Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: _ Screams

The door creaked open, momentarily silencing the classroom. A stern-faced man, Mr. Thorne, the school disciplinarian, stood in the doorway. His eyes scanned the room before settling on

Liam. "Liam Caspian, please come with me. The principal requires your presence in his office."

Huh?

The principal?

My brows furrowed. "Is everything alright,

Mr. Thorne?" I asked with a voice laced with concern.

"Everything is fine," he replied curtly, not meeting my gaze.

Tch.

Even with the fact that I held a higher rank in the school than him, this ugly man had not in the least bit of regard for me.

The students in the class had already began to murmur and gossip. I rolled my eyes but before I could speak further, Liam stood up, his face holding no emotion.

He did look like a kid who wasn’t afraid to see the principal. He nodded once to me and followed Mr. Thorne out of the door, leaving the class even louder.

"Ignore that," I said to the students sternly. "Let’s commence with the class."

Shaking off my worry, I forced myself to focus on the lesson. However, my mind kept wandering back to Liam. Each minute that passed felt like an eternity.

I couldn’t help but worry why Liam was summoned to the office. There was this awkward sensation that was whirling all over me. It was as if I could sense that the day wasn’t meant to flow well.

Just as I was about to wrap up, Mr. Thornberry reappeared, alone.

"Where’s Liam?" I asked.

Mr. Thorne shifted uncomfortably. "The principal wishes to speak with you as well, Ms. Isleen."

Confusion clouded my mind. "But Liam...?"

"He’s fine," Mr. Thorne cut me off. "He’s waiting in the office with the principal."

Me?" I wondered out loud. "But why?"

Mr. Thorne offered no explanation. He simply gestured towards the door and left.

The jerk!

With a heavy heart, I dismissed the class and followed his trail up the stairs with a million questions in my head.

The climb to the principal’s office was filled with silence. The hallway was deserted with sunlight filtering through the stained-glass windows.

Finally, I reached the principal’s door emblazoned with a gold nameplate: ’Principal Blackwood’.

I knocked tentatively and almost immediately, a gruff voice boomed from within,

"Come in."

I entered cautiously to find Liam seated in front of a man whose imposing presence seemed to fill the room. The principal was a portly figure with a bushy salt-and-pepper beard. He looked up from behind a mahogany desk. His gaze, piercing blue eyes under bushy brows, rested on me.

"Please, have a seat," he gestured towards a chair in front of his desk.

I sat down, my eyes darting between Liam and the principal. Liam didn’t seem to be bothered at all, so I heaved a sigh of relief. "Good afternoon, Principal Blackwood," I greeted him with a slight nod.
