Maisie hadn’t seen Daniel outside the kindergarten for a few days. Instead, it was the Hamertons’ nanny and bodyguards who came to pick up Persephone.

She didn’t know why, but she would instinctively look for him as soon as school was over. She told herself it was wrong. However, she couldn’t shake Daniel from her mind as if she was bewitched.

As she opened the door to the apartment, the door across from her opened, revealing Graham with a smile on his face. He walked toward her.

She was stunned. Indeed, she had never found out what he liked. Meanwhile, Daniel had drunk this tea when he came the other day. She flushed, feeling guilty.
