Chapter 134
Zane had already come up with a reason. “He’s more introverted.”
Afterward, we returned to the company together after lunch. Zane threw himself into his work while I continued to sketch.
Although my drawing skills had improved significantly, I still wished I could work faster. This would give me more time to focus on other things.
Zane and I arrived punctually at the kindergarten gate as the school day ended. We had something very important to resolve today.
Zane approached Holly when she came out.
Holly was aware of Zane’s concerns and proactively reassured him, saying that everything had already been taken care of and that he shouldn’t worry too much.
Zane kept a stern expression, but he was clearly a bit more relaxed.
After most of the parents had left, the children from Willow’s class finally emerged. Willow was in good spirits, waving vigorously at us.
I quickly raised my hand to greet her.
Willow dove into my arms and excitedly exclaimed, “Mom, let’s go! We’re going back to eat pizza!”
I looked at her and said, “We still have some matters to handle, Willow. Please wait a moment.”
Willow looked a bit disappointed but replied, “Okay, then.”
Once most of the children from the class had left, Holly squatted down and asked the remaining kids, “Has anyone recently told you that Willow likes to hog other people’s moms?” A little girl nodded, saying, “Yes.”
Holly found this hard to believe. The students were quite young. How could someone say something so malicious?
She asked, “Who told you this?”
Without hesitation, the little girl replied, “Cody.”
Seeing the little girl’s parent approach, Holly released her, and the girl happily ran to her parent.
She asked Cody, standing in line, “Is your parent coming today?”
Jessica hadn’t arrived yet.
“She should be coming,” Zachary answered.
In truth, he didn’t quite understand why, despite being in the same class as Cody, Jessica was unwilling to bring him along when she came to pick him up. Sometimes, she even seemed afraid he would see her picking Cody up. She would arrive early to take Cody away before school was over.
Cody glared at Zachary. Did he ask Zachary to answer for him?
Zachary noticed his driver walking over to him.
Cody wanted to follow but worried that Jessica would panic if she couldn’t find him later. So, he could only stay where he was.
Holly apologetically said to Zane, “Can we wait for his parent to discuss how to resolve this matter?”
Zane maintained a stern expression, replying, “Mm.”
…
Zachary settled into the car, and the driver, Harry Thompson, planned to take him home.
“Don’t go back yet,” Zachary said, leaning against the car window, watching Annalise. “I want to wait here for a while.” Harry’s job was to pick up and drop off Zachary, so he naturally obliged. “Okay.”
Zachary watched Annalise standing next to Willow, chatting with her. Willow affectionately hugged her with a big smile.
In the past, Annalise used to treat him so gently, but ever since, he has been spending time with Jessica every day…
He began to feel disdain for Annalise. He even did many hurtful things to her.
So now that Annalise no longer wanted him, it was all his own doing.
