Maisie paused, then smiled and nodded. Having him beside her made her feel more comfortable.

"My work will be done soon. If you can't wait until the weekend, we can leave a couple of days earlier."

"No need," Maisie replied softly. "In fact, I also want to talk to Ms. Corbin."

"What's going on?"

"I..." Maisie hesitated for a moment and then decided to confide in him. "I want to quit my job at the kindergarten and focus on getting my journalist certification." Daniel listened and expressed his support.

In truth, he had wanted Maisie to leave the kindergarten for some time. Linda had arranged that job for her, and it was the reason the Bayers were more approving of her. He didn't want her to have any more ties to the Bayers, not even the slightest connection.

"Do you really support me?" Maisie asked, somewhat surprised. It seemed that no matter what she said, he would always agree, even support her unconditionally.

"Absolutely," Daniel assured her with a smile. "I believe that when you have dreams, you should work hard to achieve them. Quitting this job is nothing to regret. To experience a more fulfilling life, you have to pursue your dreams."

"But aren't you afraid I won't pass and won't find a job in the future?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" He looked into her eyes. "I'll take care of you."

Maisie's heart clenched.

Daniel caressed her head, touched their foreheads together, and softly said, "I know that girls don't like it when others say 'I'll take care of you' nowadays. And it's true that women should maintain their independence.

"But here with me, you can be independent or not. I'm willing to let you soar, and when you're tired, you can come and lie in my arms.

"Maisie, no matter what you choose, I just hope you'll be happy."

"Daniel..."

"When we get back to Cumulus City, I'll help you connect with a few journalist friends," Daniel said softly. "They're well-known journalists in Cumulus City, and they should be able to assist you with your exams."

"Okay." Maisie's eyes became somewhat moist. She was unable to express her gratitude properly after thinking for a while and simply said, "Thank you."

"Silly goose." Daniel grinned at her and hugged her tightly. This time, he not only didn't want to lose her again, but he also wanted to change his previous attitude toward her.

Previously, he had treated her like a pet to be pampered. Now, he wanted to give her respect and space and grow together with her. He finally understood that this was the way to love someone.

One week later, Daniel accompanied Maisie back to Cumulus City.

As soon as Maisie set foot on this land, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Cumulus City was located deep inland but had a well-connected transportation network and was as bustling as Centrolis.

Standing on the street, Maisie looked at the surroundings, which were both familiar and foreign. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't connect the fragments in her mind.

"I know this is where I grew up," she said softly. "But after the accident, I've been staying in Centrolis. My mother and sister visited me in Centrolis, too. So, in my memory, Cumulus City is equivalent to a foreign city.

"But..." She turned to look at Daniel. "I read in a book that people always have a very special feeling for their hometown."

Daniel smiled. "What about feelings for people?"

Maisie hesitated for a moment, unable to answer.
