Then he bought a new ice cream cone for the boy and made a funny face at him in an effort to make the child laugh.
“Cheer up, kid.”
Sure enough, the little boy stopped crying and a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
“Good! You Look so cute when you smile.”
Caleb gently ruffled the boy’s hair and then stood up. He then handed some cash to the boy’s mother and said with a smile, “I hope your mood won’t be affected by what happened. After all, we’re in an amusement park. Let’s all have fun today, okay?”
The boy and his mother had no objection and left peacefully.
As I followed Caleb away from the crowd, I looked at him in surprise.
“Caleb, I didn’t know you could be so patient with kids.”
“one”
Caleb raised his head high and looked proud.
“I’m actually quite good with kids, Debra. There isn’t a kid I can’t handle.”
Then he looked at me and said in a helpless, doting tone, “I’m just not that good with you.”
My heart skipped a beat and I turned my head away, blushing furiously.

“Let’s not talk about that right now.”
I quickly changed the topic. “I have to find Luca. He’s still with the kidnapper.”
Caleb, on the other hand, was very calm.
“Don’t worry. I doubt a
‘kidnapper’ would take their victim to an amusement park.”
Truth be told, I had the same thought. But I didn’t dare to relax, not while Luca was still missing.
Who knew what the kidnappers would do?
I couldn’t afford to take Luca’s situation lightly, even if it was unlikely that he was actually kidnapped.
“Whatever happens, we have to find him first,” I said to Caleb firmly.
“I have to take him back to Riley.”
“I understand,” Caleb replied obediently. “Maybe Luca was taken to his favorite ride-would you know what that is?”
I pursed my lips and thought for a moment.
