Divorce Time 96

Chapter 96

Charlene and Daisy had just managed to get their kite soaring against the backdrop of a cloudless sky, and their laughter filled the air, mingling with the distant sound of children playing and the gentle rustle of trees. Granger watched them, a shadow of a smile playing across his features as he noticed Charlene's infectious laughter. It seemed to light up the whole park.

Catching his gaze, Charlene tilted her head, puzzled. "What's up?"

"Nothing much," Granger replied, his voice a low hum in the late morning air.

Not pressing further, Charlene took Daisy's hand, and they wandered off towards the lake, leaving Granger to his thoughts. He observed them from a distance, content in his solitude.

After the excitement of kite flying faded, Charlene and Daisy ended up by the lake, fishing with just rods and bait, or trying to catch quick-moving fish in a vendor's small tank with a little net.

Soon, it was midday.

Granger had initially planned for a leisurely stroll with Daisy; unlike the others, they hadn't thought to bring a picnic. Hunger crept up on them, especially Daisy, prompting Granger to suggest grabbing lunch at a nearby diner.

Charlene agreed without hesitation to Granger's suggestion. Throughout lunch, Charlene engaged mostly with Daisy, their conversation easy and filled with laughter. Granger, seeing their
