Her Precious Baby

“I’m sorry for being late. I got held up with a meeting just now.”

Olivine wore a bright red strapless dress with her long, chestnut curls draped loosely around her shoulders, looking flamboyant that day.

Apparently, she didn’t attend a meeting but had been to the beauty salon instead.

She walked up to Mark and took his hand before turning to scan the crowd. Seeing no sign of Evander, she knitted her brows, and her expression darkened. I heard all parents must be present at this parent-teacher conference, and Evander has also arranged his work beforehand. He should have arrived long ago. Now that the parent-teacher conference is about to start, I wonder why he hasn’t arrived yet.

As time passed, all the parents walked into the school and took their children from their respective teachers.

Only Floretta, standing on her tiptoes, remained in her spot and merely stared at the gate.

Seeing her like that made her teacher feel bad. She walked over and comforted, “Floretta, are you sure you have informed your parents today is the day?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” Floretta responded in a clear voice.

“It’s all right. Maybe they are trapped in a traffic jam, or something has held them up. We’ll wait for them a little longer together.”

Upon hearing that, Mark snapped his head back and shot Floretta a sly smile. “Teacher, Floretta is spouting nonsense. She doesn’t have a mommy. No one will come and attend the parent-teacher conference with her.”
