Chapter 1183: E

The Cardinal Family got dressed, Leo was the last to get ready after the shower and everything, because he had to look after the twins and also cook the meal for Lily. Today, they had a few things to do, Lily would be promoted to the first grade, and he had to visit the school to get her documentations sorted and sign on the official documents.

Another thing was to meet with the neighbor whose property he was going to buy and sign the transfer deed. Then he would need to have look after the twins at home and play with them because he could not just ignore them daily. That was not what he wanted to do. The young man sighed, he watched Snow getting busy as soon as she sat down on the dining table and then she went out of the house with her assistant. However, just when she was about to cross the threshold, she came back and gave him a kiss.

Leo sighed, he knew this was the way his wife was making up for the anticipatory crime of not looking after herself, but he didn't stop her. Lily came over to his side and asked, "Baba, would you come to school first?"

Leo nodded gently and said, "Yes, your things are much more important than anything else. Come, I will come over to meet your new principal and then go for another meeting."

Lily nodded, but at this moment the young man said, "I will take the twins out today, they have been staying home far too long."

Lily nodded in agreement, she wanted to go out with Leo as well, but the sad fact was, that she had school to attend. Leo told her to wait and then he went upstairs before he put them all in his sling and then the family headed out in the sigil embossed car. Kyle was the driver, and Leo asked, "Jock and the rest, when will they be coming over?"

Kyle replied, "Chief Markus said it was better for him to stay there and handle things there, it was not necessary for them to come over here since we will have the other team from the government as well, however, there are a lot of things at the house so they should protect it."

Leo thought for a bit and then he nodded, after all, Markus was not a security head for nothing. There was a chance that some people might try to attack the house or rob it. Nobody knew how crazy humans can be. While they were talking Lily asked, "Uncle Kyle, when do you think you will be going ahead to propose to Aunt June? Or do you want her to stay single for another year?"

Kyle shivered and replied, "Young Miss, I will be asking her when she comes here, I had ordered a ring and now that ring is ready. I was only waiting for that."

Lily nodded in satisfaction and said, "You are smarter than Uncle Elvin, I swear, had it not been me, that man would still be single."

The young man took a deep breath and smiled, he knew that Lily cared for him, and was thankful for it. They reached the school, and Leo walked in with the children in his arms. Many students saw this, some girls even smiled at the twins and Lily, well, the trio was adorable, but some senior students couldn't help but check out Leo, thankfully they all noticed the Sigil Pin on his lapel and also Lily's lapel. The students in this school were called the cream of the capital, not because they came from big families but because they were up to date on what was happening outside, and since that was the case, how could they not recognize Leo?

The young man sighed, after a few minutes, they reached the principal's office, and Leo knocked at the table outside. The peon raised his head to look at Leo and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"

Leo replied calmly, "My name is Leo Cardinal, I have come to settle the transfer my daughter from Angkor City branch to here. Can you guide me to the principal?"

The peon stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, I will check with the principal."

That said, the peon stood up and knocked on the door and after someone spoke, he went inside and came out shortly. He smiled at Leo and said, "You can go in, Sir."

Leo thanked the peon and went inside the room with a calm stride. On the other side, a middle-aged woman was standing with her hands crossed in front of her chest. She smiled and said, "Hello, Mister Cardinal."

Leo nodded and reached out to shake her hand before she led him to sit down on the couch. She saw the twins were tied up in a sling, but before she could say anything. Leo skillfully took off the sling and asked, "Would it be alright if I let them wander in your office? They have been tied up for too long."

The lady didn't mind and nodded, they had a small talk, and the principal asked Lily a few questions, the young miss replied to everything with a smile and wit. The principal was won over, and then they signed the documents before the principal personally took Lily to her classroom. Leo didn't stay for long, after meeting with Lily's class teacher, he decided to head back and, on the way, he called, June, who connected him with Cail, the neighbor.

...

Trevor Hymn left the room, and Dawn's sudden change in personality made the rest of the students fall silent. They were using a messaging app to talk to each other about what had happened. Dawn was watching all this, and he was amused.

A few minutes later, Saffron entered the class with a surprised expression. Everyone saw her, but they did not speak. Saffron was kind, but the people did not interact much with her. She still had a few who would drop by to have small talk, and if it were about Dawn, they would inform her quickly.

Saffron had placed a reward system. She would reward anyone who gave her any Dawn-related news in her absence. She would give them a few meals on the card. Right now, when she received the word that Trevor wanted to beat Dawn, the latter threw him over as if it was an easy task.

She walked up to Dawn and gazed at him from head to toe. The young man asked, "What is it?"

Saffron asked, "Would you tell me what is going on? How did you beat up Trevor?"

Dawn smiled and said, "I did not beat him. He tripped and fell. You can ask others, and they see it all."

Dawn gazed at the students, and they all nodded again like chicks. Saffron was surprised at how the students were acting. Never has anyone dared to stand against Trevor. She was perplexed and sat down in her seat. Soon, the class was in session, and all the seats were filled.

The last person to enter the room was a middle-aged man. He was the teacher, Hank Greens. He wore a subtle brown suit with a few traces of time on his face. His sideburns were turning gray. This person was in charge of the class, and he taught everyone mathematics. He disliked those who slacked in school, and Dawn was one of those who, according to him, slacked.

Hank looked at Dawn and found the young man gazing back at him. This was surprising because Dawn would usually keep his gaze down. He said in a deep voice, "We will now begin the roll call."

Then Hank called for every student individually, and all of them responded. When he was about to close the register, Dawn raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, Sir. You did not call out my name."

Everyone was surprised to see that Dawn caught it. Hank used this method to test the student's attentiveness. Usually, when Dawn was skipped, he would not catch it and would be punished. This time, he caught it, and Hank said, "Good that you noticed, Mr. Celestus."

Hank made a mark before Dawn's name and closed the register. Then, he told everyone to bring out their textbooks and notebooks before he began showing them how to solve the sums.

Dawn followed the instructions and, without any trouble, followed the lead. In the past, he lacked confidence and was severely depressed, so even when he knew how to solve the problems, he would make a blunder.

Hank wrote a question on the board and asked, "Who can solve it?"

A few people raised their hands, and Saffron was among them. What surprised her was that Dawn raised his hand, too. Hank was surprised and asked, "Mr. Celestus, do you know the punishment for disturbing the class?"

Surprised, Dawn asked, "Sir, how did I disturb the class?"

Trevor sat in the front row and smirked when he saw this. He wanted to see what Hank would do to Dawn after this. Many other people also wanted to see how this situation would unfold.

Hank replied, "You raised your hand, but do you know the answer to this question? If not, then are you not disturbing the class?"
