Sean patiently explained to her, “When your Papa is in a relationship, you will have a mommy to love you and maybe you will have many little brothers and little sisters! Won’t you be happy, Maisie?”
Maisie finally smiled and replied, “Are we still going to stay together then?”
He forced a smile on his face. “Of course.”
Only then did she feel relieved to head to the kindergarten. She also hugged Judge as her way of saying goodbye.
As a matter of fact, she seemed to understand that Stanley, who was now in a relationship, would soon form his own family and have his own kids. So, it was a matter of time before he would leave Sean and her.
However, she still feigned happiness as she knew that he was upset. If she was upset, he would feel even more depressed. Therefore, she had to be elated to make him happy.
The sun rose later in Bayside City—it was 8.00AM when the day was finally bright.
Casper nuzzled Daniel in his arms and woke the latter up. Daniel opened his eyes and noticed that Alice was already dressed and doing her makeup; it seemed like she was about to leave.
He suddenly sat up. “Are you leaving?”
Alice was applying lipstick while holding the compact mirror as she replied, “Yeah.”
She pressed her lips as desolation filled her eyes.
Daniel rose to his full height and gently wrapped his arms around her waist. “Can’t you stay with me for another day?”
“No, I can’t,” she adamantly replied.
Her reply left him in dejection. As always, career is more important than a man since the latter means nothing to her.
He knew where he stood. Love was not the only thing in her eyes and neither was he.
Sarah had woken up early to see Hope and Poppy off before they entered the car to head to the kindergarten. After that, when she was yawning in her pink, tender pajamas, she suddenly saw Daniel driving Alice and Casper out.
Cooper, who happened to return home, saw Alice leaving in Daniel’s car.
When Michael arrived home after sending Carmen to the kindergarten, he finally took a breather after being busy for the entire night. He switched on his phone and saw that the Fletcher Family’s group chat was extremely active with notifications that he had received messages. In the blink of an eye, the notification showed that there were ‘99+’ unread messages.
The Fletcher Family’s group chat consisted of the old and young family members. It was usually the older ones who were more active since they would share motivational quotes and passages by unknown experts every day. While the young ones were usually quieter and less active, they were behaving in the opposite manner today.
‘Ah, Stan is in a relationship! That’s not bad!’
‘Stan is finally dating someone! It’s something that we have been waiting for!’
‘This child, Stan, is almost 30 years old, and he finally understands the importance of relationships! Congratulations! Try to get two kids in three years, yeah! The Fletcher Family will have new members next year!’
Besides that, there was also another family group chat, which consisted of the younger generation that ranged from 15 to 35 years old. That particular group was even more active with new messages being sent day and night. He secretly opened that chat group, which was currently livelier than normal.
‘Stan, congratulations for popping the cherry!’
‘A warm congratulation to Mr. Stanley for stepping down from his title as a bachelor and nailing a pretty, rich, and fair girlfriend!’
