Trial Of The Senses - Chapter 458 Graduation Ceremony
At the end of the month, the blazing sun seemed to scorch the ground.
Ashley asked for leave from the director in advance. After breakfast in the hotel, she drove straight to the kindergarten of Nelson. Although she had calculated the time of the trip in advance, in order to prevent the traffic jam, she set out an hour earlier. So when she arrived at the kindergarten, it was still early, and almost no parents had arrived.
She parked the car on the side of the road and took a sip of the mineral water that was blown cold by the air conditioner to cool herself down. She set an alarm clock on her mobile phone, put down the sunshade in the car, and adjusted the height of the seat. Ashley leaned against the seat and began to sleep. It was already two o’clock in the morning when she returned to the hotel after the shooting last night. It would take another hour for her to go to bed and rest. Now that she had arrived at the place, there was still a while before the ceremony began. She planned to catch up on sleep.
Since Jasper was in the city, he didn’t have to come here as hard as Ashley, so he went to work as usual. After lunch with the executives, he worked for a while. He didn’t leave for the kindergarten until it was about time.
There were already many cars and parents gathering in front of the kindergarten.
With a pair of big sunglasses on the bridge of Jasper’s nose and a mask on the lower part of his face, he walked out of the car with his long legs. Expectedly, he attracted the attention of a group of parents. Among these parents, there might be many beautiful women, but it was rare to see a man so young and tall.
Jasper looked around and saw Ashley’s car about twenty meters away. He immediately felt happy, but this joy was not pure, mixed with unwillingness and joy. He thought for a while and finally walked towards the car.
Leaning against the seat, although Ashley was tired physically and mentally, her consciousness was struggling between half asleep and half awake. It was as if half of her consciousness was asleep, and the other half was still watching the world. She even faintly knew that there were more and more parents at the school gate. It was not a good feeling. Her spirit was torn and her head was dizzy.
“Rat-a-tat.” There seemed to be two knocks on the window.
Ashley frowned and her steady breath was disturbed.
“Rat-a-tat.” Again.
Her fingers on her belly moved. Her consciousness, which had been torn by both sides, finally had the upper hand. When she regained her consciousness, she took a long breath and struggled to move her stiff and aching body. She opened her eyes and turned to look at the left window, where the middle part of a man’s body was exposed.
Ashley’s heart beat fast. It was Jasper.
Although she didn’t see the man’s face, the man’s figure and way of dressing were undoubtedly Jasper.
Seeing that the woman was about to wake up, Jasper stood far away from the car. After about three minutes, the door was opene
h better.
“You… You… ” The woman forced a smile and said, “Are you sure you don’t have time?”
“Hmm.” Jasper didn’t open his mouth but uttered a word.
“Oh, I see…” The woman retreated reluctantly and frustrated, “… Since you are busy, I won’t bother you. ” The woman left so slowly that she looked back repeatedly at every step.
When the woman finally left Jasper and Ashley, people around looked at them more carefully.
“…… They are really a couple. Both of them are so arrogant and keep others away from them. ”
“Do you think people like them are always so indifferent to each other? Then how can they live together? ”
The joyful atmosphere of gossiping soon infected the whole gate of the kindergarten. Two of them stood still as if they could not hear what others were talking about.
Although the parents had a strong desire to gossip, the head teacher had left the campus, and the time for the graduation ceremony had quietly come.
“Dear parents, the children are ready. Please follow their head teacher to the appointed place and have a seat.” The security guard at the door shouted.
The electronic gate of the school was opened bit by bit under the remote control. The parents at the gate also walked out of the shade of the tree, and slowly exposed themselves to the blazing sun following their head teachers.
Ashley and Jasper were in the end. The two of them didn’t want to be too eye-catching here.
With a name list in her hand, the head teacher of Nelson led the parents inside while turning around frequently to check if there were any omissions. When she saw the name of Nelson’s parents, she naturally saw Ashley and Jasper walking beside her.
The head teacher asked her colleagues to help her lead the team, and then slowed down her pace to match with Jasper and Ashley. “Is this Nelson’s father? This is the first time we meet. I’m the head teacher of Nelson.”
“Hello.” Obviously, Jasper treated the head teacher much better than the woman just now.
