Listen to this chapter:

I remember you came back from overseas with Archie and Benny. Considering they grew up overseas, I'm surprised at how well they speak Chanaean.

The chat was just an excuse; the teacher spoke of trivial matters, as Archie and Benny's classroom performances were so impressive there was nothing to complain about.

Roxanne smiled and nodded. "That's because they had many Chanaean speakers to converse with."

The boys remained silent, smiling obediently. They simply nodded at their mother's words.

Seeing their good behavior, the teacher gushed with admiration. "Besides Chanaean and Ustranasion, they seem to speak Ferropenian, too, don't they?"

"Mmm-hmm, they probably picked it up from my colleagues overseas," Roxanne replied, caressing their hair.

Impressed, the teacher exclaimed, "They're exceptionally smart! To master three languages and the elementary school curriculum at such a young ageโ€”and with their exquisite featuresโ€”you truly have exceptional children!"

Roxanne beamed. "You flatter us. They're just ordinary children who enjoy learning."

While chatting, Roxanne remained vigilant, watching for Estella's parents. Checking the time, she realized considerable time had passed.

Suddenly concerned, she asked, "By the way, when will Estella's parents arrive?"

The teacher looked at her watch. "Probably soon."

Roxanne nodded, then lowered her gaze to Estella, who stood beside her, clinging to Roxanne's sleeve as if afraid she'd leave.

Unable to leave, Roxanne turned to the boys. "Can you go to the car and wait for me there?"

They nodded obediently and walked to the kindergarten entrance. Once Roxanne saw them in the car, she looked away. It was prudent to keep them out of sight; she couldn't avoid meeting the other two.

At the kindergarten entrance, Archie and Benny got into the car, one after another, then looked out the window.

"Why did Mommy ask us to come out here?" Benny wondered, stroking his chin.

Archie put away their schoolbags and joined his brother. "Because Daddy's about to arrive."

For some reason, Mommy doesn't want us to meet Daddy. However, we've discovered his true identity and even know what he looks like.

As the boys watched, a Rolls-Royce dramatically pulled up. A tall man in a long-sleeved shirt and pants emerged.

Benny had been watching intently. When the man appeared, he nudged Archie. "Archie, look. Could that be Daddy?"

Archie glanced at the man and nodded with conviction. "Without a doubt. That's the man I saw online!"

Benny exclaimed, "Daddy looks much more dashing in real life than in the picture!"

Archie glared at him. "Didn't I tell you not to like him?"

Benny looked sullen. Archie glared at the man outside as if he were a mortal enemy. This is the man who abandoned Mommy and us!

After his brother's admonition, Benny fell silent.
