The President’s Five Children

Before long, the car arrived at Saintiny Noble Kindergarten.

The principal of the kindergarten and the teacher were waiting at the entrance to greet them. They called reverently but also uneasily as Sebastian drew nearer, “Mr. Grant.”

“Where’s Joanna?” Sebastian frowned, asking in a low voice.

“She’s in the medical room now. The doctor just checked on her and said she was perfectly well. Little Joanna climbed up the wall when we were not looking,” the teacher explained at once.

No sooner had the teacher finished speaking than Bonnie blurted, “What do you mean by ‘when you were not looking’? You mean you can’t even guarantee the children’s safety in your kindergarten?”

Truly, children were restless, lively and curious, but Saintiny Noble Kindergarten was a top kindergarten, and they should at least hire some security guards to patrolling around the place. What if Joanna climbed over the wall, or fell and hurt herself?

Most importantly, the teacher was passing the buck!

Hearing Bonnie, the teacher flinched, but soon, she retorted resentfully, “You’re nothing but a nanny! Mr. Grant hasn’t said anything yet, and it’s not up to you to dress me down!”

The next moment, the teacher felt a chill running down her spine, as if someone was casting a spell on her, and she was thrown into a panic and despair. The tension didn’t dissipate until Sebastian left.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

But then a piece of news came as a bolt from the blue.

She was fired…

For talking too much!

In the medical room, Joanna curled up in bed, looking pitiful.

“Didn’t you tell us she’s perfectly well? But she’s apparently suffering now!” Sebastian growled menacingly with a scowl.

The principal of the kindergarten replied in fear, “She’s really all right. She’s probably scared, so she doesn’t allow anyone to come near her.”

“Little Joanna, come here. Come to daddy,” Sebastian coaxed.

The little girl didn’t move, but gave a snort. She shared the same arrogant and indifferent attitude with Sebastian. No wonder they were father and daughter.

Bonnie asked apprehensively, “Could she have internal injuries? Perhaps we’d better send her to hospital for a general checkup?”

Is that the pretty lady talking?!

Hearing her familiar voice, Joanna sat up immediately, stretched out her little arms and whimpered tearfully, “Hold me!”

Bonnie took Joanna in her arms at once, patting her gently on the back to pacify her.

Watching this scene, Sebastian was totally speechless. Great. Joanna ignored him, her biological father, while asking a strange woman to hug her.

Whose side was this little girl on?

Bonnie appeased the crying child and checked her body, heaving a sigh of relief when she made sure Joanna was well.

“Why did you climb the wall, Joanna?” Bonnie asked.

Joanna lowered her head and wriggled her fingers, saying nothing.

In fact, she called Erika this morning, but Erika refused to let the pretty lady be her mother, so Joanna got upset and tried to climb over the wall to talk with Erika over it. However, she fell off the wall before she climbed over it.

It didn’t hurt that much, but Joanna felt sad at the thought that she could never meet the pretty lady again, so she lay in bed, sulking. She remained silent until the pretty lady showed up in front of her now.

It felt like a dream!

Joanna couldn’t help but hold Bonnie tighter. However, a pair of strong hands reached over and took her away from Bonnie’s arms!

“No! Let go of me! I want to be with the pretty lady!” Struggling, Joanna tried to wrench herself free from Sebastian’s hands.
