"Yes, a few words from certain people can be more impactful than anything we say, at times," Neil said.Evan lowered his eyes in silence, contemplating Neil's words.The dinner ended.After reaching his car, Evan briefly pondered before calling Benjamin.To his surprise, Liora's voice came through when the call was picked up. "Daddy?"Evan couldn't help but smile. "Have you had your dinner, Lia?""I did! Are you looking for Uncle Ben? He's busy for the moment, but he'll be back shortly," Liora said.Evan replied, "No rush. We can talk about you for the time being.""I just got back, Daddy! What's keeping you so occupied? Your memory seems rather unreliable!" Liora complained angrily.Evan chuckled. "I'm dealing with a tricky problem.""Huh, what is it? Let me analyze it for you for just a dollar!" Liora offered.Evan's eyes filled with affection. "Your mother doesn't want to get married to me. What do you think I should do?""What? Why doesn't Mommy want to get married and

Benjamin cast a quick glance at Liora. "Go to school, Lia. I'll handle some matters first."Liora knew Gerri's house was just a few minutes away from school.She nodded obediently. "Okay, Uncle Ben. It's on the way, anyway. You go do your thing while I go to school."-In the afternoon, a dirge emanated from Gerri's house.Liora heard it clearly from her seat next to the window.The dirge distracted Liora, likely due to Benjamin's words from the previous night.Liora wondered, 'Who was that woman in my dream? Why did her words sound so familiar…'"Liora?" her deskmate called out.Liora turned to him in a daze. "What's going on, Chester?"Chester Fox was a clean-looking, slender boy with a fair complexion and refined facial features, unlike the sun-tanned village boys.He spoke in a gentle, soft voice.Liora held a favorable impression of him, particularly due to his calm demeanor.Chester turned to her. "Do you have something on your mind? You haven't been able to concentr

Chester reached into his pocket. "I don't want you to get bullied by them because of me.""I'm not scared!" Liora stopped Chester from taking out his money and glared at the bullies ferociously."You don't get the money! I've never encountered people like you who beg for money! Get some from your parents if you can't handle it. Are we supposed to be your parents?" Liora berated them.Augustus scolded, "You're pushing your luck, you little turd! Do you believe that I can keep you from leaving school today for bringing up my parents?"Liora clenched her teeth in rage. "Fight if you want to fight! Stop making small talk! It's disgusting that you're bullying the weak!""I'm going to make you cough up the money today!" Augustus shouted and rushed forward to begin fighting.Liora and Chester were injured, as were Augustus and his lackeys. Their limbs were bleeding from being bitten by Liora.The commotion attracted the students' attention, and they reported the incident to the teacher

"What happened to your face?" Caroline asked with concern."She had a fight with the older kids." Evan's voice suddenly echoed.Caroline looked at him in astonishment. "You knew?"Evan nodded, his gaze on the injuries on Liora's face filled with pity. Evan would have accompanied Liora back if she hadn't mentioned that the issue was resolved and they had apologized. He wouldn't tolerate anyone bullying his daughter!Liora nestled into Caroline's arms, hugging her tightly. "It's fine, Mommy. I'm very good at fighting! I bit their arms and legs until they were bleeding! They deserved it for bullying Chester!""Chester?""Chester?!"Caroline and Evan asked simultaneously. Caroline asked, "Who is Chester?""My deskmate!" Liora sat upright, pulled out her phone, and showed Caroline and Evan a sneaky photo of Chester.Evan's expression turned solemn. Caroline said with a smile, "Yourdesk mate is very good-looking, Lia.""Yes! Even though he is not as handsome as my brothers,

Neil fell silent for a moment. Just as Caroline was about to inquire about his silence, he said, "How about you?"Caught off guard, Caroline lowered her gaze, and her grip on the phone tightened slightly. "You should go first, Neil.""You're avoiding it, right?" Neil asked.Caroline wanted to refute, but Neil continued. "I'm your brother, and I know what you're thinking about. Carol, the incident happened once. It won't happen again. Excessive worry will only put you in chains at times.""The situation with Scott is over. I feel quite relaxed now, and I have nothing to worry about." Caroline feigned her carefreeness.Neil sighed. "Do you love Evan, Carol?""Of course," answered Caroline swiftly."Why not get married then?" Neil was well aware of Caroline's reasons, but it would be easier to resolve if she acknowledged them out loud.Caroline feigned a chuckle and said, "Where did you get the idea that I don't want to get married, Neil? Evan hasn't even proposed. I can't just gi
