Nia Mitchell instantly let go of her hand and started running forward.
"Haha, Uncle, you better catch quickly, or you won’t find later. My phone is in the car, okay?"
Nia giggled and took off running.
That darn Rabina!
Maxwell Peary’s face instantly turned dark, but he still moved forward unhurriedly.
Running like this in the school, what sort of decorum is this?
Besides, he certainly didn’t want to look so disheveled.
He ca just for a stroll, why was she being so hasty?
Watching her distant figure, she really still looked like a child.
Maxwell thought to himself, this version of Nia, always so full of energy, made him reluctant to see her change.
She was already like this, she shouldn’t be like him, suppressing everything.
He would protect everything about her, including her current personality.
Without saying anything more, he began to walk forward, step by step, like a victorious king strolling through his kingdom.
Nia Mitchell stopped after running a distance, panting slightly, and turned to look back but couldn’t spot Maxwell anywhere.
The CEO really isn’t running, is he?
She had just made a lot of turns earlier, might he not be able to find her?
Nia frowned, unsure of what to do.
Go back to find him?
No way, if she went back now, wouldn’t that be too embarrassing for her?
Humph!
In the end, Nia decided to keep moving forward and arrived at the classroom where she had been during her freshman year.
How nostalgic the old days were.
Nia mischievously took out her phone; she had lied to the CEO earlier about her phone being in the car, haha.
She snapped a picture, edited it, and sent it straight to Charles Northwood and Fiona Sutton.
In an instant, Fiona’s call ca through.
"You rascal, you went back to the Fourth Middle School, why didn’t you invite ?"
Fiona said with resentnt, proudly watching Charles Northwood on the other side.
Charles Northwood shook his head helplessly and put down his phone.
The screen on the phone was clearly the calling page.
In other words, just now they both called Nia at the sa ti, but Fiona’s reaction was faster by just a second.
So proud indeed.
Fiona made a face at Charles Northwood.
"I ca with my uncle, why would I invite you?"
Fiona: ...
Charles Northwood, here, this call is for you, you answer it.
This ungrateful person, really just here to show off her love.
"Can’t you stop ntioning your uncle in every sentence?"
Fiona deliberately emphasized "your uncle," and her words were dripping with sarcasm.
Nia burst out laughing, her face full of sweetness.
"Alright, I won’t ntion it. By the way, when should we co here to hang out together? It’s been so long since we ca back."
Indeed, it’s really been a long ti.
The three of them hadn’t been back to D City in four years.
"Sure, I’ve been planning to settle back in D City after graduation."
Nia was taken aback, unable to accept it for a mont.
No, Fiona never ntioned this before.
"You said you’re going back to D City? Why? Why not stay and work in Capital Town?"
Nia imdiately asked.
Fiona was montarily stunned but didn’t feel ashad of her situation.
"I’m pregnant and unmarried, so I definitely can’t work for now. The cost of living in Capital Town is so high, I just can’t adapt. It’s better to go back to the little place that is D City."
"You can live with ."
She didn’t want to be separated from Fiona.
"Silly girl, I can’t rely on you guys forever."
