Chapter 26


    In the afternoon, Estelle took a day off from the school to keep Henson apany


    Upon arrival, they headed straight for the headteacher’s office. The headteacher wasn’t there, but


    another teacher knew that Estelle was the parenting to handle the situation. They were polite,


    pouring her a ss of water and asking her to wait for a moment.


    She overheard two teachers gossiping, “Who is she?”


    “A student’s parent.”


    ‘So young? She looks like a student herself!”


    Henson whispered to Estelle, “Don’t worry, it’s all good. I’ll exin to our teacher that my uncle likes


    younger people.”


    Estelle thought to herself. “Actually, you don’t need to exin. Men always like younger ones!”


    As more teachers came in, some recognized Henson and greeted him warmly, saying that he has


    improved in his studies recently.

    Estelle took theirpliments as to her humbly.


    With more teachersing in and not wanting to disturb them, Estelle took Henson to wait in the


    meeting room next door.


    After waiting for about five minutes, a man in a blue striped suit and ck-rimmed sses entered.


    Henson stood up, “Hello, Mr. Dunn, my aunt is here!”


    Estelle stepped forward and said with a warm smile, “Mr. Dunn, I’m Henson’s aunt.”


    Mr. Dunn looked surprised, but then he smiled, “Nice to meet you, Henson’s aunt. I just called your


    husband as well.”


    Mr. Dunn turned towards the door and said, “Mr. Lamont, what a coincidence, your wife is here too!”


    Estelle suddenly turned her head and met the man’s pitch-ck eyes, her mind buzzing, and she was


    Henson was also startled, swallowing hard, and cried out, “Uncle!”


    Jonathan’s eyes swept over both of them, emitting a cryptic meaning. He simply responded with a


    nomittal grunt.


    Mr. Dunn told Henson with a smile, “I called your dad, but he’s abroad and couldn’te. He gave me


    your uncle’s number instead. I didn’t expect that you’d bring your aunt here yourself!”


    He then apologized to Estelle, “Sorry for the trouble.”


    Estelle didn’t dare look at Jonathan and forced herself to stay calm, “It’s alright. Henson asked me to


    “Yes, it’s fine whoeveres,” Mr. Dunn said with a warm smile.


    Jonathan looked at Estelle, “Take Henson outside and wait. I’ll handle this.”


    “Oh, okay!” Estelle nodded repeatedly, not daring to look at Jonathan. She took Henson and hurried out


    the door.


    As soon as they left the office, Estelle’s face changed. She stared at Henson angrily, “Didn’t you say he


    wouldn’t find out?”


    Henson defended himself, “The teacher asked me to call a parent. How was I supposed to know she’d


    call my dad behind my back?!”

    Estelle gritted her teeth, “You’re going to get me killed!”


    Jonathan drove to the school himself. One hourter, he sat in the driver’s seat with Estelle and


    Henson in the


    back.


    The car stopped on the side of the road without moving. Jonathan answered a few phone calls to deal


    with matters within thepany, while Estelle and Henson sat upright, trying to minimize their


    presence


    Once Jonathan hung up, Estelle immediately said, “Mr. Lamont, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have lied


    with Henson and failed to set a good example. I apologize to you and to Henson’


    Henson quickly interjected, “It’s not Ms. Macin’s fault. I forced her to pretend to be my aunt.”


    “It’s my fault. Henson is young and doesn’t know any better. I’m an adult and should know right from


    wrong”


    “It has nothing to do with you!” Henson defended her, “You’re taking money from my family, so of


    course, you should listen to me.”
