Chapter 164: Was he really worth it?
Tyrone had prepared everything they needed for the camping trip before quickly picking up Raine and Aire. Raine tried her best to act normal despite everything she had just found out. It was really a lot to process, but still, she kept her calm. She really just wanted Aire to have a wonderful time with them. Maybe later, once Aire was asleep, would she talk to Tyrone about her small revelations.
A few moments of driving later, they arrived at their destination. Raine immediately grabbed their backpacks before then beginning their trek up the mountain.
"Mommy, give me your mobile phone. This is a nice place. You and Daddy should have some photos," Aire suggested. "You two are lucky to have me as your photographer, you know?"
At her words, Raine handed the little girl her mobile phone. Aire then also asked for Tyrone’s mobile phone before then taking some photos of the couple every once in a while, switching between the two phones every other shot.
"Why is it always us? You should join in..." Raine commented with a smile.
"I can’t, Mommy. My face will be deleted from it once I disappear," Aire regretfully smiled. Tyrone looked at Aire, who gave him a nod before nodding to Raine as well.
"She found out, Daddy," Aire simply replied.
An awkward silence followed after the little girl’s reveal. Nobody dared to speak, as if frozen midstep in the middle of the forest.
A bubble seemed to pop as Aire broke the silence, "Let’s continue walking. The sun will set soon. It’d be nice to witness it from a nice spot on top of the mountain. Let’s hurry."
Aire then walked ahead of them. Tyrone had a map with him and a radio that the admin provided.
"We’re actually the first ones who tried to camp in the mountains. They plan on opening it tomorrow, but I requested them to fast-track it for tonight..." Tyrone informed as they were walking, breaking through the awkward atmosphere. He already thought Raine might ask many questions, but she remained reticent. It was probably Aire who mentioned to her the risk of asking for more details.
