The next morning, around 8 AM, Maggie, Xavier, and Hugo arrived at the dock.
Harry and Daisy were already there.
When Daisy saw Maggie, she ran up to her. “Aunt Maggie!”
Maggie bent down to hug Daisy and smiled. “Daisy, long tno see.”
Noticing that Xavier and Hugo looked a little confused as they observed Harry and Daisy, Maggie introduced
them to each other.
Harry was very polite and said, “Hello.”
He then took out sgifts for them, saying, “I wasn’t sure what you'd like, so | brought a few things. | hope you
like them.”
Everyone was surprised at how thoughtful and considerate Harry was.
Not only did Xavier and Hugo seem taken aback, but even Maggie paused for a moment.
After ssmall talk, they boarded the boat.
Xavier and Hugo already knew about Maggie's impending divorce with Franklin.
Seeing how Maggie was holding Daisy's hand and speaking so kindly to her, Xavier exchanged a glance with
Hugo: “Is this the future brother-in-law?”
Hugo shrugged. “I’m not sure, maybe?”
Seeing that Maggie and Harry weren't paying attention to them, Hugo leaned toward her brother and whispered,
“He’s quite handsome.”
But compared to the previous brother-in-law, he seemed much more approachable.

Watching Maggie interact with Daisy, they both felt a bit conflicted.
They knew that Maggie was likely going to lose the custody battle for Isabella.
Not only was Franklin unwilling to give up custody, but they had also noticed that Isabella, who had returned to
the country recently, had been spending less twith Maggie and had preferred staying with Franklin.
They couldn't imagine how heartbreaking this must have been for Maggie.
Now that they saw her developing a new relationship, they were genuinely happy for her.
They also joined in to play with Daisy.
They thought that if they were kind to Harry’s family, maybe when Maggie married him, his family would treat
them well too.
Xavier and Hugo cover to ask Daisy if she wanted to play on the water slide.
Seeing the colorful water slide nearby, Daisy immediately nodded eagerly.
The water slide on the yacht was indoors, and it was hot spring-style, so it wouldn't be cold,
even in the middle of winter.
The slide was something both adults and kids could enjoy, but it was mostly a playground for teenagers and
children.
Maggie and Harry slid down a few times but lost interest.
However, Daisy, Xavier, and Hugo had a blast.
Maggie sat by the side, enjoying the warm water like a hot spring.
At this moment, Harry handed her a drink.
“Thank you,” Maggie said, taking it.
Harry sat down not far from her and said, “You're welcome.”

He then asked, “How old are they?”
“Xavier is 16, Hugo is 14.”
“Do you often take them out to play?”
Maggie shook her head. “Used to, but recently I've been busy with work and don’t have
much time.”
Just then, Harry's phone rang.
Noticing the caller ID, Harry stood up and said, “I'm going to take this call.”
Maggie nodded.
He walked a little further before answering, “Frank.”
Franklin's voice cthrough the line. “Where are you?”
“On the yacht.”
“Are you out at sea?”
“Yes.” Harry's eyes flickered over to Maggie, who was sitting by herself. “Is there something you need?”
Franklin replied, “Isabella wants to play with Daisy, so I'm calling to ask if you could bring

“The boat is out at sea, maybe next time.”
“Alright.”
Franklin didn’t say anything further and hung up.
At noon, the five of them sat down for a seafood feast.
In the afternoon, they lay out on the deck, basking in the sun while fishing.

fell asleep.
Harry had swork to attend to and went to a quieter spot to make a few calls.
When he returned, he saw Maggie engrossed in a book.
Though Harry had studied finance in college, he immediately recognized the book in her
hands.
It was a book that he often saw Franklin reading.
Seeing how focused Maggie was, Harry stopped in his tracks.
Maggie was so absorbed in her reading that she didn’t notice his return until the wind blew Daisy's blanket open.
It was the rustling sound that made her realize Harry was back
Harry sat down in a chair and asked, “This book... do you also read it often?”
He used the word “also.”
