Maisie's words echoed in his mind relentlessly, like a horde of ants gnawing at his heart.
His hands rested by his sides, gripping his fists tightly.

Ji Anning stepped into the children's room, which resembled Dream Kingdom, and saw the little one sitting on the bed in pink pajamas, hugging a fluffy teddy bear. She excitedly took two steps in one, "Fenfen."
She scooped up the pudgy little one and kissed her on both cheeks, then, still not satisfied, kissed her little mouth.
"Mommy." The girl pouted, giving Ji Anning a displeased look, "Don't want kisses."
Her voice was milky, and her enunciation still very unclear.
"Is Fenfen angry?" Ji Anning bent down to place the little girl back on the bed and lay down beside her, gently taking her small hand, "Mommy missed you so much, can you not be mad at Mommy?"
After speaking, she placed her hand on the little girl's head and gently rubbed it.
"Miss Mommy."
