Joshua and Luna both froze as they heard Neil's confession. Even the teacher who stood behind them gaped at the sudden turn of events.
Who would have thought something like that would happen? Luna rubbed her brows in exasperation, thinking to herself, 'What kind of scheming children did I give birth to? Haven't I told them countless times that they shouldn't eat junk food like this?'
"It's all my fault, Daddy," sulked Nellie. "Class was really boring, and the lunch I had wasn't yummy at all.
I overheard another kid talking about eating fried chicken with his mommy and daddy, so I wanted fried chicken too, but..."
Disappointment clouded Nellie’s gaze. "I knew that you wouldn't let me have fried chicken because it's not healthy, so I asked Neil to help..."
The anger on Joshua’s face dissipated. After a moment's hesitation, he heaved a deep sigh and stared at his daughter. "You're such a mischievous girl," he said in a tender voice.
"This was all just a misunderstanding, Mr. Lynch," the teacher shot Joshua a nervous glance. "You're...not going to close our school down because of this, right?”
This was the first time this kindergarten had enrolled a student as important as the daughter of the famous
Joshua Lynch. All of the teachers were afraid that something terrible would happen, so as soon as Nellie injured herself, they immediately panicked and tried t o fulfill her every request. It was because of this that the two children were able to distract the nurse and teachers, ordering fried chicken without their knowing.
"He won't," Joshua did not respond to the teacher’s question, so Luna piped up instead. She heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at the teacher and nurse. "Thanks for your help. Everything's fine. You guys can go now."
