It was rush hour now. The playground was under the teaching building No. 5. Students came and went, so many people were looking at them.
Layton was quite famous in the school because he looked handsome. Several times when Nicole came to the school, she heard a girl point at her behind her back and say, "Look, this is the sister of the campus hunk." What's more, Layton didn't like studying, so he was often late for classes and skipped classes and was often criticized by teachers publically. Almost all the people in the school knew him. Now his family of five met on the playground, which was particularly eye-catching.
At that time, Nicole didn't want to meet the mistress and the daughter of the mistress at all, because every time she saw them, her mood was very complicated. People always wanted to escape and hide their emotions when facing the emotions they were not good at. In the past 8 years, Nicole almost didn't contact with them, but unexpectedly, they still came to her.
Howard stepped forward and said, "Nicole, Layton, let's have a talk, okay?
Nicole glanced at them, coldly looked at Howard, and then looked at the mistress and the daughter of the mistress.
Howard showed a guilty look. The mistress and the daughter of the mistress were very calm. Lena was as cold as ever, while Primrose lowered her head and did not look at Nicole.
Howard continued, "Dad has been looking for you these days, but you never see me. I've been inquiring about Layton's school, but I didn't expect you to transfer him here. Nicole, don't blame Layton. It's not his fault. A good student cannot be taught in such a school. It's better for Dad to find some connections to transfer him out."
Nicole opened her mouth and smiled, "Why should we use your connections?"
"I'm your Dad. I want to do something for you!" Howard stepped forward and said bitterly.
At that moment, Nicole reached out her hand and blocked Layton behind her. Her hand was like an invisible gap, blocking their father-daughter relationship.
Nicole thought it was ridiculous. 8 years ago, when Nicole's mother jumped off a building and was sent to the hospital, Howard left with his mistress without even looking at Nicole and her mother. After her mother's funeral, Nicole went to Howard but he said that he was going to marry the mistress, letting Layton and her live with our grandma. Just because of this sentence, Nicole braced herself and lived a hard life and endured for 8 years. Even if she encountered any difficulties, even if she was going to starve to death, she would never come to Howard, and Howard was no longer their father.
'Now that we are living a good life, why should Howard look for her back? He even hypocritically said that he was our father and want to do something for us!'
Thinking of this, Nicole said in hatred. "You'd better disappear in front of me. Don't force me to expose your scandal in public!"
Howard was shocked and even Lena looked up at Nicole.
Lena's expression was very complicated. She suddenly pulled away Howard and stepped forward. Her expression was very calm, but obviously showed a trace of weakness. "Let's talk, Nicole. As for what happened in the past, what happened now, what happened between your mother and me, and what happened between you and my daughter, I think we should have a result."
Layton frowned and asked, "Nicole, what's wrong?"
Nicole looked at Lena. This woman was well maintained and flawless in the distance, but obviously a little old at a close distance.
When Nicole first met Lena, Nicole thought Lena was very beautiful. Although Lena was nearly 40 years old, she was incomparably beautiful. Nicole's social circle was not narrow. Even at a young age, Nicole had seen a lot of debutantes, but Nicole still thought Lena was very outstanding. At least, no woman Nicole had ever seen could compare with Lena.
Now Nicole looked at Lena again. Although Lena was still a beauty, her temples were dyed white, and even if she was applied with dye, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were still revealed under her delicate makeup.
With Lena's slightly haggard expression, Nicole couldn't help but guess what had happened to the mistress in the past few years, and why Lena had come to her with Howard.
"Let's talk!" Lena was still very calm and pleaded. Even Primrose looked up at Nicole, with a faint sadness and a little begging in her watery eyes.
Nicole really felt that something was wrong with these people. Out of curiosity, Nicole also wanted to know how Lena solve the grudge between the two generations with her, so she acquiesced.
Nicole said to Layton, "Layton, go to the dining room first. I have something to deal with, so I won't be with you."
Hearing this, Layton knew Nicole didn't want to get him involved, so he asked, "Why? Nicole, Dad comes to me today, I should know what you are talking about."
Nicole narrowed her eyes and stared at him. "It's none of your business. I'll tell you everything in the future. Now, go to the dining room to have dinner!"
