Chapter 349 Too Tired to Pretend

Since Melanie put it that way, the two boys nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Even so, a ride on the merry-go-round only lasted three minutes, and these three minutes felt like a blink of an eye to Melanie.

She remained seated and wanted to ask the children to go for yet another round. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

However, Morales and Morgan had already climbed off and were pointing in another direction. “Mommy, let’s go play that next.”

Melanie had no choice but to follow them to the next activity.

The children had boundless energy. They giggled and chattered all the way while running all over the park without getting tired at all.

The same could not be said for Melanie.

She had dressed exquisitely for the day and even wore a set of towering high heels so that when she dropped the kids off later, she would be able to maintain her beautiful image in front of Hanson.

Who would have thought that bringing children to an amusement park was equivalent to running a marathon?

After a few more rides and games, she could barely stand on her feet anymore.

At long last, the kids had grown thirsty, and she snatched the opportunity to take a seat somewhere.

Melanie suggested at once, “It’s already past noon. Let’s go find some food to eat before we continue playing, okay? You’ll be hungry otherwise.”

The boys were not hungry at all and still in the mood to play, but when they saw the displeasure on Melanie’s face, they nodded in agreement. “Mommy, can we get hamburgers?”

Hanson did not allow them to eat fast food, so they had a strong hankering for so-called junk food.

On the contrary, Melanie did not care about ensuring that they kept to a healthy diet. All she wanted to do was keep them happy, so she agreed at once. “Sure. Let’s go get some hamburgers now.”

She was impatient to find a place to sit down. If she had her way, they would spend the entire afternoon sitting in the restaurant.

As Melanie winced in pain with every step she took, she began to regret choosing to come to an amusement park today. She grumbled to herself, We could’ve just gone to a restaurant instead. Why did I choose to come to an amusement park?

Along the way to the restaurant, the two boys kept looking at the sights around them. A journey that was supposed to take less than ten minutes ended up taking more than half an hour.

Melanie’s face had darkened entirely.

She snapped, “Hurry up.”

When Morales and Morgan heard the tone of her voice, their smiles dropped and they quickly followed after her.

Once they reached the restaurant, Melanie sat down at the nearest seat and told the children, “Choose what you want to eat.”

The boys quietly studied the menu before saying, “Mommy, we want this meal set.”

Melanie did not even glance at their choice. “Sure, get whatever you want.”

“What do you want, Mommy?” Morales passed the menu to her.

Melanie did not take it. “I’m not hungry. You guys go ahead and eat.” She was irritated and exhausted, so she had no appetite at all.

Morales quietly withdrew the menu.

Morgan asked in concern, “Mommy, are you not feeling well?”

Melanie frowned. She did not even want to speak to them right now. “No. Just sit and wait for your hamburgers,” she said before occupying herself with her cell phone.

The two boys’ moods dipped a little as they sat there in silence.

Miss Vania would not treat us this way, they thought to themselves.

Soon, the hamburgers were ready and the boys got up to collect the food.

Once again, they said cautiously to Melanie, “Mommy, let’s eat together.”

Melanie did not even bother to plaster a fake smile on her face any longer and said in an annoyed tone, “You guys go ahead and eat it yourselves.”
