Chapter Eight: Meeting the Children

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-04 20:29:39

When the car stopped in front of the school, Anastasia looked at the school in surprise because this school was not here five years ago.

When the driver opened the door, Anastasia took Alina in her arms and got out of the car. She couldn't help but be surprised by the magnificent environment and security system of the school because the school was built with advanced technology.

Anastasia looked at Ethan and Evan and asked with a little doubt, "Where did you learn about this school? I didn't know about this school. I didn't know that there was a school in this place. Who told you about the school?"

Hearing her Mother's question, before Evan could say anything, Ethan spoke up, "Mom, we learned about this school from the Internet. This is a new school and the teachers and security system of this school are very modern. It was built five years ago and no bullying exists in this school. This kind of environment is very suitable for Alina, so we decided to take admission in this school." Hearing her son's words, Anastasia's doubts were dispelled.

She said with a smile, "You are right. If there is really no bullying in this school and if the teachers are good, then this school will be very good for Alina and you."

"Yes, you are right, Mommy. That is why we both selected this school" Evan said.

Anastasia smiled at her darling boys, "You guys did a great job, honey. Let's get in" Saying this, they entered the boundary.

Alina started looking around curiously from her Mother's arms. The inside of the school was really nice. There was a separate play area for the children. Anastasia put Alina on Sara's lap and asked her to stand outside, and then entered the headmaster's office with Ethan and Evan.

The headmaster greeted her with a smile. "You are very lucky that you applied online for admission to this school yesterday. If you had not applied yesterday, you would not have been able to get admission here now because the number of seats here is very limited. Additional admissions are not taken here. You have chosen a good school for your children."

Hearing the headmaster's words, Anastasia smiled and said, "Actually, along with my two sons, my daughter will also be admitted to the school, but my daughter is not physically fit. She has half-body paralysis but she is a very talented and hardworking girl. I want to get my daughter admitted here. So, I want to know your opinion on this."

As soon as Anastasia finished speaking, the headmaster smiled and said, "I know you are worried about your daughter's security, but you can be sure that your daughter will get attention like other children here and no one will tease her. The founder of this school has clearly instructed that all children studying here will get equal attention. Children are not considered by family status here.

And twice a month, meetings are held with the parents of the children here. If any child is secretly abused, then the parents should talk about it in that meeting. Immediate action is taken. Even if a child is bullied or a teacher mistreats them, all these issues are brought up in that meeting. But in these five years, there has never been a case of a child being bullied or a teacher mistreating a student. They all know that their lives will be miserable if they do the opposite things founder of this school had told them.

The founder of this school himself comes here once a week and randomly enters the classroom and talks to the students. He never comes here with any notice of his arrival. He comes unexpectedly and checks everything." Hearing the headmaster's words, Anastasia breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to ask who the founder of this school was, but before she could, Ethan said, "Thank you. You won't have any trouble with my sister. We two brothers will take care of our sister, but if someone accidentally teases my sister, we won't leave her alone." The headmaster was very impressed by Ethan's words.

Anastasia was about to say something, but before she could, the headmaster said, "I am actually very happy to see the intense love you have for your sister. You can also be sure, young man, that our sister will not have any problems here, and if anyone ever teases your sister, I will be there before you and stand by your sister."

"Thank you. I want to finish all the admission processing then," Anastasia said.

"Of course, my secretary will explain everything to you," The headmaster said, and Anastasia thanked him. Then they left the room.

After leaving the room, Anastasia took Alina from Sara's arms. Alina climbed onto her Mother's lap and said in a sweet voice, "Mommy, I want to go to the playground and play. Can I go?" Anastasia was about to say something after hearing her daughter's sweet voice, but before she could, Evan said, "Of course." "Mommy, you go and complete all the admission processing, while I and Ethan go to the playground with Alina and play.

Anastasia nodded her head after hearing Evan's words. After going to the playground, she put Alina on a bench. Anastasia left Sara there to guard them and went to complete all the admission procedures with the headmaster's assistant. Sitting on the playground, Ethan and Evan started playing as their sister wanted. As they were playing Sara got a call. She picked up the call and went ahead as the signal was poor there.

Just then, four cars entered the school boundary. Arthur got out of the middle car and looked at his security guards and ordered, "Spread out around the school and find out if there is any illegal activity taking place. If you see anything wrong, you can take action immediately. You have my permission"

After ordering the security guards, Arthur started walking towards the headmaster's room. His assistant Noah started walking behind him. Arthur was about to enter the headmaster's room when he heard the laughter of small children coming from the playground.

He immediately stopped and tried to listen to the sounds better. When he actually realized that the sounds were coming from the playground, he clenched his fists in anger because it was class time. At this time, if a child was playing in the playground instead of in class, it meant that a teacher had failed in his duties.

Before meeting this failed teacher, Arthur turned around and started walking towards the playground to meet the children. When he entered the playground area, he saw a sweet girl sitting on a swing and two boys gently pushing her from behind.

The two boys were taking care of her as if she were someone very close to them. He kept looking at them. At the moment Arthur saw, one of the two boys took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the girl's face. And another boy took out a chocolate from his pocket and gave it to the girl's mouth. The girl thanked them with a smile.

Seeing this beautiful scene, a smile unknowingly appeared on Arthur's face. Seeing the laughter, Noah stared at him with wide eyes. After five long years, he saw his boss smiling for the first time.

Arthur moved towards them and said in the softest voice possible, "Why are you playing here instead of attending classes?"

Alina was a little surprised to hear Arthur's words and hid behind Evan. Evan immediately hugged her.

Ethan turned around with a villainous smile and looked into Arthur's eyes and asked, "Who are you to ask this?"

When Ethan spoke rudely, Noah's heart started beating fast in fear. Arthur smiled at the kid's courage and asked, "I am in charge of taking care of the school. I saw the three of you playing here during class and I came here to ask you why are you playing here during class?

By any chance did the teacher throw you out of the classroom? Just tell me the teacher's name and tell me which class you are in? You have no reason to be afraid. No one can harm you." Arthur said again in a soft voice.

Ethan put his hand in his pocket and answered again in a cold voice, "I heard that when people have nothing to do, they go to others and create a disturbance for them. Today I saw it with my own eyes. If you are a clerk or a cleaner in this school, then do your own work instead of disturbing us.

And I am not obliged to tell you what we are doing. And we don't talk to strangers, who knows, they might be kidnappers or bad people. It is not possible to know what the person is by looking at the outer appearance." Hearing this, Noah reached the seventh heaven of surprise and started coughing in shock.

On the other hand, Arthur could not get angry at all after hearing the insulting words from her, for some unknown reason, he started getting attracted to the children.

He did not understand why he was doing this and why he could not get angry after hearing Ethan's insulting words. When no one could stand and speak loudly in front of him until now, today a small child was speaking insulting words to that man.

And the most surprising thing is that he is not angry. The style of speaking of the boy was surprising him a lot. Arthur smiled softly and looked at the other two children. When his eyes fell on the little sweet girl, the boy hid the girl and said rudely like the previous boy, "Don't try to look at my sister."

Where everyone was speaking in a timid voice out of fear when they saw Arthur, the two children were talking to him fearlessly, seeing this, Noah stared at them in shock without blinking.

When Evan stood in front of Alina, hiding her from him, Arthur felt a sharp pain in his heart. He wanted to see that sweet little girl. He understood that the two boys were the girl's brothers and that they were behaving like this because they thought he might harm them.

Arthur surprised himself by kneeling down and saying in a calm voice, "I will not harm you. There is no need to be afraid of me. I only want to help you."

Hearing Arthur's words, Ethan now said in a don't care manner, "Why should we be afraid of you? And did we ask for your help? You are wasting your time by coming here for nothing. We don't need your help. We can take care of ourselves."

When Ethan gave him a cold shoulder, Arthur felt pure hatred and intense anger in Ethan's voice. He was very surprised to think that these two children were looking at him with hatred. He had not harmed them at all. He didn't even know them. This was the first time he had met them? Then why do these children have so much hatred and intense anger towards him?

Although he always kept a safe distance from the children, today is the first time he has tried to get so close to any child on his own, but these children are trying to avoid him as if he had done something terrible to them. Why are they so angry with him? Arthur was about to stand up, at this time that sweet girl peeked out from behind his brother and looked at him. As soon as Arthur laid eyes on the girl, Arthur became fascinated. Looking into the girl's eyes, he sank into his regretful past.

    The next morning, Arthur was checking the information instead of checking his office's important files. Somewhere in his mind, there was a hidden hope that through that information he would find a trace of his wife. Although his wife had died five years ago, he still attended his funeral; however, his heart refused to believe that the body was his wife's. His heart still believed that his wife was alive. He could not accept that the body that had been burned to ashes in the fire was his wife, although the forensic report and DNA test had shown that it was his wife. After reading the information, Arthur closed the file in disappointment. It did not occur to him that his wife could have any connection with this girl. His wife had never been outside the country and this girl had never come to this country. This was her first time in this country. Still, he felt suspicious about some things. He looked at his assistant and asked, "Why is there no information about where this girl studie

    "Why are you quiet now? If that news is really fake, then your perfect boss didn't say anything about that 5 years ago? Now don't tell me your boss didn't have time to tell you that this video was fake and that was being spread? If this video and this news were really fake, then your boss would have protested at that time, but since he didn't protest, it means that this video is true and your boss cheated on his wife. Also, after that day, the news went viral: your wife died. Isn't it too much to be normal? Am I lying or saying something absurd, Mr. George? Anastasia looked at Arthur and asked innocently making his blood boil in anger. Arthur looked at her as if he going to gulp her down and said, "You claimed in front of everyone at the grocery store with so much pride and confidence that the ring that Ashley had on her hand was our wedding ring and that I had put that ring on my wife's hand at the wedding. How can you say that with so much confidence? No one was present at our wed

    Arthur’s expression darkened. His grip on the phone tightened. He was not able to control his anger and threw the phone against the wall. Noah froze at his place and looked at his new phone helplessly. Arthur stared at Noah as a dangerous glint flickered in his eyes. Noah immediately lowered his gaze. He didn’t dare to meet Arthur’s murderous gaze. “It is the same woman. Where is she? Now don’t tell me you could not find her information. You better give me an answer that I can understand,” Arthur said in a bone-chilling tone. Upon hearing his cold tone, Noah trembled a little and spoke up nervously, “Sir, we were able to find who was driving the car. We were able to track the number and get some basic information about her. We got to know her home address but.. Noah fell silent as he spoke and Arthur screamed in anger," But what?
