Francine was worried that Jason would steal Corinne away while Jeremy was not there. ‘It’s
a good thing she’s letting Jason tag along because she doesn’t want to waste her time on
him, and not because she has feelings for him.’
…
The driver stopped in a spot not far from the entrance of Astoria Kindergarten. It was after-
school hours, so all the parents were lining up to pick up their kids.
Astoria Kindergarten was New Capital City’s most high-end kindergarten. They had a strict
rule of only allowing one parent to pick up their kids to ensure the kids’ safety. This was
also to prevent too much chaos that would distract the teachers’ attention.
Francine got down from the car and said, “Corinne, I’ll pick the kids up. You just wait in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcar.”
“Okay, thanks,” said Corinne, letting her go. However, she did not wait in the car. Instead,
she got down and observed the kindergarten’s entrance from where she stood.
An old man was selling balloons near the kindergarten entrance. Thinking that the kids
would like the balloons, she walked over to the old man, and after asking the price,
decided to buy three balloons—one for each kid.
However, she did not choose the balloons after paying. There were simply too many
designs that she decided to let the kids choose the ones they liked after they came out.
Jason had followed her down to buy the balloons. He smiled at her as usual.
The attractive couple immediately caught the attention of all the parents lining up to pick
up their kids. This obviously caused some discomfort to Corinne, but Jason was really
enjoying the attention.
“Corinne, I bet they think we’re a pair of parents who came to pick up their kids.”
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Well, then. Why aren’t you standing further away from
me?”
Jason shrugged. “Why should I do that? What they think is their problem. We’re not doing
anything wrong!”
Corinne glanced at him with annoyance before moving away from him. She then checked
to see where Francine was in the line.
At that moment, a black SUV stopped in front of her, blocking her line of sight.
Corinne frowned unhappily and was about to tell the driver off when a woman carrying a
kid wearing a cartoon mask got out of the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor some reason, the kid was crying loudly, and the woman was trying to coax him out of
it. “There, there, Benjamin. Mommy will buy you a balloon if you stop crying. Look at the
pretty balloons! Which one do you like?”
Corinne found the woman’s voice very familiar, so she took a closer look at her. Her
expression froze once she did that.
The woman was so focused on coaxing her kid that she did not notice Corinne was
standing not far away from her. However, she immediately turned to face her when she
sensed somebody was staring at her intently.
The two women looked at each other with different expressions on their faces.
After a while, the woman greeted her. “Corinne, it’s been a while! What a coincidence it is
to bump into you here when I just got back to the city. This must be fate or something.”
Corinne looked at Sophia and then at her kid. Forgoing the usual pleasantries, she instead
asked skeptically, “This your kid?”
