Chapter 32
I recognized that little girl-she was Leah's younger sister, Seraphina Grant
My brows drew together, but I quickly regained my composure. I used to fantasize about having a family with Ethan, about waking up on a sunny morning and walking our children to school hand in hand
However, I shouldn't have allowed myself such fantasies, and I certainly shouldn't have seen Ethan as the one for me.
As Ethan and Seraphina walked closer, he noticed me. I immediately turned around and took another child's hand.
"Let's help you with your dance shoes," I said, bending down with a smile. The child nodded obediently, and I carefully helped her put on her soft dance shoes,
Right then, Ethan and Seraphina arved by my side, and he was staring straight at me. I could feel his intense gaze, but I remained calm and composed.
"Are you working here part-time?" he asked out of the blue. However, I didn't respond. My cold demeanor might have irked him as his gaze seemed to darken further. After all, we would go our separate ways after summer break, and our chances of seeing each other again would be stim. I was eager to cut ties with him.
Noticing that I was ignoring him, Ethan pushed Seraphina toward me. "Ms. Wiley, could you help Sera with her dance shoes?"
He looked at me expectantly, and frowned. Nevertheless, I wordlessly helped Seraphina put on the dance shoes she gave me. Seraphina looked a lot like Leah, but she seemed much more lively.
It was obvious that he was making a real effort to bond with his future family. I could only blame myself for not seeing his love for Leah back then. I had foolishly chased after him and ultimately faced a tragic end. "How's Sera doing in her dance classes, Ms. Wiley?" he inquired again.
"She's doing well," Icesponded curtly without looking at him. Then, I led the children into the classroom before he could respond.
I could feel his burning gaze through the door. Was he worried that I would pick on Seraphina?
The first day of class wasn't too demanding, and the next day, I arrived at the dance studio on time. Ethan was the one to drop Seraphina off again. Still, I kept my distance and awooded any contact with him.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
I taught the class how to carraheel and had them practice it. The students lined up and had a go. All of them naled IL Just them, Seraphina bit her lip and hesitantly extended her hand.
"Don't be afraid. You can do this," I reassured her, noticing that she seemed a bit distracted in class,
Seraphina attempted an aerial cartwheel but lost her balance mid-air and came crashing down to the ground. Chaos empted as everyone panicked. I wasted no time in calling for an ambulance
Seraphina was bawling her eyes out, and I consoled her as accompanied her to the hospital. While I was waiting outside the operating room, a middle-aged woman stormed up to
1. ME.
"How could y you be so crue? I can't believe you actually dared to hurt my precious daughter! You're unforgivable!"
The middle-aged woman was Leah's mother, Elizabeth Thompson, and she launched into a tirade against me "ther you did this on purpose, you vicious bitch!"
