Ashley looked around and found that most parents were watching their children or checking their surroundings.
'No one will pay attention to two insignificant strangers, ' she told herself.
With this thought, she gazed at Andrew's handsome face and gave him a kiss.
Her face blushed a vivid crimson. Obviously, she was embarrassed to do that in public.
But Ashley felt that she had the guts to things like that now.
She had just kissed Andrew in public!
Quickly, she buried her face in her palms.
That kiss worked. Andrew just stood outside in the corridor. He pursed his lips without saying a word.
Only Andrew himself knew that he was lost in the aftertaste.
As for the content of the aftertaste, only Andrew knew.
"Will you come along with us or stay with your dad?"
Ashley asked Fabio.
"I want to go with you, Mommy."
Of course he would choose to go with his mommy.
"All right."
Ashley then took Richard's and Fabio's hands and walked to the fifth grade head teacher's office.
She easily found the head teacher of each grade since their names were displayed on their desks.
The fifth grade head teacher was still young, about 27 or 28 years old. Seated in his chair with a pair of glasses, he looked quite respectable and elegant.
Ashley glanced at the teacher whose full name was Joffrey Lin.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Ashley Lu. I talked to you over the phone. This is my son, Richard. I'm here to sign him up."
Joffrey raised his head and saw Ashley's smiling face. His was dazzled by her smile.
He had met all kinds of parents, but Ashley was, by far, the most gentle and most beautiful one.
Realizing what he was mulling in his mind, Joffrey felt a little embarrassed.
Casting away his frivolous thoughts, he stood up and greeted Ashley politely. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Lu."
He then looked at Richard and smiled. "I'm guessing this is Richard, correct? Such a lovely boy," he said.
"Thank you," Ashley replied.
"Richard, this is Mr. Lin. He's going to be your head teacher."
Richard bowed and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Lin. Nice to meet you."
"Hello."
It was Ashley's first time to take a kid to sign up.
She had so many questions for Joffrey.
"Well, the procedure is very simple. You just pay the tuition fee and go to the assigned classroom to get his textbooks. Classes will start tomorrow," Joffrey explained. He then asked, "May I have a quick chat with Richard later?"
"Sure, no problem," Ashley answered.
"Thank you."
Seeing that Ashley brought Richard here by herself, Joffrey was a little confused and asked, "Where is Richard's father?"
