Scars Of A Broken Bond

The principal followed Keilani’s gaze and noticed she was looking at Jennie, saying, “That’s the chairman of Blakely Group’s daughter.

She’s intelligent and well-behaved.”

The principal spoke highly of Jennie.

The kindergarten had many kids from influential families. Some were not too bright while some were moody and cried a lot.

Jennie had joined the school mid-term. Usually, a mid-term transfer meant a student had issues at their previous school. The principal was bracing herself for a troublesome student, expecting complaints from the teachers.

But to her surprise, the teachers adored Jennie. They often complimented Jennie during staff meetings.

Plus, Jennie was courteous. Every time she saw the principal, she’d politely say hello.

Instead of playing, when Jennie saw the principal, she greeted in a sweet voice, “Hello.”

Jennie’s voice was incredibly sweet and warmed the principal’s heart.

“Hello, Jennie. Why don’t you play with other kids?” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’ll go join them now.” Jennie glanced at Keilani, who was standing next to the principal, with a puzzled look. She thought Keilani was strange since the latter’s gaze was on her all the time.

“Wait!” Keilani called out to Jennie.

Jennie looked at Keilani, curious. “Yes? Can I help you with something?”

“I find you really adorable. I’d like to give you a gift.” As she said this, Keilani pulled out a brand-new keychain from her pocket.

It had a woolen bear on it, something any child would love. “Here!

This is for you.”

Jennie firmly refused, “I can’t take it. Dad always says not to take things from people just like that. If I need something, he’ll get it for me.”

At the kindergarten, Jennie always referred to Tyrone as “Dad.”

“Here, just take it.”

“No, thanks. I want to play now,” Jennie replied and dashed off toward the slide.

The playground was bustling with kids, making it hard for Keilani to catch up. Reluctantly, she took back the gift.

The principal, observing this, smiled and commented, “Thanks for trying, but she doesn’t take gifts without a good reason.”

On a Sunday, Jennie encountered Keilani in her home.

That afternoon, Tyrone brought Jennie back for Lunch.
