Nana Came Back
Later that afternoon, the school bus came to a halt in front of the kindergarten.
Hand in hand, Aileen and Adrian skipped out of the bus like two bunnies.
The twins were as picturesque as two porcelain dolls, attracting the attention of many parents in the
area.
"Kimora!"
Before Aileen could run away, Adrian grabbed her hand firmly.He dragged her towards Kimora and
greeted her politely.
Nana was elated to see the twin cities.She jumped out from behind a pillar and stretched out her arms
wide to receive them.
"Surprise! Adrian, Aileen, come and hug me!"
"Nana!"
Aileen’s round, doe-like eyes instantly lit up and she pounced into Nana’s arms like a cannon ball.
Chuckling, Nana caught Aileen and spun around and around excitedly until she felt a little dizzy.
Planting many kisses on Aileen’s face, she cried, "I missed you so much!"
Aileen giggled, tickled by Nana’s kisses.
Then, Nana put down Aileen and turned to hug Adrian, but the child stubbornly refused her.
The boy turned his face away and muttered, "Don’t be childish…"
But before he could finish his sentence, Nana’s hand flew to his mouth and she narrowed her eyes at
him playfully.
"Don’t be so indifferent!"
She was so fond of the twins.
How could she just accept rejection from Adrian? Adrian rolled his eyes, but eventually relented and
walked to her with his arms out.
Nana chuckled and hugged him.
With both twins in her arms, she gushed happily, "It’s been so long, you two! Have you made any new
friends?"
"Yes!"
Aileen immediately poked her head out and started squirming.She pointed to the other side of the
kindergarten and shouted, "Over there! That’s my friend, Silas!"
"Oh, wow! Is that your boyfriend, Aileen?"
Nana teased, poking the little girl’s butterball belly playfully.
Adrian, on the other hand, was having none of it.
In a cold voice, he said, "I’ll tell Mommy that you made fun of Aileen."
Amused, Nana coughed lightheartedly and rubbed his nose.
"You’re a wise one, aren’t you?"
She looked down at his fierce expression and wondered why Adrian acted so maturely.
Couldn’t he act his age?
"Hey, Adrian, Aileen."
Silas approached the twins, all the while looking at Nana curiously.
When she saw him, Nana’s eyes lit up.
The little boy was dressed so smartly in a suit that seemed tailor fit for him.He had an adorable face,
but his expression was far from childish.He looked much calmer and more reserved than his peers.His
temperament was comparable to that of Adrian.
Birds of a feather flocked together, Nana supposed.
Aileen wriggled out of Nana’s arms and leaped to introduce the two of them excitedly.
"It’s nice to meet you, Nana," Silas greeted her with a polite smile.
Nana couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
What a sensible little boy! Delighted, she dug her hand into her pocket, fished out a handful of candies,
and put them onto Silas’s small palm.
The sweet candies wrapped in brightly colored wrappers were a stark contrast to Silas’s suit, which
made him look particularly lively.
Silas looked at the candies in his hand hesitantly.
Ever since Aileen asked him to have a taste of candy, things had started to spiral.
In just a month, he gained two cavities and was criticized harshly by Maurice.
Since then, he had never even touched candy… "Hey, those are good candies.They’re Aileen’s
favorite!"
Nana smiled at him warmly when she saw that he didn’t seem to want to eat the candy.
Aileen also jumped around him in circles expectantly.
"Yes! They’re my favorite! Eat them, Silas!" Silas gulped nervously.
"Uhm, but,"
"Here.I’ll unwrap them for you."
Nana skillfully peeled the candy wrapper off one of the candy and held it in front of Silas’s little mouth.
After wrestling within his heart for a second, Silas relented and opened his mouth wide.
However, out of the blue, the candy was slapped out of Nana’s hand and it rolled on the ground.
"What the hell do you think you’re doing?" Corbin quickly pulled Silas behind him and looked at the
woman warily.
"How could you feed another person’s child?" Nana looked up at him in surprise.
"I’m sorry.I didn’t mean that,"
"She was just giving me candy." Silas tugged at Corbin’s sleeve and defended Nana hurriedly.
"You can’t eat candy from strangers!"
Corbin looked at Nana as though she was some kind of predator.
This time, Nana frowned.
"Hey, don’t you know it’s rude to talk like that?"
How could he call her a stranger? Aileen had just introduced Silas and her to each other…
"Yeah! You’re being rude!"
Aileen stuck out her tongue at Corbin while hugging Nana’s leg tightly.
Only then did Corbin notice that the twins were also there.He quickly came to his senses and looked at
Nana, bewildered.
