The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 426 - SIX YEARS OLD (3)

Well, she often went outside and even when she was around, she would be too busy to play with Hope.

"Hahaha…" Kace let out a dry laughed. True his baby girl didn\'t tell other people about the white wolf, but she didn\'t change the way she called him. "It\'s me… that\'s my nickname. I am sorry, but she doesn\'t like people to touch her hair."

Kace smoothed the situation with his charming smile.

Ariel reciprocated Kace\'s smile sweetly as she shook her head and made her blonde hairs flapped against her face.

Her blue light eyes shone with infatuation when she looked at Kace. "It\'s alright, I can understand, some children dislike certain thing. You don\'t have to be sorry for that."

Well, actually Kace was not…

"I think we will be best friend later, right Hope?" Ariel asked the girl, but she refused to look at her. Awkwardly, Ariel shifted her attention back to Kace. "And you are?"

"I am…" Kace was about to answer that when Hope\'s voice interrupted.

"My wolf." She said firmly.

Kace let out helpless chuckle and caressed the girl\'s face tenderly. "Yes, yes… you are right." because that was what he always told her. Her wolf.

"Hahaha… she is so cute." Ariel didn\'t think of that seriously. "Are you her brother?" he looked too young to be her father, though it was possible if he had her when he was very young.

"You can say so." Kace shrugged his shoulder, didn\'t give the curious young woman a definitive answer.

"Oh." Ariel didn\'t know how to react on that answer and at the same time, she was being called by her fellow teacher. "I think I have to go now. See you later inside the class Hope and…"

Ariel didn\'t know Kace\'s name except the way Hope called him, but the man seemed didn\'t know her intention or he pretended to not know it.

"Well, see you later…" Ariel smiled sheepishly and walked back to the person who had called her.

Once Ariel had gone, Kace dropped to her knees and looked at Hope with raising eyebrows. "Why were you treating her like that? She is your teacher."

Even though the little girl\'s behavior amused him, but Kace didn\'t want her to get trouble with that woman. He wanted her to have a normal life, for as long as he could provide her, before everything became a mess.

"I don\'t like her touching my hair." Hope pouted sullenly as she held Kace\'s gaze bravely. "I don\'t like her.

Kace had to admit it that he didn\'t like the teacher either.

==============

Hope was running toward the only person that she was familiar with, despite her surprise because Serefina was the one who picked her up after her first day.

"Where is wolf?" Hope was looking behind Serefina, searching for the presence of Kace, but she couldn\'t find him.

"He is busy." Serefina opened the car door and let the little girl slipped into the front of seat and strapped herself with seatbelt.

"Will he come for dinner?" Kace had promised her to play with the white wolf when she returned from school.

"No." Serefina hoped Kace wouldn\'t appear in front of her door too often.

"Will he come tomorrow?" Hope kept asking, but Serefina slammed the car door shut and this made the little girl pouted her lips.

"He promised me to play with me." Hope\'s voice reached Serefina\'s ears the moment she opened the door to her seat.

However, before she could answer the little girl\'s annoying question, someone had made a pleasantries talk with her.

"Good afternoon, are you Hope\'s family?" Ariel approached Serefina timidly, feeling intimidated by the figure before her eyes.

Serefina looked like a beautiful tycoon and wasn\'t as easy going as the man in this morning, who had dropped Hope.

"Yes." Serefina answered curtly, she didn\'t hide the annoyed expression on her face.

"Oh, my name is Ariel. I am Hope\'s home teacher." Ariel gave Serefina a perfect smile that didn\'t reach her eyes. "I just want to discuss something with you about Hope."

At first, Ariel wished to meet with the mysterious man, but it was such a pity that her another guardian who came to pick her up.

"What is it?" Serefina asked impatiently.

"Maybe we can discuss this inside." Ariel gestured Serefina to come with her to his office room, because it was quite uncomfortable to stand there and discussed this matter.

Yet, Serefina didn\'t move even an inch and crossed her slender arms impatiently. "Just say it here."

Ariel was surprised, but she concealed it quickly and tried to persuade Serefina again. "I am sorry ma\'am, but I think we need to talk this in private." There was urgency by the way Ariel spoke.

"I don\'t have too much time." Serefina glanced at her wrist watch and shot her another impatient look. "If you can\'t say it now, we can discuss about it later."

Serefina would be always her rude self, especially to those who she didn\'t think worth her attention.

Ariel looked like she was in trouble to explain the matter at hand, but when she watched Serefina was about to enter her car, she spoke hastily.

"Ma\'am, do you know that Hope has imaginary friends?" Ariel talked hesitantly. If it was a normal imaginary friend that children around her age had, she wouldn\'t mind like this, but Hope\'s behavior during her class truly bothered her.

"Imaginary friend?" Serefina raised her eyebrows, though she already knew what was this about.

"Yes, she said she saw something. I mean, she has more than ten imaginary friends and…"

But, Serefina cut her off. "Maybe it is you who can\'t see them…" And with that, Serefina drove away from the parking lot, didn\'t bother to talk further with the teacher.
