Chapter 572 Aurelia had no choice but to agree.
William had deliberately picked out several adorable cooling face masks since the weather was heating up. The fabric was breathable and cool, preventing their tender faces from sweating.
Skyler was ecstatic about the vacation plans.
They were heading to an island resort with thrilling rides and a mini marine world.
As soon as they got out of the car, Skyler grabbed William's hand and darted towards the entrance, unable to contain his excitement. He loved these getaways.
“Let's go! Come on. Let's held hands. Let's go, go, go. Let's go off on an outing together..." Leopold watched the two, his gaze deepening slightly.

William pulled out two lollipops, handing one to Skyler.
“William, | want to wear a mask, too." "Okay." William rummaged through his backpack and handed him a mask.
It wasn't quite the right fit for a grown-up, but it would do.
“Wow, this mask feels so great. It's nice and cool.” "It's made of a special fabric that keeps you cool, William said with a cheeky grin.
Skyler pulled a funny face.
“Wearing a mask feels awesome. I'm not scared of being recognized now. | don't... I'm not afraid of strangers anymore." "If I'm not wearing a mask, I'm getting nervous easily, but with it, I'm the life of the party” William said, flashing a bright smile.
Skyler laughed heartily. “Without a lollipop, I'm getting nervous easily, but with one, I'm the life of the party" William raised his hand, standing on his tiptoes, and patted Skyler's shoulder. "Skyler, we're two of a kind." Skyler nodded. “That's why we're the best of friends." Aurelia and Leopold first took them to the amusement park.
It was a weekend, and many families were there with their kids.
Spotting a whack-a-mole game, William picked up a mallet. "Skyler, let's play this game." "Sure." Skyler reached for the mallet as an eleven or twelve-year-old chubby kid ran up, followed by a younger kid, probably eight or nine. "Give it here. We're playing first." He snatched the mallet from William's hand and shoved Skyler aside, grabbing the hammer and passing it to his brother.
William was a bit upset. "We were here first. You should wait your turn: “Back off, or I'll hit you, the chubby kid threatened, raising his fist.
Skyler's grip was firm as he lifted the bully off the ground.
"Don't you dare pick on William!" The chubby kid kicked at Skyler’s leg, causing him to wince and let go. The boy fell onto the ground with a thud.
The kid's brother ran to help, kicking at Skyler, too. William rushed over and shoved him away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't you dare bully Skyler?" Taller and stronger than most kids his age, William's shove sent the little brother tumbling to the ground, bursting into tears.
The children's parents came running, glaring at Skyler and ranting.
"Kids will be kids. Why are you adults getting involved?" "We were here first. You'd better teach your kids to wait their turn, William said angrily.
“Whoever grabs it first gets to play; the chubby kid taunted, sticking his tongue out.
William scoffed mockingly. “You can't win even if you try. All you do is cry. Pathetic." Enraged and emboldened by adult backup, the chubby kid swung at William.
His parents did nothing to stop him. They never intervened unless their child got bullied.
William dodged with agility and landed a well-placed kick right in the bully's balls.
The chubby kid wailed, collapsing to the ground, crying his eyes out.
