N hurriedly left before Caroline could respond.
As she rushed off, Caroline couldn’t help but sigh.

It would take an hour to get from the conference center to the kindergarten, and it was already almost 4:30 pm N pressed the button for the elevator and began rummaging through her bag for her phone and car keys.
When the elevator doors opened with a ding, N walked in with her head down and didn’t notice the man in a suit walking out at the same time.
She bumped into him unexpectedly and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t see you there.”
Since she was looking down, she didn’t catch a glimpse of his face, only noticing that he was quite tall–despite wearing high heels, she barely reached his shoulder.
The man didn’t respond and simply brushed past her.
N didn’t think much of it. She stepped into the elevator, pressed B1, and finally found her keys and phone.
Just as the elevator doors closed, she looked up and saw the man’s back. His well–tailored ck suit, broad shoulders, and slim waist,bined with his long legs, exuded an air of unapproachability.
N nced away<b>, </b>concentrating on locating the kindergarten teacher’s number. As a result, she didn’t notice th man suddenly turn back, frowning in the direction of the elevator.
By the time N reached the kindergarten<b>, </b>it was nearly 6:00 p.m.
Mason Kinsey sat quietly at his desk, practicing his writing
Although he was just over four years old, his features and demeanor resembled a miniature version of Damon. Sometimes, looking at him left N feeling a bit disoriented.
Upon seeing N<b>, </b>the
Teacher, 1
Page, stood up and said, “Ms. Kinsey, you’re here.”
N entered the
and smiled at Lilith. “Ms. Page, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“It’s no problem. Buddy is very well–behaved and easy to manage,” Lilith replied.
After a brief chat, N noticed Mason neatly packed and standing next to her.
“Buddy, say goodbye to Ms. Page,” she prompted.
Mason looked up at Lilith. “Goodbye, Ms. Page.”
Despite being almost five years old, Mason already had a mature demeanor, almost like a little adult.
Lilith nodded. “Alright, see you tomorrow<b>, </b>Buddy.”
N walked out of the kindergarten hand in hand with Mason. He automatically opened the backseat <b>car </b><b>door</b><b>, </b>climbed into his booster seat, and fastened his seatbelt, leaving N no chance <b>to </b><b>help</b>.
Seeing Mason’s mature behavior, N felt <b>a </b><b>pang </b><b>of </b>guilt.
Over the years, she had been busy with work, <b>often </b>working weekends <b>and </b>rarely <b>spending </b><b>time </b><b>with </b><b>Mason </b>
At an age <b>when </b>children were usually quite demanding<b>, </b>Mason never acted like other <b>kids </b>never <b>asking </b><b>for </b>anything <b>or </b><b>being </b><b>overly </b><b>clingy </b>

N had wondered if something might be wrong with him and had taken him to the hospital for checks, but the doctor had assured her he was perfectly normal. It was simply his nature.
Relieved to know he was alright, N had finally rxed. She also realized that Mason’s personality probably came from Damon.
Back at home, just as N finished preparing dinner, she received a call from Caroline.
“N, Professor Kington just told me to make sure youe to the celebration party. The big investor is arriving soon and wants to speak with the project leader. His investment will determine whether we have enough funding to buy reagents and drugs! You need to get here quickly!” Caroline urged.
