When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1214 Sit Out

The teacher, noticing their isolation, walked over, her expression confused. “Ms. Cecilia, why are you standing here all by yourself? You should join the others and form a team.

Cecilia, however, wasn’t embarrassed. She met the teacher’s gaze calmly. “They don’t want to team up with she said plainly.

The teacher hesitated, unsure of what to do. She turned to the rest of the groups, addressing the other parents.

Some of the mothers, avoiding eye contact, pretended not to hear, while one woman spoke up, “Our Groups already full”

anwhile, a few fathers, eager to stay in Miranda’s good graces, chimed in, “Teacher, if there’s extra eople, we don’t need them in the game, right?”

“Yeah, we’ye got enough participants already,” another added quickly.

One man glancing at Cecilia’s pregnant belly, gestured toward her and said, “You ladies should just sit this ope out and get some rest. Besides, you’re pregnant. It wouldn’t be safe for you to participate anyway.

Celia gave him a sharp look. “I might not be able to participate, but what about the other mothers here? They’re perfectly fine. How can you say they shouldn’t be in the game?”

The man shrugged, uninterested. “It’s just a game. What does it matter if you don’t join in?”

Some of the other mothers muttered in agreement. “Yeah, yeah, let’s just start already.”

Off to the side. Miranda was watching the whole scene unfold, a smug smile tugging at her lips. She was enjoying every minute of Cecilia and her group being pushed aside.

The teacher, feeling stuck, suggested, “How about we add one more person to each team? That way, everyone gets to participate.”

But one of the mothers shot back. “How can it work out perfectly? Cecilia’s pregnant, and anyone who teams up with her will lose for sure!”

The woman’s sharp voice rang out, and others quickly agreed with her.

Cecilia, Meredith, and the other two mothers stood out painfully as they remained alone, apart from the groups. Jonathan seemed unfazed, but the other three children were visibly upset,

“Mommy Dorothy tugged on her mom’s clothes, her eyes filling with tears.

Meredith, growing increasingly frustrated, sighed. “Cea, forget it. It’s just a game. Let’s just sit it out and watch them play. It’s not worth the fuss.”

But Conrad was stubborn. “No, I want to play! Why can’t I join? My dad’s Zeke Turner, you know! If he finds out you’re picking on me, you’ll regret it!”

Zeke, though influential, couldn’t quite compare to the power of Orion Corporation, but Conrad clearly thought his name carried weight.

Conrad glared at her. “This is all your fault. When my mom was here, no one ever treated me like this!”

Meredith fell silent, struggling to respond.

Nearby, Dorothy had already started crying. “Mommy, they don’t want to play with us,” she sobbed.

Priscilla, feeling helpless, did her best to comfort her, but it was clear the other parents weren’t paying any attention. They were too focused on urging the teacher to start the game.

Cecilia clenched her fists at her sides, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Jonathan, noticing his mother’s tension, squeezed her hand gently. “Mommy, it’s okay. I don’t care about these silly games anyway,” he said softly.

Cecilia, touched by his maturity, smiled at him. “Thank you, Sweetie.”

Just as the teacher was about to officially start the race, the low hum of engines interrupted the moment. Everyone turned their heads as a fleet of luxury cars pulled up not far away. The crowd watched in confusion and curiosity as the first car came to a stop.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
