and some pastries. She settled herself on the wooden deck, poured tea for Mrs. James and smiled softly. “What a

Landon and said, “Let’s keep a few more birds, likes a canary or a budgie.”
Landon chuckled and nodded, “No problem.”
Mrs. James turned back to Kya and suggested, “Now that the bird have recovered, why don’t you give it a name,
Kya?”
Kya’s dark, bright eyes sparkled, and she responded softly, “Its name is Boogoo!
Mrs. James laughed, “Alright, Kya. We’ll call it Boogoo!”
While she was playing with Kya, her phone rang. She glanced at it, and then turned to tell Landon, “Can you watch
over Kya for a moment? I need to take
this call.”
“No worries, ma’am,” Landon nodded with a grin.

Landon handed some grain stalks to Kya to feed Boogoo.
Kya held the grains up to the birdcage, watching Boogoo peck at them with delight. Her eyes curved into crescent

“Landon!”
Alma came out with a glass of juice, her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance as she said, “Look at your dirty feet,
you’ve tracked mud all over the place! I’ll have to clean it later!”

“And stop sitting here. You’ve gotten grass and leaves on the woolen blanket. It’s a hassle to clean once it’s soiled.”
Alma complained.

child are you?”
Kya remained silent with her big innocent eyes staring back at Alma.
Alma’s tone sharpened, “What’s your relationship with our young master? Are you the illegitimate child of him?*
Kya shook her head
Alma tapped Kya on the forehead, saying, “You silly child, you don’t know anything!”
Kya almost stumbled from the push, but she didn’t cry. Instead, she glared back at Alma.
Alma let out a cold laugh and returned to browse her phone, ignoring Kya
Kya, holding the juice, toddled her way into the garden.
Landon was busy tending to a few bushes when Kya appeared from behind a tree, offering him a sweet grin. She
held out the glass of juice, saying. “Drink. Grandpa”
Landon’s eyes brightened, “Kya, what bring you here?”
“To give you some juice! Kya said with an innocent smile
