At once, the class was bustling with activity.
All people knew that Franklin had a father, and Franklin no longer had low self-esteem from then on.
“Hey, Franklin, didn’t your mom come today, and didn’t grandma come either?” The class teacher came over from the office and looked at the child in front of her with a suspicious and unhappy look.
“Teacher, my dad is here.” Franklin replied loudly.
Instantly, the homeroom teacher was baffled.
From Franklin’s first day of school, Mrs. Knight had clearly told her to try not to mention dad in front of the child, but today …
“Teacher, look, this is my dad.” Franklin pointed to Brayden next to him.
Brayden nodded slightly at the teacher and smiled. The teacher immediately understood it by heart.
The whole day, Franklin was very happy, and Brayden’s heart was also very satisfied. When it was time to leave, many students and parents wanted to take a photo with Brayden. As Franklin’s father, Brayden naturally would not refuse.
“Myra, your husband is so handsome.” Suddenly, a colleague in the supermarket who had just returned from the students’ parents’ meeting said.
Myra suddenly froze, she was not married, where did she get a husband?
“What are you talking about sister, I’m not married yet.” Myra replied in an embarrassed whisper.
I don’t know why, at this moment Myra, the face of Brayden appeared in her mind.
“Oh, don’t deny it, your Franklin has admitted it and said he has a father to everyone at school.” A colleague laughed loudly.
They were not being sarcastic, but genuinely happy for her.
Myra suddenly understood. Myra’s eyes dimmed as she realized that she was talking about Brayden, who had accompanied her child to the parent-teacher conference today, and that it was quite a big deal. Myra’s eyes dimmed. How could I explain this later?
“I’ll cover your shift. I’ve taken the day off and have to make up for it.” The colleague gently patted Myra’s shoulder, signaling her to seize the opportunity.
Myra laughed awkwardly and hurried away.
“Ding ding ding …”
Myra looked at the caller ID and it was Brayden.
“Hello, Mr. Kirkland?”
“Where are you?” Brayden’s voice was a little anxious.
“I’m on my way home, what’s up?” Myra deliberately played it cool.
“I’ll come get you.” After saying that, Brayden was about to hang up the phone.
“Hey hey, Mr. Kirkland, no need, I’ll be home soon.” Myra rushed to say.
But Brayden didn’t care where she was, she hung up the phone and ran straight out.
“Uncle, my mom likes strawberry flavored lollipops!” Franklin suddenly shouted from behind.
Brayden’s mouth curved up at the corners with a curve of satisfaction.
In fact, it was nice to have a Franklin, Brayden’s eyes flashed a touch of softness.
It wasn’t long before the two met on a side street. Instantly, Myra felt a little awkward. She didn’t know what to say to this man.
“Well, thank you for attending Franklin’s parent-teacher conference for me today.” Myra whispered, not even daring to look at him.
Brayden’s eyes, Myra would not be able to stop herself once she met those eyes.
“It’s okay, it’s all I should do.” Brayden smiled.
Myra froze for a moment, and then regained her previous expression.
Myra kicked a small stone on the road and didn’t say anything.
“Coo!”
Suddenly, the woman’s stomach growled, and instantly, Myra blushed.
Damn, why is the stomach so indisputable, what a nice atmosphere, why do you have to make a sound!
Myra made a strong effort to lower her head, want to find a crack in the ground and disappear forever in front of Brayden.
It was so humiliating!
“Here!” Suddenly, Brayden pulled out a lollipop, strawberry flavored.
Myra was stunned.
How did he know he liked strawberry-flavored lollipops?
The woman took the lollipop, said nothing, and peeled it straight up. At this point Myra just wanted to rush the candy into her mouth and not let her stomach growl again, it was too humiliating.
The man and the woman were walking side by side, and it was very quiet around them.
“Myra!” suddenly, Brayden took the woman’s hand.
Myra slowly turned around and looked at the man in front of her, a little nervous.
“What’s wrong?” Myra flashed and blinked her big eyes.
“What do you think?” Brayden asked bluntly.
He believed that this woman had feelings for him, she just couldn’t face her true feelings, either because of the baby, or because of Mrs. Knight.
“What, how do you think?” Myra deliberately pretended not to understand.
“Myra, I think you should be able to see that I treat you, differently than I treat other people, so, I like you.” Brayden looked seriously at the woman in front of him.
Faced with such a straightforward confession, Myra instantly had a feeling of being struck by lightning. This seemed to be the first time her heart was moved, or in the face of a man she had been with for less than a month.
“What about you? What do you think? Can you be my girlfriend?” Brayden tightened his grip on the woman’s small hand.
“I …”
Myra wanted to say “I do,” but the woman’s reserve made her hesitate for a long time.
“I would like to …”
“Myra!” suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted Myra’s unspoken words.
“Myra, Mr. Kirkland, what are you doing here?” Teddy asked, panting.
“Oh, we just happened to run into each other.” Myra replied hurriedly.
Brayden looked at the man in front of him, and then at Myra next to him, and he wondered why Myra was lying. Obviously when we spoke earlier, he made it very clear that he was here specifically to pick her up!
“Oh, so, Myra, I heard that you were injured, how is it?” Teddy looked up and down at Myra in front of him.
“Nothing, nothing, don’t worry, I’m fine.” Myra patted her chest awkwardly.
Looking at the interaction between Teddy and Myra in front of him, Brayden’s brow, tightly wrinkled.
This, can’t be, his love rival, right?
Brayden looked at Teddy suspiciously, but Teddy’s mind was all on Myra’s body, completely ignoring Brayden’s presence next to him.
“It’s late, let’s go home.” Brayden suddenly said.
“Huh? It’s late, Teddy, so let’s go home.” Myra gently patted Teddy’s shoulder.
She actually touched that man!
At once, Brayden skimmed his lips.
“Hey!” Brayden shouted from behind.
Myra was taken aback and rushed back to look at Brayden.
“Just now, that guy, what’s your relationship?” Brayden looked cautiously at the woman in front of her.
Myra hesitated for a moment. Should I tell him that Teddy was the man who had courted her before and then rejected her. Well, it didn’t seem necessary.
“He is the man who often goes to the garden to help Mrs. Knight carry flowers, Mrs. Knight especially like him.” Myra replied in a low voice.
Brayden looked at the Teddy in the back with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
“I’ll go help in the garden tomorrow, too.”
