Chapter 1077: 027 Pampering Wife Epilogue (Final Chapter)_8

He carefully covered Avery Graham with a blanket and then quietly got up and left to look for the little one.

Warm sunlight filtered through the curtains into the room, and Avery, lying on the bed, must have been having some dream, for as she slept, she suddenly let out a chuckle, filling the room with an overwhelming sense of happiness...

[The School-Starting Chapter]

Time flew by, and Lulu had reached the age to attend kindergarten.

Star Bilingual Kindergarten, where Emily Hill had previously worked, had now become a private elite kindergarten, with all Carolline Ruiz’s friends’ children attending it.

So, Avery Graham planned to send her own Zoe Taylor to this kindergarten as well.

The day before Zoe learned she was going to attend kindergarten, she felt extremely dissatisfied.

She thought this was because her mother didn’t want her clinging to her father all day at home, so she was being sent to kindergarten with the purpose of having Dad to herself at home.

Feeling that she had seen through her mother’s cunning plan, Zoe made a big fuss, refusing to go to kindergarten no matter what anyone said.

Avery Graham never spoiled her children.

Her daughter was now over three years old and well past the age for kindergarten. However, because she couldn’t bear to be separated from Bernard Taylor, she had already delayed for half a year. Now, regardless of Bernard’s pleading, Zoe had to be sent to kindergarten, and this time Bernard didn’t say much more; indeed, his daughter was too clingy, to an unreasonable extent.

During this period, to make his daughter less dependent on him, he voluntarily worked overtime at the company. He usually waited until Zoe was asleep or had gone back to her room before rushing home.

With her son, Avery was even less indulgent. She started training him to use a spoon to scoop food on his own when he was just over one year old, no matter how messy Ethan made his surroundings or what Nancy Sallow and Avery’s mother said, Avery insisted on letting Ethan eat by himself.

The elders disapproved, thinking Ethan was still too little. Yet when Ethan was two and a half and could eat by himself better than some three-year-old children, everyone realized Avery truly had a way with teaching her children.

Knowing that Zoe was going to start kindergarten, Bernard Taylor came home very early the day before to personally cook for his wife and children.

However, upon seeing her father, Zoe ran to Bernard Taylor, looking aggrieved, "Daddy, I don’t want to go to kindergarten, I don’t want to. Please?"

The last time by pleading with Bernard, she managed to avoid kindergarten. Zoe thought it should work this time as well.

Avery Graham stayed silent, continuing to play toys with her son Ethan.

"No, Lulu is already over three years old, other kids go to kindergarten at three, some even before they’re three. Do you understand?" Bernard squatted down, ready to reason with his daughter.

Avery couldn’t help but roll her eyes on the side; if their daughter could be reasoned with, wouldn’t she have talked to Zoe?

It was precisely because Zoe was unreasonable that Avery didn’t bother with her tantrums. Let her cry it out; she had to go to kindergarten regardless.

"But, Daddy, I just don’t want to go to kindergarten, please. You love Lulu the most, don’t make me go, okay? Lulu wants to be with Daddy every day." Zoe clung to Bernard’s hand; she really disliked her nickname "Lulu," but since her father liked calling her that, she would tolerate it.

"Can Lulu tell Daddy why you don’t like kindergarten, why you don’t want to go?" Bernard lifted his daughter into his arms, placing her on his knees, and asked her eye to eye.

Avery had asked as well, but her daughter refused to tell her, just wanted to defy her, just cried and made a scene, kept saying she didn’t want to go to kindergarten in front of her. Avery got so fed up with it that she didn’t bother asking anymore and just went off to play with her son instead.

Seeing her mother ignore her like this and just instruct the servant to prepare her things for kindergarten the next day while constantly playing with her brother, Zoe cried even harder.

She cried non-stop until Bernard came back, and during this time, Avery didn’t pay any attention to her at all.

"Because after Mommy sends Lulu to kindergarten, Mommy can monopolize Daddy all to herself. Lulu doesn’t want that. Lulu doesn’t want Mommy to monopolize Daddy. Daddy is Lulu’s, just Lulu’s,"

Zoe Taylor cried out, shouting in great agitation.

Bernard Taylor + Avery Graham: "..."

Both of them were somewhat at a loss for words and glanced at each other. Avery Graham shrugged helplessly. So, their daughter didn’t want to go to kindergarten because she was jealous? Worried that her mom would steal her dad all for herself?

That night, after Lulu had taken her bath, Bernard Taylor stayed in the room telling her stories until she was completely asleep.

For the first three days of kindergarten, Zoe Taylor kept crying and throwing tantrums. Avery Graham wouldn’t let Bernard Taylor pick her up, and he had no choice but to agree.

On the first day, Avery Graham was punctual, showing up at Lulu’s class when kindergarten was over. Seeing her crying and refusing to be picked up, Avery Graham let her cry, all the way until it was dark. Bernard Taylor even called to ask about them, but Avery Graham merely said it was fine and told him not to worry, not until Zoe Taylor stopped crying completely.

Then Avery Graham took her by the hand to the car, and they drove home together.

When they got home, Zoe Taylor fell asleep right away, without even eating dinner. But in the morning, she ate quite a lot.

The next day, Avery Graham was half an hour late to pick Zoe Taylor up. Zoe Taylor didn’t see her dad and cried again. Avery Graham stood by her side, still letting Zoe Taylor cry until she stopped. On the second day, it was evident that the crying was less intense and lasted less time than the first day.

After returning home on the second day, she even ate dinner and felt particularly aggrieved when she saw Bernard Taylor.

She wanted to rush into Bernard Taylor’s arms for comfort, but just as she tried, Avery Graham hummed, and Bernard Taylor turned to hug Ethan Graham instead, leaving Zoe Taylor lunging into emptiness.

"Dinner is ready, go wash your hands by yourself. If you want to eat, then eat; if not, keep going hungry," Avery Graham said calmly, not detailing to Bernard Taylor what happened before they got back.

Bernard Taylor also didn’t ask.

Didn’t dare to ask, and couldn’t ask, because asking would be pointless — Avery wouldn’t tell him anyway.

On the third day, Zoe Taylor saw Avery and still cried loudly, but her classmates, teachers, and other parents were no longer surprised.

Avery Graham still took out her phone and busied herself with her own things, while Zoe Taylor cried for five minutes before ceasing.

That day, Avery Graham first took Zoe Taylor to the Cake Shop to get a cake before going home, because it was Ethan Graham’s second birthday. Avery had made a super cute cartoon cake for her son in the shop that afternoon.

Starting from the fourth day, Zoe Taylor stopped crying.

After she stopped crying, the reward she enjoyed was that out of the five weekdays she spent at kindergarten, Bernard Taylor could come to pick her up on two days. Zoe Taylor finally let go of some of her resentment towards Avery.

From then on, Zoe Taylor was like a good little angel in front of Avery Graham, but in front of Bernard Taylor, she was definitely a pampered little princess.

However, what Bernard Taylor could never have anticipated was that the little princess who only acted spoiled in front of him, on the day before her wedding, held onto Avery Graham in their room and cried incessantly, saying the person she would miss the most was her mommy.

When Bernard Taylor came out after his bath and heard his daughter say this, his heart went so cold in that moment, almost ceasing to beat. His darling daughter, who he had cherished all his life, was saying on her wedding day that the person she couldn’t bear to part with the most was her mommy, not her daddy.

But facing Avery Graham, the woman who competed with him for their child’s affection, Bernard Taylor was always sincerely convinced, even in defeat.
