As the smell of the charcoal grill began to rise, the sun set halfway down the mountain.The fiery clouds in the sky reflected on the lake, staining it orange and red as well.Sylvia was experienced in cooking barbecue and soon served up a plate of grilled meat.

Isabel had been waiting with her mouth open for a long time, so Sylvia immediately took two skewers to her. However, instead ofrushing to stuff her own mouth, the little girl ran over to Thomas and Liam. She gave them the two skewers before coming backto ask Sylvia for more.

Before they knew it, the plate of skewers was empty.Meanwhile, Sylvia grilled another plate.

Isabel held the plate and divided the food among Thomas, Liam, Aunt Tonya, Theodore, and the workers who were in charge ofpruning the garden.

The atmosphere was very lively.

Sylvia could see that Isabel was behaving very well even though she was rather noisy, so she focused on grilling the otheringredients.

However, while she was focused on her task, she suddenly heard a splash from not far away.She was shocked.

Then, Theodore cried out, “Isabel fell into the water!”

Sylvia’s hands shook, and she immediately ran toward the lake.

It was not dark yet, so she could see the little girl flailing in the water.

Just as Sylvia was about to jump in, a figure beside her was faster and instantly leaped inside. With a splash, he jumped into thewater and quickly swam over to Isabel. He then scooped her up in his arms before swimming back to the shore.

Sylvia hurriedly crouched down and reached out to them.

In a short while, Isabel was brought over to her.

Sylvia quickly carried her up.

The little girl was choking on the water.

Sylvia turned her body sideways and patted her on the back.

After spitting out a mouthful of water, the little girl's chubby face began to look a little better.Sylvia could not help but frown and look at Isabel sternly.

Probably knowing that she had done something wrong, the girl’s small mouth trembled, and her eyes instantly reddened beforeshe fell into Sylvia’s arms. She babbled on as she sobbed, “I was wrong, Mommy. | won’t play by the water ever again.” Sylviahugged her tightly in her arms. Although her heart ached, she still said seriously, “I'll forgive you this time, but if this happensagain, | won't forgive you the next time.”

“Mm-hmm. | know.”

Sylvia immediately picked her up. Then, she saw Thomas, who was still soaking wet.

Theodore had handed him his jacket, but Thomas did not put it on. He looked at Isabel in Sylvia's arms.Sylvia said to him, “Thank you, Thomas. Isabel is fine now. I'll take her back to change her clothes. You should also change intosome clean clothes so that you don’t catch a cold.”

Thomas looked relieved. “Okay.”

Sylvia quickly carried Isabel back to the house.

Liam also followed them.

She dried the little girl’s hair, changed her into some clean clothes, and met Liam in front of the door.The little boy's face was impassive and cool as he stared

at Isabel.

Isabel pouted and called out, “Liam.”

Liam extended a small hand toward her. She immediately placed her chubby hand in it.

He said, “Follow me. You’re not allowed to stay more than half a meter away from me.”

He clearly still had a child’s voice, but his tone was overbearing

Sylvia pursed her lips. For a moment, she did not know whether to feel happy or helpless.
