Chapter 141: Mr. Night Visited Your School?

Angels POV

I stood at the school entrance, watching Christopher guide the twins through the Inige wonden doors.

They looked so small next to his tall figure, with Arla bouncing exclledly as she told him about her upcoming art project while Ethan walked with his usual

measured steps.

Christopher fell silent for a moment, his expression clouding slightly "Have you chosen one already?"

"Yes, I've found one within my budget. I'll go see it tomorrow."

"Then I'll accompany you," he said, his tone leaving little room for argument.

I hesitated, then nodded. "All right. And when we go... I'll have something
