Chapter 26 - 26: Unable to Admit

Cindy could only helplessly hold Morgan, who loudly said: “You can hold me, but not my little sister, no way!”

Adrian Zhekova sneered. He had already held her when they were getting in and out of the car!

In the future, he would have to continue holding her!

Adrian Zhekova’s cold gaze slid over the chubby hand Morgan was hugging on Cindy.

Cindy didn’t dare to let Morgan say anything more.

Usually, he was a clever and well-behaved child, but he seemed to be confrontational at the sight of Adrian Zhekova.

“We’d better get going,” Cindy hurriedly said.

Not daring to look at Adrian Zhekova, she quickly left with Morgan. After walking a few steps, Morgan wriggled in her arms, “Cindy, put me down.”

It would be embarrassing for the children in the nursery to see him being carried like this.

Cindy pursed her lips, “Wasn’t it you who said to hold you?”

“Ah well, just hold me for a while,” Morgan persuaded, “I’ll let you hold me properly when we get home.”

Cindy: “…”

This kid, he’s really concerned about his image.

Considering Morgan’s dignity, Cindy finally put him down.

Adrian Zhekova watched Cindy and Morgan enter the nursery gate, and only then did he get in his car.

He didn’t know why, but upon seeing Cindy, he actually…

He had never felt like this before, or else he wouldn’t have stumbled only once five years ago.

After that, he hadn’t been indulgent at all.

But just now, when he was close to her, he couldn’t help but pull her into his embrace.

And his heart was stirred for a moment.

Adrian Zhekova looked down, at the hand that had held her waist.

His fingers twitched, and he drove away to find a parking space.

Cindy thought he was just driving by and leaving.

But in fact, he deliberately brought them here, and he had no intention of leaving.

Unaware of this, Cindy was about to take Morgan to Teacher Linda’s office, but they were stopped at the door by her.

“Morgan’s mom, Morgan,” Teacher Linda greeted them with a smile, then looked down and asked, “Morgan, how are you doing? Your mom said you were injured too.”

Morgan clenched his mouth, hugged Cindy’s leg, and hid behind her, looking both wronged and scared.

Teacher Linda saw this and didn’t know what to say.

“Have the Arthur Woods’ parents arrived?” Cindy asked.

“They have, but Nelly Woods is in the headmaster’s office now,” Teacher Linda replied awkwardly.

Cindy raised her eyebrows. What did she say on the phone earlier?

Teacher Linda also realized that even if Nelly Woods really went to exert pressure on the headmaster and ask him to help Arthur, she couldn’t admit it.

“Morgan’s mom, don’t misunderstand. It’s our fault that the two kids fought, and yesterday Morgan ran out from the nursery without our noticing. The headmaster was very angry when he found out, so he decided to personally handle the matter. That’s why it’s being discussed in the headmaster’s office.”

No matter how eloquently Teacher Linda tried to explain, Cindy wouldn’t believe it.

She just gave a cold smile and went to the headmaster’s office together with teacher Linda.

When they arrived at the door, there was the faint sound of voices inside.

As Linda was about to knock, Cindy grabbed her wrist.

Cindy stared at her coldly, and for some reason, Linda didn’t dare to make a sound.

Somehow, Linda felt inexplicably afraid to make a sound..
