Chapter 213
Chapter 213:
That night, she kept talking with Kyson until it grew late, drifting off without even noticing. Morning light greeted her as she opened her eyes, only to find the call still active. A jolt of surprise ran through her, and she ended it at once, thinking Kyson should still be asleep at this hour.
Once she finished getting ready and went downstairs, she found that Karol had already set breakfast for two. Catching sight of Kailey, Karol wiped her hands and spoke up right away. “Kailey, go ahead and eat. I’ll go wake Dagmar p>
With a small shake of her head, Kailey stopped her. “There’s no rush. She doesn’t have work or school. Let her sleep in and wake up for lunch p>
After giving it some thought, Karol nodded. “Young people really do keep strange hours p>
Before heading out after breakfast, Kailey gave Karol a quiet reminder. “Dagmar hasn’t been in the best mood lately. Please keep an eye on her, and call me if anything happens.” She said it half expecting Dagmar to stir up some kind of trouble.
Contrary to her expectations, the day passed quietly, and Dagmar caused no issues at all.
That evening, Kailey returned from work and spotted Dagmar squatting in the garden, watching Karol tend to the plants. Pulling the car to a stop, she walked over and looked at her with mild interest. “Since you’re already outside, why not give Karol a hand p>

With a brief glance, Dagmar looked away. “If you want to help, go ahead. I’m not interested p>
A gentle smile stayed on Karol’s face as she continued working, choosing not to interfere.
Dragging over a chair, Kailey sat down beside Dagmar. The air was still, and without any wind, the temperature felt comfortable enough. As she watched Karol move about the garden, she asked, “What did you do today p>
“Why do you care?” Dagmar responded sharply.
No answer came from Kailey.
When the silence stretched on longer than expected, Dagmar glanced over and found Kailey watching her without much expression. Unease crept in, and she shifted before speaking again. “Nothing special. I ate, slept, emptied my bowels, and played games p>
After a brief pause, Kailey replied, “Do you really have to put it that way p>
“Don’t you empty your bowels p>
Words rose to Kailey’s lips, yet she chose silence in the end and turned her head aside.
Dagmar’s eyes gleamed with mischief, and the heaviness weighing on her mood lifted at once.
Quiet settled between them as they sat there watching Karol work. Now and then a light breeze passed through, giving the moment a brief, peaceful quality.
Roughly twenty minutes later, Karol removed her gloves and walked over. “You two actually look pretty friendly sitting together. Hold on — let me grab my phone and take a picture. Just a second p>
As soon as Karol hurried off to fetch her phone, Kailey and Dagmar reacted almost identically. Both rose to their feet, turned in opposite directions, and walked back into the villa one after the other.
Left staring after them, Karol froze. “Hey — why are you leaving? I haven’t even taken the picture p>
With another person added to the household, the atmosphere naturally grew livelier. Amid that odd, fragile peace between Kailey and Dagmar, Kyson finally returned from his business trip.
