Nadia murmured to herself.
No one cared.
"Here we are. Get out of the car quickly. Mommy has to go to work at the hospital. If your hateful daddy doesn't come back alive by this afternoon, I will come pick you up." Nancy was angry, so she said something she would not normally say. She ushered the two kids out of the car and helped them gather their things.
"Daddy is fine! He will be back soon!" Nadia shouted.
"Keep your voice down, Nadia!" Nancy sneered. Some passers-by stopped and looked when they heard Nadia scream. Nancy did not want any more attention.
There was already enough neighborhood gossip going around about her, and she did not want to cause any more trouble.
"Well, I don't want to talk to Mommy anymore. I'm going to class." Nadia pouted and walked toward the kindergarten with her schoolbag.
"Hello. Are you Bobby's mother?"
When Nancy was about to get back into the car, a sharp voice called to her.
She looked over and saw a woman in a red down jacket walking toward her. The woman's ten-centimeter high heels clacked against the pavement.
Nancy forced a smile a
like this. Bobby and I are good classmates. We're not in love. What he wrote to me was not a love letter. It meant nothing. If you continue to mess around, I will never talk to you again!" Ruby pouted and replied angrily.
The woman rolled her eyes and thought for a bit.
She was going to have to play the long game.
Yes, that was it. Since she couldn't get money from the Fu family in a short time, she should use Ruby as leverage. She should groom her to grow up and catch the big fish, Bobby.
Thinking of this, the woman smiled triumphantly. She pulled Ruby close and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. It's my fault. What I did was wrong. You're right. You and Bobby are just good friends, and you get along well with each other. How about you invite him to our home this weekend? I will cook a lot of delicious food for you. How would you like that?"
Ruby looked at her mother in bewilderment. A minute ago, she hated Bobby, but now she wanted to invite him to their home. Ruby found it odd. "Mommy, didn't you just say that Bobby was a bad boy? If he's not good, why should I invite him to our home?"
