His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 134

To make moving around easier, Virginia had specifically chosen a pink tracksuit. Standing next to Cindy, they looked incredibly matched and eye-catching. She had barely set down the pen after signing in when several kids ran over and surrounded her. "Cindy, your mommy is so pretty!" "She looks like a fairy from the TV..." "Yeah, yeah! Much prettier than Toby's mommy!" "Of course! My mommy is the prettiest mommy in the whole world!" Cindy rushed over and hugged Virginia's leg, her big, dark eyes brimming with pride. With a gentle smile, Virginia bent down to pat their little heads, thanking them and greeting them warmly. On the other side of the playground. Archer was holding Toby, with Chloe sticking close to his side. He was a natural clotheshorse—even in a dark blue tracksuit, he looked sharp and outstanding. Coupled with his perpetual icy demeanor, he drew constant glances from other parents just standing there. In contrast, Chloe had dressed to show off among the parents, wearing an LV dress, stiletto heels, and full, exquisite makeup. She clung to Archer's arm the entire time, maintaining a gentle, sweet smile for the public eye. At first glance, they looked like the perfect, loving family of three. Chloe was initially basking in the envious looks and praises from the kids and their families. But when she caught sight of Virginia surrounded by children in the distance, her smile froze. Quickly recovering, she put her smile back on and glanced casually toward Cindy's direction. Her voice was soft. "Virginia's outfit really turns heads today. It's a shame Cindy doesn't have a dad. How are they going to participate in the family games?" Archer frowned slightly, his gaze darkening as he looked toward Virginia. Several nearby kids blinked their large eyes and looked at Virginia and Cindy. Then, out of nowhere, a child shouted at the top of their lungs, "Cindy, where's your daddy? Do you really not have a daddy?" The child's voice was loud and crisp. Though the pronunciation was a bit clumsy, everyone around understood perfectly. All eyes immediately shifted to Virginia and Cindy. Cindy froze, a layer of mist instantly welling up in her big, dark eyes. But she didn't cry. Instead, she subconsciously gripped Virginia's clothes tighter. Watching this, the large hand supporting Toby slowly tightened. Archer's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward to intervene. A flash of jealousy crossed Chloe's eyes. She almost instantly grabbed his sleeve and whispered a reminder, "Archer, today is the family sports day. Toby and I need you more." With that, she forced a sweet smile, shaking his arm. "Toby just said he wants us to take him over there to look around..." He stopped in his tracks, a hint of conflict flashing in his eyes. Right at that moment, a slight commotion rippled near the kindergarten entrance. A young man in a light gray tracksuit walked in. He stood tall, wearing rimless glasses. In his left hand, he held a massive bouquet of champagne roses, and in his right, two oversized gift bags featuring cartoon prints. The man walked straight through the crowd, stopping in front of Virginia and Cindy. Smiling, he handed the roses to Virginia, then pulled a limited-edition plush bunny from one of the bags and handed it to Cindy.
