Nolan's eyes had sparkled with excitement, but as he listened to her words, the light in them slowly dimmed.
Zoey didn't linger any longer; she headed straight for the small classroom.
Meanwhile, in the principal's office, Fitch held his son tight and gently rubbed the top of his head.
"Does it hurt much?"
"Daddy, no, it doesn't hurt."
"Silly boy, he pushed you on purpose."
It wasn't a question; it was a statement.
Nolan didn't reply, just slowly bowed his head.
Fitch had seen the details on the surveillance video and had read the lips of the child who had pushed his son, whispering three words in Nolan's ear: "Freak show."
It was clearly a deliberate push.
It was Nolan's first day in class, and he was already very popular among the other kids.
Fitch himself was skilled in lip-reading and knew exactly what the child had said just by watching the surveillance footage.
Affection among children is pure, as is their jealousy. Before the shove, the kid probably hadn't thought it would lead to Nolan getting hurt.
But now, Nolan wanted to be liked by Zoey, so he swallowed his hurt in silence.
However, Fitch couldn't stand to see his son mistreated.
Nolan had been in his care for four years and had never suffered such an indignity. Especially not at the hands of Zoey.
Fitch looked at the principal, who was sweating bullets.
If it was a deliberate push, the consequences would be serious.
"Mr. Haskins, we will give you an explanation for this," the principal said.
Barely had he finished speaking when Nolan grabbed Fitch's wrist.
"Daddy, let's... let it go."
He didn't want to be disliked by Mommy.
Besides, he had promised her that he would make friends with everyone.
Fitch instantly understood.
"You promised Zoey?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
