Chapter 192 The New Kindergarten
Matthew looked on as we left together.
In just two days, I completed all the paperwork and enrolled Ava in Sunnydale Kindergarten. Initially, I assumed it was a given since we lived in the neighborhood.
However, as I checked out Ava’s classroom, I overheard two teachers chatting. “Wasn’t the kindergarten
full? How did she manage to get in?”
“Do you know who made the request?”
“Who?” The plump Ms. Marigold asked her colleague. The colleague whispered her reply, and Ms.
Marigold dropped her jaw.
Her response puzzled me. Was there something unusual about Atlas’s arrangement? I didn’t dwell on it because what mattered was that Ava got in.
That night, Ava told me, “Mommy, the teacher at school was nice to me. She gave me extra food and didn’t let the other kids take my toys. She even said I was the prettiest girl in the class!”
“Really? What did she teach you?’ Seeing her enthusiasm relieved me.
After all, who wouldn’t enjoy some special treatment? Nonetheless, I wondered who had influenced the
teacher to treat Ava differently.

Now I had one less thing to worry about, I should’ve done it sooner since my mom had a long bus ride to
send Ava to her old kindergarten. Now she could walk her there in ten minutes.

On Monday afternoon, Matthew came to my office again. He quietly placed the registration form on my desk, and I looked at him in confusion. He said impassively, “Go do the transfer.” I was surprised. This was so unlike him..
“Don’t look at me that way. I was only upset the other day. Ava is my daughter, and I love her. Shouldn’t
you at least let me vent my frustration after what you put me through? Anyway, let’s not fight anymore. Just let me come home, please.”
His face went pitiful. “Chlo, I handle Melanie. Let’s start fresh. I miss you, you know?”
His words gave me goosebumps, and I glared at him. “I don’t need it anymore. Take it back.”
He gaped at me in disbelief. “You changed your mind? Honey, I know you’re upset, but you shouldn’t take +15 BONUS
I didn’t bother to explain to him and pressed the buzzer. Carol quickly showed up at the doorway. “Ms.
Chloe?
“Please see him out,” I said coldly.
“Come on, Chlo. What can I do to make you forgive me? I’ll break up with Melanie, okay? I want to spend the rest of my life with you and Ava. Don’t do this to me,” Matthew pleaded, attempting to appear helpless.
Before I could respond, Melanie stormed in.
