Graham shifted his eyes and nervously chuckled. "Are you overworked lately? It's pretty late now. How about you
get some rest, and we can talk later?"
With that, Graham turned and left.
Maisie watched him go, thinking about his evasive words. She leaned against the wall with a bitter smile.
She had a feeling that their relationship had come to an end.
That night, Maisie tossed and turned in bed for a long time. Her mind was a mess, and her thoughts were all over
the place. She rolled over and spotted the teddy bear on her bedside table. She grabbed it and hugged it tightly.
Soon, she drifted into a dream.
In her dream, she saw a bright white light that faded to reveal a beautiful small villa with a yard full of vibrant
orchids in various colors.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIntrigued, she pushed open the front door, revealing a room filled with classic Eropah-style furniture. The decor was
both subtle and luxurious. She stood there in shock, unsure of what to do. Then she saw someone on the sofa, who
slowly stood up and turned around...
Daniel?!
Maisie was startled and instinctively took a few steps back, but Daniel grabbed her.
"Maisie, you're back," he said tenderly. She wanted to ask him what was happening when she suddenly heard a
baby crying.
Daniel looked upstairs and said with a smile, "The baby's crying. She's looking for her mommy."
"What?" Maisie's heart raced.
She rushed upstairs, but the baby's crying had stopped. She saw a small crib in a room, but instead of a baby, there
was a pillow inside.
Maisie let out a gasp, then turned to see Daniel standing at the door, smiling at her. However, the smile lacked
warmth, and his eyes seemed strangely empty.
"What... What's going on?"
Daniel enunciated each word, "Maisie, this is our home. Have you forgotten?"
"Ah!" Maisie woke up in a cold sweat. She was trembling and took a long time to calm down. She had no idea why
she had had such a dream or why Daniel had been in it.
The day had already dawned, and she had a splitting headache from the dream. She was about to get some food
from the kitchen when Ruth called her.
Ruth sounded extremely anxious. "Ms. Squire, I'm really sorry, but please come to the kindergarten now."
"What's happened?"
"All the parents of the children who had conflicts with James before have arrived, and James' mother will be here
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshortly. All the parents are planning to resolve these issues once and for all today, so as the homeroom teacher,
you have to be there."
"Alright," Maisie softly agreed. "I'll be there immediately."
After a quick freshening up, she was about to leave when she found Daniel waiting outside her door.
She was taken aback. She remembered her strange dream from the night before and felt a bit embarrassed. She
forced a smile. "Mr. Quimby... Is there something you need?"
Daniel looked serious, with a hint of complexity in his gaze that she couldn't quite discern. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the kindergarten. Many parents are there today, and Ms. Corbin hopes to resolve the issues all at
once."
Daniel's expression changed slightly, and he firmly said, "Don't go."
"What did you say?" Maisie asked in surprise.
"Don't go today." Daniel's tone allowed no argument. "If there's anything, I'll handle it."
