Chapter 1036 Catch Her (5)

Her first instinct was to reach out and help the child up.

But little did she know, she had just stepped on a small rock and her whole body tilted backwards.

Elliot quickly stepped forward and caught the woman around the waist.

Rose fell into his arms, feeling his strong heartbeat as her cheeks flushed with a suspicious blush.

After Elliot helped Rose stand upright, he tightened his grip on her hands and nervously looked at her.

"Are you okay?"

His warm breath sprayed onto Rose's face, causing her heart to skip a beat or two.

Soon enough, she regained composure and pushed away from him in panic.

"I'm fine."

Even after distancing herself from Elliot, Rose could still feel her heart beating fast. She pretended to be calm by taking a deep breath before saying with a smile, "Thank you." Elliot's lips curled up slightly as he gazed deeply into Rose's eyes.

Meanwhile, Sean snapped back to reality and quickly walked over to hold his mother's hand in concern.

"Serena, are you really okay?"

Rose shook her head slightly when she saw how worried Sean was looking at him. "I'm fine."

Shawn also came forward holding onto his father's hand while admiring him respectfully,

"Dad! You were so cool just now!"

Hearing this made Rose purse her lips in anger towards herself for being so useless earlier! Why did I have to blush like that?

Just then, some young people who were laughing walked past them making envious comments: "Look over there! That family of four is all good-looking!"

"Yeah! The man is handsome; the woman is beautiful; they look really pleasing together!"

"They have both son and daughter - what an happy family!"

"Their children are too cute; I want one too!"

As Rose listened to their comments, the expression on her face gradually turned cold. She looked displeasedly at those who casually commented about others with furrowed brows wanting nothing more than telling them that they weren't even married!

But before she could say anything, Elliot grabbed hold of wrist from behind,

"There's an ice cream shop over there - kids must want some."

Rose turned around glancing at Elliot speechlessly wondering why he didn't care about those comments as if he agreed...

She didn't understand why Elliot was so sure that he was Rose, and why he insisted on keeping her by his side. The two little ones' eyes lit up at the mention of going to eat ice cream.

Under the gazes of the two little ones, Rose could only go to the ice cream shop for their sake. Elliot asked gently, "Where do you want to go next?"

Sean looked around and finally looked at a sign. "I want to see crocodiles!"

Shawn was stunned when he heard this. "Cro... crocodiles?!"

Sean looked back at Shawn with a faint expression and said arrogantly, "Coward, even afraid of crocodiles!"

Shawn frowned slightly and thought that since this sister wanted to see crocodiles, as a boy and an older brother, he couldn't be more cowardly than her.

So after plucking up his courage, he immediately said, "I'm not afraid! Let's go see crocodiles now."

Elliot raised an eyebrow when he heard this. For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly felt that Shawn had become lively.

Children should be like this.

The previous Shawn seemed to live without a soul.

Elliot spoke up: "Let's go together and see the crocodiles."

As soon as they walked into the alligator pookarea in the park, Sean became excited looking around everywhere. He leaned over the edge of the pool looking down, watching alligators basking in sun or

Swimming around aimlessly, he felt

curious about everything

Shawn saw how fascinated his sister was with everything she saw there, so he mustered all courage possible to follow her closely behind.

Sean glanced back at him but didn't want Shawn standing beside him so he walked away alone.

The alligator pool is a sunken

structure surrounded by thick glass panels Finally, Sean stood on a step which is closest position from below where he can clearly observ@every single one of them.

Although Sean is young but much healthier than Shawn who walks slower than him. So, Sean walked ahead quickly while Shawn struggled behind, trying hard to keep up with him. When his sister finally stopped walking, Shawn smiled slightly, then ran over, wanting to hold her hand. But running had exhausted most of his energy.

So when Shawn got closer to Sean, his legs involuntarily softened and he stumbled on the small step under his feet, then fell forward!

At first, Sean twisted his head and didn't want to look at him. But sensing something was wrong beside him, he finally noticed that Shawn had actually fallen into the alligator pool! Sean was shocked and quickly reached out his little hand to try to grab Shawn.

But he was too late. Their hands were only a hair's breadth away from each other and missed. Sean could only watch as Shawn fell into the alligator pool...

The people around them saw this scene and suddenly burst into exclamations.

"Oh my God!"

"A child fell in!"

"Call someone! Hurry up!"

Elliot heard the commotion and glanced at the alligator pool. He was surprised to replace that it was Shawn who had fallen in!

The man's veins bulged immediately, with even a few beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He turned around immediately but happened to see Sean standing there looking stunned with an outstretched arm.

Elliot became angry thinking that it must have been Sean who pushed Shawn down since he had been treating him badly all day long.

His face darkened with anger as Elliot yelled at Sean, "What did you do?!"

Sean was startled but finally came back to himself. Seeing Elliot looking like a demon in front of him, he realized what had happened - he had been misunderstood again.

A hint of grievance flashed through

his heart but soon disappeared as he stared back fiercely at Elliot. His eyes seemed capable of killing someone like knives piercing through flesh.

Elliot sensed "the little girl's" gaze on him, taken aback for a moment.

This was the first time she had looked at him like this... it made him feel uncomfortable inside...

However, right now there were more important things for Elliot than worrying about these things. Saving Shawn from drowning was his priority!
