He didn’t even bother being civilized within front of all those people.” "My husband can be quite scary, but Ms. Brown has messagedto explain what happened. | think you need to calm down.
About my daughter hitting your son, we have discussed this before. | thought that you'd let it go, and | didn’t expect you to bring it up again." "But your daughter never apologized to my son! My son's already apologized to Poppy. " Dylan's mother couldn't accept it.
"Your son should apologize to Poppy. My daughter wouldn't have hit him had he not pulled Poppy's hair." Avery reasoned with her. "When one makes a mistake, punishment is to be expected. Your son is the one who made a mistake, not my daughter, so naturally, she doesn't have to apologize to him. | am the one who taught her that." "You are unbelievable!" "| believe that the other parents have the ability to tell right from wrong. Aren't you worried that the other children will stop playing with your son if you continue to make a scene out of this?" Avery said.
"Are you threatening me? Are you trying to get the other parents to side with you to isolate my son?! | am transferring my son to a different school!" "That's good. At least the girls in the class won't have to worry about someone pulling their hair," Avery said with a smile.
Dylan's mother left in frustration to complain to the principal.
She entered the classroom and Ms. Brown smiled at her. "Next up, let us invite Layla's parents up for a speech.” The others gave a round of applause and Elliot clapped along with a gentle grin.

With that said, she started clapping >b#< TLQ? welcomed Elliot on the stage.
Elliot summoned the courage and walked up to the stage through the applause, and Avery got off the stage as soon as he was up.
"Hello, everyone. | am Layla's father, Elliot Foster. I'm pleased to participate in this parents’ meeting.” His mind went blank, so he remained quiet for a few moments before he remembered what Avery told him before. "First of all, I'd like to extend my gratitude to all the teachers. Good work! "..." Avery quietly thought about how familiar that sounded.
"At the stime, all parents should assist the teachers to manage their children. | hope that things like pulling girls' hair wouldn't happen again in this class, or my daughter will not show mercy. If any one of your kids gets hit by her because of the stupid things they did, please don't bother coining to tell us about it." Avery clapped once again and signaled him to get down. Elliot got the hint and immediately stepped off the stage.
"Elliot, it's the first tI've seen you this nervous.” She chuckled. "You weren't even this nervous when you recited your vow during our wedding." "l was worried that | would embarrass our daughter.” "Layla likes you. She would be on your side even if you embarrass her," she said, before changing the topic. "Let's head out for lunch!" "Sure. What are we eating?" "Meat stew! It's been so long since | had it. | want to eat something spicy.” "Are you sure?" Elliot was a picky eater and disliked spicy food most of all. "I thought you didn't like spicy food."
