Chapter 37 

“That’s right,” she replied, though she couldn’t miss the relief that flashed across his face. 

“Cool,” Alex said, turning back to his phone, his excitement bubbling over as he continued chatting with Linda. 

He felt better, probably because he thought he would then go to Linda’s place and enjoy her company instead… 

When they arrived at the practice field, Alex hopped out of the car and disappeared toward the locker room without so much. as a glance back. 

Sarah shook her head and made her way to speak with Alex’s new coach about his progress, 

The building stood tall and proud, its red–brick façade framed by neatly trimmed hedges and rows of flowering shrubs. 

The early morning sunlight cast a warm glow over the arched windows and ivy covered walls, giving the structure a welcoming charm. 

A large clock tower rose from the center of the building, its golden hands ticking rhythmically. 

The sound of children’s laughter filled the crisp air, blending harmoniously with the chirping birds and the distant hum of car 

engines. 

The playground buzzed with energy. 

Children of all ages darted across the field, their colorful backpacks bouncing with each step. 

A group of younger kids gathered around the swings, giggling as they tried to see who could swing the highest. 

Near the sandbox, a cluster of preschoolers dug tunnels and built castles, their tiny hands caked with sand. 

Older students, meanwhile, played a lively game of tag, their sneakers kicking up a fine layer of dust. 

Parents lingered by the drop–off zone, some kneeling to adjust a wayward scarf or plant a quick kiss on a forehead before hurrying back to their cars. 

SUVS and sedans lined the street, engines idling as drivers waved goodbye to their children 

Others walked hand in hand up the stone path, taking a moment to chat with fellow parents or the occasional teacher who had come out to supervise. 

Near the entrance, Sarah stood with her usual calm composure, her light jacket catching the breeze. 

She watched the cheerful chaos, a small smile playing on her lips. 

Suddenly, a small hand suddenly gripped her leg. 

Startled, Sarah looked down to see Brian, a cheerful little boy with messy brown hair and bright eyes. 

“Hi, Miss Sarah!” he chirped, hugging her leg tightly. 

Sarah’s face lit up. “Brian! How are you, sweetheart?” she asked, crouching down to his level. 

Brian beamed. “Good! You saved me that day, remember? I wanted to say thank you again.”

“Of course I remember.” Sarah said, smiling warmly. “I’m so glad you’re doing well.” 

Their conversation was light and playful, with Brian’s natural charm drawing laughter from Sarah. 

She barely noticed Alex approaching until he roughly shoved Brian aside. 

“Get away from her,” Alex snapped, his voice sharp. 

Brian stumbled but caught himself with surprising agility, his eyes narrowing at Alex. 

Sarah immediately grabbed Brian’s arm to steady him, her protective instincts kicking in. 

“Brian, are you okay?” she asked, concern evident in her tone. 

Brian nodded, brushing himself off. “I’m fine,” he said calmly, shooting a challenging look at Alex. 

Alex’s face flushed with anger. 

He opened his mouth to retort but stumbled on his words as he realized how Sarah had rushed to Brian’s side instead of his. 

The sight of her holding Brian’s hand and fussing over him made his chest tighten with an unfamiliar bitterness. 

“You didn’t have to help him,” Alex mumbled, his voice low but edged with resentment. 

Sarah turned to him, her brow furrowing. “Alex, what’s gotten into you? Brian’s just a little boy.” 

“He’s not as innocent as you think,” Alex muttered darkly, his eyes locked on Brian.
