For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
I even began to regret making such a request to the principal before.
Lundy angrily threw the toy in his hand and ran upstairs without looking back.
Seeing the little guy's back, I couldn't help but feel headache.
Needless to say, he must have heard our conversation just now and misunderstood us.
If I don't explain, I'm afraid that the little guy will make even more trouble
I massaged the spot between my eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "I did say hello to the principal, but after Lundy made a fuss last time, I told him not to fire Aviva and Cyrus, so I really don't know what you are talking about.."
Aimee replied coldly, "why do you think I trust you? It's already happened. The principal is also your man, so he will naturally stand on your side and listen to you. Penn, do you still think I'm a fool?"
Her words made sense.
I got more and more headache. When I was about to explain something, the person in front of me stood up.
"Penn, I really hope that I have never met you in my life!" Aimee said in a calm voice, word by word. Then she turned around and strode away.
Seeing her figure disappear from my sight, I took out my phone with a cold face and called Bill.
"Go and check what's going on in the kindergarten and why did they disobey my order!"
……
Aimee's POV
After leaving the Carter's s mansion, I drove straight home.
The two kids had already had dinner. Daphne was watching the science channel with them.
Seeing me come in, the three of them stood up and greeted me at the same time.
The two kids held my legs, one on the left and the other on the right, and looked at me with concern. "Mommy, is there anything wrong? You look so tired."
Hearing their concern, I felt warm in my heart. I forced a smile and touched their heads. "Nothing. It's just business. It's a little troublesome to deal with it."
The two kids comforted, "Mommy is so powerful. She can definitely solve it!"
The two kids went upstairs to have a rest.
There are only two people left in the living room, Daphne and me.
Daphne stared at me and said, "what's going on? Don't fool me. I can see that you were lying just now."
I hesitated for a few seconds and finally told her what happened today.
Daphne was furious. "Is he still a man? No, he dares to bully my godson and goddaughter. I have to get even with him!"
Then she was about to go out angrily.
I stopped her in a hurry and took her to sit down on the sofa. With a relieved smile, I said, "no, thanks. I've gone to see him and thought about it for a while. Now I've figured it out. That's good. This opportunity can also be used to disassociate myself from him. I don't have to worry about him every day and take them away from me."
However, Daphne was still worried. "What about Aviva and Cyrus? What are you going to tell them?"
I was also troubled by this question. When she asked, I hesitated and replied, "I will think of a suitable explanation."
We talked about it for a while. It was getting late, so Daphne left.
On the second morning, the two kids got up early as usual. After breakfast, they urged me to send them to kindergarten.
In order to think of a reason, I almost didn't sleep all night. Seeing the two kids waiting obediently, I couldn't bear it, but I still told them the reason that I came up with last night. "Mommy thought about it for a while and felt that it was a waste of your ability to go to the kindergarten. Then you can go to the other classes, okay?"
The two kids looked at me in confusion.
I smiled as if nothing had happened. "Cyrus likes computer, doesn't it? I'll take a computer class for you. What do you think? Aviva, do you want to learn finance? Or do you want to learn something else?"
Hearing this, the two kids looked at me and asked, "Mommy, why don't we go to the kindergarten all of a sudden? We haven't said goodbye to Lundy. If he doesn't see us in the kindergarten, he will cry again."
Thinking of what happened last time, I felt ironic again.
Last time, Penn personally took Lundy here and spent a night with the two kids. The atmosphere seemed to be harmonious.
I was still worried that Penn might find something wrong.
But I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in just a few days.
Thinking of this, I collected my thoughts and said to the two kids, "Mommy will help you to greet your brother. You can prepare for it. I will go to apply for discharging from school later."
After I entrusted Daphne to take care of the two kids, I rushed to the kindergarten and went through the dropout formalities for the two kids. As soon as I came out of the kindergarten, I happened to meet Penn who came to drive Lundy to school.
Lundy looked unhappy. he pouted and was led to this direction by the man.
When he looked into my eyes, his eyes lit up as if he was expecting something.
My heart sank when I saw the man next to me.
The two of them came to me soon.
Lundy grabbed my dress pitifully and looked up at me.
After a few seconds of silence, I pulled back my dress from the little guy's hand and took two steps back to keep a distance from him. "Aviva and Cyrus won't come again. From now on... Take good care of yourself in the kindergarten and get along well with other children."
After saying that, seeing the light in the little guy's eyes slowly disappear, I couldn't help but look away. I forced myself to calm down and said, "aunt has to work. I'm leaving now."
As soon as I walked to the man, my wrist was grabbed by a big hand.
I suddenly stopped and turned around expressionlessly to meet the man's gaze. "Mr. Carter, anything else?"
Penn frowned and said, "I didn't mean to fire the two children. You did misunderstand."
Hearing this, I said sarcastically, "at this point, Mr. Carter still wants to explain. Then I don't mind listening to your explanation. Mr. Carter, who else do you want to blame?"
He replied in a low voice, "I've asked Bill to investigate it. It was Bonnie who made the decision without authorization. Because of my previous order, the principal mistakenly thought that I acquiesced, so..."
Hearing his explanation, the more sarcastic expression appeared on my face. "Bonnie? That's what you mean, isn't it? Everyone in the River City knows the engagement between the Hunter family and the Carter family? Now you want to disassociate yourself from the relationship with the family. Aren't you afraid that she will be sad if she knows it?"
I withdrew my hand and said coldly, "Mr. Carter, don't worry. I'm not that kind of shameless person. I won't pester you. You don't have to explain to me like this."
Then I left without looking back.
