It was practically a given that Renee's family would win the game today because their charming costumes would

definitely earn them high marks.

"I think so too. We'll be the champions for sure! Adie, Abby... Let's do our best!" Renee said to her children eagerly.

Miss Apple then turned to look at Quinton, and was mesmerized by his good looks. Blushing, she asked shyly,11 Sir,

are you Adie and Abby’s father? You're so handsome." She had taken over Adie and Abby's class during the

previous semester, so she usually only met Margaret. She had no idea what Adie and Abby's father looked like.

"Umm... he is-" Renee started awkwardly, but Quinton interrupted her.

"Yeah, I'm Adie and Abby's father," he said firmly.

"Great, because we need the kids' parents to help them complete their tasks today. The rules are that only the kids'

parents can join the competition, and relatives and friends can only watch and cheer them on,” Miss Apple

explained.

"Understood, Miss Apple. We'll try our best,” Quinton replied with a smile. He had learned of this specific rule

beforehand which was why he was pretending to be Adie and Abby's father for now. He knew that the children

would be disappointed if they couldn't join the competition, and he didn't want that.

However, Renee was a little upset by that rule. "Miss Apple, I think that rule isn't very nice."

"Why’s that, Miss Everheart?" Miss Apple asked.

"The divorce rate is so high nowadays. Some kids live with their mother, father, or even their grandparents. Can't

they join this competition? Isn't that rule a little discriminatory?" Renee knew for a fact that the current divorce rate

had risen tremendously. If the kindergarten discriminated against children from divorced families, many of the

children would suffer. To Renee, it was an extremely outdated concept.

"Miss Everheart, I understand your concerns, butthat won't happen at Monte Perry Kindergarten because we're

very strict about the students' backgrounds here. Generally, children from the kind of families you talked about

won't be allowed to attend this kindergarten. Besides, the rule is just there to prevent any cheating during the

game. It's unfair for the other parents, don't you think?" Miss Apple didn't know about the complicated situation in

Adie and Abby's family, and she had no idea that her words had hurt Renee.

"But..." Renee wanted to argue but Quinton stopped her.

Quinton leaned in close to her ear and warned her, "Forget it, Renee, ordinary people won't understand. Besides,

the kids are still studying here, so let's not make a fuss."

"Well, I just wonder why they're so prejudiced towards single families. Are we living in ancient times?" Renee huffed

sulkily, far from appeased.

"It's very normal. The parents here are elites, so naturally, they'll want their kids to live in a harmonious and loving

environment. They'll always want the best for their kids," Quinton replied rationally. His calm pacifism was a stark

contrast to his past self, who would have definitely argued and made a scene.

For a moment, Renee felt helpless.
