She bent down and spoke gently to the confused little girl, “Nina, the place we’re going to play is very, very far away, so we have to take a plane.
“You want to go play, right? We’ll only sit on the plane for a little while, and then we’ll be there.”
Amelia’s voice was soft and soothing, but Nina immediately clapped her chubby hands over her ears. “Mommy, no plane.”
She tilted her round face up, voice trembling with fear. Hurt ear. So hurt.”
Nina still remembered how much her ears had hurt the last time she flew. It had taken forever to feel better.
“Mommy, ride car,” she said.
“The car is too slow. We can’t take that.” Amelia simply scooped Nina up into her arms.
She held her close, kissed her cheek, and coaxed even more patiently, “Nina is so brave. Not afraid of planes, right?
“Mommy won’t let your ears hurt this time.
“We’ll take the plane one more time, okay?”
Amelia tried for a long time, promising Nina could watch TV once they were on board.
Nina still felt reluctant deep down, but she finally gave a small nod.
She agreed to fly one more time.
The airport was huge. Benjamin had booked first class, so they could head straight to the lounge after arriving.
But with Nina around, neither of them got a single second of rest.
Nina was bursting with energy. She wanted to look here, peek there.
There were other kids at the airport, and Nina boldly went over to play with them.
Maybe because she was so cute, most children didn’t turn her away when she approached.
This time was no different.
Amelia watched as Nina quickly made friends with a little girl she’d just met and could only shake her head.
Amelia kept asking, “Benjamin, how is she so outgoing?
“Was I like that when I was little?”
Benjamin shook his head. “You were very well-behaved.
Benjamin’s memories went back early. He remembered things from when he was three or four.

That little girl had been adorable. He loved holding her He’d even asked his father for a little sister, and his father said he already had one.
But young Benjamin had stubbornly insisted on the Wilson family’s baby girl.
The Wilsons treasured their youngest daughter beyond anything-they would never give her to the Graham family.
Because his father refused, Benjamin didn’t speak to him for half a month.
Back then, William could only sigh helplessly.
Thinking of old times, Benjamin left some details out. He only told Amelia how sweet and good she had been as a child.
Amelia had been chubby too, just like Nina. But she had a much better temper.
When people called her a fat baby, she never got mad.
She would just pat herself and say in her milky voice, “I pretty.”
She knew she was chubby, but she also knew she was beautiful.
While the two adults were reminiscing quietly, Nina-who had been playing happily with the little girl- suddenly turned against her.
The other girl kept touching Nina’s bracelet because it was pretty.
Nina hadn’t minded at first. She only said seriously, “Mine.”
The little girl was maybe one or two years older than Nina.
After touching it for a while, she tried to pull the bracelet off.
Nina’s gold bracelet was inlaid with gems-really beautiful.
Kids loved shiny things.
Nina didn’t like being tugged. Her voice grew louder. “Mine!”
Amelia, who had been chatting but keeping an eye on Nina the whole time, immediately stepped in when she saw the two little ones starting to fight.
“Sweetie, that’s not your bracelet. Can you let go of her and? She has to go now and can’t play anymore.”
Amelia’s gentle intervention didn’t work. The little girl ill wouldn’t let go.
The girl’s mother sat nearby on a chair, reading a book, pretending not to notice.
Amelia’s brows furrowed. Nina was already losing patience.
Just as Amelia was about to call the other mother over, Benjamin crouched down. With a light twist, he freed Nina’s hand from the girl’s grip.
