When Anna returned home, Daniel's thin and clumsy look and his graying hair kept coming to her mind. She was inexplicably in a bad mood.
She hid in her room and sat there in a trance.
Watching the sunset gradually turned red as if a magic wand gilded everything with a shimmering golden color, she slowly calmed down.
Ethan, who had just come back home after work, walked to Anna, raised his eyes to look at the western sky, and said in a warm voice.
"The preschool called me today."
"What’s up?"
Anna looked at the reddish sky and her tone was extraordinarily calm.
"Gemma will be four years old after the New Year. She can study in the pre-kindergarten."
Ethan gently signed, "How time flies! I can't imagine that in the future she'll be in the kindergarten, the primary school, the middle school..."
"At that time I will become an old man and we will have grey hair. We could enjoy the warmth of the sunset with our grandchildren around us."
Although Anna was a little sad, she fantasied with expectation.
"We would be old year by year." Ethan slowly turned around and quietly looked at Anna.
Her fair skin carried a placid and noble temperament. The red sunset shone on her side face, as if she was gilded with a golden light.
She was so dazzling that she attracted his eyes.
"But no matter what you look like in the future, you are the most beautiful woman in my heart."
The sudden confession made Anna's cheeks slightly blushed.
"I'll be very happy if you don't think I am ugly when I become an old woman. Let's go downstairs to ask Gemma how she feels about this arrangement."
Anna extended a hand towards Ethan generously and smiled at him.
Ethan held Anna's arm and immediately stood up. He grabbed her hand and walked towards the living room with big steps.
Although it was only a few steps, he selfishly wanted the short, simple yet happy time to stay forever.
He wanted the time to stay forever with Anna.
Gemma was fine with her schooling arrangement. But after Liam's spy heard about it, he hurriedly told Liam.
Liam deliberately blocked Anna's way back to the company from negotiation. He pulled Anna to a quiet cafe with slightly dim light, which was decorated in a n artistic style.
"Gemma's IQ and EQ are like mine. She is very smart. S o it's actually a waste of time if she continues to study in the pre-kindergarten."
Folding his long legs elegantly, Liam tasted the coffee i n front of him calmly and indifferently.
However, Anna held the coffee cup tightly. Staring at the man in front of her contemptuously, she retorted," She should go to the pre-kindergarten. One should be down-to-earth. Haste makes waste."
"It's totally different. It's to increase the benefits and perfect the results of one thing." Liam looked at Anna with his deep eyes. He tapped lightly on the table with his long and delicate fingertips.
