Mrs. Corbyn said, “It’s best that you’ve thought it through. Speaking of which, he has also changed a lot. Sometimes when I look at him, I find him…” Mrs. Corbyn did not utter the word ‘pitiful’
in the end.
After all, she knew how much her daughter had suffered.
Speaking of pitiful, her daughter was much more pitiful than Martin Weiss!
“Alright, Mom. Why don’t you have an early rest?” said Kyla.
She gently looked down once she saw her mother returning to her room. She raised her hand to her chest and sighed sadly.
Since coming back to the store, all she could think about was what she saw in Martin Weiss’s office-
Jacqueline Bowman leaning on Martin Weiss.
She knew there must be something wrong there. After all, Jacqueline Bowman had nothing much to do with Martin Weiss before, but the sight still caused her chest to feel stuffy. She even had the urge to rush forward and pull them apart earlier.
‘What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn’t care about it!’
Her marriage to Martin Weiss was just a matter of expediency. They had even agreed to divorce in the future.
Even if Martin Weiss was not with Jacqueline Bowman today but with any other woman, she should not care!
She knew that, so why…
‘Is it because I found out Martin Weiss is donating blood for me, so it stirred my heart?
‘No, I should stop thinking about it!’
Kyla kept telling herself that, but Martin Weiss’s face repeatedly flashed across her mind all night.
Kyla dressed up on the day of the parent-child event. She wore a long yellow dress instead of her usual dark clothes. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail as usual, but she used a newly bought barrette. She also wore sneakers and put on a white mohair cardigan, making her look youthful and fashionable.
When Nelson saw his mother this morning, he could not help saying, “Mommy, you look so beautiful!”
Kyla smiled faintly. She dressed up because she did not want to embarrass her son. However, she knew her son would not be ashamed of her regardless of whether she dressed up or not.
Even so, she wanted to do better for her son.
After breakfast, Kyla looked at the time and had no idea when Martin Weiss would come.
However, she froze as soon as she opened the door. Martin Weiss was standing right outside.
“Why didn’t you knock?” asked Kyla.
Martin Weiss seemed a little embarrassed as he said, “I was afraid… I’d disturb you.”
“You could just knock the next time,” said Kyla.
‘Next time…’ The words made Martin Weiss’s expression change a little. Then, he told himself not to overthink. The more he overthought, the more disappointed he would be.
He should know that by now.
“Are we going to Nelson’s school now?” asked Martin Weiss.
“Yeah,” replied Kyla.
Martin Weiss’s eyes fell on his son again as he said, “Let’s go… then, Nelson.”
Nelson Corbyn looked at Martin Weiss. He hesitated for a moment before calling him ‘Daddy.’
Although it was only one word, it made Martin Weiss smile. His eyes also seemed to be brimming with tears.
He should be content. Nelson was finally willing to call him ‘Daddy’ after the mistakes he made.
Kyla’s eyes glimmered a little when she saw that.
The three of them arrived at Nelson’s school. As it was parent-child day, the school was bustling with parents accompanying their children to their respective classes.
Each class had a theme for the parent-child event. For example, some were doing haunted houses, where students and their parents would dress up as ghosts and monsters. There would also be some sound effects as well as light and shadow effects to add to the atmosphere.
There was a class with a secret escape room and one with a Hansel and Gretel theme, where students would gift each other snacks and candies.
Nelson’s class had a time-traveling beverage store that sold all sorts of drinks. The money to buy the drinks was taken from the class fee, and the drinks were bought from Kyla’s store at their cost price.
Prices were then set for the different drinks. The students and parents would serve the drinks together.
There was a parent who was in charge of the extras’ costumes in a film studio, so they had a lot of costumes on hand that could be lent for a day.
Therefore, the students picked out different costumes from different eras according to their preferences. Seeing children and adults walking in the classroom that was set up like a beverage store while wearing those costumes, one would be confused as to what era one was in. It made it rather interesting.
According to the student ID number, parents and students worked as waiters at different time slots.
Each time slot was about half an hour long. After that, they were free to roam the school grounds. They could buy food and drinks from other classes or play some games.
In conclusion, the school’s parent-child event was held like a carnival to encourage interaction between parents and their children. It could also strengthen the parent-child bond and improve their interactions with each other.
Nelson’s student ID number was at the top of the list, so Kyla and Martin Weiss were among the first batch to work.
There were eight parents and five students in this slot. Thirteen of them were going to work as waiters.
They began choosing the props and costumes that they liked.
Some classmates whispered to Nelson Corbyn, “Nelson Corbyn, your parents are both here today.
