Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Naturally, all the kids looked in Dany's direction. All of a sudden, the attention of the entire room was

completely on her.

Dany was wearing a light pink tutu skirt paired with pink leather shoes. Her hair was braided into two

low pigtails that trailed along her back.

There was a serious look on her delicate face as she looked at the teacher. However, despite this,

cuteness still showed on her face. The contrast between her humorless face and her cuteness looked

quite funny.

"Well, Dany...

How about introducing yourself to your classmates?"

the teacher suggested.

"My name is Dany Mo."

Her introduction was even simpler than Fabio's.

"She is so pretty!"

"Yeah, she is even more beautiful than Betty!"

The other kids started to murmur among themselves about Dany's appearance.

Hearing that, Betty took a quick, sidelong glance at Dany and lowered her head silently as she saw her.

'Indeed she's more beautiful than I am, ' Betty ruminated.

Since only one seat was left inside the classroom, Dany had no other choice but to sit next to Bolton.

Meanwhile, Fabio's eyes lit up as he carefully observed Dany. It was easy to see that she was different

from the other kids around him.

After her short introduction, the teacher went ahead with the lesson. When the class was over, the kids

went out to play again as usual.

Kids were naturally easy to get along with. Just a while earlier, they had been talking about how cold

Bolton was. Now they were all playing together outside, as if nothing had happened. There were,

however, two kids who did not go out and play with the others.

Dany and Fabio were not too keen about it.

Fabio propped his head up with hand, his cheek lightly smushed against his palm. He cast a casual

glance out the window, watching the other kids play. Pursing his lips, he couldn't help but feel tired of

playing games like his classmates were doing.

It was quiet in the classroom. Dany looked over to Fabio and quickly lowered her head after. She knew

this boy.

She had seen him and his family when she was on the plane last time. She could even remember his

gentle-looking mother.

With a sigh, she twiddled her fingers on top of her desk, lost in thought. 'Where could my mommy be?'

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop thinking about Ashley.

Pursing her lips, she gingerly looked up at Fabio again.

"Who's picking you up today?" she asked all of a sudden.

Surprised, Fabio raised his head and looked at Dany. "It would probably be my great-grandpa."

"Why not your mommy?" Dany made a detailed inquiry.

Hearing this, Fabio's face lit up. "It's also possible that she might pick me up. I don't really know. But I'm

sure she'll come get me if she finishes her work early.

Why this question?"

"Nothing."

Dany averted her gaze. She couldn't tell Fabio that she liked his mommy.

'I wish I had a mommy like Fabio's, ' she thought to herself glumly.

Or maybe Daddy could work hard to make his mommy, my mommy.' This was the first time that Dany

wanted an adult woman so much.

There was nothing she wanted more than for Ashley to become her own mother.

Meanwhile, Fabio thought that Dany could possibly be his good friend since they were both a lot more

mature than all the other kids. Later that day, ever since Fabio scared Bolton, the larger kid had been

following the new kid around.

It was as if Bolton was treating Fabio as his boss.

Time elapsed quickly.

Pretty soon, it was time for them to go home.

Parents had already crowded outside the school, eager to come pick their children up. Some of them

had their maids or nannies come pick them up, especially when their parents were not available.

Fabio looked around, wondering who would be coming to pick him up on the first day at school.

'Maybe great-grandpa will be the one to pick me up after all, ' he thought to himself. 'I'm sure daddy

and mommy are still busy at work.'

At that moment, he heard the teacher's gentle voice behind him.

"Fabio! Your mother is coming to pick you up." Hearing the teacher's words, Fabio looked up with

surprise and found Ashley standing in front of him with a beaming smile on her face.

It was such a pleasant and unexpected surprise for Ashley to come pick up Fabio from school herself.

In fact, if possible, she wanted to be the one to pick up Fabio and Richard from school every day.

After all, they were her children, and Ashley wanted to do it personally.

Ashley finished her work at the company as quickly as she could, and immediately went to pick up the

two boys.

"Mommy!"

With a beaming smile, Fabio stood up and rushed towards Ashley, his arms wide open.

"Hello, sweetie."

Ashley opened her arms and caught Fabio's embrace.

"Have you been a good boy on your first day?" she asked as she dotingly stroked his hair.

"How are you getting along with other kids?"

"It was okay! I think I was obedient today, Mommy!" Fabio replied with a nod.

"Good boy."

Bending down, Ashley hugged him and kissed his cheek.

Fabio kissed Ashley back on the cheek.

"Mommy, I missed you so much. But why did you come to pick me up today? Don't you have work?"

"Well, of course I'll come pick you up!" she answered. "Today's your first day in kindergarten."

"Okay!

Let's go now, Mommy!" Fabio chirped.

Ashley chuckled and nodded in response.

Just when they were about to leave, Ashley saw someone looking at her from the corner of her eye.

Confused, Ashley looked up and saw a girl in a pink princess dress staring at her.

The girl was just about the same age as Fabio.

She was staring straight into Ashley with her big, unblinking eyes.

Dany didn't expect to see Ashley today. Looking at the loving interaction between Ashley and Fabio,

jealousy brewed up in her heart.

It was easy to see how happy Fabio looked beside his mother.

When Ashley's eyes met hers, Dany quickly withdrew her gaze, feeling utterly flustered.

"Hey," Ashley nudged at Fabio with a smile. "Is that girl your classmate?"

Following his mother's gaze, Fabio nodded.

"Yup. Her name's Dany Mo. I like her. She has such a pleasant looking face."

"Have you fallen in love at such a young age, little man?" Ashley teased. "But she is indeed beautiful."

"No," Fabio answered with a frown, "I just have a feeling that I'm going to get along with her."

Ashley glanced back to look at the girl again, but when she did, she was already gone.

Looking around, Dany was no longer in sight.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

Fabio asked Ashley confusedly.

"Oh, it's nothing," Ashley brushed off with a smile, "Come on. Let's go home." With this, Fabio jumped

off Ashley and walked beside her, hand in hand.
