Chapter 568
Preschool life has quietly passed for over a week.
Parents no longer needed to accompany their children to school. Without
needing parental company, Natalie went to the base in the morning and picked up her son.
However, Sherri cannot accompany her daughter to the parent-child class every day. Hackett accompanied her since Sherri worked hard in the hospital and could not take several hours off daily.
Natalie, who was about to pick up her son at the base, held the car key. She did not change into a luxury car and continued driving the car her brother had bought for her. When she arrived at the parking lot, she opened the car door and was about to get in when she received a call from Ava.
“Hello, Ava.”
On the other end of the line, Ava was very excited. “Natalie, guess where I am?” Natalie held the phone in one hand and started the car with the other. She smiled and said with certainty, “Athana.”
“How do you know? I didn’t even tell you when I was coming. I just arrived. Is Jasper out of school? Natalie, I want to bring Jasper to eat delicious food.” She could feel her sister’s excitement through the screen.
“Soon. I’m on my way to pick them up now. Are you with Frank?” The car had already started.
Ava, ready to take the children out to play, heard the car’s sound on her phone. She quickly said, “Yeah, we are together. You don’t need to go, Frank and I will pick them up. You can continue working.”
The car had already started, but she turned off the engine upon hearing this. She was willing to let Ava go pick them up. “Sure, let Frank handle it, or else they might not come out with you.”
“Okay.”
After turning off the engine, Natalie opened the car door again and got out. He was about to return to the hospital to work when he sent a message to Trevon. [ Frank and Ava went to pick up Jasper already.]
Trevon replied,[Sure, give them an internship for free.]
[Seems like Ava really missed Jasper. What are you thinking about?]
Trevon said, [I meant Frank.]
A man and a woman stood at the entrance of WhizKid Preschool. Frank had informed them in advance. As the school gate opened, he led the girl to find
someone.

Hackett’s voice came from behind. “What’s going on? Why are you guys here to pick him up? Trevon’s child isn’t even coming to pick him up.” Hackett thought about how irresponsible Trevon was and wondered how he could be a good father.
Ava explained, “So nice to see you, Hackett! It’s me who wanted to bring Jasper out to play so I came here.”
Hackett casually nudged Frank meaningfully. “Are you on summer break now?”
Frank turned sideways. “Are you blind?”
“Yes, it’s summer vacation. I just arrived,” Ava explained patiently with a gentle smile.
Initially, Hackett was planning to tease Frank, thinking of saying that his child was just idling around while Ava took the initiative. However, seeing Ava’s
embarrassed expression, he refrained from saying it. She seemed sensitive, so he said, “Come on, I will bring you in.”
Under Hackett’s guidance, they arrived at Jasper’s classroom. The three of them stood outside, observing the scene inside. They saw Ruby following Jasper closely. Wherever Jasper went, Ruby followed.
Hackett’s face darkened when he saw this scene.
Meanwhile, Frank watched with interest, a subtle smile on his lips. He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, teasing Hackett, “Son-in-law acquired, childhood sweethearts?”
“Get lost. What does a kid know about?” Hackett clarified that he wouldn’t let his daughter be sent to Trevon’s house.
As soon as school ended, Ava stood at the door and shouted. She waved happily. “Jasper, I’m here.”
He carried his backpack with one hand and strolled towards the door. He glanced at Frank and slightly smiled at Ava. “Auntie.”
Ava took the initiative to explain, “Your mummy is a bit busy. I will take you out to eat delicious food, okay? It’s mainly because I missed you so much.”
Frank stood up straight and took the bag from Jasper. “Where do you want to go?”
Jasper, in a gentlemanly manner, remarked, “I’m open to anything. Up to my auntie.”
Hackett saw that his daughter also wanted to go and immediately suggested, “Let’s go together. It’s rare to meet you. Ava, you don’t mind, right?”
“Of course I don’t mind. Let’s go together!”
To pick up
the little guy, Frank changed to another car and drove a Porsche. However, he still carefully carried Jasper into the backseat with one hand. “Sit properly.”
“Frank, I’ll sit behind.” Ava wanted to chat with Jasper.

“Okay,” Frank replied, and started the car. He didn’t have to watch it as closely as Trevon.
Frank drove ahead, followed by Hackett. In the car, Ava asked again, “Jasper, do you have any specific cravings?”
“You arrange it.” Jasper was still a gentleman and gave the initiative to Ava.
“Why are you so obedient? Is there any place in Frank that’s especially suitable for children to eat and play?” She really needed to learn more about Athana’s delicacies. In addition, she was not familiar with the route. At most, she knew a little about the places Frank had taken her to, but they were unsuitable for children to eat.
