Chapter 1110 The Overtures Of The Enemy
Crystal''s POV:This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Lucy came to a halt in front of me. She took off her hat, revealing her pale and thin face. While her features remained delicate and beautiful, she was
not as lively and active as before.
She was only a few years older than me. When she was in military school, she was well-known for her beauty. But in the short span of a few years,
both her appearance and temperament underwent a massive change.
l inwardly sighed, but I couldn''t muster up any sympathy for her. I just pitied her child.
"I''ve heard quite a lot about you. I''m d to finally meet you today, Alpha Crystal.” The corners of Lucy''s mouth curved up into a small smile. Her
demeanor was unexpectedly gentle.
I thought she would behave haughtily, but she didn''t. Instead, she chatted about the interesting tourist spots of the imperial capital with me.
She looked soid-back, which was theplete opposite of the Lucy I knew before. Was it possible that her experiences of the past few years had
changed herpletely?
I didn''t dare to let my guard down. I was alert when answering Lucy''s questions the entire time. When I spoke, I tried to keep it as soft as possible, not
revealing my real voice.
Just when I couldn''t tolerate continuing the conversation, Firman suddenly ran to us. He first called Lucy ''Mom'', and then hid behind her and eyed me
timidly. "Hello, Ms. Quinn."
Lucy tugged him to stand in front of her, gently patted his head, and said with a smile, "You shouldn''t always hide behind your mother when you greet
others. Be polite, young man."
Firman obediently nodded and greeted me again. This time, he said in a louder voice, "Hello, Ms. Quinn! Nice... Nice to meet you here.”
My heart softened. I removed a toffee from my pocket and offered it to him. "Hello, Firman. I''m happy to see you here too."
With a smile, Lucy interrupted and
said, ‘Firman fas mentioned several
times to methat you were his
favorite teacher. He has been a shy’
kid since he was little. He doesnt
know: Bow to express his needs well,
which often makes him the target of
hullies. I truly appreciate the
wonderful care you''ve taken of him
at school. Recently..." Content

Her voice caught and she heaved a
long sigh. With a worried expression,
she continued, ‘A few kids have >
a ways bullied him in school. Butt
haven‘hseen hime back with
any-wounds in the past few days.
Even his clothes are no longer dirty."
Then, Lucy took Firman''s hand and sincerely bowed to me. "Thank you, Alpha Crystal."
I quickly stopped them and rxed a little. "You don''t need to thank me. It''s my job as a teacher. In the future, I will do my best to stop the other kids
from bullying Firman. Don''t worry about him."
Regardless of any feuds between the adults, the child was always innocent. I sincerely hoped that Firman would live a good life without being
influenced by outer factors. At least he could have a good childhood.
Lucy thanked me from the bottom of her heart. She turned to Firman''s nanny, took something from her, and then handed me a delicate box. "Firman
has helped baked this cake. I hope you will take it."
Firman also looked expectant, hoping that I would take it.
I couldn''t refuse his kindness, so I epted it. I eased up on my vignce as I spected that Lucy was probably so nice to me right now because of
Firman.
"Shall we go to the pavilion nearby for some afternoon tea?" Lucy asked with a smile.
I wanted to refuse, but Firman also chimed in, "Let''s go. I have baked many other desserts..."
As I cbserved his flushed face, I could only nod in agreement.
Firman was akyost the same age as
Arron. Every time I saw a child that
was the same age as mine, my mind
always returned to my two beautiful
babiesat home. This was probably
the biggest change I''d undergone as
a mother. I was tenderhearted to
