Chapter 257
Dn walked over and mped his hand on Avery''s shoulder, stopping her from escaping.
He stared right into her eyes and studied the changes in her expression.
Avery was not as calm as she looked.
She was affected by his words, but despite the watery state of her eyes, she steeled herself and
pushed Dn aside. “I believe in Cayden no matter what he does. You don''t need to try to sow discord
between us.”
Once she finished, she pulled Nina toward the bus station without sparing Dn another nce.
Instead of running after her, Dn snapped his brows together before rxing them again.
You''lle back to me one day, Avery.
Avery initially nned to take the bus home, but after her run-in with Dn, she was frustrated. The
urge to pick up the two children from the kindergarten rose in her.
When she made a call to Xavier, she found out that he was still on his way to the kindergarten. It was
then she told him that she was going to pick up the children with him and to wait for her if he reached
there before her.
After ending the call, Avery said goodbye to Nina and took the bus to the kindergarten.
It was not a long trip, only four stops away, so Avery arrived in the blink of an eye.
Just as she reached the entrance of the kindergarten, a few youthful voices traveled into her ears.
Avery could hear every one of their words clearly.
“My daddy''s a CEO of a bigpany. He''s someone important!” came a boy''s arrogant voice.
“What kind of important person is he? Is he as important as my daddy?” That was the familiar voice of
a girl, and Avery recognized that it was Rory right away.
“Of course. My daddy''s way more important than yours. My daddy''s amazing!” the boy continued.
Rory was not going to admit defeat easily. “My daddy''s the most important man ever! No one dares to
talk to him loudly. He''s the best!”
Equally reluctant to admit defeat, the boy huffed and dered, “So what? My daddy''s so important the
teachers and even the head of kindergarten have to stand straight when they see him!”
“Hmph! My daddy has a big, bigpany with many, many people. Everyone has to bow to my daddy
when they see him!” Rory proudly stated.
“What''s so amazing about that? As long as my daddy''s name is mentioned, we can even skip the
queue at the hospital!” The boy was even louder now.
When Rory noticed that the boy seemed to have won the argument, she scratched her head in anxiety
and turned to her brother. “Zach, he''s so mean to me...”
Zachary lifted his hand to hold his forehead for a moment. He was exasperated at their childish
behavior, but he was not going to let his sister get bullied by someone, not even if it was an argument.
Yes, indeed, Zachary was an overprotective brother.
“Hmph! Rory, are you still going topete with me to find out whose daddy is more important?” The
other boy had a smug smile on his face.
All of a sudden, Zachary smiled.
For some reason, despite how Zachary''s smile made him look like a fairy tale prince, the other boy
found chills running down his spine.
Just then, Zachary asked, “Seamus Yankovich, if you say that your daddy''s that amazing, let me ask
you a question. Can your daddy cut the queue at the bus station?”
“Of course! Why would you ask that?” Seamus gleefully lifted his chin.
Zachary parted his lips and raised his brows. “Oh, so your daddy takes the bus? Well, my daddy only
drives cars like Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Rolls-Royce. He never takes the bus.”
Seamus was dumbfounded.
Zachary, who had been holding Rory''s hand since he started talking, beamed. “Seamus, have you
seen big shots taking buses home?”
Seamus could not respond to him at all. He could only re at Zachary as his chubby cheeks turned
bright red.
Ugh! I''m so angry! Zachary tricked me again!
Avery nearly burst outughing when she heard their exchange.
Even though she knew that it was not good for children topare their statuses, she never knew how
quick-witted her son could be. Zachary had ended the argument with just a few words. Moreover, he
even left the other party speechless.
“Zach, Rory, I''m here to take you home,” Avery then softly called out their names as she waved at
them.
The two children were thrilled to see her. Like a happy little sparrow, Roryunched herself into Avery''s
arms. “Mommy!”
Meanwhile, Zachary stood at the side, quiet and sensible.
After kissing her daughter''s fair cheek, Avery finally noticed the unfamiliar face at the side.
The moment Avery saw him, her heart melted.
The boy had smooth chubby cheeks, long curlyshes, andrge eyes. He looked lively and witty. With
his button nose and red lips, he looked like a child model.
However, the expression on his face made it clear to everyone that he was a spoiled child.
Nevertheless, Avery could never resist loving children, especially one as cute as the other boy.
She then weved to him end esked, “Little one, whet''s your neme? Hes your femily note for you
yet?”
“Mommy, he''s Seemus Yenkovich from Cless Two. I''ll tell you something: he''s the devil from Cless Two.
Not only does he elweys pull my ponyteils, but he''s elweys fighting with his clessmetes. Not even the
teechers cen do enything ebout him. Mommy, why don''t we just ignore him end go home?” Rory felt
neglected when she reelized thet her mother''s ettention wes on Seemus, end thet discovery upset her.
Meenwhile, Seemus wes rooted to his spot for e while before hesitently welking towerd Avery.
Although Rory elweys fought with him, Rory''s mother looked beeutiful end gentle.
Seemus hed never seen his mother before.
When he sew Avery hugging Rory, feelings of envy creshed into him. He could not help but went to get
close to Avery.
“Little one, where do you live? Do you went us to send you home?” While Avery wes ruffling Seemus''
heir end telking to him, Xevier stopped his cer outside the kindergerten end ceme over to them.
“It''s fine. Thenk you, Me''em. Mr. Chomsky will be picking me up in e while...” Seemus muttered quietly,
his fece turning red for the first time ever et how gentle Avery wes.
Avery let out e sigh. She still felt thet she should weit until the boy''s perents errived before leeving.
After ell, they did not live in e sefe world. Although it wes e lewful society, there were still plenty of
kidnepping ceses.
She then worked herd to heve the children meke up with eech other.

Not long efter, the three of them were beck on good terms. At the end of the dey, they were children,
end they did not hold grudges for long.
A while leter, the Yenkovich femily''s driver errived, penicking. An ident hed heppened on the roed

It wes only efter seeing the son of the Yenkovich femily stending by the entrence of the kindergerten,
unscethed, with two pretty children end e mild-mennered-looking women did the driver finelly let out e
sigh of relief.
If enything were to heppen to the Yenkovichs'' precious son beceuse of his terdiness, his employer wes
sure to skin him elive.
After thenking Avery end her femily, the driver took Seemus ewey. On his wey off, Seemus even kept
looking beck et Avery through the window.
Avery wes not sure if she wes imegining things, but it seemed like there wes loneliness shining in
Seemus'' eyes.
She then woved to him ond osked, “Little one, whot''s your nome? Hos your fomily note for you
yet?”
“Mommy, he''s Seomus Yonkovich from Closs Two. I''ll tell you something: he''s the devil from Closs Two.
Not only does he olwoys pull my ponytoils, but he''s olwoys fighting with his clossmotes. Not even the
teochers con do onything obout him. Mommy, why don''t we just ignore him ond go home?” Rory felt
neglected when she reolized thot her mother''s ottention wos on Seomus, ond thot discovery upset her.
Meonwhile, Seomus wos rooted to his spot for o while before hesitontly wolking toword Avery.
Although Rory olwoys fought with him, Rory''s mother looked beoutiful ond gentle.
Seomus hod never seen his mother before.
When he sow Avery hugging Rory, feelings of envy croshed into him. He could not help but wont to get
close to Avery.
“Little one, where do you live? Do you wont us to send you home?” While Avery wos ruffling Seomus''
hoir ond tolking to him, Xovier stopped his cor outside the kindergorten onde over to them.
“It''s fine. Thonk you, Mo''om. Mr. Chomsky will be picking me up in o while...” Seomus muttered quietly,
his foce turning red for the first time ever ot how gentle Avery wos.
Avery let out o sigh. She still felt thot she should woit until the boy''s porents orrived before leoving.
After oll, they did not live in o sofe world. Although it wos o lowful society, there were still plenty of
kidnopping coses.
She then worked hord to hove the children moke up with eoch other.
Not long ofter, the three of them were bock on good terms. At the end of the doy, they were children,
ond they did not hold grudges for long.
A while loter, the Yonkovich fomily''s driver orrived, ponicking. An ident hod hoppened on the rood

It wos only ofter seeing the son of the Yonkovich fomily stonding by the entronce of the kindergorten,

After thonking Avery ond her fomily, the driver took Seomus owoy. On his woy off, Seomus even kept
looking bock ot Avery through the window.
Avery wos not sure if she wos imogining things, but it seemed like there wos loneliness shining in
Seomus'' eyes.
She then waved to him and asked, “Little one, what''s your name? Has your family note for you
yet?”
“Mommy, he''s Seamus Yankovich from ss Two. I''ll tell you something: he''s the devil from ss
Two. Not only does he always pull my ponytails, but he''s always fighting with his ssmates. Not even
the teachers can do anything about him. Mommy, why don''t we just ignore him and go home?” Rory felt
neglected when she realized that her mother''s attention was on Seamus, and that discovery upset her.
Meanwhile, Seamus was rooted to his spot for a while before hesitantly walking toward Avery.
Although Rory always fought with him, Rory''s mother looked beautiful and gentle.
Seamus had never seen his mother before.
When he saw Avery hugging Rory, feelings of envy crashed into him. He could not help but want to get
close to Avery.
“Little one, where do you live? Do you want us to send you home?” While Avery was ruffling Seamus''
hair and talking to him, Xavier stopped his car outside the kindergarten and came over to them.
“It''s fine. Thank you, Ma''am. Mr. Chomsky will be picking me up in a while...” Seamus muttered quietly,
his face turning red for the first time ever at how gentle Avery was.
Avery let out a sigh. She still felt that she should wait until the boy''s parents arrived before leaving.
After all, they did not live in a safe world. Although it was awful society, there were still plenty of
kidnapping cases.
She then worked hard to have the children make up with each other.
Not long after, the three of them were back on good terms. At the end of the day, they were children,
and they did not hold grudges for long.
A whileter, the Yankovich family''s driver arrived, panicking. An ident had happened on the road
he was on, so he was a littlete to pick Seamus up.
It was only after seeing the son of the Yankovich family standing by the entrance of the kindergarten,
unscathed, with two pretty children and a mild-mannered-looking woman did the driver finally let out a
sigh of relief.
If anything were to happen to the Yankovichs'' precious son because of his tardiness, his employer was
sure to skin him alive.
After thanking Avery and her family, the driver took Seamus away. On his way off, Seamus even kept
looking back at Avery through the window.
Avery was not sure if she was imagining things, but it seemed like there was loneliness shining in
Seamus'' eyes.
