Chapter 427
Hearing Courtney’s impatient question, Esme immediately said.
“Courtney, It’s not about me this time. It’s about my two little grandsons who are going to school soon. I am begging you, please help me arrange things for them to be admitted to a good school in Siverbourne.”
“You know that the kinds of schools in our hometown can’t teach my grandsons well. I want them to have a brighter future. Please, just help me.”
Hearing Esme’s request, Courtney frowned, “If will you let your grandchildren come to Silverbourne to study, what about your whole family?”
“For them to be able to study here, you also must have a house here,” Jane said lightly.
Courtney’s frown deepened. She doesn’t like where the conversation was going.
“It’s asking too much, right Court? This is just a piece of cake for you, but you won’t help me, right?” Esme looked at Courtney with a sad face.
She would never leave until Courtney granted her request.
Jane was shaking with rage, she desperately wanted to express her thought, but she held her tongue.
Courtney’s face was unreadable, but the coldness in her eyes could not be hidden.
“Let’s rest first, we’ll talk about this later.”
Her answer made Esme anxious, she did not want to end the conversation yet.
“Mom, Aunt is right. Let’s rest here first. We’ll talk about it later.” Vivian piped in.
She has never been in such a huge house before. Every time her mother–in–law come, she was always left out to watch their house.
It was rare for her to come to such a luxurious house. She had to stay here for a while.
Esme was convinced by her daughter–in–law and she did not say anything. She looked at Courtney and smiled.
“Okay then, but we’ll talk about it again. I am still tired from traveling anyway.”
Jane smirked, she was satisfied with how the talk ended.
“Mom, I’ll take the children back first,” Jane told Courtney.
“Go.” The older lady was tired of today’s events, she has no energy left to stop Jane from leaving.
Jane did not take the children straight home; she brought them to the mall instead.
It has been a long time since she bonded with children. She wanted to buy stuff for them.
“Mommy, they’re too annoying,” Zach mumbled.
“It’s okay, baby, they have nothing to do with us. If you don’t like them, we won’t go see them. Now, cheer up. Mommy will buy you clothes and toys. Just tell me what you like, we will get it for you.” Jane stroked Zach’s head and comforted him softly.
“Okay.” With Jane’s comfort, Zach’s anger subsided.
They went into the mall happily
They walked into a children’s store, which was filled with all kinds of pretty clothes, especially the ittle girls clothes. There were all kinds of cute little princess dresses.
Jane picked up a blue princess dress and showed it to Zoe.
Zoe look at this dress. Do you like it?
Zoe checked the dress out with obvious distaste. She then frowned and shook her head.
“Mom, I don’t that dress, it’s too fluffy”
Jane pouted and hung the dress up. Zoe never liked girly stuff. Many of the girl’s clothes were very simple with light colors
She also knew that the little girl dislikes everything concerning princesses. So just left the girl be and let her choose the clothes she likes. They enjoyed their time together And they planned t do it again the next day
The next day, Jane spent the morning working and went to the children in the afternoon. Jane
Jane was aware of the children’s behavior they can be mischievous and chaotic sometimes, so she
let Thea come too. She could not handle them alone
There were many people in the food court and there was a lot of delicious food Jane usually didn’t
eat these things much, but today with her children, she ate a lot, and her stomach was full.
They walked around until dusk, the giggling children followed Jane everywhere, sometimes, with food at hand. They then decided that it was time to go home
Jane? The group was about to get inside the car when a voice called from behind
Jane turned around and saw a familiar woman with a little girl standing not far away.
The woman went to Jane, surprise itched in her pretty face
Now that the woman is near, Jane finally recognized her It was Sarah White
“Jane, it’s really you I saw you from a distance and I thought I was mistaken. What are you doing in a place like this” Sarah was very surprised, the children were confused too
Jane, are these three your children?”
“Yeah Jane replied with a smile.
“Hello, Auntie The kid greeted the woman.
Then, Jane looked at the girl who was about the same age as her kids, holding onto Sarah’s hand.
“And is this your daughter? She’s adorable!”
“Thank you. She’s Alice. Sweety, greet Aunt Jane.” Sarah to the little girl.
The little girl looked at Jane, and then her eyes went to the smiling little children behind Jane, who were standing in a row. Her eyes lingered on a smiling Zoe.
She saw the food they were holding; they were the same food that she’s been begging her mom to buy for her, but her mother refused to do so. She felt some jealousy over the lucky kids.
Sarah immediately scolded her when she saw that her daughter was not saying anything.
“Sweety, why don’t you say something??”
Hearing her mother’s words fueled her jealousy, she became even more rebellious, and immediately said, “I want to eat what they have.”
Her daughter’s stubbornness made Sarah angry, although it won’t be seen on her face, she remained calm and smiling. No trace of annoyance. But her voice says otherwise.
“I said greet them, not ask for food.”
“Sarah, she’s just a kid, don’t yell at her.” Jane gently patted Sarah’s hand to show her that it’s okay.
“This child was spoiled by her grandma. She has no manners at all.” Sarah complained helplessly.
“It’s okay.” Jane shook her head in understanding and then said to Zoe.
“Zoe, you give her some of your snacks, please?”
“Yes, Mom.” Zoe obediently said.
Zoe was always glad to share. Besides, she’s been eating non–stop and her stomach got a little bigger already.
