Chloe went back to her room and checked her phone. Sure enough, there was already a message from
Zachary,
He had looked into several kindergartens and ultimately suggested Sunny Kindergarten. They offered a special program for gifted children, with excellent teachers–just the right fit for a kid like Robert.
Zachary had texted, “Every top school’s drooling over these teachers. They’ll help your little genius thrive, and believe me, he won’t be bored in school.”
After reading it, Chloe quickly replied, “I’ll trust you on this.”
The next morning, Chloe woke up extra early. It was her first day at work, and she wasn’t going to take it lightly.
Before leaving for Cosmos Group, she drove Robert to Eaton Kindergarten.
She pulled over by the curb and walked him to the entrance herself.
At the gate, teachers in matching uniforms stood in a row, welcoming the children as they arrived.
Chloe quickly noticed the principal standing by the door.
“Good morning, Robert!” The principal smiled and greeted Robert as she walked over.
“Good morning, Mrs. Carter,” Chloe said. She had met the principal, Tracy Carter, a few times before when dropping Robert off. Usually, if Tracy was personally greeting students at the gate, it meant an important visitor was expected.
Maybe today was one of those days.
Tracy smiled and held Robert’s hand. She looked around behind Chloe, but couldn’t find who she was looking for. A puzzled look crossed her face.
“Are you alone today?” she asked Chloe.
“Is something wrong?” Chloe asked, puzzled.
“No, not at all. It’s just…”
Tracy trailed off, but just then, a car engine roared to life and caught her eye. Recognizing the vehicle, she realized her VIP was here–the visitor she’d been waiting for. She immediately slipped her hand from Robert’s and moved quickly toward the car.
Robert’s hand was now free. He glanced sideways as Tracy walked away, then spotted the familiar black sedan. He couldn’t help but click his tongue.
“Hey, Mommy, look who it is.”
Chloe turned and immediately recognized the Rolls–Royce with its showy license plate.

She knew that car well–it was Arthur’s.
What was he doing here at the kindergarten?

While she was still wondering, the car came to a stop. The driver quickly stepped out, jogged to the rear door, and opened it.
Arthur stepped out, looking sharp in his suit. He instantly stood out among all the other parents.
The CEO of Myers Group certainly knew how to make an impression. But then… Arthur turned and helped Jenarth out of the car.
Jenarth was clinging to his neck, wearing a tiny suit and an adorable little backpack.
Chloe raised an eyebrow. Seriously?
Arthur held Jennifer’s hand as she stepped away from the car. They looked like the perfect little family.
Tracy approached with a smile, exchanged a few words with Arthur, and then took Jenarth from his arms.
It finally clicked for Chloe–Tracy had been waiting for Arthur. He was personally dropping Jenarth off for her first day at Eaton Kindergarten.
No wonder Tracy had been so formal earlier. She must have assumed Chloe would be arriving with Arthur.
“Chloe!”
Arthur’s irritated voice came from behind her, but Chloe simply ignored it.
“Chloe, are you deaf? Can’t you hear me calling you?” Arthur strode over and stopped right in front of her. When he saw Robert standing beside Chloe, his expression turned cold. “Robert, has your mom been teaching you how to behave?”
Robert frowned. Who starts a conversation like that? Blame others first?
Arthur was acting all high and mighty, but Chloe wasn’t playing along. Even Robert refused to look at him. Arthur’s temper flared. “Chloe, is this what you’ve taught him? No respect, just as rude and stubborn as you
