Ana had been thinking about the issues about her work on her way home.
She kept a bad habit of smoking, especially when she was thinking, which was formed after she was abused by Vincent.
She had tried to quit smoking. However, she would light a cigarette when the night fell.
As time passed, it became a habit.
She was cursed a wicked woman for her smoking and drinking.
However, she did not care about it. The only one she was concerned about was Carrie.
It didn’t matter what she was called as long as Carrie lived a goodlife.
In a word, she was a woman who lived for her daughter entirely.
Passing by the Sunshine Primary School, she came across Carrie’s class adviser who was walking out of the school with some parents and kids.
“Ana.”
The class adviser was named Nadia Ward, who was a young and beautiful teacher and a good teacher in many parents’ heart.
Besides, she was well-educated. It was said that she graduated from a key university. However, in order to go back home, she worked here to teach the second grade.
Seeing the class adviser and some parents, Ana put out the cigarette at once and threw it into the trash can nearby.
“Miss. Ward.” Ana came up immediately.
“Carrie has been picked up by your mother. I have planned to call you tonight. Are you free tomorrow? Do attend the parents’ meeting tomorrow.”
“Certainly, I will.” Ana smiled,”Miss. Ward, I wonder how Carrier’s performance is recently?”
Hearing it, Nadia shook her head slightly and sighed,”I do not know what have happened to Carrie. Her performance went into a nose dive. I have talked with her for a few times about it. But it did not work well. However, the kid is extremely smart. With more extra tutoring, her grades will be elevated.”
“Well, I see.”
Ana nodded with a little disappointment, but she did not blame Carrie.
She was so busy during this period that she had no time to tutor Carrie.
Besides, other parents had paid for extra classes for their kids while she couldn’t afford to.
“I am bound to tutor her when I am home. I have to go now if there is nothing else.”
“Okay, do not forget to attend the meeting. This time, not only will the president give a speech, but also a big shot who has donated ten million to build up a library and a playground will do it. You must come even for your kid’s sake.”
“No problem, I will.”
“Carrie’s mother should have smoked.”
“Wow, we don’t even know that.”
“I will not play with the cry baby Carrie again. Her mother must be a bad person for she smokes.”
A crowd of kids began to gossip after Ana left.
“Do not play with Carrie in the future. With such a mother, her performance will definitely be bad. Judging by her seductive appearance, she must work in the night entertainment venue. I will spank you if I see you play with Carrie from now on.” A beautifully-dressed mother said to her kid.
“It is said that the woman used to be the eldest daughter of the Graham family in City S. However, she was expelled from her family for giving birth to a bastard with an unknown man. Since then, she became profligate. She drinks and smokes. In a brief, she is simply a crazy woman.”
“We will not play with that cry baby.” A proud little fatty pinched his waist and said.
“Though Carrie suffers a disastrous decline in her grade, she is very obedient. She did very well in her study in the past.” Nadia explained in a hurry when she saw these parents and kid were so highly critical of Ana.
However, all could be seen from their faces was disdain and their eyes were filled with aversion.
…
After work, Vincent went back to the Lawson Clinic. He was surprised to find that his tenant, Isabella, was chatting with Pham.
“Mr. Lawson, you’re back at last.”
Vincent was pretty fond of Isabella who loved to smile. He smiled and asked,”Miss. Fox, how do you like here? Do you feel comfortable to live here?”
“Extremely good.”
“I come here to invite you to dinner together for renting such a good villa out to me.”
After saying that, Isabella was a little shy. She felt confident at ordinary times.
However, when facing Vincent, she became quite diffident and all her courage disappeared.
Probably, she, herself, fell in love with Vincent indeed.
After having a look at the bell on the wall, he found it was a little late, thus he declined,”Sorry, Miss. Fox, I have no time to go out now. If possible, we can have dinner together here.”
“Okay, I will go and buy some.” After saying that, she turned around and ran away.
After about half an hour, she came back with a bag of cooked food, ran to the backyard and placed all the food on the stone table.
After dinner, she washed the dishes and swept the floor. She really showed her virtuousness vividly and completely.
Vincent and Pham couldn’t stop nodding. In their mind, they truly thought she was a girl
with outstanding capability.
In fact, Isabella was quite lazy at home.
But she wanted to be good in front of Vincent at any time.
“Cheers!” Isabella lifted up the beer in her hand and said to Vincent and Pham.
“Cheers.” They replied to her.
All of them dried a glass of beer readily.
“Boss, Mr. Wong, the president of the Sunshine Primary School called me just now. Since you have donated ten thousand yuan, they wanted to invite you to attend the parents’ meeting tomorrow and deliver a speech. Will you go there?”
It occurred to Pham that Mr. Wong called today and asked after drinking for a while.
A parents’ meeting would be held at Carrie’s school!
He wanted to attend in the past, but there was no chance to make it. This time he would never miss the bus. He would be present at the meeting, in the name of a father. He nodded and said,”Okay, I will go and you make the arrangement.”
“Wow, Mr. Lawson has donated ten thousand to the Sunshine Primary School?” Isabella asked with astonishment.
“Yes.” Vincent nodded slightly.
“Can I go with you tomorrow? I just want to appreciate you when you speak on the stage.” Isabella put her hands to her chin and lost herself in the imagination,”You must be extremely handsome. A donation of ten thousand yuan…. I bet you will look extremely handsome!”
“Hahaha.”
Vincent and Pham exchanged a look and burst into laughter.
“Well, if you want, you can come.”
Vincent nodded and agreed.
