146 Improvement

Frank turned around and saw a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses. He skillfully put his hand on the man’s shoulder and led him to his seat. He smiled and said, “Uncle, I was just talking about you and you’re already here. My seat is here. Don’t worry, this time is better than the previous school.”

The eyes of the bespectacled man lit up at the thought that he might not have to be detained. He felt that happiness had come too suddenly.

After pushing the spectacled man to his seat, Frank continued, “Last time, I was 12 from the bottom of my grade. This time, I’m 13. I’ve improved by one place.”

The corners of the bespectacled man’s mouth twitched. He reached out to hold his glasses. “If I remember correctly, Tantorn Public School has a hundred people more than the previous school.”

!!
Frank tutted and said with slight disdain, “Be more flexible. My parents don’t know. Just tell them that I’ve improved one place from 12 to 13. I don’t need to listen to their useless chatter.”

Vivian heard the conversation between the two and shook her head with a smile.

When Simon’s mother heard her son talking to Vivian, she guessed that it was the parent of her son’s classmate. Thinking that she should also greet the other party’s parents, she turned around, and Simon gave a brief introduction.

Simon’s mother was a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length hair. The wrinkles on her face showed that life was not easy. Her wrinkles were a little deep, and her soft eyebrows showed her optimism and peace.

Vivian smiled and nodded at Simon’s mother. She did not feel inferior because of her family’s financial situation. Instead, she generously exchanged a few words with Vivian, acting neither humble nor arrogant throughout the whole process.

Vivian was a little curious as to why Simon would choose to endure the bullying when he had a mother like her, but Vivian did not ask anything.

The parent-teacher meeting lasted for 40 minutes. Before it started, the form teacher allowed the students to move around freely in the school and return to the classroom in the last ten minutes.

The three of them were sitting under the tree below the teaching building.

It wasn’t that Frank didn’t want to play, but that Leon insisted on waiting. His eyes were staring straight into the classroom, even though he couldn’t see anything from this position.

Frank looked at Leon helplessly. “Leon, you’re really too clingy to your mom. I’m impressed.”

Simon pursed his lips and snickered when he heard this.

Leon glanced at Frank and didn’t refute him, but the two of them felt that he seemed to be a little proud of his evaluation.

A black car had just sped past Tantorn Public School at the school gate and then braked to a sudden stop by the roadside.

Angel almost hit the car’s central control panel because of the emergency brake. She exclaimed and shouted angrily, “Simon, you’re crazy! What are you doing?”

Simon realized that his current actions were inappropriate, so he quickly reached out and hugged Angel. He said nervously, “I’m sorry, baby, are you okay? Let me see if you’ve hit anything.”

Simon hugged Angel tightly, coaxing and kissing her as if his heart aching badly.

Angel’s anger finally dissipated. She clutched her chest and pouted at Simon. “I didn’t hit myself. You scared me to death!”

Simon stretched out his hand and touched Angel’s head and ears. He said softly, “My baby, are you feeling better now?”

Simon’s disgusting words didn’t give Angel goosebumps. Instead, she felt that Simon was treating her like a child, and she felt very happy.

Angel leaned on Simon’s body and asked curiously, “Why did you suddenly stop?”

Simon quickly thought of an excuse. “I suddenly remembered that I left the gift I bought for you at home, but it’s a little far to go back now. I’ll get it for you tomorrow.”

Angel didn’t say anything when she heard that it was because of her. However, she was still a little worried when she thought about her ex-boyfriend’s betrayal.

She sat up straight and touched Simon’s nose with her finger. “You’re not lying to me? Not because you saw someone?”

Simon’s back instantly broke out in a layer of cold sweat, but he did not show any signs of discomfort on his face. He looked at Angel with a determined gaze, “Of course not! I can’t lie, people will see through my lies.”

Angel didn’t see anything wrong with him. Her delicate red lips pouted slightly. “That’s best. If I find out that you’re having an affair with any woman, I’ll tie you to my side with iron chains. Don’t even think about leaving me for the rest of your life.”

Simon laughed and hugged Angel tightly again. He said lovingly, “Alright.”
