The Bound Between Us

Chapter 190

They’d got a family event coming up.

The first half was for the kiddos to strut their stuff. The preschool teachers wanted the kids to show their parents all the good stuff they’d been up to. After all, parents had forked over a hefty chunk of change for their kids’ education, so the school had to give them something in return.
