Chapter 1367: The Moment to Change Fate at the Seaside
When Stella and Sam finally saw little Cheyenne, their hearts melted.
How could there be such a beautiful little girl in this world? She looked just like a real-life Barbie doll!
Her eyes sparkled like gems, her little nose and mouth were so delicate…
Was she really not an adorable character from an anime?
The most heartwarming part was when she called them “brother” and “sister” in her sweet, childish voice, making her the cutest little angel in the world!
Stella pushed Kelvin aside several times to hug the little girl tightly, taking in a deep breath of her sweet scent.
“Oh my, little sister, you are so beautiful. How about you come home with me? I’ll steal money from my aunt to raise you!”
Her aunt was none other than Sam’s mentor, Gracie, who was also Kelvin’s mother.
The secret had not been revealed yet, so he did not know that he and Kelvin were related by blood.
Upon hearing her words, the Foley family grandfather and grandson looked at Stella as if she were a thief, afraid she might really steal little Cheyenne away.
Sam also liked the little one in front of him and found her strangely familiar.
He couldn’t quite pinpoint where he had seen her before.
“Brother, hug.”
The little girl opened her arms sweetly and clingily, asking to be held. Sam’s heart melted instantly.
He too wanted to buy a pink sack and steal little Cheyenne away, so his dad would stop nagging him about wanting a daughter.
“Alright, brother will hug you.”
Before his hands could touch Cheyenne, Kelvin had already picked her up.
Want to hug his future wife? Dream on, even if he was Cheyenne’s cousin!
“Cheyenne, you can’t bother brother Sam. He’s sick and not strong enough to hold you.”
Sam thought: I’m sick? Why didn’t I know that?
Knowing Kelvin’s nature, he didn’t get angry.
“Fine, fine, I won’t touch your precious Cheyenne.”
“By the way, Kelvin, next Saturday is Stella’s birthday. She said she hasn’t been to the seaside before, so I want to take this opportunity for everyone to go celebrate together. You should come too.”
Next Saturday! The seaside!
Hearing these words, Kelvin’s heart sounded an alarm.
He stared at Sam. “Do we have to go to the seaside? We could go to an amusement park or an aquarium instead.”
He had taken the kids to both places before; they were fine.
But Sam shook his head firmly. “No, Stella has wanted to go to the seaside for a long time. I can’t bear to disappoint her.”
Seeing his determination, Kelvin reluctantly agreed, thinking: As long as we don’t board that problematic boat, it should be fine.
“Alright, I’ll bring Cheyenne along.”
Since both Sam and Stella liked little Cheyenne, they had no objections to Kelvin bringing her along.
The more, the merrier.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. No one had classes that day.
Kelvin got up early and got himself ready before heading to Cheyenne’s room to wake the sleepy little one from her bed.
“Cheyenne, didn’t you say you wanted to give sister Stella a gift? If you don’t get up now, I’ll go by myself.”
Hearing that he might sneak off alone, the little girl immediately yawned and opened her eyes wide.
“No! Cheyenne wants to go too. Kelvin… take me with you. I have a gift… where’s my gift?”
It was something she had prepared for sister Stella, handmade over several days.
Kelvin couldn’t resist her sleepy and adorable look; it was too cute.
He bent down and kissed her on the cheek.
“I’ve kept your gift safe. I’ll give it back once you’re dressed. What color dress do you want to wear today? How about pink?”
He thought pink looked best on her and suited her well.
Cheyenne softly agreed with a “yes,” letting her big brother help her into a new dress.
Old Mr. Foley knew the two little rascals were going out to play today and didn’t stop them. He just arranged for two bodyguards to follow them.
Normally, Kelvin would have disliked such high-profile behavior from his grandfather, as if afraid others wouldn’t know he was from a wealthy family. But knowing there would be an incident today, he accepted the bodyguards’ presence.
“Fine, let them follow from a distance.”
After saying this coolly, Kelvin picked up the little girl and headed towards the luxury car.
Old Mr. Foley was puzzled. “Strange, why has this kid become so agreeable lately?”
They arrived at the seaside at 10:30 AM, just as Stella and Sam did.
As today’s birthday girl, Stella wore a dress for once-a white chiffon dress that complemented her radiant smile.
The young girl was like a warm little sun.
Sam’s gift to her was a crystal music box. When opened, it revealed a little girl holding a lollipop and dancing on tiptoes.
When it was Kelvin’s turn, he tossed her a yellow rubber duck swim ring.
“Here, your birthday gift.”
Looking at the childish swim ring worth less than twenty dollars… Stella ground her teeth in frustration.
“Kelvin, you’re so stingy! Did you buy this last minute from a roadside stall?”
She hit the mark.
Kelvin looked unbothered; he hadn’t had time to pick out a gift for her…
He scratched his nose and stayed silent.
Little Cheyenne looked at her with worshipful eyes and cheerfully exclaimed:
“Yes, yes! Kelvin just bought it. It cost $13. 80-cheaper than twenty!”
Stella got angry and threw the swim ring back at him.
“Darn it! It’s even cheaper than twenty! I’m going to punish you by making you pay for all our meals and activities today!”
Money could solve anything; Kelvin nodded without hesitation.
“Alright.”
Sam shook his head with a smile. He had overestimated Kelvin’s emotional intelligence; who gives such a birthday gift to a girl?
Angry Stella decided to get back at him by taking soft little Cheyenne away.
“Come on, Cheyenne. Sister will take you to play with sand over there. Let’s ignore this bad guy!”
But Cheyenne naturally felt close to Kelvin and liked sticking to him.
“No, sister Stella. I want to stay with Kelvin. Grandpa told me before we left.”
Stella whimpered; she had been rejected by adorable Cheyenne!
It must not be Cheyenne’s fault!
It must be because she hadn’t spent enough time with her!
Kelvin smiled gently and patted the little girl’s soft hair.
Such an obedient and clingy Cheyenne made it impossible not to love her.
