"In a few days?" Maisie's surprise grew.
She thought the child might come from a divorced family, and the woman probably meant that she would find a
stepfather for him in a few days.
Maisie felt for the child, who seemed quiet and timid. Since he arrived, he hadn't said a word.
Now, she realized it was because he lacked his biological father's protection.
With this in mind, Maisie smiled at the boy. However, James suddenly fixed his gaze on her, his beautiful amber eyes
displaying an unexpected coldness for his age.
Maisie shivered, taken aback by such a gaze coming from a child.
"Ms. Squire?" The woman gently stroked James' head. "Isn't my son adorable?"
"Oh..." Maisie snapped back to reality and managed a smile. "Yes, he's very handsome and cute."

James nodded obediently, but Maisie couldn't shake the feeling that she saw a hint of a mocking smirk on the boy,
well beyond his years.
Maisie looked at the woman. "Ma'am, may I have your contact information? In case there's an emergency with
James, I can reach you immediately."
"Of course." The woman provided her phone number.
When Maisie asked how she should address her, she smiled cryptically and said, "My future husband's last name is
Bayer. You can call me... Mrs. Bayer!"
"Mrs. Bayer?" Maisie was surprised.
She felt something was amiss, like a heavy weight on her chest, making her uncomfortable. But then, she
considered there were millions of people in Centrolis, and there was more than one family with the last name
Bayer.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence...
Maisie lowered her head, smiled, and scolded herself for being too sensitive and unfairly suspecting Graham of
everything, making herself paranoid.
"Alright, Mrs. Bayer." She shook hands with the woman, took James by the hand, and smiled politely. "You can rest
assured with your child under my care. I'll do my best to ensure that your child has a wonderful childhood."
Unexpectedly, James was far from an ordinary child.
Within three days of enrolling in the kindergarten, Maisie received more than 30 complaints about James from
various teachers.
All the teachers reported that James was a very unusual child. No matter what the teachers said to him, he acted
as if he couldn't hear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first, Maisie assumed it was a language barrier. After all, he was a mixed-race child who had grown up abroad. It
was understandable that he might have trouble adapting.
Later, she discovered he was fluent in their language and understood several dialects. When the teachers tried to
discipline him, he simply pretended not to understand.
Not only was he disobedient, but he also dominated the class, bullying other children. He began with hitting, then
progressed to shoving and even biting...
He would also intentionally damage the other children's toys and classroom equipment.
The children in the class all came from prestigious backgrounds and were raised with good manners and discipline.
They had never encountered a wild child like James.
As a result, they endured the bullying and went home to cry.
As more parents came forward, demanding an explanation from the kindergarten, Ruth didn't dare to offend them,
given their wealth and status. This left her feeling extremely anxious.
During that time, Maisie was equally exhausted. She even forgot about the enrollment application form.
One day, Ruth, who was extremely frustrated, dragged Maisie to complain, "If I had known, I wouldn't have enrolled
this problematic student! It's driving me crazy—crazy!"
