Dulcie stood quietly to the side, finding it difficult to stifle a smile.
Sally was undeniably charming.
Seeing Connolly momentarily speechless, Dulcie interjected, âWhat men can do, women can do too.
And what men canât do, women can still accomplish, such as giving birth to children.
â
Sally redirected her gaze to Dulcie, her eyes now filled with more admiration.
âYouâre quite intriguing.
It seems your personality resonates with mine.
No wonder Kyson is fond of you and wishes to keep you close.
â
With a gentle grip on Dulcieâs wrist, Sally continued, âAnyway, since Kyson hasnât returned yet, Iâll take you to my rose corridor for a walk.
Itâs enchantingly beautiful.
Come, letâs go on the swing together.
â
âWhat ?â
Dulcieâs response teetered between astonishment and intrigue.
Before she could seek guidance from Connolly, Sally had already whisked her away, leading her to the backyard.
âLet me tell you, among the elite estates of Cadiered, thereâs none that can rival my resplendent rose corridor.
Youâre sure to be spellbound,â Sally declared with a flourish as they embarked on their journey.
Uncertain how to react, Dulcie followed Sallyâs lead.
As the kindergartenâs dismissal time drew near, Kyson glanced at his watch and swiftly wrapped up his work, methodically saving, backing up, and shutting down his computer.
He retrieved his suit jacket from the nearby coat rack and issued instructions to his assistant outside the door, his tone firm.
âI wonât be returning to the office today.
Only call me for urgent matters.
Otherwise, Iâm not to be disturbed.
â
âUnderstood, Mr.
Shaw.
â
With his suit jacket in hand, Kyson entered the CEOâs elevator with an inscrutable expression.
Upon arriving at the kindergarten entrance in his car, he found the children just being dismissed.
A line of adorable kids emerged, accompanied by their teachers.
Several parents were gathered at the entrance, eagerly awaiting their little ones.
Kyson stepped out of his car, his tall stature affording him a clear view of the scene.
However, something was amiss today; Destinee was nowhere to be seen.
Frowning slightly, Kyson decisively navigated through the crowd and approached one of the teachers, his voice tinged with concern.
âWhere is Destinee?â
Tilda Craig quickly recognized Kyson and responded, âYouâre Destineeâs godfather, the one who often picks her up from school, arenât you?â
âYes, I am.
â
âTen minutes ago, Destinee got into a fight with another child and was crying inconsolably.
The other childâs parent has already arrived, and we were just about to contact Destineeâs parents.
Your timing is impeccable.
â
Kysonâs brows knitted together even tighter.
âWhere is Destinee?â
