Chapter 181
“Let’s go in.”
The teacher had to talk to the parents on the first day of kindergarten; both of them knew this.
“Yeah.” Hesper nodded and asked Renee to go back by herself first, as she wanted to go to the mall to buy some delicious food with Renfrew after fetching him from school, only then would they go home.
Rickard observed Hesper secretly from the side- Her hair was tied up, which was rare to see. It made her look very similar to the version of herself from way back, when she was in her student days and only dared to follow him around quietly, and it looked just like a tiny ponytail.
Hesper seemed very happy that day; her brows and eyes looked unusually relaxed. She might not have even realized that, when the two of them were walking side by side, even the corners of her lips curled slightly upward.
“Go left.” Hesper looked at Rickard, who was walking straight forward, and called out to him. “Rickard? What’s occupying that brain of yours?”
‘You.”
Rickard came back to his senses and did not say anything, just shook his head.
ve
Zikmund taught me this. Whenever I don’t know what to say or how to prevaricate any of the situations that I’m in, I’ve been taught to not speak at all.’
“Pfft, you don’t usually talk much anyway.”
Hesper did not feel that something was wrong. She only thought that Rickard was thinking about work. She nodded. “Just go straight and the classroom will be upfront.”
The two found Renfrew’s classroom. The other children had already been picked up by their parents, so Renfrew was the only one that was still obediently sitting on his little chair, concentrating on building with the blocks in front of him.
“Are
you Renfrew’s parents?” The teacher came over from the front door. When she saw Hesper and Rickard’s faces, she could not help but freeze for a split second.
‘No wonder Renfrew looks so delicate and handsome at such a young age. It turns out to be his genes.’
“Hi, Ms. Zeelen, how did Renfrew do today? Was he obedient?”
Hesper had not been a parent before, so she did not know what question to ask, but after giving it some thought, the questions that she could ask would only surround a few certain topics. Although, she was confident that Renfrew would not be mischievous.
Sure enough, Ms. Zeelen shook her head and said, “Renfrew’s very obedient. I’ve been in the education industry for so many years and I’ve never seen a child who’s as obedient as him. Let’s not forget that he’s the youngest in the class.”
Hearing what Ms. Zeelen had to say, Hesper felt rather proud.
