The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 1132

Isaiah quickly picked up on the teacher's confusion and took the initiative to speak up as Vivienne and Percival approached, "Dad, Mom."

Vivienne ruffled Isaiah's hair, "Have you been waiting long?"

Isaiah shook his head, his grip firm on Juliette's hand, making sure she stayed.

Vivienne glanced at Juliette, then approached the teacher, "Sorry for holding you up."

"It's okay," the teacher said, waving it off before adding, "But as their teacher, I must emphasize, no matter how busy work gets, make time for your kids. It's too late for regrets if something happens." "We slipped up today, won't happen again. Sorry for the trouble," Vivienne said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

The teacher was taken aback.

She had braced for a difficult conversation, not expecting such a warm response.

After a moment's pause, the teacher smiled, "No worries, it's part of our job. Since you're here, I'll head back."

After saying goodbye to the kids, the teacher left. Vivienne lifted her daughter, Percival following suit with his son.

"Juliette, Isaiah, I'm sorry. This was my mistake," Vivienne said earnestly.

Isaiah and Juliette exchanged incredulous looks. Did they just hallucinate?

Mom apologizing?

To them?

Both kids saw disbelief and a hint of doubt that they might be dreaming in each other's eyes.

Seeing their silence, Percival said, "My fault. Got caught up with your mom and forgot. How about we hit that kid-friendly diner we missed last time?"

The kids remained silent.
