“Mr. Wade!” Charlotte and Samuel immediately hopped off the swings.
The teacher held their hands, one on each side. “I knew that the two of you would be here. I’ve told you two multiple times that you have to return to the classroom right away after the outdoor activity session ends. Also, why didn’t the two of you finish your homework properly in the last two days?”
Charlotte had never attended elementary school before this, while Samuel had been raised abroad. Thus, they were unlike most children who grew up in this country where respect for teachers formed part of the culture. On top of that, because of their wayward personality, they didn’t take any criticism to heart.
Upon seeing their unfazed attitude, the good-tempered teacher added resignedly, “Forget it. I’ll speak to your parents during the parent-child activity next week.”
Meanwhile at the Burton Group, Rachel received a call from the nanny of the Burton Family as soon as she finished the task at hand. “Miss Chris, I have something to attend to at my hometown tonight, so I would like to take leave today. Can I trouble you to go and pick Charlotte up from school?”
“Of course, no worries.”
After Rachel hung up the call, she realized that she forgot to ask which school Charlotte attended but when she called the nanny again, all she heard was the busy tone.
As it was almost the dismissal time of elementary schools, she decided that she couldn’t afford to wait any longer, so she gave Justin a call.
“Hello?” Justin’s cold and indifferent voice was heard from the other end of the line. “What’s the matter?”

The teacher raised his head and saw Rachel but the very next instant, his expression abruptly changed. “Rachel!” The male teacher suddenly dashed out from the crowd and stared at her in a daze for a long time. Rachel froze for a moment as well. Although a name popped up in her head, it seemed to not belong to this man with a refreshing look before her—in fact, he looked completely different from the person she recalled. Before she could respond, she was taken into a firm embrace. “Rachel, I knew that you would come back! I missed you very much these years!” Both Samuel and Charlotte’s eyes widened. The very
