Chapter 305 Trouble with the Children

Every afternoon, Brenda would be at the entrance, waiting to pick up the kids.

But today, as the children disembarked from the bus, Brenda was nowhere to be seen.

"Noah, Nathan, Mia, aren't your folks here?" Jonathan from the Sunflower class asked with concern, "Should I call your parents?"

"It's okay," Noah responded with a maturity beyond his years. "Brenda has been a few minutes late sometimes lately. We can wait for her here."

"Alright then, but stay put and don't wander off," Jonathan instructed. "Noah, you're the eldest. Look after your brother and sister, got it?"

"Got it, Jonathan. Don't worry," Noah puffed out his small chest with determination. "I'll take good care of them."

Reassured, Jonathan didn't ponder further and allowed the school bus to drive away.

Lately, it was not unusual for Brenda to arrive a few minutes late. In the past, the bus had waited for her to come, but repeated delays led to complaints from other parents, making Jonathan reluctant to keep the bus waiting any longer. Convinced that Brenda would soon arrive and knowing that they were close to home, Jonathan didn't feel as concerned.
