Okay, I promise you.”
Nathaniel had never sounded more determined.
Christina did not want to mention anything about Madison to him, nor did she want to bother herself with the two of them.
Being able to provide a warm home for the kids was enough.
Since a long time ago, she had already felt like a stranger in this marriage.
After lunch, the two kids fell asleep on the way home.
Looking at how peaceful the kids were when they were sleeping, Christina felt that everything she had done was worth it.
On Monday morning. Nathaniel took Lucas and Camila to the kindergarten.
Camila’s hair was tied into two small braids. She asked with a smile, “Daddy, will you come to pick us up after class today?”
“If you want me to, I will.”
Lucas exclaimed with joy, “Of course we want you to come!”
A faint smile formed on Nathaniel’s lips. “If you want me to come, I’ll be here. I’ll even be the first one to pick you up, okay?”
Lucas and Camila were so excited that they were jumping up and down.
“Okay! You’re the best, Daddy. Remember to be the first to arrive!”
For some reason, every child believed that having their parents be the first ones to fetch them home was something to be very proud of.
“All right, go in now.” Nathaniel kissed their foreheads.
“Bye, Daddy!” said the two cute kids in unison.
Lucas held his sister’s hand and walked into the kindergarten. Nathaniel flashed a small smile as he looked at their adorable backs.
The scene was like a heartwarming painting that moved him greatly.
Lucas and Camila entered the classroom.
The teacher brought in a little boy, who had a handsome face and was dressed neatly.
“Hello, everyone. We have a new classmate in our class today. His name is Norman. Let’s welcome him together!”
All the students turned their gaze toward the little boy who was standing on the stage and smiling toothily.
Lucas and Camila recognized the little boy as the child of the mean lady from yesterday.
Lucas, why is this rude little boy in the same class as us?” Camila asked in confusion.
Recalling what the mean lady had said to him at the office yesterday, Lucas instantly shot a disdainful look at the boy. “Let’s ignore him. We shall not play with him”
He did not want to play with someone who had stolen his father from him.
After he greeted his classmates, the teacher asked Norman to find a seat by himself.
As there were no fixed seats in kindergarten, the children could sit wherever they wanted.
Norman deliberately walked to Lucas’ side and declared in an arrogant tone, “I want to sit here.
“This is my brother’s seat. You can sit somewhere else,” said Camila with a disdainful look in her eyes.
“The teacher said we can sit anywhere, so I want to sit here. Otherwise, I won’t leave!” Norman sat on Lucas’ small chair, forcibly pushing him aside.
Camila, who was normally quiet, could not help but extend her arms out and shove Norman. “You’re not allowed to bully my brother!”
Norman ran to the teacher and used his cuteness to win her over. Due to his fair skin and delicate features, the teacher immediately took a liking to him.
The teacher brought out an extra chair. “Lucas, Norman says that he wants to sit with you. Since you’re the little leader of the class, please take care of your new classmate.”
