Seeing the smile on Freya’s face, Harry’s eyes darkened.
Freya noticed his gaze and, unsure of what to make of it, asked, “What’s wrong
“Nothing.”
Freya didn’t press further. She walked a bit farther with Daisy while Harry stayed nearby, watching without interfering.
After tiring of flying the kite, Freya and Daisy sat by the lake and fished, or crouched by the side to observe the little fish swimming in the small water pools of the vendors, catching them with a small net.
Soon, it was noon.
Harry had originally just planned to take Daisy out for a walk. Unlike other people, they didn’t bring any food, and now that it was mealtime and Daisy was hungry, Harry suggested they eat at a small restaurant nearby.
Having relaxed for a couple of hours, Freya was in a better mood than before and didn’t refuse his suggestion.
At lunch, Freya mostly chatted with Daisy.
Seeing how well they got along, Harry didn’t push to join the conversation but instead quietly moved the dishes they liked closer to them.
While Freya was talking to Daisy, she didn’t notice.
After a while, Harry’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, he turned to Freya and said, “I’ll take this call.”
“Okay.”
The call was from Levi.
Harry walked a little farther before answering. “What’s up?”
“Where are you now? Have you eaten? My friend just sent me some fresh seafood. Want to come over and have some? Matteo and the others will be here too.”
Harry glanced over at Freya and Daisy, then lightly declined, “We’ve already eaten, maybe next time.”
“Alright, then do you have any plans for tonight? There’s a cruise party tonight, Matteo and the others have confirmed they’re coming.

You can bring your little niece along. We haven’t really met her, so this would be a good chance to introduce her to
11s.”
Harry declined, “She’s shy. There’ll be too many people on the cruise. I’m afraid she won’t be comfortable.”
“No worries, Isabella will be there too. They’re about the same age, they’ll probably play together.” Without waiting for his refusal, Levi added, “Seven o’clock, don’t forget.”
With that, Levi ended the call.
Harry:…
After lunch. Freya and Daisy chased butterflies, rode bicycles, and continued until they were both tired. Only then did they stop.
Daisy fell asleep out of exhaustion.
Freya, feeling the need to rest, decided to drive home.
Harry watched her car leave. After a short while, he also left.
Some time later, Daisy woke up, but when she couldn’t find Freya, she furrowed her little brows and asked, “Where’s
Auntie?”
“She went home.”
Daisy’s face fell. “Oh…”
At 7 p.m., Harry boarded the yacht on time.
Matteo and the others had already arrived.
Seeing him, Levi waved his hand.
When he saw Daisy, Levi laughed first. “I guess this must be the beautiful Daisy. Hello, little beauty, I’m your uncle
Levi…”
There were many people on the yacht, and Daisy was indeed a little shy.
After Levi finished introducing himself, Raven led Isabella over.
When Harry saw them, he hesitated for a moment.
The Won’t I and
“Okay.”
Isabella, on the other hand, was more independent and had a good appetite. She went to fetch whatever she wanted. She even asked Matteo, “Dad, do you want some?”
Matteo rubbed her head. “No, thank you.”

The two kids sat together eating. Raven, who was eating something delicious, also shared with Isabella
Isabella happily accepted. “Thank you, Aunt Raven.”
Daisy looked up at Raven with confusion and then asked Isabella, “Isabella, isn’t this aunt your mom?”
At that, the entire place fell silent.
Isabella paused for a moment, then shook her head. “No.”
Daisy cautiously asked, “Don’t you have a mom either?”
Isabella shook her head. “No, I do have a mom.”
“Oh…” Daisy seemed to accept this, nodding.
On the yacht, they were handing out souvenirs, and Daisy was quite fond of one particular crystal keychain. She picked out two of them.
There were only two of those keychains available.
Isabella liked them too, and seeing that Daisy had taken both, she couldn’t help but ask, “Daisy, could you give one to me? I want to give it to Aunt Raven.”
Daisy hesitated for a moment, unwilling to part with it, but then said, “I I also want to give one to my Auntie
Thinking of Freya, Daisy couldn’t help but share with Isabella, “Today, Uncle and Auntie came with me to fly kites. fish, ride bicycles, and chase butterflies… Auntie is so pretty. She will definitely like this crystal….*
Several of the adults were around, but they hadn’t paid much attention to the children’s conversation until they heard this.
Raven, Levi, and Matteo all turned to look at Harry.
