Chapter 640

As soon as Cedric opened the door to the car Yoyo jumped out of his lap and out onto the ground. Cedric laughed at his son's excitement, he knew this probably wouldn't last long since most kids hate school.

Yoyo was quite the behaved little boy as he stood outside of the car and waited for his dad to step out. He quickly reached for his father's hand and held it tightly.

Cedric looked down and smiled at his son, they then walked over to the other side of the car and opened it for Adrianna. Cedric wanted to make sure that Yoyo learned from example, he wanted to be his son's role model. 

"Thanks Yoyo." Adrianna said as she knelt and gave her son a kiss on the head.

Yoyo quickly reached out with his free hand to hold his mother's. Adrianna looked down lovingly at her little boy as Cedric watched her with a smile.

They suddenly heard the sound of a camera shutter going off, making Cedric take a protective stance, placing his family behind him. 

"It was just me Ced." Ayanna said with a giggle as she and Ray walked up to them from their car. "You guys just looked like the perfect family, I had to take a photo."

"Well, this family is about to get bigger." Cedric said with a smile as he placed his hand on his wife's belly.

"Why don't I take another photo of you guys? A more formal one?" Ayanna offered.

Cedric smiled and nodded, he did want a photo of his little family, one more natural and yet formal. 

Ayanna quickly snapped as many photos as she could, she then asked her father and Adrianna's parents to join them.

Eventually she handed the phone to Leon, who was part of the security detail, and pulled Ray to join in the photo as well.

As soon as they were done, Cedric turned to see that school administrator and Yoyo's teacher patiently waiting for them. He felt embarrassed about making them wait, but they simply smiled at the sight they were witnessing.

"We're sorry you had to wait long." Adrianna said as they approached the administrator and Yoyo's teacher.

"It's alright Mrs. Reyes." The school administrator said with a smile. "We understand the excitement of first time parents when their child goes to school."

"Thank you." Adrianna said as she nodded at the school administrator.

"I'd like to introduce you all to Yoyo's homeroom advisor, Miss Peach." The school administrator said as he introduced a young woman.

By the looks of her, she was definitely younger than Cedric and Adrianna. She had a happy and youthful look on her and she looked very familiar to Cedric, he just couldn't place it.

"Oh my gosh! No way!" Ayanna suddenly shouted as she ran up and hugged Yoyo's teacher, surprising everyone.

"Ayanna, darling, you're scaring your family." Ray said with a laugh as he stood next to Cedric.

"Oh sorry." Ayanna said with a laugh. "Ummm I can explain."

"Explain." Cedric said with an amused look on his face.

"Well, Peach is an old friend." Ayanna said with a smile. "She's related to the Carpios and the Laurences." 

"Then why have I never heard of you or seen you Miss Peach?" Cedric asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's because I distanced myself from both families, sir." Miss Peach said.

"Calm down Cedric." Ray said as he placed a hand on his brother-in-law's shoulder. "Peach is my cousin. She left the family for the same reasons Eric did, she wanted to pursue her own life, being a kindergarten teacher isn't exactly on the list of approved occupations for families like ours."

"I think Peach would be an awesome teacher for Yoyo." Ayanna said in an excited tone. "She knows what it's like to come from a rich family and to hide your identity, she will definitely protect Yoyo's identity." Ayanna said with a nod.

"Don't worry, sir, I won't tell anyone about who Yoyo really is, and I won't treat him any differently compared to his classmates." Peach promised as she looked Cedric in the eyes.

Cedric smiled, he was happy she had also promised that in the last part, most people would do everything to get into Yoyo's good graces. The boy after all would probably be the heir to the Reyes Group, and if he wasn't he was still Cedric's son. 

He was sure that Peach had no need for that good favor, she had her cousin to vouch for her and she was trying to escape that world. She was someone that simply would have no ulterior motives to caring for Yoyo other than it was her job and she liked teaching kids.

Cedric smiled at the school administrator as soon as he realized what he had done.

"You knew?" Cedric asked.

"Yes." The school administrator said with a nod. "Miss Peach had asked us to keep her identity a secret, so I thought she would be the best teacher for someone that simply wanted to be normal too."

"Thank you." Cedric said with a smile. "You didn't have to go the extra mile but you did, I won't forget this."

"The Reyes have been more than generous to this school and it's students, it's the least I could do." The school administrator said with a nod.

Cedric knelt and faced his son, speaking to him at his level.

"Are you ready?" Cedric asked Yoyo.

"Yes dad." Yoyo said with a nod. His serious face was so adorable that Cedric couldn't help bu smile.

"This is your teacher, Miss Peach." Cedric said as he pointed at the young woman.

"Good Morning, Miss Peach." Yoyo said as he flashed her one of his charming smiles.

"Good Morning Yoyo." Miss Peach answered back.

"Miss Peach will help you keep your identity a secret, but you have to work on it too. Remember, no one can know that you are a Reyes, no one can know that I'm your dad, got it Yoyo?" Cedric asked his son.

"Yes dad, I'll make you proud." Yoyo promised his father.

Cedric smiled and nodded at his son.

"Okay, go with Miss Peach now and be a good boy." Cedric said as he nudged his son towards the teacher.

Yoyo took a few tentative steps before turning around and running back to his dad and hugging him tightly.

"I'll make you proud daddy, I'll always make you proud." Yoyo promised as he cried.

"You two do know that you will be seeing each other at home later, right?" Adrianna teased her husband and son as she laughed at them.

"Shhhh!" Cedric scolded as he hugged his son.

"Go to your teacher, Yoyo." Cedric said as Yoyo nodded and left.
