Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 When You Heard My Call for Help, You Came Running

"Ms. Burton, you've seen the notification, right?" Mrs. Williams, who taught math in Class C, walked over and asked.

Adeline nodded and said, "I didn't expect to have home visits this year."

Speaking of home visits, it wasn't just the students who felt nervous and pressured. Parents found it troublesome, and teachers themselves weren't enthusiastic about it either.

After all, it meant going door-to-door for visits.

Mrs. Williams handed her a list and said, "The principal's thought is for the two of us to split the visits evenly. I came to discuss with you, to see which families you'll be visiting."

Adeline glanced at the addresses on the list, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mrs. Williams, how about us do the home visits together? You see, the school now advocates that teachers shouldn't accept gifts from parents. If the two of us go together, we can be witnesses for each other. Besides, some students live far away, and walking at night can be dangerous. If we go together, we can look out for each other on the way."

Mrs. Williams looked troubled and said, "Ms. Burton, if we split it up, it's about 20 households each. But if we go together, it's 45 households."

"It's exhausting only by thinking about it."

Mrs. Williams wasn't too enthusiastic.

She pulled out a chair and sat down, absentmindedly rubbing her belly, looking troubled, and continued, "And you see, I'm a late-age second-time mother. I've just gotten pregnant recently, and I can't withstand so much hassle."

Adeline was surprised and asked, "Mrs. Williams, you're pregnant?"

Mrs. Williams was already 42 years old.

She blushed slightly and nodded, "Well, you know, at my age, having a second child is tiring..."

"Alright, I understand. Mrs. Williams, since you're not feeling well, you can choose to visit the families nearby, and I'll take care of the rest."

"But... Is that okay?" Mrs. Williams was surprised and delighted.

"No problem. I have a driver at home. I'll have the driver take me. It won't be a hassle," Adeline smiled and looked at Mrs. Williams's belly.

Mrs. Williams touched her belly and said, "Thank you, Ms. Burton. After the baby is born, I'll treat you to something delicious."

"Sure."

Adeline smiled and agreed, then made a simple plan for visiting the students' addresses.

When it was time to leave work, Curtis had something come up, so he had Sara pick Adeline up instead.

On the way, Adeline curiously asked Sara, "Do you have any special self-defense tools?"
