The first rays of the morning sun streamed through the tall glass windows of the mansion, covering the marble floor with a soft golden glow.The entire house was still quiet.The usual sounds of the household staff had not yet filled the hallways. Even the garden outside looked peaceful. Only the cheerful songs of the birds blended with the cool morning breeze.Graziel slowly walked downstairs.She had just finished taking a shower, so her long hair was still slightly damp. She was not wearing her uniform yet because it was still early. Instead, she wore an oversized white shirt and a pair of light blue jeans, comfortable enough for preparing breakfast.As soon as she entered the kitchen, she stopped. Someone was already there.Kevin stood in front of the coffee machine, holding his favorite black ceramic mug. The sleeves of his white button-up shirt were rolled up to his elbows, and he quietly stared at the machine as if waiting for something to happen.He turned when he sensed someo

The leaves of the old acacia tree gently danced in the cool breeze. Under its wide shade, Graziel carefully spread out a checkered picnic blanket while Kevin placed the picnic basket beside it.A few moments later, Junie sat in the middle of the blanket, hugging Mr. Fluffy as if the little bunny were an honored guest at their picnic."Perfect!" she said happily as she looked around.Graziel smiled.

Across from them, Kevin quietly watched his daughter. He didn't say a word.But Graziel noticed how his expressi

Laughter filled the garden once again as the three of them walked back to the picnic blanket. As soon as Junie sat down, she hugged Mr. Fluffy and placed the little bunny on her lap."I won," she proudly said.Graziel smiled as she fixed the loose strands of hair that the wind had blown across her face."I thought nobody wins?""I changed my mind."Graziel laughed. "You change the rules so fast.""I'm the boss."She simply shook her head with a smile. On the other side of the blanket, Kevin quietly sat down. He picked up his bottle of water again, took a few sips, and closed the cap.Even though he remained quiet, Graziel could feel that he was much more relaxed than when she first arrived at the mansion. He no longer looked like someone who was always in a hurry. He also didn't seem to be thinking about work, even on a weekend."Daddy!"Kevin looked at his daughter. "Hm?""One more game!" She smiled brightly."I had a feeling you were going to say that.""Please?" Junie turned to Gra
