It was practically a given that Renee''s family would win the game today because their charming


    costumes would definitely earn them high marks.


    "I think so too. We''ll be the champions for sure! Adie, Abby… Let''s do our best!" Renee said to her


    children eagerly. Miss Apple then turned to look at Quinton, and was mesmerized by his good looks.


    Blushing, she asked shyly, ”Sir, are you Adie and Abby''s father? You''re so handsome.” She had taken


    over Adie and Abby''s ss during the previous semester, so she usually only met Margaret. She had


    no idea what Adie and Abby''s father looked like.

    "Umm... he is—" Renee started awkwardly, but Quinton interrupted her.


    "Yeah, I''m Adie and Abby''s father,” he said firmly.


    "Great, because we need the kids’ parents to help themplete their tasks today. The rules are that


    only the kids’ parents can join thepetition, and rtives and friends can only watch and cheer


    them on," Miss Apple exined.


    “Understood, Miss Apple. We''ll try our best,” Quinton replied with a smile. He had learned of this


    specific rule beforehand which was why he was pretending to be Adie and Abby''s father for now. He


    knew that the children would be disappointed if they couldn''t join thepetition, and he didn''t want


    that.


    However, Renee was a little upset by that rule. "Miss Apple, I I _ think that rule isn''t very nice.”


    "Why''s that, Miss Everheart?” Miss Apple asked.


    "The divorce rate is so high nowadays. Some kids live with their mother, father, or even their


    grandparents. Can''t they join thispetition? Isn''t that rule a little discriminatory?"


    Renee knew for a fact that the current divorce rate had risen tremendously. If the kindergarten


    discriminated against children from divorced families, many of the children would suffer. To Renee, it


    was an extremely outdated concept.


    "Miss Everheart, I understand your concerns, but that won''t I happen at Monte Perry Kindergarten


    because we''re very strict about the students’ backgrounds here. Generally, children from the kind of


    families you talked about won''t be allowed to attend this kindergarten. Besides, the rule is just there to


    prevent any cheating during the game. It''s unfair for the other parents, don''t you think?" Miss Apple


    didn''t know about theplicated situation in Adie and Abby''s family, and she had no idea that her


    words had hurt Renee.


    "But..." Renee wanted to argue but Quinton stopped her. Quinton leaned in close to her ear and


    warned her, "Forget it, Renee, ordinary people won''t understand. Besides, the kids are still studying


    here, so let''s not make a fuss."


    “Well, I just wonder why they''re so prejudiced towards single families. Are we living in ancient times?”


    Renee huffed sulkily, far from appeased.


    "It''s very normal. The parents here are elites, so naturally, they''ll want their kids to live in a harmonious


    and loving environment. They''ll always want the best for their kids," Quinton replied rationally. His calm


    pacifism was a stark contrast to his past self, who would have definitely argued and made a scene.


    For a moment, Renee felt helpless.
