Then, he continued driving emotionlessly, and they reached the kindergarten in no time. Just then, there were already many parents there, although they had arrived 15 minutes earlier. After glancing at her watch, Anastasia suggested, “Why don’t we wait in the car for a while before entering? Jared is probably still taking his nap right now.”
Elliot nodded in agreement before she started using her phone to check the latest news to kill time. Meanwhile, the man next to her, who didn’t have the habit of mindlessly scrolling through his phone, fixated his gaze on her.
At this moment, Anastasia’s long hair was pushed to the back, leaving a few strands of baby hair to accentuate her full cheeks. Her cheeks were soft and bouncy, showing how well her skin was.
Right then, Elliot’s gaze shifted to Anastasia’s lips instinctively. Her lips were plump and soft, sending off signals to invite the man over.
Meanwhile, Anastasia, who was in the midst of reading the latest news, felt a pair of eyes staring at her before she turned around to meet Elliot’s deep gaze. When she sensed what he was thinking about, she was taken aback.
Is he getting aroused again?!
“It’s time. Let’s go!” Anastasia kept her phone and got out of the car.
At the same time, the lustful look in Elliot’s gaze vanished before he got out of the car and headed toward the kindergarten together with Anastasia. Just then, the two young female teachers that were ushering at the kindergarten entrance were stunned when they saw the couple heading toward them.
The man walking next to Anastasia was giving off an arrogant and noble aura. Although he was just wearing a white dress shirt along with black slacks, his 6’2 height made him look as if he was royalty. Is this the definition of perfect? Oh my God, is that Jared’s father? What a handsome man!
“Miss Tillman, is this Jared’s father?” one of the female teachers asked curiously.
“Uh…” Anastasia pursed her lips.
“Yes. I am Jared’s father.” The man next to her admitted with a deep voice.
“Come on in. The activity is starting soon.” The teachers took a few more glances at Elliot. My goodness! Jared’s mother must really be enjoying this view! It must be nice to marry such a good-looking man and conceive a good-looking son as well.
“Jared and his father bear so much resemblance to each other!” one of the teachers chimed in.
However, Anastasia was speechless when she heard the teacher. Seriously? How can my son look similar to this man? Do all good-looking people look similar? Still, it’s impossible to look so alike that even strangers think they look like father and son, isn’t it?
Since the program would be held at the kindergarten’s field, they had built a stage along with chairs for the parents. As Anastasia enrolled Jared in an ordinary kindergarten, it was understood that the types of equipment were slightly aged.
At this moment, the children came out one by one, holding onto the hems of the shirt of the person in front of them. All of the children looked adorable and happy as their faces lit up proudly when they saw their parents.
When Jared saw the people he was expecting, he broke into a smile, revealing his white teeth, before Elliot waved at him. Right then, Elliot’s presence was not just fan service to the teachers but also eye candy to all the young mothers. All of them stared at Elliot intently, as if he would become theirs if they stared long and hard enough.
Even the fathers started scanning Elliot up and down while thinking to themselves, How unfair is it for this man to get all the benefits when we are all men? How can he be handsome and have a great build while looking elegant, smart, and rich?
Nevertheless, Elliot had his arms crossed gracefully before his gaze landed on Jared. At that moment, his gaze was gentle and soft, as if he was really staring at his own son.
Right after the headmistress finished giving her speech, the teachers started bringing the kids up on stage for their class performances. For the Grade 3 class, every child came up as adorable looking angels before the Grade 2 class children came in dancing adorably to a lovely song, and Jared was part of it as well.
Following that, the youngest children who were in Grade 1 came on stage before a few of them started crying, causing some of the parents below the stage to start chuckling as Anastasia giggled as well. When she looked up and met the gaze of Elliot, who was sitting next to her, she suddenly noticed that he had a gentle look on his usually cold face.
“Alright. We want our parents to change into the outfits prepared for the activities later on because our family activities are starting soon.”
After getting the outfits, everyone, including Elliot, went to the washroom to change. A while later, everyone came out while Elliot stood in the middle of the crowd in a yellow t-shirt. Although he was just wearing an ordinary t-shirt, he made it look somewhat expensive, as if it cost tens of thousands.
Even Anastasia took a few more glances at Elliot. It was rare to see him in such a sight, and she really wanted to take a picture of him as a keepsake.
“We would like to request for parents to stand next to their children because we are starting our first round of family activities now.”
When Elliot went over to stand next to Jared, the boy gave him a hug happily while Anastasia heard the pair of women next to her gossiping. “He’s the hottest dad I’ve ever seen.”
“I know, right? I thought he was some celebrity initially!”
Then, they gave Anastasia an envious look before one of them mustered up the courage to go toward Anastasia and asked, “Is that your husband and son?”
Upon hearing that, Anastasia felt her face flush a deep red before she nodded in acknowledgment. The first round of family activity was a dribbling game held on stage, and there would be three groups competing at the same time. Every child would be paired up with their fathers, and the fathers would need to pass the balls to their children, while the children would be needed to bring the balls to the endpoint.
All the parents below the stage were entertained when the competition started. When it was Elliot’s turn, he quickly threw off the two other father-and-son pairings with his fast movements, while Jared quickly carried the ball and dashed toward the endpoint, making them the winner of the round. Then, every winning group continued into the eliminations before Elliot and Jared finally ended up in the first place.
Upon seeing Jared’s pleased smile, Anastasia, who was below the stage, felt herself tearing up as this was her first time seeing Jared looking so proud and pleased while the man next to Jared bent down to wipe Jared’s sweat off gently. At this moment, she finally came to a realization that she really owed Jared for not providing him with a complete family.
