âDream on!â Nelly Woods heard Cindy Clarkeâs accusation that her son Arthur was ill-mannered. Wasnât this a direct insult to her and Andy Woods?
Nellyâs face twisted in rage: âWhy should Arthur apologize to you? You wish! Arthur did nothing wrong. Why should he apologize?â
âSo what if Morgan Clarke was born when you were young, whatâs wrong with that? So what if you donât know who Morganâs biological father is, whatâs wrong with that? If you do know, then say it! So what if you have a casual private life? If not, would you have given birth to Morgan before you were married? Five years on, and you donât even know where the childâs father is?â
Nelly then turned to the Headmaster: âArthur didnât say anything wrong. This mother and son duo had it coming! They do such shameless things but donât want people to comment?â
âIf you can make such disgraceful choices, you have to be prepared for the consequences. You had the child, so if your child also gets disrespected thatâs your fault, not anyone elseâs!â Nelly declared.
âWhat wrong did we say about Morgan Clarke? Itâs your fault, youâve dragged your child into this!â Nelly raised her voice, âIf you hadnât slept around and gotten pregnant, nobody would be talking about your child.â
âIf you canât stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. You have the audacity to act shamelessly, yet we canât point it out?â Nelly scoffed disdainfully. âIndeed, youâre a bad influence. No surprise that your only solution is resorting to a fight.â
Nellyâs disdain was evident on her face.
Thankfully, Cindy had been covering Morganâs ears, so he hadnât heard any of this.
Nelly then addressed the Headmaster. âExpel Morgan Clarke,â she suggested.
âWith such a violent child around, I donât feel safe letting Arthur stay here. What if he gets hit again?â
âArthur is not like those commonersâ children, heâs delicate! Regardless of anyone else, any slight harm to Arthur is unacceptable! Arthur has never been wronged like this since he was a child! I didnât put him in this nursery to be hit!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
To the Headmaster, Nelly said, âYou decide. Either keep Morgan Clarke or keep
Arthur. If you believe Morgan Clarke is not a problem, then Arthur will leave! And our family isnât stuck with only this nursery option!â
Good nurseries these days are all difficult to get into. Even though the fees for prestigious kindergartens are high, they are plenty of wealthy people willing to
pay.
Even for a prestigious kindergarten, you need to queue up one or two years in aavance co get m.
It didnât matter for the Woods family. They had connections and could choose any kindergarten they wanted.
They initially chose this nursery because they thought highly of it. While the children at this nursery came from well-off families, none of them were much wealthier than the Woods family.
This situation made Arthur stand out and receive more attention.
Better nurseries could accept Arthur, too.
In those places, however, other children might come from even wealthier families, and Arthur would not stand out as much.
Hence, theyâd rather keep him in this nursery.
The Clarke family, on the other hand, doesnât have many connections. If they left this nursery, it would be hard for them to get into another one.
The Woods family? They could switch to another one at any time.
In contrast, without Arthur, the nursery would lose a considerable amount of sponsorship.
Even with just a passing thought, the Headmaster should know who to keep and who to let go..
