Chapter 36

Alaria:

I looked at my son, smiling when I saw the smile that was on his face at the sight of his school.

He looked at me for a second, and I nodded at the principal as she got down on her knees in front of him. He looked at her then at me, “do you like the school, Ashton?”

“Yes!” He said, looking at me. “I like it very much!”

I had my arms crossed over my chest as I looked around. The school seemed to be elegant, and judging by its reputation, it seemed to be good. Yildez’s son, Dante, was in the school. He seemed to be happy, and I could tell that even his mother, who was the person who recommended it to me, was satisfied with it.

“Alright, then if we can tend to the paperwork.” I said, and the principal smiled. She nodded. at me to walk to her office, and I watched as one of the maids approached Ashton, leading him toward the playground.

“Did you like the school?” She asked, breaking my train of thoughts. There was a number of things that I was going to need to think of, and I knew that there was a lot for me to tend to today.

After what happened at the hotel the other day, even answering Ezio’s calls was a big no to me.

“I did,” I said, smiling at her. “It is big and it seems that the children here are happy. I’m also glad that there are higher grades as he grows. You know, the fuss of having to take him to another school, building new friendships, and a new surrounding can be challenging when it comes to a certain criteria and education that we want to hold.”

“Indeed. I see many of the mother that are as concerned as you are. Even your ex husband. wanted to have his son here. It was a shame that he did not pass the test to attend the school. As you may know, it is a bit difficult for children to pass advanced tests when they’ve
