A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 60

What did the five-year-old kids know?

The so-called exclusion or malicious speculation was only the most direct way after they heard the rumors.

Edmond had always gotten along with Candy.

Everly didn't know but Edmond knew it well that Candy had a handsome father. Candy told him that she didn't have a mother nor father. They all felt that they could stay with their parents.

Candy liked to be with Edmond.

The kids in the kindergarten didn't know Candy was the daughter of Maverick, but the teachers knew.

They had been told by Carolina that if something happened to Candy, they must inform her.

The teachers and the dean could dare to offend the Lamont family or the Kahl family.

After some days' observation, they found that Edmond was something.

He made Candy defend him in everything.

Candy behaved well in kindergarten. Some kids didn't like Edmond as he was a transfer student.

In such a kindergarten, the kids all came from either powerful or rich families.

It seemed that no one knew about Edmond's family background. But the kids were shrewd. They could guess a kid's background by seeing what his parents looked like or what kind of cars they drove.

Edmond was unwilling to talk to those kids.

He had always been arrogant from a young age, and it was precisely because of the arrogance that he seemed to be less sociable.

When the incident happened, the teacher said that Candy took Edmond's cup to drink water. Later she said that Candy accidentally ate rat poison, vomited, and was sent to the hospital. It scared Carolina so much.

However, Carolina told the school to keep it quiet before they investigated what was going on exactly.

Therefore, it was delayed two days, and the teachers blamed it on Edmond.

As he didn't get along with the kids, the teachers thought that he was gloomy, and it was most likely that he would do such a thing.

No one cared where the rat poison came from.

How could a kid know that?

Now that something happened to Candy, the kindergarten immediately found a scapegoat as they dared to offend the Lamont family or the Kahl family.

Therefore, in the afternoon the next day, Edmond was "convicted".

Everly was in Weirdale and knew nothing about it.

Her son was deemed to be gloomy and have an anti-social personality or something like that.

Edmond was a strong boy. Although he hadn't lived with his father since he was born, when he was in America, when the kids taller than him mocked him for not having a father, he could clench his teeth and pouched them to shut up. But now...

He clenched his fists. Thinking about Candy's big eyes and the pain she was suffering, he decided to take the so-called "evidence of a crime" in his hand and drank the water.

"I didn't do it," he said to the teacher word by word, "Candy is my best friend, and I won't hurt her! If you don't believe me, I can prove myself."

Hendrix said to Everly, "Before Edmond passed out, he said 'I'm not sick. Even if I don't have a father, I still have a great mother!'"

...

Everly's heart ached.

Edmond was her beloved son, who never had suffered such grievances.

Now he was treated in this way, and she was the last one to know.
