1302 False Accusation
It was now 4:30 p.m., and William had been waiting in front of Blue Sky Kindergarten, ready to pick Alia up and go ho.
Although it was very close to ho, Alia had only started attending this kindergarten a few days ago, so William planned to take her to and fro school every day.
After all, he had just resigned from his job and planned to stay ho and look after Alia, so he didn’t find it a chore.
Alia walked out of the school gate in a neat line, saw William, and scurried over to him. “Grandpa, did you co to pick up?”
!!
Smiling, William caught Alia and held her tiny hand. “Yes, how was school today? Did you get bullied? Is your teacher nice?”
Alia smiled happily. “My new teacher is really nice, and she gave a sticker today. She even praised for being good at math! My classmates are nice too. No one bullied ! This school is great!”
She had joy written all over her face.
Seeing how happy Alia was, William felt relieved and smiled heartily.
“Are we going ho now, or do you want to walk around the area?” William asked Alia gently.
Alia’s eyes lit up. “Can we look around for a bit before going ho?”
“Of course we can. We’ve just moved here, so it’ll be good to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings, lest you can’t find your way ho in the future,” William said.
It was still early now, and Lucas had hired a nanny to cook their als, so they didn’t need to hurry ho.
It had only been a few days since they moved to DC. He and Alia had never walked around the neighborhood before. They only knew that this residential district covered a huge area and had many anities. So he wanted to see what offerings there were near the community and kindergarten, such as supermarkets, fruit stores, or other facilities.
“Great! Grandpa, do you hear that? It’s so crowded over there. It sounds like soone is playing the flute. Let’s hurry over and take a look!” Alia had a sharp sense of hearing. She took William’s hand and pulled him toward the crowd.
After they passed by a lush and exuberant garden, many figures appeared in front of them.
It was an activity square in the community and covered an extrely large area. There were so pavilions and various stone tables and chairs in the pavilions. There were also so fitness equipnt for public use and children’s play facilities, such as seesaws, swings, and slides. Many people were gathered here.
So people were sitting at the stone tables and playing chess, so were chatting rrily, and so were playing musical instrunts. There were also so people dancing and doing yoga, while others fished by the river.
Most of the people here were elderly and children, so of whom were playing and skateboarding in the park. It was extrely lively.
Seeing this scene, William was elated. “It looks like this is a place for the elderly and children in the community. Alia, let’s go over too!”
“Wow! It looks really fun here, Grandpa! Let’s go take a look!” Alia cheered joyfully and pulled William over toward the children’s play area.
“Hey, Alia, slow down. Don’t fall! Also, we can only play for half an hour. We have to go ho for dinner later!” William reminded while following behind.
But seeing how happy Alia was, he rely shook his head and sighed, allowing Alia to go play on her own.
Back in the Carters’ house, Alia had been introverted and shy, and she didn’t dare to speak much. But since Lucas returned, took them away from the Carters, and doted on Alia endlessly, she beca bolder, bubblier, and loved to smile and laugh.
For example, half a year ago, Alia would never have dared to run over alone to play with a group of strange children in a new environnt within just two days or adapted so well to her new kindergarten.
Thinking of the changes in his granddaughter, William felt heartened. He sat on a chair in the park and smiled while watching Alia quickly making friends with the children and playing joyfully. From ti to ti, he would chat with so elderly people around him.
Ti passed by quickly. William looked at the ti on his watch. It was already ti for Lucas, Cheyenne, and Charlotte to get off work and go ho, so he walked over to bring Alia ho.
But as soon as he walked over, he discovered that almost all the children who had been playing with Alia had left. Alia walked over with a frown and whispered to William, “Grandpa, Tommy got into trouble. All the other kids ran away!”
William asked with bewildernt, “Is Tommy your new friend? What trouble did he get into?”
Before Alia could speak, a chubby boy ran over and said aggressively, “I didn’t get into trouble! You’re the one who broke the golden crown!”
It seed that this chubby boy was Tommy.
“You did it, not ! Look, you’re still holding it!” Alia retorted furiously after being slandered, pointing at the golden crown in the boy’s hand, her face as red as a tomato.
William looked at the object in the little boy’s hand and realized that the two children were referring to a trident-shaped car logo.
He looked around and found an extrely expensive Maserati car parked nearby, with its logo missing. It must be the item that the little boy was holding.
William understood his granddaughter’s character well. Alia would never lie. She said that the boy nad Tommy got into trouble, so Tommy must have broken the car logo.
Tommy was still holding the car logo tightly in his hand, so how could Alia be the one who broke it?
William felt that Tommy seed to have sothing wrong with his behavior and character. He even accused Alia as soon as he spoke. The smile on his face faded.
“Tommy, you’re still holding the logo in your hand. How can you talk nonsense? If you’ve made a mistake and accidentally broke the car logo, you have to be brave and bear the responsibility instead of accusing others. Got it?” William said.
The little boy was stunned for a mont, but he suddenly charged over and stuffed the trident logo into Alia’s hand. Imdiately afterward, he started bawling. “Waahhh! She’s holding the logo. She’s the one who broke it. But you’re bullying ! I’m gonna get Mommy to teach you a lesson!”
