Daisy.” Granger walked over, gently taking the little girl from Charlene’s arms. Only then did Granger notice
Daisy was all wet.
He paused, turning to Charlene and asking, “What happened?”
Charlene hadn't expected the little girl to be Granger's niece. She explained, “She fell into the pool. | saw it
happen and picked her up.”
Granger said, “Thank you.”
“No problem,” Charlene said. “She needs to get changed in case of catching a cold.”
Granger nodded, his gaze lingering on Charlene as if he wanted to say more. But Daisy was clinging to him,
crying non-stop as if terrified. Granger didn’t say anything more. Instead, he softly comforted her, nodded at
Charlene, and carried Daisy into the elevator.
Finding herself no longer needed, Charlene returned to her spa session. After bathing, Charlene changed her
clothes and headed to the buffet area to grab something to eat.
Before she could finish, Granger appeared with Daisy. “Can we sit here?”
Charlene wasn’t keen on mingling too much with Granger. But since he asked, she nodded, “Please, take a seat.”
“Daisy, stay put. Uncle Granger will get you something to eat.”
Daisy shyly glanced at Charlene and nodded, whispering, “Okay.”
Granger asked Charlene, “Could you watch her for a moment?”
Charlene wasn’t too eager to get involved with Granger, but the situation left her no choice but to agree, “Sure.”
Once Granger left, Charlene and Daisy were left facing each other. Daisy appeared timid, making Charlene
cautious about saying anything that might scare her.

Unsure of Daisy's dietary preferences or if she had food allergies, Charlene hesitated to offer food from her plate.
After a moment, she gently broke the silence. “Your uncle will be back soon.”
Daisy’s blue, beautiful eyes met hers, and after a moment, she nodded.
Charlene asked softly, “Did you get water up your nose? Does it still hurt?”
Daisy shook her head.
Soon, Granger returned, placing a plate before Daisy and handing her a fork and knife.
Daisy quietly began to eat, taking small bites.
Granger asked, “Is it good?”
Daisy nodded.
Granger glanced at Charlene and told Daisy, “The lady here helped you. Say thank you to her.”
Her tongue darting out to lick sfrosting off the fork, Daisy looked up at Charlene and quietly said, “Thank
you, ma'am.”
It seemed Granger had brought the child over to express their gratitude.
Hearing that, Charlene softly replied, “You're welcome.”
Daisy then looked at Granger, who encouraged her, “It’s okay. Keep eating.”

Granger could sense Charlene’s unease around him, possibly due to their last unpleasant encounter at the
racetrack, but he didn’t dwell on it.
