"But I don't want to, Mommy," Larry insisted. "I really want to go there to play. I've never been on a cruise ship. Please say yes!"
It was rare for Larry to pester her, so for a brief moment, Vivian did not know how to reject him. After a long while of hesitation, Vivian finally relented.
"All right, but you have to promise me that you'll be a good boy. You can't run everywhere like you did last time." I'll show him what a cruise ship is, then.
"Yay! Thank you, Mommy!" With a cheer, Larry excitedly pressed a kiss on his mother's cheek.
When Hunter heard Vivian giving in, he smiled before looking at Larry through the rearview mirror.

"I'm sorry, Vivian. I have something vital to work on during this period, so I don't think I'll be able to join you. Can you go alone with Larry?"
The vital work he had was related to Morrison Group's future developments, so Benedict dared not be careless in it.
Before he could finish his words, Vivian interrupted him.
"Ben, let's not talk about it anymore. Go ahead with your work. I'll take a look at whether little pumpkin's asleep or not. Don't work too late into the night. Good night."
Once she said those words, she quietly walked out and closed the door behind her.
At that, Benedict could only sigh. She responded the same way every time he raised his topic. Does she really plan to never marry again?
On the day of the trip, Hunter arrived early to pick Vivian and Larry up. It took them nearly two hours before they arrived at their destination.
