Evan asked softly, “Aren’t you afraid she might hurt you?”
Axel shook his head and flashed a smile at Evan. “You’ll protect me, right, Daddy?”
Evan tenderly stroked Axel’s head. “Give me two more days. If I can’t find it by then, I’ll bring her here,
alright?”
Axel obediently nodded. “Okay.”
Not long after their conversation, Axel closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Evan’s heart ached when he withdrew his hand, finding a strand of Axel’s hair in his palm. He had

“It’s me, Greta,” said the voice on the other end.
Caroline took a seat and replied, “Ms. Shawn, it’s Sunday, and the clothing style hasn’t been finalized

“It’s on Mount Zenya in Fawn County, Staten City,” Greta answered.
Caroline said, “Alright. I’ll deliver the goods to you next week, and we’ll produce them in all sizes.”
Greta remarked, “The extra order must be a hassle for you, right? I heard your company’s fashion

“It’s quite busy indeed, Ms. Shawn. However, it’s manageable,” Caroline replied honestly.

Greta thanked her and then asked, “Are you free tomorrow, Ms. Shenton? My husband and I would like

Caroline couldn’t bring herself to decline anymore. “Alright then, see you tomorrow.”
“Goodbye, Ms. Shenton.”
After ending the call, Greta asked Thomas if it was alright.
Thomas patted Greta’s hand. “Thank you for doing this, love. The child seems quite polite.”
“Her personality is quite admirable, too. From our previous meeting, I could tell she’s well–mannered
and
composed. She’s much better than our Yulia,” Greta remarked.

Greta shook her head. “Let’s not rush it. Giving her a gift before spending time with her might
overwhelm
her.”
Thomas nodded. “You’re the thoughtful one, love.”
Caroline opened her laptop and searched for information about the impoverished area in Zenya. She
was
about to start working when Paige entered the room,
Caroline noticed Paige’s swollen eyes and was taken aback. “Why are your eyes so puffy? Have you
been
crying?”
Paige slumped onto the sofa. “I don’t feel well. Let’s not talk about me. What did Casey say to you last
night?”
Caroline sent a text message to Eira, asking her to bring an ice pack. She then began to share the
details
of her conversation with Paige, satisfying her curiosity.
