The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 113

Early the following day, Paisley officially sent Serena to her new kindergarten. At the school gate, the scene of reluctant goodbyes played out once again.

"Rena, be a good girl. Listen to what Ms. Johnson tells you, and if you feel unwell, tell her right away. Don't keep it to yourself." Paisley repeated, tirelessly reminding her daughter.

"Okay, I'll remember that, Mommy." Serena also dutifully responded, repeating her promises.

"And get along well with the other kids. Don't bully anyone, and don't let anyone bully you, okay? If someone does, tell me immediately." Paisley couldn't bear to have the same issues from the last kindergarten repeat.

"Okay, Mom, I really understand," Serena said again.

"Don't worry, Ms. Sutton. I'll take good care of her," Sophia smiled reassuringly.

"Thank you, Ms. Johnson." Paisley handed Serena over to Sophia and, reluctantly, watched her daughter be carried into the classroom by Sophia. As she turned to leave, she ran into two other mothers who were also dropping off their children.

Although Paisley didn't know them well, she nodded politely at the two slightly aloof-looking parents—it was what parents did when their kids went to the same kindergarten.

"Hello." Paisley greeted politely, but without waiting for a response, she simply walked out of the kindergarten.

Millie's mother, Vivian, turned to look at Paisley's retreating figure as she frowned, "Is that the new kid's mom?"

Another parent, also watching, nodded. "She seems unfamiliar, so it must be her."

"She's decent-looking, but her clothes are so plain. And she has no makeup up on. She really doesn't care about her image at all." Vivian, on the other hand, was impeccably done up, her diamond-studded nails catching the light.

"She looks like a stay-at-home mom struggling with life. Her husband is probably a nobody who's not earning much," the other parent added, agreeing with Vivian. Though, truth be told, she didn't completely buy her own words. In fact, she did think Paisley was naturally beautiful, even without makeup.

Still, there was little choice for her. Vivian was the president of the parents' committee, and if she wanted her daughter to fit in, she had to follow along with Vivian's opinions.

Vivian, however, was unbothered. "I bet she doesn't have a husband. Yesterday, when I asked about her job, she was hesitant and sent me a question mark. Eventually, she said she's a freelancer."

Vivian sneered, "Freelancer? That's just a fancy way of saying she doesn't have a stable job. And if she had a husband, why didn't she mention him yesterday?"

Vivian had also asked about Serena's father in the group chat yesterday, but Paisley only mentioned her job as a freelancer and sidestepped anything about her partner.

Realization struck another parent and she immediately laughed, complimenting, "Mrs. Morgan, you always see through to the heart of the matter."

Vivian basked in the praise from the other parents and, with a patronizing tone, said to that parent, "At the end of the month, I'll throw Millie a grand birthday party. You and Elara should come too."

"Of course," Elara's mother, Isabella, smiled awkwardly, already thinking about what gift to buy for Millie.
