Chapter 1601: Chapter 1601: He Probably Won’t Come Anymore

Chapter 1601

Layla Lowell knew the situation was indeed as tricky as she had suspected when she heard that.

She asked, "Is this not a new regulation from your school?"

The kindergarten principal laughed, "Not really, it’s just a proposal of mine, not yet implemented. I didn’t expect Ms. Jones to be so diligent; she took care of it immediately—an invaluable teacher indeed."

These words sounded awkward, causing Layla Lowell to frown unconsciously.

She said, "I can refuse to comply, right?"

"Of course, you can. However, since you’ve already paid the tuition, if Ms. Jones is really willing to do home teaching, it’s actually a good thing. I suggest you give it a try; after all, one-on-one teaching is a rare opportunity."

Layla Lowell thought about it and asked, "Is Miranda Jones a good person?"

"Oh, Ms. Lowell, if that’s what you’re worried about, rest assured. Our school’s teachers are all strictly vetted; their conduct is beyond reproach! Ms. Jones may be new here, but aside from her impressive academic credentials, she’s remarkably patient with children. Don’t just take my word for it, you can ask Dawn."

Her tone was very warm and close, with a persuasive power that eased half of Layla Lowell’s concerns before she even realized it.

After hanging up the phone, Layla Lowell went to her daughter and asked, "Dawn, tell Mommy, is Ms. Jones nice to you?"

Dawn Lowell nodded without hesitation, "Ms. Jones is our favorite teacher."

Layla Lowell was speechless and couldn’t make up her mind for a moment.

She wanted Dawn to continue her classes, lest she fall behind later.

"Let’s go to eat, Aunt has already prepared the meal," she said to her daughter with a smile.

Dawn nodded and then tugged at her to go to the kitchen to wash their hands.

The nanny carried out the last dish and asked, "Miss Lowell, isn’t Mr. Carrington coming over?"

The nanny was rather puzzled. She had received Charles Carrington’s menu before cooking, saying he would dine here tonight, so she had steamed extra rice. But now, he was nowhere to be seen.

Layla Lowell zoned out for a moment, then said, "He’s probably not coming. Let’s eat."

She served her daughter a rib full of meat but had little appetite herself.

At the same time, downstairs, in the Parking Lot.

Miranda Jones looked at the man in front of her, fell into silence for a few seconds, and then continued the earlier conversation, "I assure you, I have no such feelings for you anymore."

She smiled helplessly, "I know that during that time, I was crazy in pursuit of you, but that’s all in the past. So many years have gone by I’ve changed. Even though I’m not married, don’t have a boyfriend, and there’s no one I’m interested in but,"

She shook her head and then said, "I’ve truly given up on you. meeting your daughter was just fate."

Charles Carrington leaned against the car, responding coldly, "I didn’t say anything. Why are you saying so much?"

Miranda Jones was slightly startled.

"That’s because you just asked me why I was here. I thought you were implying that I came here to chase after you," she said with a feigned casual chuckle.

Charles Carrington did not say much more.

"No need to talk any further. Regarding the home teaching, I do not agree. You should go back," he said.

As he turned to leave, she added, "As far as I know, Dawn Lowell lives with her mother, so you don’t have the authority to decide on this matter." She spoke with urgency, watching his retreating figure.

These words made Charles Carrington stop in his tracks.
