Chapter 824 Inexplicable Affection


    Naturally, all the kids looked in Dany''s direction. All of a sudden, the attention of the entire room was


    completely on her.


    Dany was wearing a light pink tutu skirt paired with pink leather shoes. Her hair was braided into two


    low pigtails that trailed along her back.


    There was a serious look on her delicate face as she looked at the teacher. However, despite this,


    cuteness still showed on her face. The contrast between her humorless face and her cuteness looked


    quite funny.


    "Well, Dany...


    How about introducing yourself to your ssmates?"


    the teacher suggested.


    "My name is Dany Mo."


    Her introduction was even simpler than Fabio''s.


    "She is so pretty!"


    "Yeah, she is even more beautiful than Betty!"


    The other kids started to murmur among themselves about Dany''s appearance.


    Hearing that, Betty took a quick, sidelong nce at Dany and lowered her head silently as she saw her.


    ''Indeed she''s more beautiful than I am, '' Betty ruminated.


    Since only one seat was left inside the ssroom, Dany had no other choice but to sit next to Bolton.


    Meanwhile, Fabio''s eyes lit up as he carefully observed Dany. It was easy to see that she was different


    from the other kids around him.


    After her short introduction, the teacher went ahead with the lesson. When the ss was over, the kids


    went out to y again as usual.


    Kids were naturally easy to get along with. Just a while earlier, they had been talking about how cold


    Bolton was. Now they were all ying together outside, as if nothing had happened. There were,


    however, two kids who did not go out and y with the others.


    Dany and Fabio were not too keen about it.


    Fabio propped his head up with hand, his cheek lightly smushed against his palm. He cast a casual


    nce out the window, watching the other kids y. Pursing his lips, he couldn''t help but feel tired of


    ying games like his ssmates were doing.


    It was quiet in the ssroom. Dany looked over to Fabio and quickly lowered her head after. She knew


    this boy.


    She had seen him and his family when she was on the nest time. She could even remember his


    gentle-looking mother.


    With a sigh, she twiddled her fingers on top of her desk, lost in thought. ''Where could my mommy be?''


    No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t stop thinking about Ashley.


    Pursing her lips, she gingerly looked up at Fabio again.


    "Who''s picking you up today?" she asked all of a sudden.


    Surprised, Fabio raised his head and looked at Dany. "It would probably be my great-grandpa."


    "Why not your mommy?" Dany made a detailed inquiry.


    Hearing this, Fabio''s face lit up. "It''s also possible that she might pick me up. I don''t really know. But I''m


    sure she''lle get me if she finishes her work early.


    Why this question?"


    "Nothing."


    Dany averted her gaze. She couldn''t tell Fabio that she liked his mommy.


    ''I wish I had a mommy like Fabio''s, '' she thought to herself glumly.


    Or maybe Daddy could work hard to make his mommy, my mommy.'' This was the first time that Dany


    wanted an adult woman so much.


    There was nothing she wanted more than for Ashley to be her own mother.


    Meanwhile, Fabio thought that Dany could possibly be his good friend since they were both a lot more


    mature than all the other kids. Later that day, ever since Fabio scared Bolton, therger kid had been


    following the new kid around.


    It was as if Bolton was treating Fabio as his boss.


    Time psed quickly.


    Pretty soon, it was time for them to go home.

    Parents had already crowded outside the school, eager toe pick their children up. Some of them


    had their maids or nanniese pick them up, especially when their parents were not avable.


    Fabio looked around, wondering who would being to pick him up on the first day at school.


    ''Maybe great-grandpa will be the one to pick me up after all, '' he thought to himself. ''I''m sure daddy


    and mommy are still busy at work.''


    At that moment, he heard the teacher''s gentle voice behind him.


    "Fabio! Your mother ising to pick you up." Hearing the teacher''s words, Fabio looked up with


    surprise and found Ashley standing in front of him with a beaming smile on her face.


    It was such a pleasant and unexpected surprise for Ashley toe pick up Fabio from school herself.


    In fact, if possible, she wanted to be the one to pick up Fabio and Richard from school every day.


    After all, they were her children, and Ashley wanted to do it personally.


    Ashley finished her work at thepany as quickly as she could, and immediately went to pick up the


    two boys.


    "Mommy!"


    With a beaming smile, Fabio stood up and rushed towards Ashley, his arms wide open.


    "Hello, sweetie."


    Ashley opened her arms and caught Fabio''s embrace.


    "Have you been a good boy on your first day?" she asked as she dotingly stroked his hair.


    "How are you getting along with other kids?"


    "It was okay! I think I was obedient today, Mommy!" Fabio replied with a nod.


    "Good boy."


    Bending down, Ashley hugged him and kissed his cheek.


    Fabio kissed Ashley back on the cheek.


    "Mommy, I missed you so much. But why did youe to pick me up today? Don''t you have work?"


    "Well, of course I''lle pick you up!" she answered. "Today''s your first day in kindergarten."


    "Okay!


    Let''s go now, Mommy!" Fabio chirped.


    Ashley chuckled and nodded in response.


    Just when they were about to leave, Ashley saw someone looking at her from the corner of her eye.


    Confused, Ashley looked up and saw a girl in a pink princess dress staring at her.


    The girl was just about the same age as Fabio.


    She was staring straight into Ashley with her big, unblinking eyes.


    Dany didn''t expect to see Ashley today. Looking at the loving interaction between Ashley and Fabio,


    jealousy brewed up in her heart.


    It was easy to see how happy Fabio looked beside his mother.


    When Ashley''s eyes met hers, Dany quickly withdrew her gaze, feeling utterly flustered.


    "Hey," Ashley nudged at Fabio with a smile. "Is that girl your ssmate?"


    Following his mother''s gaze, Fabio nodded.


    "Yup. Her name''s Dany Mo. I like her. She has such a pleasant looking face."


    "Have you fallen in love at such a young age, little man?" Ashley teased. "But she is indeed beautiful."


    "No," Fabio answered with a frown, "I just have a feeling that I''m going to get along with her."


    Ashley nced back to look at the girl again, but when she did, she was already gone.


    Looking around, Dany was no longer in sight.


    "Mommy, what''s wrong?"


    Fabio asked Ashley confusedly.


    "Oh, it''s nothing," Ashley brushed off with a smile, "Come on. Let''s go home." With this, Fabio jumped


    off Ashley and walked beside her, hand in hand.
