A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1489 Happy Time

Amy's big, bright eyes were alight, but she slowly turned her gaze down. She smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

Louis did not know how to respond to her mischievousness. He did not ask her any more questions. Instead, he kindly asked her where she wanted to go next. Upon hearing this, Amy's big blue eyes lit up even brighter, like sunshine over a calm sea.

"Can we go to the amusement park?" Amy looked up at Louis expectantly. Although she was asking politely, her big eyes madly expressed that she really wanted to go.

Louis fondly replied, "Of course. Your wish is my command."

Now that Amy had chosen a place to go, Louis felt much more relieved.

Fortunately, Taylor had not forced Amy to keep quiet and be obedient all the time.

As soon as they arrived at the amusement park, Amy exclaimed happily and behaved like a tiny bird that had just escaped from its cage.

She dragged Louis around, shouting and laughing. She was wearing a cartoon hat, which Louis had bought for her from the gift shop near the entrance. In her fluffy blue bubble skirt bathed in sunlight, Amy looked like a little princess on holiday.

Even the staff in the amusement park who wore costumes stopped and expressed their wish of taking a group photo with her. Cute and adorable as she was, Amy literally won everyone's hearts.

Amy loudly called to Louis, who was standing not far away. "Uncle Louis, would you join us for a group photo?"

She was fond of Louis, so naturally, she relied on him and loved to take photos with him.

Louis had no objection. He quickly walked up to Amy and lovingly held her in his arms. With a big grin on his face, he stood among them and happily took a group photo with the staff in puppet clothes.

After a few snaps of the camera, the staff came over with a printed Polaroid and handed it over to them. The staff smiled and said, "You and your daughter are so beautiful. I've taken so many photos here, and the most amazing one belongs to you two."

"Maybe it's because she has mixed blood. The little girl is truly beautiful, just like a little princess," the man who took the photo said. He squatted down, gently took out a piece of candy from his pocket, and gave it to Amy. "A small reward for the good girl," he said with a smile.

Louis thought that maybe they had not heard Amy call him 'uncle, ' but he did not intend to explain. He thought to himself that as long as people mistook them as father and daughter, he would somewhat have a close connection with Taylor.

Fortunately, Amy did not get upset. She took the candy and thanked the man with a sweet smile. Then, she dragged Louis to their next destination as if nothing had happened.

The two of them spent half a day in the amusement park.

Louis even waited in line to buy ice cream for Amy. Then, the two of them sat down on an empty bench. Thinking of what had happened just now, Louis asked casually, "Have you ever met your father?"

Deep down, he felt that Amy looked very similar to him, not only because they both had the same blue eyes but also because of other similarities in their facial features.

This was not the first time that they had gone out together and had been mistaken for father and daughter.

Before today, he had already had some unrealistic guesses as to the identity of Amy's father, but there was indeed no evidence to prove it. Also, Amy was now five or six years old.

Five to six years ago, he had not even known Taylor, or even seen her, for that matter.

Amy reached for the ice cream. As soon as she heard Louis' question, the light in her eyes seemed to dim. She leaned back on the bench and looked up. Her blue eyes were so clear, as if the entire sky was reflected in them.

She grabbed her skirt uneasily, turned aside subconsciously, and stuck out her tongue. As she carefully licked her ice cream, she softly murmured, "No."

Her unusual indifference made Louis realize that his question had been a little abrupt.

"I'm sorry if I offended you. I just haven't seen him with you before, so I'm just curious. I won't mention him again. I'm sorry," Louis quickly apologized.

Watching Amy's smile turn upside down because of his carelessness, Louis grew unhappy himself. All he wanted to do now was to quickly make up for his tactless mistake as soon as possible.

Louis stretched out three fingers to the sky, his face turning absolutely serious. He looked at Amy and sincerely said, "I promise not to bring him up again. Will you forgive me?"

Amy did not reply, so Louis continued begging for forgiveness. It was not until Amy suddenly burst into laughter that Louis realized she had been teasing him.

But strangely, he was not displeased by her teasing. Instead, he felt relieved because of her splendid smile. But he still pretended to be serious and asked her with a straight face, "What are you laughing at?"

Sitting comfortably on the bench, Amy shook her two legs swiftly and took another bite of the ice cream. Her big eyes were full of joy. "Why are you so nervous, Uncle Louis?" she asked.

Louis felt horrible about suddenly asking Amy about her father. It was like recklessly uncovering an old scar on the little girl's heart. He was worried that she would be sad, so he nervously and repeatedly apologized.

Meeting Amy's gaze, Louis felt guilty, but he did not avoid her eyes. He replied helplessly, "I'm afraid that you'll be unhappy and ask your mother to come back soon. By then, your mother will definitely give me a hard time."

Amy pouted her lips and said, "Of course not. Mommy is the nicest and gentlest mommy in the world." After defending Taylor, Amy looked at Louis and whispered, "I wouldn't be sad because of someone who was never there for me. He never bothered to raise me, so why should he affect my mood? Don't you think so, Uncle Louis?"

Although she was still a child, she knew a lot and thought differently.

Louis was rendered speechless by what Amy said. After a while, he nodded in agreement. "I guess you're right." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He wanted to ask her if Taylor had mentioned her father in front of her before, but when he looked into Amy's pure, blue eyes, he swallowed his curiosity and kept his mouth shut.

Was it really because she did not care about her father that she could say something like that at such a tender age? Or was it because she knew it was useless to care about him anyway? Maybe she had been mocked by others for being fatherless for such a long time that she had formed a set of words that she used to comfort herself.

Taylor was usually so busy, so she must not be able to give Amy enough care and attention. Moreover, Amy knew that her mother was a single parent, so she was more obedient and sensible with Taylor.

Louis sighed silently and felt his heart sink a little. There was no need for him to talk about it anymore.

He gazed fondly at Amy's pretty little face, stroked her braided hair, and asked softly, "Is there anything else you want to do in this amusement park?"

Amy nodded happily. She looked around and suddenly pointed at the merry-go-round not far away. "That one!" she chirped with excitement.

After Amy finished eating her ice cream, Louis took her to the carousel and waited in line to buy the tickets. There, they chose two lovely horses right next to each other.

The lights in the amusement park were colorful and gorgeous, making everything look like a magnificent, glowing banquet.

Amy lifted her hands to her mouth and shouted at Louis. "I like Uncle Louis more than the man who never showed up!"

Although she did not have a clue what was going on between her mother and Louis, Amy believed that Louis would be better than anyone else at being her father.

After all, he was very gentle.

Louis was stunned by Amy's words. He moved his lips and was about to say something back to her, but Amy had already turned away. He could only see her back in a fluffy blue dress in the bright light. She looked like a sweet little angel, warming his heart.

After the merry-go-round ride, Louis and Amy did not talk anymore and headed to a restaurant for dinner.

After a nice meal, Amy felt sleepy. She was, after all, a small kid, and it was time for her to go to bed. As soon as she got into the car, her eyelids began to grow heavy and she soon fell asleep.

Louis covered her with a blanket.

As soon as they got home, Amy's eyelids flew open, as if she had not slept at all.
