Chapter 70 Lily took it and put it on the desk.
Lucas pushed his glasses. “I don‘t accept bribes.” “What bribe?” Charlie asked.
Anne whispered, “Say hello to the Principal...”
“Hello, Principal!” the three little kids said in unison. “Being nice won‘t give you an advantage either.” Lucas rested his hand on his chin, held a pen between his fingers, and twirled it in an orderly manner. “What is your education level, what job do you have, and what is the family income?”
“I...I could not graduate from university, and now I work at Aesthetic Clinic, with an income of less than 2000...” Anne knew that she was not very qualified.
Apparently the parents were the ones getting interviewed, not the children...
Lucas frowned slightly. “Where‘s the child‘s father?” “The child‘s father...is gone...” Anne said.
“What university were you in?”
“Cambrick.”
Lucas wondered if she was lying.
“Your conditions do not meet the requirements for a child to enter our nursery.” Lucas said,” The parents do not have a certain social status or potentially contribute to the school. At least they must be high– paid.”
Anne‘s face was bright red. She just wanted the best for her child, but she did not expect this to be this hard.
“Sorry for wasting your time.”
The kids looked at the principal and then at Mama. They could not understand the conversation, but they knew it was not going as planned.
Anne left with the triplets.
Lucas‘s eyes fell on the gift on the table, his fingers opened the lid, and he found the gift inside. It was a children‘s handicraft, and on the drawing page were four stick figures of one adult, and three children. Below the picture was a sentence: To the beloved Principal!
Anne had just walked out of the office building, when... “Miss Vallois, please stay!” Anne looked back, saw Lily, and asked, “What‘s the matter?” “The principal said that if you come to pay the fees early tomorrow morning, your kids can go directly to the nursery.” Anne was stunned and immediately felt overjoyed. “Thank you! Thank you, Principal! But why
did the principal change his mind?” “2000 dollars a month is quite a huge number!” Lily said.
“Speak ill of me again, and I‘ll beat you up!” Lucas Newman, the principal, said playfully, throwing the car key over to Lily.
Lily caught it. Anne bowed to Lucas, who had gone to the parking lot. “Thank you, Principal!”
On the way back, Chloe asked her, “Mama, where did Papa go?”
“We have never seen him before!” Charlie said.
“Is he dead?” Chris asked.
Anne could not tell the truth, and she could only hesitantly say, “Yes...Uh...” “Poor Papa died young...” Chloe lowered her head. Anne kept silent.
After taking the children back, Anne told Cheyenne that she had signed them up, then Cheyenne took out a credit card and gave it to her. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Anne was puzzled. “What is this? I have my own money.” “No matter how rich you are, raising a child is like feeding a bottomless pit. There‘s no harm in preparing more money.”
“No matter what, I will never use your money, Mom.” Anne did not accept it.
“If you accept me as your mother, then keep it! It‘s not for you. It‘s for the children,” Cheyenne insisted.
Anne could not reject her, so she had to keep it. She would not use it anyway.
After singing the children to sleep, Anne left.
Cheyenne told her that she would take care of the children‘s transportation. Anne would have more time to get ready after getting up. It was only in the afternoon that she received a call from Cheyenne.
“Anne, go pick up the child after you get off work. I can‘t go... There is something else I want to tell you. I’m leaving Luton.”
“What?” Anne was surprised. “Mom, why are you leaving all of a sudden?”
“I am going out of town with a friend, and I won‘t come back in the future.” Anne could not believe her ears. Why was she leaving so abruptly?
