Chapter 1748
The man still seemed determined to create a fuss. His jaw was clenched in anger as he said, “I don’t care what
provoked this! Your son has injured my son, and he needs to apologize and take responsibility! If you don’t get your
son to apologize to mine, not only will he have to leave this preschool, but I’ll make sure you have a tough time in
Greenhaven. Do you understand me?”
The mother, heartbroken, gently caressed her son’s battered, pudgy face. “Yes! Absolutely! My son has never been
treated like this! And furthermore, he was just being a little playful with a female classmate. It wasn’t your son’s
place to interfere!”
Ellinor was taken aback by the couple’s remarks, and they glanced at each other in silence.
The director, stuck in the middle, was in a difficult position. On one hand, she realized that this couple was truly

This couple was well-known in Greenhaven for their wealth, and compared to them, Ellinor, a single mother raising
her three children, didn’t stand a chance.
With this in mind, the director tried to calm the couple down, then pulled Ellinor aside to speak in hushed tones.
“Ellinor, I know your son, Baber, is a good, honest child, and I know this isn’t his fault. But this couple isn’t easy to
deal with. You’re a single mother raising three kids, so it must not be easy. Sometimes it’s better to swallow your
pride and just apologize. Why not just let it go?”
Ellinor squinted at the director, who seemed to have no backbone at all. Although she understood her intentions,
she still felt disdain.
“Why should my son apologize when he didn’t do anything wrong? Director, I send my children to your school to
earn knowledge, not to learn how to back down when bullied. I’ll consider transferring all my children to another
school.”
The director was speechless, and her face was flushed with embarrassment.
The father, seeing Ellinor’s refusal to back down, became even more aggressive. “Don’t think you can just transfer
your son, and this will all be over! Unless your son apologizes to mine, I’ll make sure you can’t live peacefully in
Greenhaven or anywhere else in the country! By then, it will be too late for you to beg me for mercy!”
The mother chimed in again, “Did you hear that? My husband is giving you a chance! Get your son to apologize to
mine now, and we might let you off the hook! Otherwise, you can forget about living peacefully ever again!”
Ellinor looked at the couple’s arrogant demeanour and chuckled. “Sure, I’ll wait for the day you make my life
miserable! But for today, I think I can manage. Goodbye!”
As she said this, she turned around to find Baber, ignoring the couple’s furious expressions.
Left alone, the director had no choice but to appease the angry couple, apologize on behalf of the school, and

After emerging from the security room, Ellinor looked through the hallway window to see Baber in the preschool
yard, hiding in a small slide house and wiping his tears.
She watched him for a moment before walking away. Instead of going down to Baber, she went upstairs to the
toddler class.
Adrian and Layla were in the toddler class. Since she was already there, she decided to take them home as well.
Layla and Adrian were both surprised and happy to see their mom arrive so early, but they were also a bit
confused.
“Mommy! Why did you come to pick us up so early today? Usually, you come in the afternoon, right?” Layla
inquisitively asked.
Adrian also asked, “Yeah, Mommy! What’s going on today? Is it a special occasion? Are you going to take us out for
fun?”
Ellinor lightly tapped Adrian’s head. “All you think about is having fun!”
