Chapter 29

“Mr. Xander… This is against the school rules and regulations, but I will do it because it’s you,” The proprietress hesitated when Xander showed up and

asked to have lunch with Jack and Jake.

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Lewis. I will forever be grateful for this favor,”

way, Sir,” She led the way while he trailed behind her. This was a difficult decision to make, which he was of course sure would p iss Summer off if she ever found out he did this, but he just wanted to spend some time with those kids and get to know them. He was almost very sure that they were his kids even though he had no right to claim they are.

Mrs. Lewis walked into the class where there were a few students sitting on their seats and having lunch. Jake and Jack were seated at the far end of the class, snacking away while talking and laughing.

“How are you, kiddies? Hope you are having a good time here?” Mrs Lewis asked with a sweet smile on her face, getting the attention of the kids who all tumed to her.

“Yes, ma’am,”

“Good. Enjoy your food, and stay focused on your studies. Remember you need to make your parents, myself, your teachers, and of course, the whole school proud, ok?”

“Yes, ma’am,” Came the students voice in unison.

“Jake and Jack. Someone is here to see you. Can you come out, please?” She walked over to them with a polite smile on her face.

“Is Mommy here?” Jake’s face brightened with hope and an excited smile as she looked at the woman who was squatting beside them.

“It’s not Mommy, boys. Why don’t you come out, hmm?” She reached out her hands to touch their heads, but they flinched.

“Sorry, but Mommy said we can’t relate with strangers,” Jack spoke up.

“Not entirely a stranger. It’s me, boys. Mind having lunch with me at the school cafeteria? I don’t mind if you want us to do it here,” Xander finally walked inside and squatted beside them with a sweet and passionate smile on his face.

“Mr. Xander? It’s you?” Jake couldn’t help the smile that formed on his lips as he looked at Xander,

“Why are you here? Ella is not in school today.” Jack raised his eyebrows innocently.

“Of course, I know. I came because of you two, not Ella. So, are you coming with me?” He ruffled Jack’s hair and smiled.

“But Mom said we can’t…
