Chapter 160


    "What are you doing here?" Elijah looked at the little boy with a baseball cap, his tone revealing a hint


    of impatience.


    This is a parking lot, and if a driver doesn''t see him while backing up, they might hit him.


    The vice principal immediately exined, "Mr. Bourne, this child joined the schoolst week. He


    doesn''t like talking to strangers."


    Everyone whoes to this school, whether kids or adults, has mental and physical troubles.


    Elijah thought about how this child had problems like Maka, and his mood softened.


    Ian put his notebook in his backpack, picked it up with one hand, and got up all cool-like.


    As he walked past Elijah, he stepped hard on Elijah''s spotless leather shoes.


    Elijah was speechless.


    Did this kid do it on purpose?


    "Mr. Bourne, I''m so sorry! The child must not have done it on purpose." The vice principal squatted


    down and wiped Elijah''s shoes with a tissue.


    Ian turned his head, a hint of provocation in his eyes.


    Elijah red at him but could only see the lower half of his face.


    Because the upper half was covered by the brim of his hat.


    That stomp was intentional.


    Whatever! All the kids at this school have some issues!


    He didn''t need to get angry with a troubled child.


    ...


    At 5 pm In Silverleaf Ridge.


    Albina picked up Rita from kindergarten.


    She had told Rita in advance that a special guest at home.


    So Rita was mentally prepared.


    But when she got home, she was still shocked.


    What a beautiful auntie!


    Her hairstyle, and her dress,were all so unique.


    And she was so pretty, like a princess from a fairy tale.


    "Auntie!" Rita walked up to Maka and greeted her politely.


    "Sister!" Maka called out a little shyly.


    Maka visibly rxed when she saw Rita.


    Before Rita came back, she hadn''t said a word.


    Rita covered her mouth with both hands, too surprised to speak.


    "Rita, grandma told you that she''s a special guest. She''s sick,she thinks she''s a child and younger than


    you," Albina exined to Rita.


    Rita was shocked, "Oh Can I treat her as my ''little sister'' and take her to y?"


    Albina looked at Violette and then nodded.


    Rita immediately took Maka''s hand and went to her room.


    Albina approached Violette.

    She had been sitting on the sofa in a daze since she returning in the afternoon.


    "Violette, shall I pick up Ian?" Albina suggested.


    Violette suddenly snapped back to reality, "I''ll go! Mom, is Rita back?"


    Albina sighed, "She''s back and in her room. You better stay home! I don''t feelfortable with you


    being so distracted. Dinner is ready. if you''re hungry, eat first."


    Albina left after saying that.


    Violette rubbed her throbbing temples and then got up to the bathroom.


    She sshed cold water on her face and felt slightly more awake.


    She walked toward the children''s room, pushed the door open


    "Sister, this doll''s eyes can move!" Maka held a Barbie doll in her hand, her face filled with innocent


    joy.


    "It can even talk! Press its hand and it''ll speak." Rita exined to her.


    She tried to press Barbie''s hand and the doll immediately made a sound.
