Nolan and Nicholas continued having dinner and didn’t dare say anything.
Maisie got up and went upstairs.
Nicholas looked at Nolan.
"Did you hear what your wife said? You can’t spoil Daisie anymore." Nolan was casual about it.
"You sound like you haven’t been spoiling her."
Nicholas pressed his lips together.
That was his granddaughter.
They had everything, so there was nothing wrong with giving whatever his grandchildren wanted to
them.
Daisie did grow up with all the protection they could give, so once she left her safety bubble, she
wouldn’t b e able to survive.She was naive when it came to worldly issues and didn’t know how to
speak to people.She was too innocent, and if Colton weren’t at their school to look after her, she
wouldn’t even know that she was manipulated.
However, this incident helped her mature a little, or at least she now understood that friendships
shouldn’t be maintained through benefits.
That would be more o f a transaction, and even if it was a transaction, both parties should have
received equal benefits, just like a business deal.
Maisie stood in front of Daisie’s room and knocked.
There was no reply.She opened the door and saw that it was dark inside.
Daisie was curled up behind the curtains and leaned against the door with saddened eyes.
Maisie’s heart ached when she saw that.
She walked toward her and leaned down to look into her eyes.
"Daisie, you should cry if you’re feeling sad." Daisie shook her head.
"I don’t want to cry." She thought that crying was tiring, and there were no tears left after crying for a
long time.
"Don’t cry then." Maisie raised her hand and touched her head.
"I didn’t cry when I was in a worse situation. This isn’t too bad."
Daisie blinked but didn’t say anything.
"Daisie, you’re a lot luckier than I was.You have a grandfather who loves you, your brothers and father,
and me.Your grandmother passed away a long time ago, and your maternal grandfather didn’t love me
when I was young.I’ve gone through all the hardship alone, and I was young and never loved.I couldn’t
just cuddle up to someone like you do."
Maisie slowly stood up and pulled the curtains away s o light could shine into the room.
"Everyone needs to grow, and it doesn't usually go smoothly.You were really happy when you were
children, but now you're in junior high school and have your own ideas.When you get into high school
and college and then out into the world, you will meet more people and understand that everyone has
their own problems.
"You have an advantage over the others, and many people grew up with a disadvantage, but everyone
is equal.You can’t wish that they're all like you.Lisa, for example, you need to get to know her better if
you want to be her friend instead of making her happy with what you think will work by giving her
gifts.Those gifts were a burden to her family."
Maisie turned to look at her.
"There is always greed in people, do you understand?"
Daisie pressed her lips together and got up after a while.
"Mom, I want to see Lisa."
The car was parked in the suburbs, and the sky was turning dark.
The street lamps started turning on when Daisie stood in front of the car.She hesitated for along time
before deciding to go see Lisa.
