If Cayn's memory served him right, Dany had never liked playing with other kids.
"You can go and head home if you want to." Dany only stared coldly at Cayn.
Cayn, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.
"My honey Dany, don't you miss your daddy?"
This time, Dany simply ignored Cayn and went straight into the schoolyard.
Even the teacher somehow felt embarrassed. She had never expected such coldness from an adorable little girl.
But even the coldness on her face didn't change her lovely features.
The teacher blushed as she fixed her eyes on Cayn's blank face. "We will take good care of all the kids here," she spoke in a reassuring tone.
Watching Dany disappear into the schoolyard, Cayn stood up. The tender loving look on his face had faded away.
"Keep an eye on my daughter. If something bad happens to her, I promise that your kindergarten will shut down!" the man demanded with thin smile.
The teacher didn't expect this, shrugged and stammered with a flushed face, "Okay... Okay."
"Well, hurry up and keep up with her,"
Cayn commanded and coldly stared at Dany's teacher as he frowned with discontent.
"Oh, okay."
The teacher was taken aback by Cayn's request. Instead of furthering her conversation with him, she turned around and simply rushed towards Dany.
Cayn, on the other hand, stood by the school's gate thoughtfully until Dany's figure had completely disappeared from his sight.
Suddenly he felt deeply sad. Dany had just left his side, and now he sorely missed her.
"Why did Dany come here on a whim? Tell me something. She never really liked playing with other kids," Cayn asked all of a sudden.
Standing behind him, Zed's mouth twitched nervously.
How could he know anything that even his boss had no knowledge of?
"I have no idea, boss."
"Everything seems so dull here. Just let Dany have her fun. She will miss home when she eventually finds this place boring.
Ah, remind me to pick up Dany this afternoon... Aargh, never mind, I'll remind myself."
Zed became rather numb.
A lot had changed since Cayn adopted Dany.
Zed watched Cayn, who still looked towards the kindergarten, and asked, "Boss... Dany has to go to school eventually. And in the future, she might even introduce you to a boy that she has a crush on."
Zed couldn't read what was on his boss's mind.
Zen had doubts whether Cayn considered Dany as his own daughter.
'What kind of man would want to cradle his daughter all her life?' Zed thought to himself.
Dany was indeed still young...
But Zed found Cayn to be too possessive.
Zed could still clearly recall what happened at their last banquet.
Back then, a little boy from a prominent family tried to make friends with Dany.
The two children were very fond of each other, and so they held hands while they played. Seeing that, Cayn marched towards them and carried Dany in his arms. What's more, he forbade the boy from touching her daughter ever again.
That was a bit over the line. Everyone was quite confused by the scene that Cayn had made, especially the boy's parents.
As an individual, Dany also needed to make friends of her own.
But Cayn's explanation was that boy did not deserve Dany's friendship.
Well, for this matter, Cayn's overreaction was somewhat understandable.
But keeping Dany in his arms or close by his side forever didn't make any sense.
Cayn's face grew dim as he heard what Zed had said. "It is possible to have a private teacher for my daughter, right?" he retorted.
