Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2679

Right after that, the parent sitting in front of Tommy piped in, “Mr. Collins, my child did well in Math too. Can he join the competition?”

Mr. Collins nodded and replied, “Of course. The training is free, but there’s a limited number of participants for each school. So, the school will organize a competition before the Mathematical Olympiad takes place to pick the students who’ll participate.”

The parent added, “My child is good at math. I’m sure he can do it. Mr. Collins, I’d like to register for my child first.”

“Sure, Mrs. Jenkins. Let me register for you,” offered Mr. Collins.

Once Mrs. Jenkins said that to Mr. Collins, other parents also came to register for their children to participate in the mathematics training program, hoping that their kids could join the competition.

Mr. Collins was surrounded by the parents at once.

"Ms. Luca, I don't want to attend the training program after school," said Tommy. All he wanted was to go home and do his homework with Lanie and Rainie after school. He wanted to watch cartoons with them as well. It was much more interesting than attending the training program after school.

“Be good. Let’s listen to what your daddy says about it first.” Luca stroked his head.

Ashley piped in, “Ms. Luca, Charlie’s parents are walking toward us.”

There was a hint of fear in the little girl’s voice. Mrs. Hudson’s behavior had frightened her yesterday.

Luca looked in the direction Ashley pointed at. They were really coming.

They were walking toward her with a smile on their faces.

Luca sensed that they did not come looking for trouble. She stared at the awkward smile on Mrs. Hudson’s face. Something came into her mind. Were they here to curry favor with her?

Probably not…

How could who was someone so arrogant yesterday try to butter her up today?

However, Charlie’s parents were truly walking toward her.

Luca met their gazes and waited for them to speak.

Mrs. Tuffey walked toward them nervously. She thought they were going to argue again. She immediately said, “Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, I’d like to talk to you about Charlie’s performance in class. Why don’t we head over there?”

Mrs. Hudson knew Mrs. Tuffey misunderstood and thought that they came looking for trouble. In fact, they came to apologize to Luca.

“Mrs. Tuffey, I’d like to have a chat with Tommy’s guardian,” Mrs. Hudson immediately said.

The expression on Mrs. Tuffey's face turned awful, and she replied, "Mrs. Hudson, we're having a parent-teacher conference now. This is the time for teachers to communicate with the parents about the students. If you have anything to tell her, can you please wait until the conference is over?"

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Tuffey. We’re not looking for trouble. We came to apologize to her today,” said Mr. Hudson. The way he looked at Luca seemed like he was trying to please her.

Luca raised her brows. She was surprised to hear that.

Mrs. Tuffey did not expect them to want to apologize to Luca. Hence, she turned to look at Mrs. Hudson.

Mrs. Hudson nodded and said, "I'm sorry. I wasn't really myself yesterday. What I did was a bad influence on the children. I made things difficult for her too. That's why I came to apologize."

“There’s no need to do so.” Luca rose to her feet and stared coldly at the couple in front of her. “You’re both figures in the business world. You should know that you’ve already missed the best chance. There’s nothing you can do about it. So, it’d be better if the two of you focus on the parent-teacher conference. There’s no need to apologize to me.”

"I'm really sorry. Please don't sue us. I promise I won't do that anymore. I'll educate my child and teach him not to cause any trouble at school." Mrs. Hudson became anxious when Luca refused to accept their apology. She could not help but utter her words quickly.
