Roxanne and Cassandra chatted all the way to the hall of the kindergarten. The hall was also filled with fairytale-like decorations, and the seats were occupied by children and parents.
Pippa was waiting at the entrance. She saw Lucian first and greeted him politely. When she was about to tell him where to sit, she saw Roxanne and the others behind him.
“Ms. Jarvis. Ms. Clark.” Pippa figured that Roxanne was probably there with Lucian, so she greeted them together.
Roxanne and Cassandra smiled in response.
“Did you help your children to do their make-up? They’re so adorable!” Pippa couldn’t help but exclaim in awe when she saw Archie, Benny, Estella, and Chloe.
Although she was well aware of her students’ good looks, only when the children were dressed up as fairytale characters during the anniversary celebration did she realize how beautiful they were.
The children beamed when they heard Pippa’s compliments.
“Our class will be sitting at the front. Please make your way there.” Pippa pointed them to their seats.
They nodded and walked forward.
As they walked down the aisle while making their way to their seats, Roxanne could feel everyone’s eyes on them.
The crowd was stunned by the scene.
Although everyone present had dressed up as characters in fairytales, Roxanne and Lucian looked like a princess and a prince, while Archie, Benny, and Estella had the elegance of royalty.
Roxanne and the others were used to being stared at by others. Despite being stared al, they continued to make their way to their seats with straight faces.
Archie, Benny, and Estella sat between Roxanne and Lucian. They looked like a family
Soon, the anniversary celebration began.
One fairytale after another was presented on the stage.
The kindergarten had indeed put a lot of effort into the anniversary celebration.
The stage design was highly realistic, which made the fairytale look even more vivid and lifelike.
Archie, Benny, and Estella were exceptionally drawn to many of the performances because the stories were new to them.
They teared up when the Little Match Girl froze and died on the streets, and they covered their eyes out of fear when they saw Grandma Wolf from The Little Red Riding Hood. The three looked pitiful because of the change of emotions on their faces.
Roxanne’s emotions were stirred up a little too, but when she saw how funny they looked, she couldn’t help but feel amused.
“Mommy.” When the play was about Pinocchio, Benny cautiously tugged Roxanne’s sleeve.
Roxanne lowered her gaze and looked at Benny.
Benny was anxiously touching his nose as he asked in a muffled voice, “Will my nose really get longer if I lie?”
Hearing that, Roxanne chuckled softly.
Benny’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Roxanne didn’t expect him to ask that question. He’s usually intelligent, and computer programming isn’t even complex for him. I can’t believe he actually believes in things like this.
However, when she saw how nervous he looked, she couldn’t help teasing him. She smiled and said with certainty, “That’s right. Look at Pinocchio’s nose.”
Benny pouted and turned to Archie and Estella to check his nose.
No one knew what he said to Estella. But when she heard what he said, she couldn’t stop giggling as she covered her mouth.
When Roxanne saw the little ones whispering to one another, she was full of smiles.
