"The year-end exams are coming soon and they're currently busy revising. How has Luca been? Will he be having his exams soon? Seoul International Academy's syllabus is different from normal schools, but I wonder if their exam dates are different as well," the old principal said. The table had been filled with cut fruits that she had prepared for the children earlier.

"Their exams are on the same dates. Seoul International Academy follows the examination rules of the city, so exams and holidays are all on the same dates. Luca already managed to catch up with schoolwork, and his results were quite good. He took some time to adapt as the syllabus were different from his previous school, but Luca had been very hardworking," said Jennie.

"That's true. That child would never make anyone worry regardless of where he goes," the old principal laughed as she said. You could see from the look in her eyes that she missed Luca a lot.

"Luca said that he misses all of you and for you not to worry about him. He will come back to visit whenever he is able to," Jennie said. She did not know how to tell the old principal that Liang Xiulin did not want to bring Luca back to the orphanage as she did not have the heart to do so. Thus, all Jennie could do was to let the old principal know that Luca did not forget about his promise.

"I know. I did raise him, after all. I know how he is. I knew the moment he left that Madam Wang would not want him to visit us. The Wang Family and the orphanage are two different worlds, so it's understandable of Madam Wang to be wary of outsiders. Whenever Luca called me in the past, I could always hear Madam Wang calling for him in the background. I knew then that Madam Wang did not want him to stay in contact with us, and I'm fine with that. When you have the opportunity, do tell Luca not to worry about it too much. I know his situation. Tell him to study hard and focus on what he needs to do. There will be plenty of chances to meet in the future," the old principal smiled. She was not too sad, but she did feel a slight sense of loss.

Jennie nodded. Right then, the doorbell rang.

Teacher Wang went out to open the door whereas Jennie turned to look out the window and see the road that led to the gates of the orphanage.

Her eyes widened when she spotted Liang Xiulin walking behind Teacher Wang. However, Luca was not with her.

Jennie was surprised. She had no idea what Liang Xiulin was doing here, so she could not help but turn to look at Lisa.

Lisa frowned and said, "If she is here with bad intentions, I'll have a talk with Jackson. At the very least, Jackson has some say at home."

Jennie nodded. Then, she heard Lisa say to the old principal, "If Madam Wang says anything rash, please don't take it to heart. She is not the decision-maker in the Wang Family. Police Chief Wang and Jackson are the ones that have the final say in their family. Whatever she says does not represent the Wang Family. If they did, she would not be here alone."

The old principal knew that Jennie and Lisa were on her side. "Don't worry. It doesn't matter if she comes with good news or bad news. Whatever it is, it will have something to do with Luca, but as long as Luca is doing well, then I'll be fine."

Teacher Wang brought Liang Xiulin in at that very moment, ending their conversation on the spot.

Liang Xiulin was wearing a long fur coat and had paired it with long, cape-like Chinese style upper garment underneath. She had on a pair of leather gloves and was holding a clutch bag in her hands. Liang Xiulin was dressed exquisitely and came in with an air dominance; she looked totally different from when she had picked up Luca from the orphanage.
