Billionaire's Runaway Bride

Chapter １２

Following the direction she pointed, I saw a slide over there. The teacher was squatting there and talking to a little boy with a friendly smile.

The little boy was wearing a lovely kindergarten uniform, with his hands on his knees stiffly. He sat upright, and his eyes were staring at us.

When I saw the little boy's face clearly, I was stunned.

If I didn't mistake him for someone else, he was... Penn's son.

He was also a student of this kindergarten?

I quickly looked away.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Did you work hard today?"

Aviva shook her fingers with concern.

All of a sudden, I came to my senses. I smiled and said, "not at all."

Hearing this, Cyrus grabbed my hand happily and said, "let's go home!"

I nodded noncommittally and took the two kids to greet the teacher

When I was about to leave, my eyes fell on the little boy again.

Lundy stood up from the slide in a hurry and stared at us.

The teacher was afraid that he would fall down, so she quickly reached out to hold him.

"He is..."

I hesitated for a while and couldn't help but ask with concern.

The two kids answered immediately, "Mommy, he's in the same class with us. His parents haven't come to pick him up today, so he's waiting here with us!"

I nodded and looked at the little guy in front of me. I didn't intend to stay.

After all, it might be Penn or Bonnie who would pick him up later.

I don't want to see these two people again.

But obviously, he doesn't want me to leave.

I didn't want to disappoint him. I touched his head with a smile and said, "your parents should be here soon. I have to go now. You have to listen to the teacher and wait with her, okay?"

As soon as I finished speaking, i was about to stand up and leave, but the little guy grabbed the hem of my clothes hard.

Aimee's POV

I stopped and looked down.

The little boy kept shaking his head, and his eyes were a little red.

The teacher sighed helplessly and walked up to me. "Lundy has been sticking to Aviva and Cyrus recently. He is a bit autistic. No kid would like to play with him at school. Aviva protected him on the first day he entered the class with Cyrus. Perhaps it's because of this that he has been relying on the two of them. Now he might feel scared when he saw them leaving..."

When I heard the little guy's situation, I felt more and more uncomfortable.

I didn't expect that this little guy was not only dumb, but also autistic.

No wonder the teacher asked his two kids to wait aside.

But

Thinking of the two people who will appear later, I still hesitated.

The teacher tried to persuade Lundy in a low voice, but failed.

Aviva After a while, the teacher felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Miss Miller, are you in a hurry? If not, let's have a talk. After Aviva and Cyrus entered the class, I haven't told you anything about them."

Of course I can see that the teacher just wants me to wait with him here in the name of Aviva and Cyrus.

The little guy also looked at me eagerly.

When I looked into his eyes, I was about to say no, but finally I didn't say anything. I swallowed and nodded to the teacher.

Seeing that I agreed, Lundy's eyes lit up again. She pulled the corner of my clothes and carefully moved closer to me.

Noticing his little action, I didn't stop him or show any concern. I just talked about the situation of my two kids with the teacher as if nothing had happened.

"I remember that you came back from abroad. Aviva and Cyrus must have grown up abroad, right? I didn't expect that their Englishwould be so standard."

I nodded with a smile. "Because there are many native people around us who communicate with them in English."

The two kids didn't make a sound and just smiled obediently. They nodded as I said.

Seeing them so obedient, the teacher couldn't help but envy them, "except for French and English, they seem to be able to speak Spanish?"

"Yes, she learned it from my colleague abroad."

I touched the heads of the two kids.

Hearing this, the teacher couldn't help but sigh, "that's to say, they are too smart. At such a young age, they not only master three languages, but also master primary school courses. They are so beautiful. Your kids are so excellent!"

Being praised by the teacher, I couldn't help laughing. "You flatter me. They just like to learn."

When I was chatting, I kept thinking that someone would pick up the little guy beside me.

I looked at the time and found that it had been a while.

My heart tightened and I asked, "by the way, when will the child's parents arrive?"

The teacher looked at the time and said, "it should be almost there."

Hearing this, I nodded slightly and looked down at the little guy beside me.

Lundy stood obediently in front of me, still tugging at the corner of my clothes, as if she was afraid that I would run away.

Seeing this, I turned to the two kids on the other side and said, "can you wait for mommy in the car first?"

The two kids nodded obediently, turned around and walked towards the gate of the kindergarten.

I didn't withdraw my sight until they got on the car.

Penn’s pov

I knew I was late, so I strode into the kindergarten

As soon as I entered, i saw two people standing beside the slide and Lundy, who was almost in Aimee's arms.

"Mr.Carter, you are here!"

The teacher greeted me respectfully as soon as she saw me.

I nodded slightly and walked to the three of them. I glanced at my son and then looked at Aimee coldly. "Why are you here?"

The teacher asked in surprise, "you... Know each other?"

Aimee nodded to the teacher and then looked at me. "I came to pick up my son from school, but your son grabbed my clothes and didn't let go. I had to wait here with him."

When I heard the words "your son" from her mouth, my face suddenly darkened.

This woman was really heartless to say such words in front of her son!

I looked at Lundy beside her and stretched out my hand to Lundy with a long face.

"Come here."

Lundy took a look at my hand and then looked up at Aimee, refusing to come over.

The woman bent over and touched Lundy's head to comfort her, "your father is here to pick you up. Go back with him. I'm leaving too."

Then she stood straight.

But Lundy didn't let me go.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Lundy, let go of me and go back with Daddy."

I walked up to Lundy and said to her in an unprecedented stern tone.

Aimee's POV

Lundy seemed to be frightened. he held my hand tighter and leaned towards me subconsciously.

He was standing at the edge of the slide. When he moved his feet, he didn't look at his feet and almost fell down from the staircase.

My heart skipped a beat. I reached out my hand to help him steady himself.

The little guy didn't want to let me go, so I had to hold him in case he fell down again.

When the little guy was finally settled down, I couldn't help but frown. "Penn, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can come at me. Why are you angry with a child?"

Penn replied in the same unfriendly tone, "what I do to my son has nothing to do with Miss Miller. Do you think that you have the right to control my son just because he is closer to you?"

Hearing his sarcastic tone, I looked terrible and inexplicably angry.

I was not qualified.

In his eyes, I have never been qualified

I lowered my eyes with self mockery and didn't say anything more. I raised my hand ruthlessly and slowly separated the little guy's hand from the corner of my clothes.

The little guy wanted to reach out again, but was caught by me in the air.

"Aviva and Cyrus are waiting for me. Go back with Daddy. I'm going to find them."

I touched his head and greeted the teacher in a hurry. Then I strode away without looking back.

When they got in the car, the two kids had already sat upright. When they saw me get in, they still asked innocently, "Mommy, what's wrong with you?"

I took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Nothing. Let's go home."

Then I started the car and drove away.

Penn's POV

I looked at the teacher next to me and asked, "is her son also studying here?"

"Yes, the twins of Miss Miller's family are also in our school..."

I frowned, "when did they come?"

"Just... A few days ago."

"Inform the Carter Group to remove the two kids from the kindergarten immediately. Otherwise, we won't invest any more money in your kindergarten next semester!"
