chapter 46 Feeling sorry for the little girl

ja Jiang nodded without expressing a clear opinion, led the two little ones away, and greeted the teacher. Just as she was about to leave, her gaze unconsciously fell on the little girl. Seeing the three of them seemingly about to leave, the little girl hurriedly stood up from the slide, her eyes fixed on them. The teacher next to her was afraid she would fall, so she quickly reached out to support her. "She is..." Andrew Li hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but ask. The two little ones had already guessed what she wanted to know and eagerly replied, "Mommy, she also goes to school here and is in the same class as us! Today, her mom and dad haven't come to pick her up yet, so she's waiting here with us!" Andrew Li nodded knowingly, glanced at the little girl in front of her, her heart softened, but she still didn't plan to stay. After all, the one who would come to pick her up later was likely to be Andrew Li or Olivia Fu. She didn't want to see either of them again. But the little girl clearly didn't want her to leave like this. Andrew Li didn't want to disappoint her, so she touched her head with a smile and said, "Your mom and dad should be here soon. Auntie has to leave first. Will you be a good girl and listen to the teacher while waiting?" As she spoke, she was about to leave, but the little girl grabbed onto her clothes with force. Andrew Li couldn't help but stop and looked down at her. The little girl just shook her head repeatedly, and her eyes seemed to be getting a little teary. Seeing the little girl like this, Andrew Li inexplicably felt sorry for her and found it difficult to move her feet. On the side, the teacher saw that Nora was determined not to let Andrew Li leave and sighed helplessly. She approached Andrew Li and said, "Classmate Nora has been very attached to Hale and Harlan lately. She has a somewhat withdrawn personality, and during normal school days, no other children are willing to play with her. On Hale and Harlan's first day in the class, they protected her, and maybe because of this, she has been very dependent on them. Now, seeing them about to leave, she might be feeling scared..." Hearing about the little girl's situation, Andrew Li's discomfort became even stronger. She hadn't expected this little girl to be not only mute but also withdrawn. It's no wonder the teacher had her two little ones wait here. But... Thinking about the two people who would arrive later, Andrew Li still hesitated. The teacher whispered for a while, but Nora still refused to let go of Andrew Li. After a while, the teacher looked somewhat embarrassed and asked Andrew Li, "Mrs. Hale, are you in a hurry? If not, could we talk? Since Hale and Harlan joined the class, I haven't had a chance to discuss their situation with you." Naturally, Andrew Li could see that the teacher just wanted to use Hale and Harlan's name to keep her company and wait with the little girl. The little girl also looked at her eagerly. Meeting the little girl's gaze, Andrew Li had the words of refusal on the tip of her tongue, but for some reason, she couldn't say them. She swallowed them back and nodded to the teacher. Seeing her agreement, Nora's eyes became even brighter. She held onto the edge of Andrew Li's clothes and carefully moved closer to her. From a distance, it looked like she was leaning into Andrew Li's embrace. Noticing her small movements, Andrew Li didn't stop her, nor did she show any concern. Instead, she casually started talking to the teacher about her two little ones.
