Graham began hesitantly, "Pammy, I—"
"That's enough!" Zuko said firmly, taking a step forward to control his anger. "Graham, we've grown up together
since childhood. Even if we're not as close as siblings, I've always considered you a friend. I never thought you were
this kind of person!"
Lina was also furious, staring at Graham. "If you had already set your sights elsewhere, why did you have to involve
Maisie? What did she do wrong?"
"Stop it, both of you!" Graham growled. "We're here today to resolve the children's issues, not mine!"
"You..."
"Ms. Corbin, fellow parents," Graham said, stepping forward and bowing slightly. "My son has misbehaved, and as
his father, I'll definitely take responsibility for it. Don't worry. I won't evade it, and I'll have my lawyer discuss how to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcompensate. But my son was beaten—that's something I won't let go of either!"
"What did you say?!" The usually calm and collected Zuko couldn't control himself. "Graham, have you lost your
mind?!"
"Zuko!" Graham raised his voice and fixed his gaze on him. "My son was being naughty at kindergarten, but your
daughter gave him a black eye and a swollen face. That's also a fact! Children can be mischievous, but adults
should know better. I won't deny what I should compensate for, but I also expect you to take responsibility for your
part."
"You..." Zuko felt like there was a lump in his chest. 'Is this fellow possessed? Is this still Uncle Josiah's son and Arya's
brother? This is outrageous!' he thought.
Daniel slapped the table and stood up abruptly. He approached Graham with fists clenched so tightly that his
knuckles turned white.
"Uncle Daniel!" Zuko stopped him, shaking his head.
Daniel took a few deep breaths. In the end, his rationality subdued the anger in his heart, and he slowly relaxed his
fists.
"Alright, let's resolve the matter this way," Graham said, picking up James. "The kindergarten has surveillance
footage. It's clear what my son did and how he was hit. I suggest we leave the rest of the matter to the lawyers."
The other parents were dumbfounded, and even Ruth was at a loss.
Sophia smugly clung to Graham's arm, and they walked out like a family of three. However, just as they reached
the kindergarten gate, Graham saw a familiar figure outside.
He stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at her.
Sophia proudly clung to him like a victor.
Daniel came out chasing and wanted to take Maisie away, but it seemed like it was too late.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaisie walked slowly toward Graham, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness, having understood everything.
Graham handed James to Sophia, letting the two of them leave first, and then he stayed behind.
"Maisie, I—"
"You don't need to say anything," Maisie said softly.
She suddenly remembered scenes from TV dramas. When the girl discovered her fiance's infidelity, she would
confidently take off her engagement ring and throw it at the man in that moment of confrontation.
She looked down and realized her finger was bare. She had been Graham's fiancee for so long, but he had never
given her any keepsake.
Maisie smiled bitterly. This might be for the best, saving her trouble in the future.
"I understand everything now."She looked at him. "I finally understand why she told me she was Mrs. Bayer the
moment she entered the kindergarten. I understand why her son can be so arrogant at the kindergarten, why I
tried to reason with her, but she remained rude and indifferent... Hah! It turns out a woman can act arrogant
because she has a man backing her up."
Graham hung his head, feeling an indescribable complexity in his heart.
