Going to school
Peter arrived at his villa around ten o’clock at night. He desperately wanted to see his children, but it was too late. As a result, he went to his room. He went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. He had a long day today. He recalled his conversation with Natasha while standing in the shower. Lotus despised that night so much that she considered terminating her pregnancy. He wouldn’t have any children if it weren’t for Natasha. In frustration, Peter wanted to scream. He is unable to tell Lotus that he is the father of her children. After about an hour, Peter emerged from the restroom. He immediately went to the balcony to check on Lotus. But her balcony was deserted.
Peter returned to his room. He put on his pajamas and went to bed. But he was a long way from falling asleep. As a result, he decided to text Lotus.
“Are you asleep?”
He expected no response because it was nearly midnight, but he received one within a minute.
“No, I was putting the finishing touches on a design. Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?” Lotus responded.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Peter quickly typed a response, “I couldn’t get to sleep. I’m feeling agitated. Could you please come to the balcony? I’d like to see you.”
Peter waited five minutes after sending the text, but Lotus did not respond. Just as he was about to give up hope, he received a phone call from Lotus.
“Hello. I thought you have fallen asleep.” Peter said after receiving the call.
“I am waiting for you on the balcony for the last five minutes,” Lotus said from the other side of the call.
Andrew got down from the bed and rushed toward the balcony. Lotus was standing on the opposite balcony. Peter put the phone in his ear.
“Thank you for coming. I was feeling alone.” Peter said.
“I want to thank you for playing with James and Jenny. I didn’t see them this happy after shifting here.” Lotus said on the phone.
“Have you found any good school for them?” Peter wanted to know about his kids.
“Stanley sent a list and I chose the nearest one as they are still so young. It is a private school.”
“Would you mind if I go with you tomorrow?”
“You want to go? If you want to then I don’t have any problem.”
“Okay then go back to sleep. Good night.”
After that, they both went to sleep.
Lotus P. O. V
As usual, I awoke early in the morning. I did some yoga before making a cup of coffee. It was 7. 30 a. m. when I checked the time. Monica entered the living room as I sat on the couch, sipping my cup.
“Good morning, sweetheart.”Monica wishes me.
“Monica, good morning. Have you gotten enough sleep?” I asked her.
“Yes. What would you like for breakfast?” She asked me.
“I’m fine with anything. Tell the maid to make something sweet for the kids because it’s the first day of school.” I told her.
“Okay. When are you going to take them to school? Should I rouse them?” Monica asked me.
“No, don’t. Let them sleep on it. The classes will begin at 11 a. m.” I told her.
“Do you want me to accompany you?” Monica asked me.
“Don’t worry, Peter said he’d accompany me.” I simply replied to her.
“You and Peter get along great,” Monica said. I frowned at her.
“That is not the case. We are simply good friends.” I wanted to make everything clear.
“Lotus, he is concerned about you. A friend would not want to be responsible for your children.” Monica said and I burst into laughter.
“Monica, going to school with us is not a responsibility. You’re starting to become like Natasha, don’t you?” I said while laughing at her.
Third-person P. O. V
Lotus exited the living room and went to her room after saying that. She showered and changed into business attire. Their project will begin today, so she will need to go to the construction site later. Lotus chose a simple office suit as a result.
Lotus went into the children’s room after getting ready and woke them up. They made a fuss about waking up on another day, but today they were excited about going to school, so they didn’t make a fuss. Monica and Lotus assisted the child in getting dressed after they had freshened up. They then all make their way to the dining room.
When they were about to leave the house after breakfast, they noticed Peter standing in front of their door. After seeing Peter, both of the children became happy.
“Will you accompany us to the new school, Uncle Peter?” James was first to ask.
“Yes, I will go with you guys. Let’s go or else we will be late for school.” Peter said to the kids. He was more excited than the kids about their new school. He even made some research about this school.
Lotus was on her way to the garage to get into a car when she noticed Peter’s assistant Tom, who was standing in her driveway with a black Range Rover. Lotus raised an eyebrow at Peter, who inquired as to what was going on.
“I thought that if we all drove to school together, it would be more enjoyable for the kids. I’ve even installed baby seats in the car. Tom will drive your car to school, and then we will part ways.” Peter blabber everything to Lotus in nervousness.
Lotus chuckled as she noticed Peter’s nervousness. He’s looking adorable right now. Who can say no to this cute man? Tom got out of Peter’s car and handed him the keys. Lotus smiled as she threw her keys at Tom. Then she went to the back seat of Peter’s Range Rover carrying Jack with her. Peter picked up Jenny and carried her to the other side of the car. Tom hurriedly opened the door for them. Both of them settled the kids securely on the backseat of the car. Lotus was going to the passenger side of the car but Peter was fast. He rushed to the passenger side and opened the door for Lotus like a true gentleman. Soon they drove off and To tailing behind them in Lotus’s car.
Lotus and Peter, along with James and Jenny, were waiting in the Principal’s office. The children were quieter than usual. They were watching everything in the office. A middle-aged woman with a sweet smile soon entered the room.
“Mrs. Kent, good day. I received your email yesterday and am pleased to inform you that we have space in our schools for two more students.” Said the Principle with a smile. Lotus flushed hearing the word Mrs. On the other hand, Peter was enjoying everything.
“Thank you, Mrs. Morris, but I must correct you. Miss Kent, not Mrs.” Lotus corrected her.
“Oh, I mistook him for your husband. Because the children bear a striking resemblance to him.” Mrs. Moriss tried to reason herself. In reality, she is the kind of person who does not support children out of wedlock however nowadays many couples do not care about getting married she thought.
“No, he isn’t. He is a good friend of mine who offered to assist me with the kids.” Lotus explained to the Principal. The principal looked flushed for a moment after hearing this. But soon she regains her smiling face.
“That’s fantastic. You must complete this form.” The principal said while giving Lotus a piece of paper.
Jenny was sitting on her lap so it was difficult for Lotus to fill the paper. Peter took the initiative and volunteered to fill the form on behalf of Lotus. Lotus just shifted here from Australia a few days ago so she has to put a name of a local guardian of the kids. Lotus was thinking about putting Natasha’s name however Peter wrote his name in that box with his contact number. Lotus didn’t say a word in front of the principal but Peter knew well what she was thinking. Soon the paperwork was complete Peter gave the paper to Lotus for double-checking. Then he gave the paper to the principal. The Principal read the paper carefully before asking.
“You are Mr. Robinson from Robinson group?” The Principal asked Peter with astonishment.
“Yes, I am,” Peter replied shortly making the principal gasp.
“Your company gives a large amount to our school every year.” She said with a flattery smile.
“We donate to a lot of schools. It’s a family tradition from our ancestors.” Peter replied nonchalantly. The Principal just nodded to his statement.
“How long will it take to complete the procedure? The children are getting bored sitting here.” Lotus said as she was getting bored by the flattery of the Principal.
“We are done. Let me show you the classroom of the children.” The principal said while getting up from her chair. She led them to a classroom where a young teacher was talking to children. When the teacher noticed the Principal she came to the door.
“This is Miss Elena. She is the class teacher of James and Jenny. Miss Elena these are your new student James and Jenny.” Introduced the Principal.
“Good morning teacher,” said James and Jenny in unison.
“Awww they are so cute. Are they twins?” Asked the teacher and Lotus nodded in agreement.
“This is Miss Lotus Kent their mother. I will let you guys get along I have some other work. Excuse me.” The Principal Left them.
“Hello, Miss Elena. You can call me Lotus. This is my card if you need it you can call me anytime. Can I have your number in case of emergency?” Lotus asked the teacher. Then they exchanged their number.
“This is my card if you can’t reach Lotus you can call me. I am their local guardian.” Peter said while giving his card to the teacher. Lotus saw the excitement of the teacher after getting Peter’s number. She ignored them and kneeled in front of James and Jenny.
“Don’t make any trouble in the school. Behave properly and take care of your sister. You are her big brother.” Lotus said to James then pecked on his forehead. Then she pecked Jenny and said, “Listen to your brother always and be a good girl.” Bothe the children nodded yes to their mother. Then Peter also pecked them and said goodbye.
“I will come in the afternoon to pick you,” Lotus said to them and left the school with Peter.
After reaching the parking area Lotus saw her car was parked beside Peter’s and Tom was standing in front of that. When Tom saw them approaching he came forward and handed the keys to Lotus.
“Thank you, Tom. And thank you Peter for coming with me. Without you, it would be a little difficult.” Lotus thanked both men for their help.
“You are a strong independent woman. You would have managed everything on your own. I just wanted to come with the children I love spending time with them.” Peter said.
“Okay, then I have to say goodbye as I am going to the construction site of the government building,” Lotus said and walked to her car.
“Drive safely. And our lawyer will call you later for the property transfer. You have to come to the Robinson group for signing the documents.” Peter reminded her.
“Okay, I will be waiting. See you later.” With that Lotus hopped on her car and drove away from them. Then Peter went toward his car Tom rushed to the car and opened the door for him. Then they drove off to their office.
None of them noticed that not a far away from them someone was watching them from a black Mercedes. After both Lotus and Peter left the school, that car also left. As the owner of the car was deep in thought so she ordered the driver to follow Lotus.
