Chapter 37 Wanted to Visit Adeline's House? You'd Get a Slap in the Face
As soon as he finished speaking, Billy's mother rushed over angrily and slapped him on the back of the head.
"You... You are such a traitor! You support the outsiders! Do you know that you just exposed your father's true color in front of so many people, and you will ruin him!"
Billy looked unyieldingly at his mother after being beaten.
"No, I just want to be a person who keeps his conscience! I would rather pick up my father at the prison and see him reform than regret why I didn't tell the truth every night."
Billy's mother was taken aback, her face was full of surprise as if she didn't believe such words would come from a ten-year-old child.
"Your dad... Your dad...actually..." Billy's mother wanted to restore the father's image in her child's mind, but she couldn't say a word.
"Mom, you don't have to lie to me anymore. You know better than me what kind of person my dad is."
"I'm not an idiot either. I can see it myself if I pay more attention to him."
"Mom, you always tell me that Dad and you got a fake divorce to buy another house."
"You said you and Dad would remarry again. But what I know is that my father took me to several women's houses. I hate to have a father like that. Every time I go with him, I feel sick."
Billy's mother suddenly widened her eyes when she heard those words, "What did you say?"
She was so shocked that her voice broke out!
"He takes you to his mistresses' houses every weekend? On your visiting days?"
"Dad never takes me to the park. I suggested going to the Science and Technology Museum, but he was impatient. Several times he took me to the houses of different women who I didn't know. He will leave me in the living room and go upstairs with the woman..."
Upon hearing that, Billy's mother staggered back a few steps. She looked shocked.
She couldn't bear it anymore! Her child's father actually had an affair in front of her child!
"Kevin Baker, you bastard! As you make your bed, so you must lie in it! I want to report you! I want you to go to jail!"
Billy's mother was holding his hand tightly and emotionally, she was about to go home to prepare the report materials, but Billy stood where he was. He looked at Adeline and asked again stubbornly.
"Ms. Burton, will you forgive me? Will Lathlaeril forgive me?"
Adeline walked up to Billy, squatted down, and looked at him.
"Billy, I hope that you can remember what I say today."
Billy nodded.
"I hope that in the future, you will not easily forgive anybody who has hurt you and apologize to you."
In a sudden, Billy's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"I can't show you a bad example. Some injuries mean to be hurtful. When you are hurt and you feel very uncomfortable, even if the other party apologizes, you can still choose not to forgive that person. Do you understand?"
Billy didn't seem to understand but he nodded his head.
"And some people who have hurt you, even if they apologize, may still hurt you again. I hope that you will not easily believe in other people's apologies."
Billy lowered his head and whispered, "But... I won't hurt you again, Ms. Burton.
Adeline stroked his head and said, "I know. Therefore, I forgive you."
Billy looked up in surprise and disbelief. He asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Adeline nodded, "Because it is difficult for a child like you to make a correct judgment after you know your father's secret, so I forgive you."
"But the person who took the coffee and threw it at me was an adult. She is fully capable to judge her behavior. So I won't forgive her."
"Billy, you are doing so great. You are so brave with what you have said today. I forgive you, and the Lathlaeril will also feel that you are standing in the line with him in terms of fairness and justice."
Billy and Adeline looked up at the tall Lathlaeril sculpture together and smiled.
Billy exhaled a long breath and left with his mother without any psychological burden.
Soon after, the comments on the Internet also changed drastically.
"The whole network owes this teacher an apology!"
"Yes, where are those anti-fans? Why don't they show up and apologize?"
"Look, the servant who spread the rumor is arrested by the police."
"Yes, I saw it just now, and said that some bureau chief promised to give her son a job, which made her spread those rumors."
"It's so cool! Mr. Baker's ex-wife also submitted the report materials. Mr. Bakers is waiting to go to jail for corruption!"
"By the way, didn't the kid, Billy say that Ms. Burton's brother seems to have given her away to Mr. Baker? He is such a scumbag. Why has no one exposed his identity on the Internet?"
"Yes, quickly share his identity on the Internet. So that this scumbag can hardly move in Prodiff and will be unable to harm other women!"
"The most beautiful teacher! Not only looking beautiful but also kind-hearted. She is amazing!"
"Please pardon me for asking this. Does Ms. Burton have a boyfriend?"
"Ms. Burton is simply the goddess of my dreams. She is so beautiful and has such a good temperament."
......
The reviews on the internet improved. At the same time, the voting channel for the teacher election in that time zone had also ended.
The competition committee, who already knew the result earlier also took advantage of the situation and announced the top three of the outstanding teachers' teaching competition in that district.
Among them, Adeline's name was at the top of the list.
Many teachers in the school sent voice notes to congratulate her in the group chat.
"Adeline, congratulations!"
"Ms. Burton, congratulations!"
"Adeline, the meal is on your this time!"
"That's right, Ms. Burton. What about today? Tomorrow will be Saturday. Why don't we buy some barbeque ingredients and go to your house for a gathering? We can also celebrate your wedding and your winning in the district teacher competition as the first prize."
Adeline was startled when she heard that voice message, and subconsciously looked at Curtis, "My colleague wants to come to our house, is that okay?"
Curtis smiled softly, "Of course. Mrs. Riley, you can make the call. If you want them to come, just invite them. You don't have to ask me. You are the owner of the real estate."
The corner of Adeline's mouth raised slightly, "Okay, I will ask them to come. Melissa has been clamoring to come too. I'm worried that you like to be quiet and don't like too much noise."
"It doesn't matter. As long as it is related to you, I can accept it." After a pause, Curtis added, "Let them come directly tomorrow. We will prepare the food."
"Okay." Adeline opened her WhatsApp and was about to reply. Then, she saw the message from Sophia in the group.
"Yes, Ms. Burton. Since everyone wants to go to your house to see your newlywed husband, why not we take this opportunity to get together tomorrow?"
Seeing Sophia booing with the rest, Adeline couldn't help sneering in her heart.
The celebration was a guise!
Those people just wanted to see what kind of place she lived in and found out if was she married to a person who was in a wheelchair.
Adeline replied generously, "Everyone is welcome to my house for a meal at noon tomorrow. My husband said that the food will be on us. You don't have to bring anything. Just come to my place."
Soon after, many colleagues responded enthusiastically.
At the same time, the male colleague who had previously pursued Adeline sent a message, "Ms. Burton, where shall we meet tomorrow? Where is your house? Should we go directly or..."
Adeline thought for a while and replied, "Let's meet at the stationery store opposite our school. My house is very close to there."
The access control in the Bay Hall was very strict, and to get them to the building, they needed to go through a lot of face-scanning identification. Adeline didn't know how to explain it, so she just went downstairs and led them by herself.
After Adeline replied, several colleagues responded with a "yes", but they all had different ideas in their heads.
Several colleagues started to discuss it in private.
"Didn't you say that she gets into a luxury car? Why does she live in a residential building next to the store?"
"That's right. The building over there is very dilapidated. It must be more than 30 years old!"
"We'll find out tomorrow!"
The next day, Adeline changed into casual clothes and went to the door of the stationery store in advance to wait for them.
Several teachers with whom they had contacts arrived one after another.
Some people politely brought a small gift to Adeline and said, " "Congratulations. Happy wedding."
Adeline thanked everyone one by one.
After a while, the director, Sophia also arrived, and everyone was there. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Sophia looked at the old residential building behind her, and pointed, "Which one shall we head to?"
The male colleague who had pursued Adeline before also took the initiative to carry the fruit and walked in that direction, "Ms. Burton, which building is it? Which floor?"
