Ashley looked around and found that most parents were watching their children or checking their
surroundings.
'No one will pay attention to two insignificant strangers, ' she told herself.
With this thought, she gazed at Andrew's handsome face and gave him a kiss.
Her face blushed a vivid crimson. Obviously, she was embarrassed to do that in public.
But Ashley felt that she had the guts to things like that now.
She had just kissed Andrew in public!
Quickly, she buried her face in her palms.
That kiss worked. Andrew just stood outside in the corridor. He pursed his lips without saying a word.
Only Andrew himself knew that he was lost in the aftertaste.
As for the content of the aftertaste, only Andrew knew.
"Will you come along with us or stay with your dad?"
Ashley asked Fabio.
"I want to go with you, Mommy."
Of course he would choose to go with his mommy.
"All right."
Ashley then took Richard's and Fabio's hands and walked to the fifth grade head teacher's office.
She easily found the head teacher of each grade since their names were displayed on their desks.
The fifth grade head teacher was still young, about 27 or 28 years old. Seated in his chair with a pair of
glasses, he looked quite respectable and elegant.
Ashley glanced at the teacher whose full name was Joffrey Lin.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Ashley Lu. I talked to you over the phone. This is my son, Richard. I'm here to sign
him up."
Joffrey raised his head and saw Ashley's smiling face. His was dazzled by her smile.
He had met all kinds of parents, but Ashley was, by far, the most gentle and most beautiful one.
Realizing what he was mulling in his mind, Joffrey felt a little embarrassed.
Casting away his frivolous thoughts, he stood up and greeted Ashley politely. "Nice to meet you, Mrs.
Lu."
He then looked at Richard and smiled. "I'm guessing this is Richard, correct? Such a lovely boy," he
said.
"Thank you," Ashley replied.
"Richard, this is Mr. Lin. He's going to be your head teacher."
Richard bowed and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Lin. Nice to meet you."
"Hello."
It was Ashley's first time to take a kid to sign up.
She had so many questions for Joffrey.
"Well, the procedure is very simple. You just pay the tuition fee and go to the assigned classroom to get
his textbooks. Classes will start tomorrow," Joffrey explained. He then asked, "May I have a quick chat
with Richard later?"
"Sure, no problem," Ashley answered.
"Thank you."
Seeing that Ashley brought Richard here by herself, Joffrey was a little confused and asked, "Where is
Richard's father?"
"Oh, he's not feeling well. He's waiting for us outside," Ashley explained.
"Hmm," Joffrey gave a nod and replied.
Ashley planned to take Fabio to kindergarten school today as well. However, Richard still needed to
stay and wait for his textbooks to become available. Also, Joffrey wanted to have some time to talk to
him. Ashley was afraid she would not make it to Fabio's kindergarten school.
In a moment, her face stiffened.
Just then, Joffrey raised his head and saw the anxiety on Ashley's face. "Is there anything wrong?" he
asked.
"Oh, nothing. It's just that I need to drive my little son to kindergarten school today as well," Ashley
replied.
Joffrey's eyes moved to Richard and then to Fabio. He immediately understood the predicament Ashley
was in.
"You know what, you can go take your son to kindergarten now. I can receive Richard's textbooks on
his behalf. I'll give them to him when he comes in tomorrow. If you still have something to deal with, it's
okay for you to go."
"But didn't you say you wanted to have a little chat with Richard?" Ashley asked.
"Don't worry. It's just some words of little importance. I can talk to him about it tomorrow."
"Oh, that's great. Thank you so much for understanding. We're leaving now."
"All right."
"Goodbye, Mr. Lin."
Richard bid farewell to his teacher.
"Bye."
Joffrey watched as Ashley walked out of the office. He also saw a tall man standing outside for Ashley.
He looked aggressive and dangerous.
Joffrey withdrew his eyes and shook his head. She already had a husband and two children. What was
he thinking?
Ashley walked out of the office and was about to say hello to Andrew.
However, she saw a woman walking towards Andrew who was in her twenties and wearing a pink
dress and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. Her hair was dyed blonde, wavy, and hanging loosely past
her shoulders.
Ashley had never seen the woman before, but she looked very sexy and attractive even from afar.
Ashley arched her eyebrows and walked slowly to Andrew, their two kids in tow.
"Hello, sir. Are you a new teacher here?"
The woman flipped her hair and flashed Andrew a flirty smile, which she thought was most charming.
Ashley stared at Andrew and kept walking toward him.
The woman's voice was as soft as water.
Taking a brief glance at the woman, Andrew stepped back with no expression on his face.
The woman's eyes lit up at his indifference, which she thought as a sign of coldness and indifference.
'His love must be overbearing if he falls in love with someone, ' she thought.
Competitiveness filled the woman's heart. She was determined to win Andrew over.
The woman had been watching Andrew for a long time. Seeing that he was alone and standing by the
door of the office, she thought he was a new teacher.
After all, what Andrew was wearing did not exactly look like that of someone's father.
Although Andrew did not say a word to her, she was not discouraged. Men like him always had a
temper.
Not every woman could get close to men like him. The woman found it a good thing. At least it could
mean that Andrew did not have a girlfriend.
"I'm a Chinese teacher in this school for first-grade students. How about you?" Her voice was soft
enough to melt a man's heart.
Andrew noticed someone behind her and his expression suddenly became very gentle.
The woman was stunned to see the change in Andrew's facial expression but did not snap back to her
senses.
