Chapter 204
Sophia opened her mouth again, clearly trying to get Harry’s attention.
"Harry, I—"
But Harry didn’t even glance her way. He turned his head toward Daisy, who was still sitting near him, and spoke gently.
"Daisy, are you thirsty? Want some water?"
Daisy nodded immediately. "Yes, please."
Harry reached for the glass on the table, poured her some water, and handed it to her. She took a few sips, then hopped off the couch and scurried back over to Liora.
The two of them had been chattering nonstop about the little toys Liora had brought along earlier.
As soon as Daisy sat back down, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small figurine, some cartoon character with big eyes and a goofy smile.
"I got this during the New Year holiday when I went to the movies," Daisy said excitedly, holding it out to Liora. "It’s for you."
Liora’s eyes went wide. She took it carefully, turning it over in her hands like it was made of glass.
"You went to the movies during the New Year holiday?" she asked, her voice tinged with envy.
"Yeah!" Daisy grinned. "My uncle and aunt took me. And after the movie, we went to the arcade. My aunt is really good at games. We didn’t get to play for long though, ’cause my uncle had to leave."
