After Mr. Thomas's memory stream ended, Mr. Thomas let an oppressive silence fill the room, his frustration and boredom clearly visible on his face.The intense emotions flooded back and made Mr. Thomas unable to stand anymore. He sank into a swivel chair, facing the window, gazing into the distance. Meanwhile, Axel was dumbfounded, his heart aching with pain when thinking about Daisy. His knees gave way, and he could barely stand on his own. His eyes burned, his throat constricted from shock, and he could only stare blankly at Mr. Thomas. Oh God, what should Axel do? Daisy had made a daring and difficult decision. She had sacrificed so much for him. Yet Axel had once blamed her for being narrow-minded and for not giving him a chance to explain, and she had left him so heartlessly. After what felt like an endless few seconds, Axel finally summoned the courage to speak."Did you let Daisy go like that? Why didn't you keep her? Axel's voice quivered with emotion. He wanted to cry, but h
"Hebe." Seeing his wife faint, Mr. Thomas panicked and called her name, then quickly got up from his chair. He intended to approach Mrs. Hebe to check on her condition. Sensing Mr. Thomas's concern for his wife, Axel reassured him."Please, rest assured, your wife just fainted. She's probably overwhelmed and in shock by the news about Daisy."Hearing Axel's words, Mr. Thomas involuntarily sighed with relief, knowing that his wife was still okay. He sat back in his chair instead of going closer to Mrs. Hebe. Meanwhile, Axel gently lifted Mrs. Hebe and laid her down on the sofa.A silence filled the room as the two men were lost in their own thoughts, and Mrs. Hebe remained unconscious. Finally, Mr. Thomas spoke up, still doubting the truth of the matter."Axel Smith, tell me, is it true that Daisy is dead? Mr. Thomas asked, hoping that this terrible news was not true."I can't be certain of that," Axel stated firmly. "In my opinion, we should focus on positive things.""You're right. W
Not stopping there, Grace suddenly offered her assessment of Axel."You really don't think things through. If you want to impress Daisy, you don't need to act foolishly and harm yourself like that. I bet on your way here, many people were gossiping and criticizing your foolish behavior.""I don't care about those trivial matters," Axel confidently replied. "People's opinions of me don't matter.""You may not care, but your actions will cause concern for someone," Grace subtly implied."Who are you talking about? Axel curiously asked. He felt both surprised and puzzled by Grace's statement.Grace didn't give a direct answer. Instead, she cast a sidelong glance at Daisy. Following Grace's gaze and noticing Daisy's shy demeanor when their eyes met, Axel understood and felt very happy."Axel, how did you know I was here? Daisy hesitated to ask, wanting to steer the conversation back to the main point. "And what happened to me? Why am I here?"Upon Daisy's question, both Axel and Grace wer
Without hesitation, Grace made a final and resolute decision."Henry, do you want Uncle Axel to become your father? Grace surprisingly asked a very straightforward question, causing everyone in the room to stop in their tracks and look at Grace. They all displayed a mixture of surprise and confusion. Grace didn't care about Daisy and Axel staring at her intently; she only focused her attention on Henry, patiently waiting for the boy's answer."Grace, what are you talking about? Daisy regained your spirit, responding with an unusual seriousness in his voice.Not allowing Daisy to express her disagreement or offer any opinions, Grace cut her off bluntly, saying, "Daisy, I'm not talking to you right now. Please refrain from speaking for the moment."Daisy wanted to argue with Grace but couldn't because Grace completely ignored her. As for Axel, in contrast to Daisy's tension and confusion, he was eagerly awaiting Henry's thoughts and feelings about him. This was important to Axel, so jus
"Daisy, I love you," Axel whispered in his confession. Axel couldn't stop himself from saying those words of love to Daisy. He had missed it for too long, and Axel didn't want to hesitate anymore. Axel didn't expect Daisy to reciprocate his feelings right away, but he was determined to win Daisy's heart once again."I love you too, Axel," Daisy replied shyly, surprising Axel."Is it true, Daisy? Axel wanted to confirm."I know it might sound unbelievable, but after getting encouragement from Grace and seeing your sincerity, I can confidently say that my feelings are genuine. I can swear," Daisy affirmed seriously, fearing that Axel might not believe her."You don't have to swear, Daisy, because I believe you. Axel smiled happily and said, "I'm just so happy that I don't know how to express that happiness.""I'm happy too," Daisy timidly admitted.The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Without saying another word, Axel's lips found Daisy's. Their kiss was sweet and filled wit
In no time, dinner was ready. The three of them gathered together to enjoy the meal. Grace didn't come home because Axel had informed her of Daisy's discharge from the hospital beforehand. Grace was thoughtful and understanding, knowing that Axel and Daisy needed privacy, so she decided to stay at her friend's house for the night. Henry enjoyed the meal immensely. Perhaps it was the best dinner he had ever had, and there would be many more like it in the future. Henry believed this as he saw the tenderness that Axel showed him and Daisy. After dinner, Henry and Axel played and joked around together, engaging in various games, their laughter filling the house. Daisy observed the scene with fondness and happiness. It wasn't until Henry became tired and exhausted that he lay down on the floor to sleep. Henry had never been happier than today; he played with great enthusiasm and wholeheartedness. Perhaps it was because he now had a father. Seeing Henry soundly asleep, Axel couldn't help
Mom's awake! Henry exclaimed as he accidentally turned around and saw Daisy. At this moment, Daisy was momentarily caught off guard, and upon hearing Henry call her, she jolted awake, feeling somewhat embarrassed, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.Axel also turned to look at Daisy, giving her an affectionate smile. "Still early; why aren't you sleeping longer?"Daisy shook her head and replied, "I didn't want to sleep anymore. Then, she added hesitantly, "I should have been the one preparing breakfast. Why didn't either of you wake me up?""Dad said Mom should get more rest; it's good for the baby's development," Henry quickly explained. "Besides, Dad and Henry can handle breakfast without Mom's help."Daisy looked at Henry, smiling warmly at her son's concern, and then at Axel, appreciating his thoughtfulness and attentiveness."So, what are you two making? Let me lend a hand," Daisy enthusiastically offered, stepping into the kitchen but being stopped by Henry."This
"Now, what are you thinking? Seeing that Daisy still didn't say anything and showed no signs of admitting her mistake or being afraid of being kicked out of the apartment, the man immediately lost his temper and questioned her. As for Daisy, she knew better than to argue or engage in a confrontation with this man. After all, he was just a cleaning staff member, not someone with the authority to decide matters for Daisy. Therefore, Daisy didn't need to compromise or appease him. "I sincerely apologize. I will discuss the matter with the apartment management to handle it appropriately for you," Daisy said, bowing her head to demonstrate her sincerity. Daisy's simple words were actually a gentle warning to the other party. The man couldn't do much more, as he was sure Daisy was a smart and shrewd woman, not easily intimidated. So he considered himself unlucky, swallowed his anger, and left. However, before the man could leave the apartment, Axel appeared and stopped him. "We will mov
