Mavis thought he made sense and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll go along with it."
About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the aquarium.
From a distance, they could see Elliot, Sheena, and the two adorable twins standing at the entrance.
The scene looked loving and warm.
Nathaniel stepped out of the car first, quickly striding to the group and leaving Mavis behind.
"Uncle Nate!" Adora called out excitedly as soon as she saw him.
She ran over with her little arms outstretched, demanding to be picked up.
Nathaniel bent down and lifted her effortlessly into his arms.
As she clung to his neck, Adora noticed the red mark on his cheek.
Her tiny finger poked it curiously and asked, "Uncle Nate, why is your face red? It's warm too. Does it hurt? I can kiss it for you!"
She puffed out her cheeks and pecked gently.
Nathaniel froze, having nearly forgotten about the mark Mavis had left.
"It doesn't hurt."
Mavis slowly approached the group, finally catching up with them.
Adora spotted her and immediately put two and two together.
"Mae is here too! I bet you were naughty and made her mad, so she hit you!"
Nathaniel and Mavis exchanged awkward glances.
Then, Adora excitedly turned to Sheena, exclaiming, "Mommy, this is Mae! I told you about her. Uncle Nate and Mae went on a date. They look so good together, don't they?"
Sheena raised her eyes to meet Mavis's gaze, and the two women sized each other up for a moment.
Sheena smiled first.
"You're not from around here, are you? You're very pretty and seem like a really nice girl."
Mavis bashfully replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm from Harbor City. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Jenkins. You're such a stunning beauty."

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