Chapter 1651


    Sophia arrived at the cafe as nned, and she immediately spotted the middle-aged woman with a hat


    by the


    window. She approached with a gentle smile. "Hello. Are you... Ms. Campbell?"


    Maeve looked up with a tired look. Sophia signaled for a cup of hot milk, recing the strong coffee in


    front of


    Maeve. "Ms. Campbell, you shouldn''t be drinking such strong coffee at your age. You must take care of


    your


    health."


    "Thank you," Maeve replied, her voicecking energy. "Do you have something to discuss with me?"


    Maeve looked up. She had heard from others that Sophia was now Graham''s love interest—divorced


    with a child,


    yet she still had a firm grip on Graham''s heart.


    She assumed that Sophia must possess unique qualities, and toppling Maisie would be a piece of cake


    with her help.


    "I..." Maeve licked her lips. "I don''t know how to begin."


    After a pause, Sophia smiled. "Ms. Campbell, you''re Graham''s foundational teacher, and Graham


    treasures this


    student-teacher rtionship. I feel the same way. We both respect you greatly, so just tell me whatever


    you need."


    "I''ve been forced to resign from the international kindergarten." Maeve palmed her forehead with a


    furrowed brow.


    Sophia was taken aback, but she had heard about it. Maeve had lost to Maisie in contesting for the


    best teacher


    award. Maeve was prideful and must not be able to ept it.


    ''This is good, too,'' Sophia thought. ''I can take advantage of the situation.''

    "Ms. Campbell, don''t worry." She patted the back of Maeve''s hand with a smile. "See me as your


    daughter. Tell me


    any grievances you have. If I can assist, I''ll do everything in my power to help and uphold justice for


    you."

    One evening, Daniel brought Maisie to the Liz-Inn Hotel. Compared to hotels under the Hamerton


    Group, Liz-Inn


    seemed less extravagant, but it had its unique charm. Situated along the mountains, the hotel exuded a


    natural and


    fresh beauty due to its peaceful location away from the city center.


    The hotel''s backyard was adorned with butterfly orchids.


    When Maisie saw that courtyard, it felt like something struck her heart, and she had been transported


    back to that


    peculiar dream. In her dream, she had also entered a ce filled with butterfly orchids.


    "Don''t you like this ce?" Daniel smiled.


    "No," Maisie replied softly. "I like it very much, and for some reason... it feels very familiar."


    Daniel''s gaze faltered for a moment as he silently observed her. "Shall we go upstairs?"


    Maisie nodded, following him. They took the scenic elevator directly to the rooftop restaurant, which


    was situated at


    the highest point of the hotel. Floor-to-ceiling windows surrounded them, offering a panoramic view of


    the city. The


    lights of the city and the stars in the skyplemented each other, creating an unbelievably beautiful


    scene.


    Maisie soon forgot about that strange dream and immersed herself in the breathtaking view. "This


    ce is so


    beautiful. I feel like I could reach out and touch the stars!"


    Daniel had been watching her all along, his eyes filled with affection. He had arranged for her favorite


    dishes. By


    the window, they had candlelight, red wine, and delicious food, while outside the windowy an


    enchanting vista.


    Warmth welled up inside Maisie. She was grateful for the man who had carefully nned everything


    and who was


    always there when she needed him. She raised her wine ss, determined to toast him.


    Daniel''s eyes suddenly felt wet. She did not know how to drink in the past, but she had held her ss


    in the same


    way when she drank with him, afraid he might get upset because she couldn''t handle alcohol.


    In the past, she had forced herself to drink with him, and now...
