Chapter 1192 - 1231: The Kindergarten Incident
He never thought he would fall in love with a woman. He thought that even if it was Mabel, to him, she was nothing more than an "Antidote." He could control his emotions and live his life without loving anyone.
But such thoughts were laughable in her presence.
His repeated feelings of "jealousy" must be because of love. Because... once upon a time, he loved her so dearly, didn’t he?

The next afternoon, Mabel Quinn unexpectedly received a call from the kindergarten teacher, saying Katherine Quinn got into a fight at kindergarten and hoping she could come over.
Upon hearing this, Mabel didn’t care about the injury to her foot. She grabbed the crutch and hobbled out of the neighborhood to catch a taxi straight to the school.
When Mabel arrived at the kindergarten and saw her daughter, the pigtails she had tied for her that morning were now completely messed up, and her clothes and skirt looked obviously tugged at. Her round, youthful face bore an expression of injustice; she pouted her little mouth, and her almond-shaped eyes were deliberately opened wide, fiercely glaring at another little girl beside her.
The other little girl, looking equally disheveled as her daughter, was currently downcast, seemingly sobbing, as a woman in her thirties constantly comforted her, seemingly the girl’s mother.
Mabel surmised that it must have been her daughter who was fighting with this little girl just now.
As soon as Katherine saw her mommy arrive, she immediately rushed to her side as if having found her support, saying, "Mommy, they wronged me! I clearly don’t have a daddy, yet they insist that I do!"
Before Mabel could speak, the little girl that Katherine had been glaring at earlier raised her head, her face full of tear streaks, and obviously scratched by someone. Her appearance was indeed much more pitiful than her daughter.
"Liar, you... boohoo... yesterday it was clearly your daddy who picked you up. You even told the teacher that he’s your daddy; I heard it myself." The little girl choked as she spoke, her voice so muffled that Mabel had to pay special attention to understand what she was saying.
"I’ve told you, yesterday was because I wanted to buy Mr. Jones as my temporary daddy. But later, I knew that a daddy can only be one, can’t be bought." The little one puffed her cheeks, looking angry, "Bella Field, if you keep calling me a liar, I won’t be nice to you!"
"..." The class teacher was speechless; at the moment, Katherine wasn’t being very nice to Bella either.
"Teacher Li, is this Katherine’s mother?" Bella’s mother spoke.
"Yes." The class teacher replied.
After that, Mrs. Field angrily rebuked Mabel Quinn, "I say, how do you educate your child, talking about buying daddies, what kind of nonsense is this? I’ve heard you’re a single mother. That’s why I say single-family education is problematic; like a daughter born without a father to teach, just look at what your daughter has done to mine!"
Mrs. Field, relying on her husband’s position as a director in the education bureau, was usually flattered by these kindergarten teachers, even the principal would give her face, so now she spoke to Mabel in a condescending manner.
