That morning, the Waikato air was bone-chillingly cold. Axel still felt the chill of the morning air, even though his body was wrapped in a thick jacket."Axel, come and eat your breakfast." Marie placed the breakfast for all the family members on the dining table. Her eyes fell on Axel, who was putting on his black shoes. A line of smiles was painted on Marie's wrinkled face, showing Axel growing big and healthy. The time flew by so quickly."Okay, Grandma, I'll finish my breakfast right after this," replied the boy, who was still busy aligning the socks on his feet.Marie walked over to Axel and put her arm around the boy's shoulder. A peck Marie landed on the top of Axel's head. Marie lovingly stroked Axel's thick hair.The boy turned his head and smiled at Marie. That handsome face looked so adorable, supported by his two clear blue eyes, which were open very wide. Sometimes the question of how Axel's eye color differed from Amelie's came to Marie's mind, but the old woman chose t

That morning, the class was quite noisy. Each student was preparing the name of the person they loved the most to tell in front of the class on orders from their teacher, Mia. Axel and Nora were no exception. And I don't know when, but now the two children are sitting on the bench next to each other."Axel, who are you going to tell the class about?" asked Nora after looking around at her friends. The girl's hands were folded on the table.Even without Axel answering, Nora already knew that Axel would tell her about his mother. "Of course, my mom, Nora," replied Axel confidently, then made a regretful face afterwards. Making Nora stare at Axel with knitted eyebrows. "I'm sorry, Nora, but I didn't mean to offend you at all." Axel's hand reflexively held Nora's hand. The little girl smiled as she watched Axel's anxious face. Axel was afraid that his words would make Nora sad and offended, as a child who grew up without a mother."I'm not offended at all, Axel. You don't have to worry

Living in the Hayes family's magnificent palace-like residence is everyone's dream. All the amenities are there for you to do what you want to do: a swimming pool, a gym room if you want to work out, or smell the natural fragrance of the various flowers planted in the garden. Or maybe a mini bar? All the things you need to unwind are there. A blonde woman walked back and forth in front of the pool. Her hand was biting on a clenched knuckle. What Theresia had done to her lately made her life in the mansion feel like a prison, where every wall she looked at was full of moss of boredom."I'm tired of living like this," Elena muttered in an exasperated tone, more to herself. "What if I don't get pregnant for seven months?" Elena stared wide-eyed at the rippling water of the pond that witnessed her frustration in silence. "Oh, no! No! I'll get pregnant soon, and even if I don't, I'll kill Theresia with my own hands if she keeps trying to separate me from Jonathan. That man was born only

At four in the afternoon, Amelie climbed the stairs to the staff break room to find Axel's whereabouts. As the door opened, the boy turned to reveal a pair of dimples."Axel, it's already four o'clock; get ready. I'll be back soon after meeting Grandpa Benitto." Amelie said with a nod from Axel.Ever since Amelie brought Axel to work, Benitto had been calling him 'Grandpa' when he first introduced himself to Axel, who still didn't quite understand. Gradually, he got used to it. Axel developed a close relationship with Benitto. The man who owned the shop always greeted Axel cheerfully every time his eyes caught sight of the adorable boy entity."Mom, don't forget to tell Grandpa Ben that Axel will be attending Nora's birthday." Axel asked innocently. The boy always tells every interesting thing to the people closest to him. Axel's innocence certainly managed to make both corners of Amelie's lips lift."Okay, I'll tell you. Go change your clothes, Axel." Amelie reminded him.Amelie came

A happy birthday song had just been sung in the wooden dining room at five o'clock in the afternoon."Make a wish," Dorothy reminded her, as the little girl almost blew out the flame on the number five candle in the center of the tart.Her clear eyelids were closed, and her hands clasped together in front of her chest. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. After finishing saying her prayers silently, the candles were blown out, leaving smoke that seemed to curl from the burning wicks."What are you praying for on your birthday this time?" asked Axel, who couldn't wait to taste the tart. Axel's hands were folded on the table, while his clear blue bead kept leering at the tart and Nora alternately. This made Nora snort in annoyance."I pray that you and I will be friends forever, Axel," the girl replied without looking at Axel."Really?" Axel tried to confirm."Hemm," The girl cut the tart and placed it on the saucer. Nora's eyes seemed to be looking at the people around her."Give th
