Chapter 113

Early the following day, Paisley officially sent Serena to her new kindergarten. At the school gate, the scene of reluctant goodbyes played out once again.

"Rena, be a good girl. Listen to what Ms. Johnson tells you, and if you feel unwell, tell her right away. Don't keep it to yourself." Paisley repeated, tirelessly reminding her daughter.

"Okay, I'll remember that, Mommy." Serena also dutifully responded, repeating her promises.

"And get along well with the other kids. Don't bully anyone, and don't let anyone bully you, okay? If someone does, tell me immediately." Paisley couldn't bear to have the same issues from the last kindergarten repeat.

"Okay, Mom, I really understand," Serena said again.

"Don't worry, Ms. Sutton. I'll take good care of her," Sophia smiled reassuringly.

"Thank you, Ms. Johnson." Paisley handed Serena over to Sophia and, reluctantly, watched her daughter

be carried into the classroom by Sophia. As she turned to leave, she ran into two other mothers who were also dropping off their children.

"Hello." Paisley greeted politely, but without waiting for a response, she simply walked out of the kindergarten.
