Ronan finally understood by the words of these two children that Kingsley must had scolded Nylah and Amirah as illegitimate children. It was not a good time to discuss the question of whether they had a daddy. He picked up Kingsley on the ground, and slapped Kingsley’s small buttocks, “Tell me, do you dare to scold others again?”
That roar made both Nylah and Amirah, who were walking to the door, turn around at the same time… Could it be that the bad uncle was not bad?
“Boohoo, I want mommy, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to come to attend parent’s meeting.”
Kingsley cried out louder.
Halle walked out with two kids. The sun was shining brightly, but her mind was in chaos. Ronan had seen Nylah and Amirah, although he didn’t know they were his daughters, she was just afraid that he would take Nylah and Amirah away from her if he knew. She was worried at the thought.
“Mommy, Godfather will be here soon, right? Call and ask him when he’ll be here.”
“Well…”
Halle was stunned, she had promised to Nylah and Amirah that she would let Jaiden come to the parent’s meeting, but she forgot to inform Jaiden, thinking for a while, Halle said,
“Nylah, Amirah, Godfather is busy with business, so he can’t come here today. It’s the OK, mommy is here.”
Nylah pouted, “Mommy you’re lying.”
Amirah was immediately anxious as well, “Mommy, we’ve told others that our daddy will definitely come today, otherwise, we’ll really be … be… be illegitimate children’.”
What were they saying, it was such a mess, “Nylah, Amirah, no more nonsense, you have Dad.”
“who’s our daddy? Mummy, tell us.”
Their four little hands shook both of Halle’s arms together, as if they had to let her tell them.
“He’s out of the country and will be back soon.”
“Mommy you’re lying, Catherine’s daddy is abroad too, but her daddy calls her every week, what about our daddy?
He hasn’t called me or Amirah since I was born.”
The children had grown up, it was so hard to lie to them, frowning, Halle had to take out her parental authority, “If you don’t be obedient, Mommy will abandon you.”
Nylah and Amirah looked at each other, then shook Halle’s arm off tacitly, running to the conveying room together, directly ignoring Halle.
Looking at their backs, Halle was very unpleasant, shaking her head and walking to a wooden chair to sat down. She looked at the front of the conveying room door. There was no problem as long as they didn’t run far away, perhaps, they will be fine after they straightened out their thinking and cooled down. It was same as every time when talking about this issue of daddy since childhood.
She could give them everything, except a daddy.
She signed, twisting a blade of grass to pass time. She thought that everything would be fine after ten minutes, but Nylah and Amirah were still in the communication room with no intention of coming out at all.
Halle was a little worried, she hurriedly stood up and walked towards the communication room, the kindergarten door was opened when she reached the door, Halle subconsciously looked up, meeting Jaiden’s gaze properly, “Halle, I’m here, where are the children?”
“Jaiden …”
She froze, it must the two children who had called Jaiden, but a shadow behind her appeared on the ground in front of her when she wanted to speak, and Ronan said in an unnatural voice,
“Halle, I’m sorry about Kingsley, I’ll teach him, however…”
then he turned to Jaiden.
“Mr. Jaiden, you should spend more time with Nylah and Amirah, so that there’s less gossip.”
After saying that, he turned around and left in stride.
Halle was stunned, she never thought to get Jaiden involved like this, but at this moment, it was impossible to regain Ronan’s good feelings for Jaiden.
“Daddy, you’re here, come on, the old grandpa in the communication room said the open class starts in ten minutes, Daddy, let’s go in.”
Nylah and Amirah jumped and ran out of the conveyance room, holding Jaiden’s hand and pulling him towards the classroom.
“Nylah, Amirah, you …”
Halle had nothing to say.
“Mommy, we’re not illegitimate children, we have daddy, and Godfather is our daddy.”
Amirah said rightfully, that look made Halle grieved.
Halle hesitated for a moment, and Jaiden said to her,
“Halle, let’s go, Nylah said you promised them to let me come, so I came over after answering the call. It’s lucky I was nearby, otherwise, I really wouldn’t arrive here so fast.”
“Oh.”
Being pulled by the children, she really had no other choice, anyway, Ronan had believed that Jaiden was Nylah and Amirah’s daddy, so just let nature took its course and let herself be in peace. In this way, she didn’t have to worry that Ronan would take Nylah and Amirah away from her.
When they entered the classroom again, the children and parents had almost all sat down, Kingsley was sitting at the front and was still sobbing, apparently, he had been admonished seriously by Ronan, who was sitting in the parent’s seat. Nylah and Amirah held up their heads, happily walked to their seats and sat down. The children started whispering, looking at Jaiden as they spoke, and really thought of him as Nylah and Amirah’s daddy.
“He’s handsome.”
“They don’t look alike, is he a fake father?”
“It’s normal, because Nylah and Amirah look like her Mommy.”
The children’s low voice reached Ronan’s ears, making him frown slightly, then dropped his gaze on Halle, forget it, he was too nosy, just suddenly remembering how well she was to Grandpa, and he didn’t know the reason that her face always flashed in front of his eyes inadvertently after meeting again, just because it was too similar, he couldn’t indulge in that face anymore.
Shaking his head, he withdraw his gaze to fall on the kindergarten teacher who was walking in and ready to start the class.
Halle and Jaiden walked together towards the seats of the parents. There was no way to choose a seat because they came late, and coincidentally, the two seats left were next to Ronan. Halle hesitated for a while, and the bell of class rang at the moment, leaving her with no other choice.
When she was about to take a step, Jaiden walked over her and sat directly next to Ronan, making Halle have to sit next to Jaiden.
Classes began. Halle’s heart was in apprehension, as if the breath of Ronan could also come through, though they were separated by a Jaiden.
His breath made her inexplicably flustered.
The air was full of tense atmosphere, made Halle regret coming to this open class. She wouldn’t come if she knew that she would meet Ronan.
Halle didn’t listen to the teacher from the beginning to the end, but her two precious daughters were the kids who answered the most questions in the open class, which drew envious glances from other parents.
Halle went towards Nylah and Amirah when the open class was over, then said to Jaiden,
“Jaiden, let’s go.”
She just wanted to leave the place where Ronan was quickly, his presence gave her an indescribable sense of oppression. Recently, Hunter had already annoyed her very much, she virtually didn’t want to cause any more trouble because of Ronan.
However, Halle didn’t expect that when she stood up, a little boy approached Nylah and Amirah, “Hey, Nylah, Amirah, you say that man is your daddy, right?”
“Yes, he’s our daddy.”
Nylah raised their head and said proudly.
“You are nonsense, he is not, last time, I went to Mrs. Turner’s house for a party, he was also there, and my Mrs. Turner said that she would introduce a girlfriend to this Mr. Hill. What’s more, if he is your daddy, why was your surname Marshall rather than Hill?”
The boy’s words provoked the curiosity of everyone present, and Halle hurriedly pulled Nylah and Amirah, “Come on, let’s go home.”
“No, I don’t want to go home. I’m telling you, you must have misheard, he’s my daddy, you can ask him if you don’t believe me.”
Kingsley leapt out suddenly before the little boy could say something, “Okay, I’ll ask him, tell me, are you their daddy?”
Jaiden pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a fair face slightly reddened, but then said calmly,
“Yes, they are my daughters.”
“Then why don’t they take your last name?”
Halle’s heart was about to jump out of her throat, because she saw that Ronan was looking at her with a probing gaze, the little boy and Kingsley’s question was also what he wanted to ask, right?
“That’s normal, I divorced Nylah’s mom and they both live with Nylah’s mom, we agreed that we will take care of Nylah and Amirah together despite the divorce, but we’re going to remarry recently.”
It was not good to talk about remarry with children, but Jaiden didn’t have other choice now, looking at Nylah and Amirah’s expectant eyes. He just wanted them to be happy.
Halle felt she couldn’t clarify the thing anymore, but she didn’t have a reason to clarify because of Jaiden’s words. She had to allowed him make explanation like that, “Well, it’s all explained clearly, Nylah, Amirah, let’s go.”
Holding the children’s hand and was about to leave, however, Ronan suddenly said behind her.
“Jaiden, stop.”
Jaiden turned indifferently.
“Anything? Mr. Grant?”
Ronan walked towards Jaiden with a sullen face, then punched him unawares in plain sight, which was so fast and unexpected that Jaiden’s chest took a solid punch, causing him to stumble and hit a kid’s desk on the side, “Ronan, you …”
