Loretta took the initiative to grab a handful of her hair and placed it gently in Kevin’s hand. “You can watch!” she said happily. Although she didn’t appreciate the way some people locked at her, she felt a connection with Lillian and Kevin.
Surprised by the softness and uniqueness of Loretta’s hair, Kevin examined it closely, his eyes wide with curiosity.
“Shall we go play together? I’m familiar with this place. Let me take you there!” Loretta exclaimed enthusiastically, and before long, she led Lillian and Kevin deeper into the amusement park.
Gwen and Marie hurriedly followed behind. Having had previous experiences with lost children, the Carter family was vigilant, ensuring their kids were always within sight. Wherever the children went, there were adults close by, even maternity matrons. They needed to keep a close watch.

“Becky, Marissa, keep talking. I’ll take care of the baby,” Debra said to Stacey and Marissa.
Stacey felt a sense of relief. With Marissa around, she wouldn’t be left alone. But worry creased her brow as she watched the kids leave her sight.
It turned out that even in her own amusement park, Marissa felt the need to keep an eye on her children, leading her to quickly follow along.
“You were adorable when you were a child. Lillian is kind of like you,” Marissa said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia.
Stacey looked at Marissa and couldn’t help asking, “So, why did you decide to run an amusement park here?” Her curiosity piqued, she added, “Your husband–he’s from this side, right?
Marissa nodded. “Yeah, Joey and I met because of Hayden. He was so kind to me that I eventually married him.”
Stacey admired the light in Marissa’s eyes as she spoke. “You must be really happy in your marriage, right?”
Marissa chuckled, “How do you know?”
“Your eyes tell me everything,” Stacey replied, giving her an encouraging smile.
Marissa’s expression softened. “Well, yes, Joey and I have been married for many years, and our love has only grown stronger. He’s always been wonderful to me. She paused for a moment and continued, “You know, I think my greatest luck was meeting Joey. I found someone who truly loves me. So… even when I discovered he had albinism, I still married him without a second thought.”
Stacey looked at Marissa with new admiration.
Marissa smiled, her expression earnest. “Albinism isn’t an illness It’s just a lack of melanin. It’s frustrating to see them discriminated against simply because they look different from others. Honestly, those who label my husband and daughter as having a disease are the ones who truly have issues. Do they have any real shortcomings besides their beautiful white hair and fair skin?” Marissa asked confidently. “No!”
Marissa beamed with confidence, expressing her admiration for her family. “Becky, you know what? I just adore my and daughter! They have snow–white hair and fair skin like angels. What’s wrong with that?”
Stacey smiled, fully agreeing. “Yes, it’s really beautiful.”

Marissa paused, turning to Stacey with an amused glint in her eye. “Becky, I believe what you say is beautiful comes from your heart. You genuinely like it

Stacey felt a blush creeping to her cheeks. “Am I really that obvious?”
Marissa laughed. “Quite!” Stacey found herself quite helpless about it.

“Come on, let’s go play together! Amusement parks aren’t just for kids; we’re big kids too!” Marissa said with a bright smile.
Stacey was taken aback.
Marissa then took her hand and led her forward. As they approached, Marissa playfully shouted to her daughter, “Loretta! Becky and I are going to ride the merry–go–round!”
Loretta’s attention was immediately caught, and she rushed over alongside Kevin, eager to join her mother and her new
friend.
Kevin quickly followed his sister. Young and still very attached to the adults, he wanted to play alongside his mother as well.
Loretta found herself being dragged away by the little ones. While she was tired of the amusement park, she thought it would be more fun to play with them than alone. Ultimately, she conceded and let herself be led in front of the merry–go- round.
At the entrance, Marissa shot her daughter a playful, challenging look. Loretta’s expression shifted from annoyance to fury. “What’s wrong with wanting to play on the merry–go–round? I bet I’m better than you at this!” she retorted
Marissa laughed, “Of course not! I’m the most beautiful one here. You got your looks from me, Loretta! You inherited my genes!
Loretta could only huff, exasperated, I’m angry, but how do I even argue with you?”
Meanwhile, Lillian and Kevin, still too young to venture off alone, stuck close to the adults. Debra and Stacey both held at child in each arm, getting settled as everyone found their spots.
Marissa turned to Loretta with a grin. “Do you want me to go with you?”
“No way!” Loretta declared, anger still lingering in her voice, before hopping onto the merry–go– round.
Stacey watched, a bit concerned. “Will she fall playing by herself she wondered aloud.
Loretta reassured her with a smile. “It’s okay! I have a seat belt.”
After a moment’s reflection, Stacey chose to let it go. However, watching Loretta and Marissa bicker so playfully made Stacey ponder about her own children. ‘Will Lillian and Kevin grow up teasing and challenging me like that?‘ She pushed the thought away, reasoning that she had a different personality than Marissa. Even if Lillian had her moments of stubbornness, she wouldn’t purposely provoke her like that.
Meanwhile, Debra had arranged for a professional photographer to capture their memories.
With Stacey holding Kevin and Debra with Lillian, they posed happily for photos. The merry–go– round spun in the background as the photographer clicked away, freezing their joy in time.
After the merry–go–round, they explored many other attractions together.
Given Lillian and Kevin’s tender age, they were not suitable for some rides with too many participants. Marissa generously cleared the area for the kids, allowing them to have some solo playtime.
Later, they gathered for lunch at one of the park’s restaurants.

Loretta enthusiastically shared her knowledge of the delicacies available, eagerly introducing Lillian and Kevin to all the
treats.
Both children were undeniably food lovers. When they heard about the menu from Loretta, their eyes lit up with
excitement. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Stacey, keen to let them sample the delights, ordered a variety of dishes, careful to limit how much they ate at once. She was cautious about how their little sto
