A Lifetime With You - Chapter 55

After school ended, Edith texted Neil about her plan to head over to the He’s residence and received a green light. She discussed the matter with Old Tang and the elderly man drove her over to the He’s residence to wait for Aaron to arrive with the packaging that her grandfather had prepared for her.

Hazel stepped into the house and was surprised to see that her friend, Alex He was inside. “Alex, why are you here?”

Alex stared at the girl with the same surprised look. “This is my house. Why are you here?” He shifted his gaze to Edith and smiled brightly. “Auntie Edith!” His expression then changed upon realizing that the two were together. “Hazel, you’re with Auntie Edith?”

The little girl frowned slightly at hearing the way Alex was addressing her favorite teacher. She moved closer to Edith and held her hand tightly as if claiming her territory.

Lily, who stood at the side saw this exchanged and the corner of her lips twitched slightly. She nudged her friend at her waist and said, “It seemed that Hazel really liked you, huh?”

“Of course.” Edith looked at her friend with a proud expression. “I was voted as the children’s favorite teacher in the kindergarten last year.”

Lily rolled her eyes. She glanced at Hazel and whispered to her friend, “Will it be alright for you to take President Mo’s niece to my place?”

“Don’t worry. I told him I had a place to stop by, and he was alright with it,” Edith said. “As long as I looked after Hazel, it should be alright. Moreover, his driver came along with us.”

Lily led her friend into the living area and Hazel trailed closely after her. After a while, Hazel began to notice that Alex was around and there was a box of Gundam in his hands.

Previously, Alex had told her that their teacher liked to build the model as well, and seeing the box in his hand piqued her curiosity.

“Auntie Edith, are you here to help me build with my Gundam model?”

“Teacher Qian, you knew how to build them as well?” Edith asked.

“Your teacher is pretty good at it,” Lily said. A smile curled on her lips as she looked at the little girl. “She helped Alex to build a few models previously. If you wanted to see them, let Alex show them to you.” She turned to her son and raised a brow. “Why don’t you show those models to your friend?”

Alex alternated his gaze at the three of them and finally stopped at Hazel.

Although his relationship with Hazel was pretty good recently, it was the first time that a classmate came to his house. He had never shown his Gundam to anyone before. But, seeing the expectant look on everyone’s face, Alex then turned to Hazel. “You would you like to see the models that I built with Auntie Edith?”

Hazel’s glanced at her teacher as if asking for her opinion before she nodded.

“Then, you should come with me,” Alex said after a while. “My father let me store those models on the shelf. It wouldn’t be convenient for me to bring them out.”
