Chapter 127: Celia’s feelings

“Mom! I got a cute swimsuit too! A lady from the shop helped me!” Celia ran out of the shop with her hands high.

She wanted to hug her mother and talk about her swimsuit.

Alex had been following her with a pale face.

Celia became headless for a moment. Worse, it had happened while the shop assistant had been helping the little one with her swimsuit. Alex was in his own changing room, so he could only quickly run out of it to check the situation after hearing a loud scream.

It was quite dangerous for a moment as the shop assistant thought she had somehow killed the cute girl!

Everything ended well, though…

It was time to swim.

Celia patted Alex’s shoulder, “I challenge you for a swim race, daddy!”

Alex squinted his eyes, “You sure?”

“Sure,” Celia nodded in her mom’s arms.

She was oddly too serious.

After Sara let her go, Celia ran to the big pool. She jumped, and Alex naturally followed her.

They quickly went for a show match.

In the meantime, the Deathwill Sisters, Olivia, and Remia, took a sunbath. They found a good spot for themselves, far away from many people who had been too entranced by their looks.

They also had Ubo and Bo chilling in the shadow near them.

Everyone except Sara had been genuinely enjoying their time. However, Sara had been looking at her daughter and surroundings too much. It was as if she couldn’t just lay and enjoy the sun.

Remia whispered, “You don’t have to be so worried. Alex passed you two the dullahan’s battle dresses. He also made a deal with the dullahans… Other enemies can’t visit our forest too… It’s really safe here, so believe in us.”

Sara conjured an apologetic expression; her eyes were narrowed, “Forgive me, Remia… I am genuinely sorry, but I couldn’t stop myself… Yes, I will believe in everyone. This place and forest fairies are too beautiful to not believe in them.”

Remia smiled with pride and relief.

In the meantime, Alex and Celia’s run ended.

Alex allowed Celia to win. He was swimming slower, which looked pretty dangerous as it looked like he would drown at any time.

Celia won, but she didn’t show any happiness.

She lifted her eyes and looked at Alex, “You let me win, Alex!”

Alex didn’t expect to get found out so soon, “How come?”

“You are strong! You beat all enemies! You can’t lose against me!” Celia spoke with tears teeming around her eyes.

Alex didn’t know what had happened.

But then, Celia’s whispers reached him, “I’m a burden.”

A burden was the new word Celia had learned. She learned that from the bully dullahan before Alex and others had reached them.

She cried and hugged Alex, “I’m a burden!”

Alex stroked her hair, “You had been hiding this in you? Why?”

“I don’t want to be a burden!” Celia cried those words to Alex’s chest.

He patted her back, “But we told you how strong you’ve become, Celia. No one your age would be able to talk back to that big guy. Your brave stance helped us, and we won only because of you.

Don’t cry… You’ve already become too strong for your age,” Alex smiled.

Celia lifted her eyes, then looked into him deeply.

Alex gave her a reassuring smile, “You are the strongest four-year-old girl in the world! Kids your age can’t even match your strength. Against adults such as that big dullahan, you can only support as you are just too young.

Leave those adults for adults, such as me and your mom, okay?” Alex whispered.

Celia didn’t want to accept that. She really wanted to help her mother and not be a burden again.

But as Alex spoke, he managed to convince the little dullahan.

Celia nodded, “I will support mom, and when I grow up, I will help mom become the best dullahan in the world!” She even repeated a little of Alex’s words, which was too cute.

He hugged her, nodding a few times, “Of course! That’s my daughter!”

“Hehe!” Celia’s burden had been lifted.

They went for another show match!

And then, Alex and Celia were approached by other kids. They all wanted to become Celia’s friends as she was just too cute.

They were her age, so Alex smiled and pushed Celia forward, “Go and have fun with other kids. We will be looking at you from afar. Make a lot of friends!”

Celia nodded silently.

She was kinda overwhelmed by the sudden invitation for a small slide. However, as she approached the other kids, Celia grinned and said, “I am Celia! Let’s become friends!”

“Yeah!” All boys and girls replied with a lot of excitement!

While they went to try a big slide and have their own show match, Alex took a seat by many pools. He, like other parents, had his eyes on Celia to ensure that nothing bad would happen.

He was inwardly scared, though.

He didn’t know how Celia would do in the show match with other kids. They had different races, and demi-humans were naturally born strong. But the same could be said about Celia, so Alex’s worries were little.

He soon let out a proud shout, “That’s my girl!”

Celia won!

Other parents looked at Alex with squinted eyes. He was too loud! So loud that Celia’s new friends stared at him with tears.

Alex blushed from shame and scratched his cheek to avoid all eyes.

From afar, Sara approached him to help him. She sat down, shouted encouraging words at Celia, then exchanged glances with other parents.

Her hand tightly held Alex’s hand, showing their relationship.

They spent time once again as a couple.

“We aren’t just… a husband and wife in the name anymore, right?” Alex asked with a slightly nervous tone.

Sara blushed faintly, her hand tightened around his, “Yes, we have become real husband and wife… I’ve genuinely fallen in love with you, Alex.

I love you,” Sara whispered as she hugged Alex’s arm.

Alex wrapped his arm around her, then replied, “I love you too.”

There was no need to even look at the system messages. Alex wouldn’t even sully the mood by opening the system, nor he would make her misunderstand him. If he truly opened the system, she could think that he didn’t believe in her confession.

That would be the worst, so he naturally didn’t let any other power disturb their moment.

They had a short but nice time with each other. And while no one else looked at them, Alex brought his lips closer. He left a faint but more meaningful kiss behind Sara’s lips.

The beautiful eyes had shone brightly as if a thousand stars of love dwelled within.

Alex felt so content and happy that he kissed her again. This time, the Deathwill Sisters saw them.

Then, Celia had a lot of fun with her big family. They even tried the giant slide that Remia had been frightened off.

Of course, Celia had it so much easier… She was between Alex and Sara, then other aunts were also ahead of her.

“Hehe! It’s so much fun here!” Celia laughed out loud after everyone had dropped onto the big pool.
