Edward Stephens: "Just taking these few things?"
"It's enough." Daisy Ginger said, "The rest can be repurchased."
Edward Stephens watched her clutching the worn toy bear as if it were a treasure, his dark eyes deepening slightly. Then, in a casual tone, he said, "These dolls are everywhere on the street. I'll buy you a new one. No need to take it, it's all worn out."
Daisy Ginger glared at him, hugged the toy bear tightly, and snorted, "I just want this one. Who needs you to buy a new one!"
With that, she didn't spare him a glance and trotted off downstairs in her high heels.
Edward Stephens followed leisurely behind her, watching her hold that worn bear like a treasure; he felt a slight itch in his teeth, his gaze darkening.
He truly never thought there would come a day when he would be annoyed by a lifeless object.

Edward Stephens walked leisurely downstairs, and before reaching the bottom, he heard Abigail Perry's sharp voice: "Daisy Ginger, why did you come back!"
