Chapter 315

As they talk, Shelia coincidentally walks past them after the ribbon-cutting.

Upon catching Elaine’s words, she paused and scoffed, “Children should be in bed at this hour.

Stop daydreaming all the time! God doesn’t favor naughty children.

Tonight, you won’t see any fireworks or a single star in the sky.

”

After her remark, Shelia cast a disdainful glance at Lindsey.

Seeing Elaine’s eyes welling up with tears, Lindsey gently stroked her hair and reassured her, “Don’t listen to her nonsense.

You are a good girl.

”

“Aunt Lindsey, are there no stars tonight? Have the stars hidden from me because I did something wrong?” A tear rolled down Elaine’s cheek.

“Nah.

” Lindsey wiped away the tears and comforted her, “It’s just cloudy today, so the stars are hidden.

Fireworks are usually reserved for special occasions, and there are no festivals right now…”

Domenic looked at Lindsey and Elaine and added, “I’ve heard that Dream Amusement Park sometimes has nighttime fireworks.

Maybe tonight is one of those nights.

Lindsey’s eyes sparkled.

“Really? Let’s give it a shot!”

Shelia laughed as though she had heard a humorous jest and sarcastically remarked, “That’s amusing.

Dream Amusement Park hasn’t had fireworks in ages.

Do you have some illusion that you own the park and can get whatever you desire? I suggest you stop daydreaming!”

Lindsey gazed at her and retorted, “Shelia, if you can’t say anything nice, it’s best to say nothing.

No one is talking to you.

”

“Humph! I wouldn’t want to talk to you anyway!” Shelia huffed and walked away.

Since Dream Amusement Park hadn’t showcased fireworks in a while, chances were slim that they’d see any tonight!

Upon hearing the possibility of fireworks, Elaine jumped up excitedly, tugging Lindsey toward the amusement park.

In truth, Lindsey didn’t hold much hope in her heart.

From what she knew, these big amusement parks only set off fireworks during significant celebrations.

On a regular day like today, it was almost impossible.

Nevertheless, Lindsey brought Elaine back to the park.

They settled on the bench and patiently waited.

An hour passed, and it was already nine o’clock in the evening.

No fireworks graced the sky, and darkness prevailed.

Lindsey approached the park staff, who confirmed that fireworks weren’t on the agenda for the night.

“I’m sorry, Elaine.

It looks like we won’t see fireworks today…”

Lindsey observed Elaine’s hopeful expression gradually fading into disappointment.

She glanced at the nearby carousel and proposed, “How about we go ride on the carousel?”

Elaine lowered her head without saying a word.

Lindsey held her hand and guided her toward the carousel.

“Look, isn’t it lovely? It’s just like entering a fairyland, right?

Elaine sat on it, resembling a princess from a fairy tale perched on a prince’s white horse.

”

Elaine gazed up briefly.

Still, she drooped her head with a lack of enthusiasm.

Amidst the brilliant illumination before her, Lindsey could discern glistening tears in Elaine’s eyes.

Perhaps she shouldn’t have brought her here.

Disappointment wouldn’t have found Elaine if hope hadn’t been kindled.

She knew this well, so why didn’t she firmly extinguish that hope…

Just then, Domenic’s phone chimed with a text message.

“Everything is ready.
