ahead.
His assistant then lifted Vincent, letting all three kids sit on their high thrones, waving their hands excitedly.
Isabella followed beside them, watching this scene, feeling a bit dazed.
This picture looked too much like a real family.
A tall, reliable father with three adorable children.
This thought grew deeper and deeper. She snapped back to reality and shook her head hard, pushing away this unrealistic idea.
Next, they rode Dumbo and the carousel.
When getting on the carousel, Glenn naturally reached out his hand to help Isabella climb on.
The broad, warm sensation from her palm made her heart tremble uncontrollably.
She didn't even know how long it had been since she'd felt this way.
Music started playing, the horses slowly rotated up and down, and Oliver, Amelia, and Vincent's laughter rang out clear and sweet.
Isabella smiled and turned her head to the side, seeing Glenn beside her quietly watching her, his deep eyes filled with a tenderness she couldn't understand.
That gaze was too affectionate, as if it had passed through the noisy crowd and landed straight in her heart.
Isabella's heartbeat skipped a beat, and she nervously looked away.
What she didn't know was that in the crowd not far away, a telephoto lens had already perfectly captured this moment.
The kids got tired of playing. Glenn went to buy popcorn and drinks while Isabella took the children to rest on a bench by the roadside.
Amelia leaned in her arms, taking small bites of cotton candy. Vincent sat quietly beside her, but his little hand tightly gripped the corner of Isabella's clothes, like a small animal lacking security.
Isabella looked at Vincent, showing this pitiful expression, and her heart tightened.
"Vincent, you can come play with Oliver often from now on," Isabella said to him gently.
Vincent looked up, and in those eyes so similar to Glenn's, a trace of dependence and joy showed. He nodded heavily.
Then he leaned even closer to Isabella.
When Glenn came back with the items, this was the scene he saw.
Isabella's eyes were lowered, the lines of her profile soft and beautiful, the sunlight coating her with a golden glow.
Three children nestled beside her, peaceful and warm like a painting.
He stared, somewhat lost in thought.
If this scene could belong to him forever, how wonderful that would be.
Night fell, and spectacular fireworks burst brilliantly above the castle.
Drawing many people's gazes.
Isabella and Glenn stood side by side, both their eyes drawn to the gorgeous fireworks.
After watching for a while, Amelia fell asleep in Isabella's arms.
When the fireworks show ended, the kids had played so happily that they were all tired and asleep, two leaning in Isabella's arms, one lying on Glenn's shoulder.
Isabella looked at the sky full of fireworks, but her heart couldn't feel the pure joy of the surrounding crowd.
Today, more than once, she had seen that expression in Glenn's eyes that made her heart panic.
Just then, several camera flashes in a corner of the crowd lit up imperceptibly, then quickly went out.
That same evening, a news story quietly climbed to the headlines of major entertainment websites and began spreading at an alarming rate.
[Shocking! Glenn takes Isabella and three children to Disneyland, doting throughout. Is good news coming soon?]
The news was accompanied by two photos. One was the picture on the carousel of Glenn gazing affectionately at Isabella.
The other showed the two sitting together with three children nestled close.
The photos in the news were extremely well-taken, with tricky angles that perfectly captured the infinite affection in Glenn's eyes, and you could vaguely see Isabella's shy, downcast eyes.
The three children beside them smiled innocently, forming an impeccable, warm picture of a family of five.
The comment section exploded instantly.
[Holy shit! Is this real or fake? Is that eternal iceberg Glenn who never appears in the same frame as women?]
[That look is way too affectionate! The doting is practically overflowing from the screen. If this is acting, I'll eat my keyboard on the spot.]
[Who is this woman? She's so beautiful. Amazing presence! Standing next to Mr. Woods, they're absolutely a perfect match made in heaven!]
[Did you guys look at the photos? The key point is that they have three kids. These kids look about the same age. Could they be triplets? My god, Mr. Woods really went from zero to a hundred!]
[Please, just get married already!]
[Isabella's looks are so good, she's more than a match for Glenn.]
The online frenzy, the people involved still knew nothing about it.
On the way back from Disneyland, the black Rolls-Royce drove smoothly through the night.
The two children slept soundly in the child safety seats in the back, and the car was so quiet that only faint breathing could be heard.
This silence instantly made the atmosphere somewhat delicate.
Isabella looked at the neon lights rapidly retreating outside the window, Glenn's daytime gazes flashing through her mind, making her feel restless.
"Isabella."
Glenn's steady voice suddenly rang out in the quiet car.
