At half past four in the middle of the night, Rose cout of her room alongside Irene.
The two were preparing to go out to watch the sunrise and had decided before going to sleep the night before that they would not wake anyone this
early in the day.
They two cout and Rose turned on the flashlight on her smartphone, but the lights in the living room opened in a 'snap'.
Wesley was fully dressed and stood in the living room. "I was wondering if the two of you overslept. | was about to go inside and wake you!" He said,
before heading out with them with a bag in hand.
"Dad, we can go ourselves. You should go back to your room to rest!" Rose said, knowing that her father had to work.
"Haha. It's my rest day today, so | can go with you and then chto sleep later," Wesley said. "Besides, it's been a while since | saw the
sunrise. | want to tag along and take sphotos to show your mom later.”

Irene spotted the swallow under Wesley's eyes and knew that he must not have had enough sleep the night before.
"Uncle Wesley, I'm sorry for causing trouble..."
"Irene, you didn't cause any trouble. | have to work the night shift all the time. No, actually, | don't have to work the night shift and | could have lazed
around, but do you know why | still take the night shift?" Wesley was not good at lying, but tried his best to convince Irene that he did want to see the
sunrise.
Convinced, Irene asked curiously, "why?"
"Dad, you never toldabout this!" Rose said.
"Because it's not that important. I've always had a hard tfalling asleep and would feel more energetic at night, so it's easier forto go to sleep
during the day."
"Dad, is that an illness? Do you need to take medicine for it?"
"| suppose it's a mild case of insomnia! That's not important. All | want to say is that not sleeping at night does not affect me. | will just get ssleep
during the day." Wesley shot Irene with a gentle smile. "I've packed breakfast for you two. Take a look later inside the car."
Rose accepted the bag that her father handed over and realized how heavy it was.
"What tdid you wake up, Dad? You even prepared breakfast..."
"Those were prepared last night. | just heated them up. Try them and see what you think." Wesley grabbed the car key and changed his shoes,
before heading out and closing the door gently behind them.
Irene took in every move Wesley took and every word he said. She had never seen such a loving father... More precisely speaking, she had never
seen a man so gentle.
Wesley was like a gentle shower that nurtured all living beings and warmed the hearts of many in the darkness.

"Uncle Wesley, you and Aunt Shea are both great people," Irene muttered. "I truly believe that Rose has been doing well now."
"Irene, we haven't been able to do much for you. Don't read too much into it and just enjoy,” Wesley said as he drove toward the beach.
It was summer time, but the temperature was comparatively lower at this time. If one headed outside during the day, the temperature could go up by
over ten degrees.
Half an hour later, the car stopped next to the beach.
Wesley told the two to enjoy themselves and ignore him, knowing that if he followed them, they would feel uncomfortable. He could just go over to
take photos of them later when the sun rose.
Afew hours later, Elliot and Avery hurried out of the airport.
"l want to go straight to Wesley's house." Elliot fell into silence thoughtfully, and his eyes lit up shortly after. "Let's buy sgifts and say that we are
there to see Rose and Kiara. That would make sense, and we would get to see our daughter!"
