I Changed My Mind
Peyton looked at the large chunks of meat in the bowl, and she didn’t know what to say.
Eric and Rene were growing taller, praising Mrs. Manley’s skills.
The man glanced at her, seeing that she hadn’t touched her chopsticks, and explained, “The
ingredients on the island are limited, so you’ll have to make do with a little.”
Eric bit his lip, and although he was reluctant, he generously placed the meat from his bowl into
Peyton’s lap.
“Peyton, you look so pale. Please eat a little more.”
She looked at the pile of meat in her bowl, and Peyton’s heart ached
even more.
Even if someone who lacks love receives just a little bit of kindness from others, it can still brighten up
their entire being.
“Sorry, I wasn’t very hungry. You guys go ahead and eat.”
Peyton held Chris and left. The winter island appeared even more lonely under the serene moonlight.
Not long after, there was already someone sitting beside her, and it was the silent Phillip.
“There was no food available here if one got hungry at night.”
“Well, I knew, I wasn’t hungry.”
The man handed her a small piece of mousse cake from behind, which

had been slightly deformed after a bumpy journey.
“You couldn’t get used to the food in the mountains, but these should suit your taste.”
Peyton did not refuse; she found the sweet and sour strawberry flavor delicious.
“Do people here treat hostages with such enthusiasm?” she said in a low voice.
“Not hostages, but guests.”
Phillip propped himself up with both hands on the ground, gazing at the moon above and murmuring, “I
know you look down on us in your eyes, you rich young ladies. We may be as dirty as ants to you, but
we still struggle to survive.”
“I did not look down on you, Phillip. Let’s talk again.”
The man looked at her deeply and said, “Okay.”
Peyton picked up the yawning child and said, “I’ll put him to sleep first.”
As soon as Eric entered the room, he boiled some hot water. “Peyton, Mrs. Manley said that people in
your town value cleanliness, so she specially prepared hot water.”
Peyton smiled gently and said, “Thank you.
”
“What are you thanking for? We don’t have good food here, but we have enough water.”
Eric secretly took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket. “I stole this earlier, it’s so delicious. You
haven’t had dinner, you must be hungry. Go ahead and eat it, but don’t tell Rene.”

He heard footsteps and quickly stuffed the chocolate into Peyton’s pocket. The person who came was
Rene, who was also carrying a thick blanket.
“It was cold at night. Mrs. Manley asked me to give you an extra blanket. Let me lay it for you.”
Seeing Peyton not speaking, he hurriedly explained, “The quilt is made of hand–picked wild cotton,
sewn stitch by stitch by Mrs. Manley. She has cleaned it thoroughly, and the quilt is very warm and the
leaves are not dirty.”
“Well, I knew, I was just very grateful.”
Peyton patiently put Chris to sleep. Chris, who was separated from his parents, surprisingly behaved
exceptionally well by her side. He didn’t cry or fuss the whole day and soon fell asleep.
Peyton walked out of the room carrying a small lamp, while Phillip was still waiting there.
He was dressed lightly, but he seemed to feel no cold at all.
Peyton turned off the lights and sat beside him, wrapping her down jacket tightly.
“During the day spent together, I really liked your small island.
Although it was not big in size, everyone was very genuine. You were not bad people.”
Half of Phillip’s face was hidden behind a mask, with a self- deprecating smile on his face. “Stealing
someone else’s child, demanding ransom, and yet I’m not considered a bad person?”
Peyton’s gaze was determined, “I changed my mind.”
