CHAPTER 10
Summer Frost POV
I rushed down to my kids‘ school as soon as I got the call from their principal that they got into a fight with their classmate.
“You are here, Ms. Summer… This way, please,” A young lady in her late twenties welcomed me and led the way while I trailed behind her.
“The principal’s office is along the walkway. It’s the second door by your right,” The lady said to me just before we got to the walkway.
lid. My steps slowed down when I arrived at the walkway and saw a familiar person All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I need to attend to something.” She finally left me to go ahead, and I did. My squatting in front of a little girl.
“Daddy, why did you do that?” The little girl whined as she pouted her lips.
“Honey, I told you to stay away from fighting both within and outside the school. You are going to be a woman, and a responsible woman shouldn’t fight for any reason,” Even his voice sounded so familiar when he spoke up. As much as it was glaring that there was every chance he was the one, I refused to give in to my instinct. There was no way it could really be him.
“I’m going to have you grounded if you get into a fight again,” He finally stood up and it was when he turned to leave that I finally saw his face. I wasn’t mistaken. It was really him..
My eyes darted back to the little girl who was holding hands with him, and I couldn’t help the confusion I felt at that moment. Did Xander have a kid with another woman while I was away? That was the first thing that came to my mind, but for someone who claimed to be sterile, then I wondered what the heck was happening
“Summer?” He called surprisingly as he walked over to me with the little girl, and now that I got a closer look at her, I couldn’t deny the striking resemblance between them. There was a high chance of him really being her Dad.
“What are you doing here?” His voice was laced with surprise as he asked me the question, but I just scoffed and looked at him.
“Why? I can’t come here because you are here?” I gently tucked my hair behind my ear and raised my eyebrows.
“Daddy, she’s mean. Why is she talking to you like that?” The little girl must really care so much about her Dad. She glared hard at me.
ther and walked away from them. “If you don’t want someone being mean to your Daddy, then tell high to learn to mind his business,” I rolled my eyes My hurt wrenched painfully as I stopped along the walkway and looked back at them. I didn’t think it was going to hurt that much, but the thought of him as the father of the little girl was driving me nuts.
With my emotions held together, I made my way into the principal’s office where I met her seated behind her desk.
“Who are you? How may I help you?” She looked at me through the glass sitting on her nose bridge.
“My name is Summer… I’m Jake and Jack’s Mom,” I introduced myself to her, and she made a silent “Oh. It was my first time coming to the school. I was supposed to be here the day they were registered, but I couldn’t make it because of an emergency that later came up…
“it’s nice to meet you,” She smiled at me politely, and I nodded.
“Please sit,” She pointed toward the chair in front of her, and I sat on it.
“Quick one. I called you here about your sons. They got into a fight with their classmate after spending just a few days in school. They are also rude, and.”

“Permit me to interrupt you, Madam. My kids don’t act irrationally, I groomed them to be responsible, and if they got into a fight, they must’ve been pushed to it because they don’t do that,” I defended my kids because I knew them more than anyone else.
She squinted her eyebrows and looked at me for the next few seconds wordlessly.
“Are you defending them? Are you saying that I’m lying?”
“That is up to you to judge, Madam. I’m only telling you what my kids are capable of doing.” I tried to be as polite as I could.
“You are unbelievable. You should be grateful that Mr. Xander is willing to let this gn. You should be grateful,” I scoffed upon realizing that the person my kids got into a fight with was that little girl. Xander’s daughter.
“Anyway, it has been sorted out. You should tell your kids to stop being rude and stubborn. I won’t be patient next time,” She said sternly, and I scoffed.
“If there is nothing more, I beg to take my leave now,” And with that, I stood up and walked out of the office.
I wanted nothing at that moment more than to confront Xander and tell him to warn his child to stay away from my kids, but on second thought, I didn’t want to raise an alarm. Not now that I didn’t want him to know about my kids.
I left for my kid
my kids‘ class which was just in the next building, and I was soon able to locate them.
“Mommy!” They ran into my arms excitedly as soon as I walked inside their class, and I smiled.
“Hey, sweetheart. How are you doing?” I squatted in front of them.
“We’re fine. Did the principal call you?” Jake asked, and I nodded.
“Mom, you shouldn’t listen to her. That little spoilt girl kept bugging us. That’s why we fought her,” Jack chipped in, and I smiled.
“I believe you. Next time, you should report it to your principal, and don’t ever lay your hands on a woman, okay?” I cupped their cheeks in my palms and said to them.
“Yes, Mommy,”
“Good boys. You should go back to class. Let’s have dinner together tonight. Mommy will be waiting for you at home,” I kissed them before they went back to class, and I left.
I paused when I stepped out of the school building and saw Xander leaning against his car in the parking lot. I thought he already left, but I guess I was
mistaken.
I was going to act like he wasn’t there and just go my way, but he held my hand and pulled me back when I tried to walk to my car.
“I told you that you can’t touch me like that, Xander. We are no longer married,” I reminded him as I yanked his hand off me and stepped away from me.
“We need to talk,” He stated coldly, and I scoffed…
