They had finished planting the second sapling at the time.
As Roxanne got up to hand him the third sapling, a commotion broke out not too far away.
“Ms. Pearson? What are you doing here?” Pippa exclaimed in shock when she saw Aubree at the entrance.
Aubree was wearing a fancy red dress and a pair of expensive sunglasses that complemented her wavy hair.
She walked up to Pippa before taking her sunglasses off and scanning the crowd. “Lucian said the kindergarten has organized a parent-child activity today. I’m worried about Essie, so I came rushing over as quickly as I could. Where are they?”
Pippa pointed in Roxanne’s direction and replied, “Over there with Archie and
Benny. Essie likes them so much that she doesn’t want to be separated from them, not even for this activity.”
The look in Aubree’s eyes turned cold when she heard that. She then thanked Pippa and quickly made her way toward Roxanne.
All the other parents were wearing sports attire to help their kids plant the saplings, so Aubree’s bright red dress drew a lot of attention as she walked past them.
Those who recognized her shifted their gaze toward Roxanne and prepared themselves for a good show.
Roxanne’s expression grew stiff when she saw Aubree storming toward them.
She knew Aubree wouldn’t give up so
easily, especially after hearing what she said on the phone last night. However, she didn’t expect her to show up like that.
“There you are, Lucian!” Aubree greeted him coquettishly while standing next to them.
