The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 381

Chapter 379

The day of the language competition arrived before anyone knew it.

This time, to everyone's surprise, Mr. Burton had caught wind of the kindergarten event and showed up with as much enthusiasm as the children themselves.

Mr. Burton beamed, "I may be an old man now, but there's nothing I love more than watching little kids. Anyway, I'm retired-so from now on, whenever there's a school event, I'd love to come join the fun."

Seeing Mr. Burton there to cheer him on, Marvin couldn't contain his excitement and dove right into Mr. Burton's arms.

"Mr. Burton, you came too!"

Chuckling, Mr. Burton ruffled Marvin's hair. "Of course I did. For your big competition, Grandpa had to be here in person to cheer you on."

With a childlike heart himself, Mr. Burton got along famously with Marvin-they could spend hours playing together, much to everyone's amusement.

Standing off to the side, Neville watched the scene, his gaze flickering with something unreadable, tinged with an odd complexity.

Noticing Neville's look, Mr. Burton glanced his way, gave him a subtle nod, a silent acknowledgment, and then turned his attention back to fussing over Marvin.
