Loving Mom 104

Chapter 104

The children who attended this kindergarten either came from families with immense wealth or wielded significant power.

Born with silver spoons in their mouths, they lived cushioned lives, many of them spoiled to the point of being utterly lawless. Young as they were, they already carried the haughty airs of little princes and princesses, looking down on the world with unblinking arrogance.

And yet, among all these miniature royals, Theo and Matty stood out-for being the most polite, the most well-mannered.

Theo, now and then, still showed signs of pride. But Matty? There wasn’t an ounce of pretense in him.

Nearly every teacher at the kindergarten liked Matty.

When they heard he didn’t have a mother, their affection only deepened into quiet sympathy. To them, Matty was an obedient, thoughtful, and unusually bright child-hardly the kind who would lie.

So if someone like Matty cared enough to stand up for someone… that person probably wasn’t all bad.

What’s more, everyone knew Theo’s father treated his mother coldly. Of the few words he ever said about her, most were tinged

with blame.

And Theo himself… he had gone so far as to call his own mother a nanny, like she was someone to be embarrassed about.
