In the evening, Ana persisted in helping Carrie with her homework in the living room, though she was very sleepy and tired.
“Mom, actually I know how to answer these homework questions.” Suddenly, Carrie looked up at Ana.
“Really? Then why do you answer these questions in a wrong way?” Ana was stunned.
“Because every time I got bad results in examinations, you would help me with my homework.”
“I haven’t been with you to do my homework for such a long time. So I just hope that you can spend some time in being with me.”
After hearing that, Ana felt so sad.
For earning money, she had not been with Carrie for a long time.
She embraced Carrie in her arms and said, “Dear, I promise, I will spend some time to play with you every week, no matter how busy I am.”
“Thanks, mom.” Carrie hugged Ana and said,”I promise I must get 100 points in the test this time.”
“I’m looking forward to that, my sweetheart.” Ana said while touching her head with love.
“Da la la la la la…”
At this time, Isabella Fox went into the villa while humming and dancing like a flower fairy. And she attracted the attentions of Ana and Carrie. Before they spoke out something, Isabella held her face in her hands and said with a fantasy about the man she loved,”You know what? I am going to be in love with someone.”
“Yes! I’m going to be in love with someone!” While humming a song, she went up to the second floor.
“Well. That’s funny!” In this case, Carrie laughed happily and kept looking at Isabella.
When Isabella reached the corner of the stairs, she spun around and pointed at Carrie with both hands, and she said with a smile, “Carrie, my sweetheart, I’m going to be in love with someone.”
“Ok, ok…” Carrie kept giggling.
“I’m going to be in love! I’m going to be in love!” Isabella stepped back as she talked, making Carrie kept giggling.
…
The next day, in Sunshine Primary School.
“Carrie, you can go to school first. I will come back to attend the parents’ meeting with you after clocking in at the company.”
“OK!” Carrie nodded in agreement and then went into the campus with her small schoolbag.
Today, the school would hold a parents’ meeting which was different from the previous.
The school usually held a parents’ meeting in classroom before. But this time, they asked parents to attend the parents’ meeting on the playground with their children. Because there would be a bigwig who had donated 10 million to the school making a speech on the stage, and he was invited by the principal with great difficulty.
What’s more, all of the parents were looking forward to the appearance of this bigwig.
Before Carrie returned to the classroom, she was blocked by a few little boys at the entrance of the corridor.
“Run! Her mother is so bad! Her mother is a bad guy!”
“Carrie, your mother smokes and looks like a vixen. She must be working in entertainment venues at night.”
“My mother asked me not to play with you, because your mother is a bad guy; if I play with you, I will also become a bad child like you.”
After hearing these words, Carrie was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly, and then she shouted at the classmates around her,”My mom is not a bad person!”
“Run!” The vixen’s daughter is angry!” A chubby boy yelled.
The children were backed quickly, as if seeing a monster. In their opinions, Carrie was a plague, so they just wanted to stay away from her. It made Carrie sad with tears in her eyes. She clenched her small fists tightly and walked towards the classroom step by step.
“You know what? Carrie’s mother always smokes and drinks. She is a vixen and she works in entertainment venues at night. She specializes in seducing men.”
“I know that. So my mom doesn’t allow me to play with Carrie.”
“Let’s stop playing with her in the future. Let’s go.”
The voices around her made her sad, like a knife stabbed at her heart.”
She wanted to say something for explanation, but she couldn’t say a word when she saw the classmates who were staying away from her. She went back to the classroom alone, and then she cried silently with her head lying on the desk.
A Rolls-Royce was driven slowly to the Sunshine Primary School, and the principal Timothy Wong personally led a team to greet the person in the car.
When Isabella got out of the car with Vincent Lawson, there was a thunderous sound around her ears, which made her shocked. Then, they entered into the school under the gaze of countless people.
This made her feel that there was a halo all over herself.
She grew up in the countryside, and when she came to City S, she was treated indifferently by other people. Now she instantly became the focus as she was together with Vincent. She would never forget this feeling in her life, and she gradually liked it.
In the office, there were someone serving Vincent and Isabella. No matter what she wanted, someone would do it as soon as she gave an order.
“Would you like to make a speech on the stage with me later?” Vincent turned to Isabella suddenly and said,”I can see that you really enjoy staying in this situation, so I think you should have a lot to talk to the children. Right?”
“Can… can I do it?”
Isabella paused in excitement. She was very excited as she thought that she could attend this event together with Vincent in front of all the teachers and students of the school and even gave a public speech.
“I would certainly be glad to stay on the stage with you if you don’t mind. This is my honor.”
“Good!” Vincent looked at her with smile, and then he drank a cup of tea without saying anything anymore.
After half an hour, the parents’ meeting began, and a group of students and their parents moved to the playground with stools together. Only Carrie looked like an alien, walking in the crowd with a small stool alone.
“Carrie, doesn’t your mother come to the parents’ meeting?” Nadia Ward asked when she came to Carrie.
“My mom will come here later.” Carrie looked up at Nadia and said.
“Alright.” Nadia shook her head slightly, with helplessness and dissatisfaction.
Obviously, she had notified Ana yesterday, but today Ana did not attend the parents’ meeting either. No wonder so many parents were picking on her.
After Nadia left, Carrie brought her stool to the school gate and squatted on the ground waiting for her mother.
As time wore on, Ana did not come yet. It made Carrie feel more and more aggrieved; especially when she thought of what the classmates said just now, she was aggrieved with tears.
Her mother did smoke, but she was not bad. In her mind, Ana was the best mother in the world.
“Carrie.” Ana was out of breath when she came to Carrie. She squatted down and said, “Sorry, baby, I am late.”
“Mom!” Carrie hugged her neck and cried out directly with grievance.
Because Carrie cried suddenly, Ana was startled. She asked Carrie with a love dearly, “My dear, don’t cry. I’m sorry, I am late.”
“Mom, could you stop smoking?” Carrie cried and said to Ana.
Ana was shocked at that time.
Ana suddenly became nervous after listening to her. She grabbed Carrie’s arms with both hands and said, “Carrie, what’s happening?”
Carrie’s face was full of tears, and she sobbed,”My classmates all say that you are a bad mother because you smoke and drink, so they don’t play with me anymore. Mom, could you please stop smoking? I want to have a good mother.”
