Frowning, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about
Caleb’s behavior, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was.
A group of children stood in a line before us, eagerly anticipating the distribution of toys.
While Caleb continued handing out the toys, he unexpectedly took out a picture of the children in the kindergarten and fixated his gaze on
Elena’s image in the photo. In a seemingly casual tone, Caleb remarked,
Angela’s Library
“This girl is incredibly adorable. I’ll save a lovely doll for her.”
Choosing to remain silent, I refrained from uttering a word.
“Ivy, it’s intriguing how Caleb accurately singled out Elena among the children. What could he possibly mean?”
Ivy, equally perplexed, responded, “I’m not sure. Perhaps he has discovered something.”
Feeling a sudden rush of unease, I clenched my clothes tightly, overcome by an inexplicable sense of agitation
“Could Caleb have discovered the connection between Elena and me?”
Ivy contemplated the situation, offering her thoughts. “It’s certainly possible. Otherwise, why would he have come to the kindergarten to distribute toys without any apparent reason?”
Regardless of the reasons, there was no denying that Caleb’s behavior had been exceptionally peculiar that day.
As I racked my brain for an answer, Caleb persisted with his questioning, “Do you think she would enjoy playing with dolls?”
It appeared that he was testing or probing something, seeking a particular response or reaction from me.
Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I confronted Caleb, questioning, “Caleb, are you doing this on purpose?”
“She is just a random child. Why do you concern yourself so much? Or perhaps she is your child?” Caleb’s smile turned cold.
My mind felt as though it had descended into a state of chaos, overwhelmed by conflicting thoughts and emotions.
I found myself engulfed in a sense of desperation as if being consumed by an overwhelming tide of emotions.
It became apparent that Caleb discovered the truth. His visit to the kindergarten was intended to seek out Elena specifically.

Debra’s POV:
“Mr. Wright, are there no more toys to give out? Are you not giving them away anymore?”
The children in the queue started inquiring when Caleb was preoccupied with testing me and forgot to continue distributing the toys.
“Let’s take a ten-minute break before we continue, alright?” Caleb suggested to the children. “I have prepared a variety of desserts. Feel free to go and enjoy them.”
