Chapter 824 Dad's Childhood Was Miserable
"Luna, why are you here?" Blake was a little surprised.
Seeing Ivy and Alexander with red eyes, he became very worried. "Did something happen at home?"
"No, we just missed our kids." Ivy forced a smile.
The bodyguards immediately dispersed, making way for them.
When Ivy and Alexander saw the children, they were playing games.
The 18 children from the third pregnancy were playing a game of "drop the handkerchief" under the guidance of their older siblings.
All the children formed a circle, with Amelia holding the handkerchief, walking and singing outside the circle.
While singing, Amelia quietly dropped the handkerchief behind Mimi and continued walking.
Mimi, who had lost the handkerchief, quickly noticed it behind her, picked it up, and immediately chased after Amelia.
If Amelia was caught, she had to perform a program. If she wasn't caught, it would be Mimi's turn to drop the handkerchief.
Mimi was just about to catch Amelia when she suddenly saw her mom and dad coming to the kindergarten. Excitedly, she pounced on them.
"Daddy, mommy!"
Alexander smiled and picked up Mimi.
"Daddy, mommy, why are you here?" Amelia also ran happily to Ivy's side.
Ivy crouched down, tightly embracing Amelia, almost crying. She forced back the tears that were about to overflow and smiled, saying, "Daddy and mommy missed you, they want to play games with you."
"My goodness... but this game we're playing is so childish!" Amelia looked at her parents in disbelief.
Would her parents really be willing to join in a game that is usually played by kindergarten kids?
"It's no problem; we went through this stage too," Alexander said with a sad expression. "My childhood... was rather unpleasant, and I want to make up for it."
His voice quivered as he spoke.
Fate had been so unfair to him! From a young age, he had lost many loved ones, and his entire childhood was spent in misery. Now that he had finally grown up, married, and had children, how long had it been? And yet, he was about to leave this world.
Satan once said that the breath God exhaled granted him 30 years of life, but if God was displeased, he could make it vanish at any moment. Though he still had two years left on the surface, in reality, every day could be his last.
Just the thought of it filled him with despair.
However, in Amelia's eyes, this feeling of despair was simply her father being sad about his unhappy childhood. She quickly said, "Daddy, don't be sad. We'll play with you!"
With that, she took the handkerchief from Mimi's hand and handed it to Alexander. Then, she pulled Ivy and herself to sit in a circle.
Mimi worried that her father wouldn't know how to play and asked, "Daddy, do you know how to play this game? Do you want me to teach you?"
Suddenly, Alexander burst into laughter and playfully kissed Mimi.
"Silly girl, Daddy went through the same childhood as all of you. Daddy knows how to play the games you play. Hurry, sit in the circle. Daddy is going to play the handkerchief game."
"Daddy, you're amazing. You can do everything," Mimi said, admiration evident on her face as she returned to her original seat.
Just as Alexander started singing the second verse, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer and began to cry uncontrollably.
