Chapter 21
“Julian, that bastard! He froze your cards!” Zara couldn’t hold back her anger.
you spent years sacrificing for that family, and what do you get in return? He’s never even bought you flowers. Meanwhile, he spends more money on fireworks for Susan than he’s ever spent on you!”
Estelle replied, “I take care of someone else’s child and get paid for it. I take care of them and my card gets frozen.”
Zara had never been married. But after seeing the life Estelle was living after marriage, she was starting to think she never wanted to be.
Estelle had married into a wealthy, powerful family. If she had married into a normal household, wouldn’t she have to work full–time, do all the housework, and raise the children? And to top it all off, she would be resented by her husband and child too?
Zara was lost in thought when Estelle spoke again.
“A woman can only truly stand tall when she’s financially independent, otherwise, even your own son won’t respect you.”
This was indeed the truth.
After a pause, Zara nodded. “I’m actually between jobs right now too. If you need anything, call me anytime.”
“Zara, thank you.”
Zara waved her off casually. “There’s no need to be polite, Our relationship is beyond that.”

She smiled and replied, “Thank you, Thomas,”
Thomas opened the car door for them. “Ms. Summer, you’re too kind.”

About 20 minutes into the drive, Estelle began to notice something familiar about the route. It looked… exactly Estelle couldn’t help but ask, “Thomas, which kindergarten does Bean attend?”
Sean had only recently moved to Sarvinis. The documents Michael had sent her the night before hadn’t specified the name of the kindergarten
Thomas smiled. “It’s just up ahead, Line Royal Kindergarten.”
Estelle’s brows furrowed slightly. Tobias went there too.
Little Royal undergarten was the best kindergarten in Sarvinia.
Anyone who got in was either from extreme wealth or an elite family with deep–rooted influence. You couldn’t secure a spot just by having money or
rpower alone. Estelle had already figured that Michael wasn’t just some onlinary businessman, but now, She realized that his background might be far more powerful than she had originally thought
Slie personally walled Sean to the kindergarten gate and instinctively gave him a few words of advice. ” anything happens, call me, alight? the nice to your
classmates. I’ll be here to pick you up after school
Sean nodded, but be kept glancing back at her every few steps.
Estelle was caught in a Trance. It reminded her of when Tobias had first started kindergarten. He had been the same, clinging to her and reluctant to leave. But at soise point, thingsslanged Tobias no longer answered her instnictions with obedient noth.
