“My grandpa says that the Quinn School of Martial Arts doesn’t teach children martial arts.They’ve
asked about it for a very long time now.Unless you join the sect or become an unofficial disciple,
they won’t take you in.But once you become an unofficial disciple, you’ll have to keep on training for
many years.I can’t take such hardships, so I’m not going anymore !”
“My aunt says that…”
Children only practiced martial arts to keep fit.
How would families that could afford to let their children attend the Golden Sunshine Kindergarten
allow them to become martial arts practitioners? Therefore, even though Brandon made several
calls consecutively, everyone said the same thing.
Brandon, who was very positive, didn’t get upset.
He hung up excitedly, looked at Pete, and said, “Wow, the five of us will be the only ones there.That
means it’s gonna be a small class! That’s awesome!”
The others, Little Jimmy said indignantly, “They are too much! They agreed to come, yet they aren’t
coming anymore! Hmph!”
Mrs.Hoffman had come along with Jimmy, and behind their car was Jordan, who had also come.
Although he had told Mrs.Hoffman that he didn’t quite believe the children’s banter, for some
reason, when he thought of how Nora had so easily turned the tide at the racetracks, he
subconsciously felt that he shouldn’t underestimate her.
Thus, he had canceled all his plans for the day and made a special trip here.
The sensitive Mia was afraid that Cherry would be upset, so she looked at Pete.

When she turned to him, sure enough, she saw an expressionless ‘Cherry’.
She held Pete’s hand.
“Don’t be mad, Cherry!”
“I’m not…yeah.”
Mia asked timidly, “Then why aren’t you smiling? You’re mad, aren’t you?”
Pete “…”
He silently forced a smile.
“I really am fine…yeah.”
“Stop smiling, Cherry.Your smile looks even scarier than when you’re crying, “ said Brandon.
Pete ‘’…”
Brandon darted over to Pete.
“You’re a boy today, right, Cherry? You’re always so cool and not smiley at all when you’re a boy,
unlike the way you smile so sweetly when you’re a girl!”
Pete decided to ignore the silly fellow.
He got into the car and said, “Let’s go!”
Tanya was the one taking Pete to the Quinn School of Martial Arts today.
One shouldn’t ask why Nora hadn’t come—because she was making up for lost sleep! As there
were five children there, they wouldn’t fit in a single car, so all of them rode in separate cars.
In the end, everyone decided to head there in their own family’s respective cars! Pete got into the
car and sat in the backseat.
He peeked at Tanya—she was listening to music and engrossed in driving, so she wasn’t paying
any attention to him.
He secretly opened a compartment in the backseat.
Inside the compartment was a small mirror.
He started to practice smiling in the mirror.
He broke into a grin…
He clearly also loved Cherry’s smile, so why did he look so fierce when he was the one doing it
instead? It really was as scary as Brandon had put it.
In that case, he’d better not smile at Mia anymore, lest it frightened her .
She was already such a timid girl…
Inside the Smiths’ car.
Mia and Brandon sat in the back obediently.
Even someone as mischievous and disobedient as Brandon— who was also suspected of having
ADHD—was on his best behavior.
Because! Joel was in the car.
As he shifted his butt from side to side, he couldn’t help but lean into Mia’s ear and whisper, “Why is
your father here, Mia?”
Mia replied softly, “I don’t know, yeah.’’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoel raised his eyebrows as he listened to the two children’s conversation.
His gaze fell onto the jeep in front of them.
He hadn’t gotten out of the car with the kids just now because he had spotted her.
When Brandon and Mia said that they were going to the Quinn School of Martial Arts with Cherry
today, he had come along for some strange reason, thinking that he might run into her…
Sure enough, he did.
He cast his eyes down.
In the midst of his thoughts, he received a voice message from Quentin: “Just how many people
has that cousin of ours offended, Joel?”
Joel replied: “What’s wrong?”
Quentin sent another message: “There are five different groups following her and looking into her
background, and those are just the ones I’ve found so far! I’m probably the only one in the whole of
New York that can cover her tracks for her! Without me, she would probably have exposed her own
whereabouts a long time ago!”
Joel”..”
He massaged his temples.
He thought of lan’s silence in the hospital and felt rather troubled.
Wasn’t that little cousin of theirs a little too complex? How he wished he could have a frank and
open talk with her, and ask her who exactly she was.
