The girl was cute and innocent, her cheeks rosy. Her eyes had a joyful sparkle.

When she entered like an angel, Lena felt like she was looking at her younger self. However, Lena didn’t have as wonderful a childhood as this child. She was never as neat and pretty. As a kid, she was always dirty, wearing oversized clothes and messy braids. Other children would often bully her, saying nobody wanted her.

Lena often dreamt of having a doll like all the other girls in her youth.

Her heart squeezed, and she turned away, expressionless.

Kasey called out to her, “Hey, you are here too? Skipping lunch to work during the break?”

Before she could respond, Elijah’s cold voice cut in. “Do you think everyone has as much free time as you do?”

Kasey’s expression changed, and she swallowed her words.

But Elijah didn’t care and continued to taunt her. “What are you up to today? Bringing my daughter to watch me?

“Kasey, Nala bears my last name. Don’t set a bad example for her!”

“Madam!”

Lena was shocked. “You…”

The girl held her hand, looking up at her with an adorable smile.

Lena’s heart melted at that smile, like ice cream under the scorching sun.

“Nala!” Kasey quickly intervened. “She’s not a ‘Madam’. Don’t call her that!”
