It was actually Asher who had taken Sheena's phone to call Nathaniel.
"Nathaniel, I'm with Daddy, Mommy, and Adora. We're on our way to the aquarium."
Nathaniel was pleasantly surprised.
"You're finally willing to visit the aquarium?"
Asher's voice was proud as he replied, "It's a gift from you, and you forced it into my hands. Why shouldn't I?"
"Alright."
Nathaniel could tell Asher had not fully forgiven him.
Nonetheless, he was not deterred.
His tone grew even gentler as he asked, "Did you call just to tell me this? The aquarium is yours. I'm only hiring others to manage it. You can visit whenever you like, no need to ask me."
Asher scoffed. "You're reading too much into it. I plan to remodel the aquarium and add some interesting animals."
"Of course, you can add whatever animals you want."
"Hmph! Calm down. You might not be able to afford it. If you have time, come over, and we’ll discuss it."
Despite his young age, Asher's tone was commanding, like a little adult who had everything planned out perfectly.
"Sure," Nathaniel agreed immediately.
He could not possibly refuse Asher's invitation.
Asher hung up without a word of goodbye, maintaining his arrogant demeanor.
Nathaniel decisively made a U-turn at the next intersection, heading toward the aquarium.
Mavis noticed the change in direction and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Elliot's family is visiting the aquarium. I'm going to join them."
"Should I get out now?"
Nathaniel gave it a thought and replied, "Come with me. Adora is there too. You know the aquarium better than I do, having worked there for years. You'd be great at explaining marine life to the kids."

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
