Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Two "Ian Keane"s
Her appearance attracted many parents.
After all, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old pretty girl standing at the kindergarten gate inevitably leads people to daydream.
Ivana Monroe recognized this pretty girl; she was the little beauty who called Leon Keane "Brother Leon" at the party that night... Kiki Jennings.
How could she be here?
"Ian, Ian, I’m here." Kiki was very excited to see the handsome little boy, waving to greet him. As the little boy walked out of the kindergarten gate, she moved her finger on the remote, and the off-road car carrying a teddy bear in camouflage clothes slowly drove in front of the little boy.
Ivana saw the little boy wearing sunglasses and dressed coolly, feeling very familiar; the boy’s facial outline, little mouth, and even hairstyle were too much like her child...Timmy Monroe.
Ivana’s intuition was correct; the little boy was Timmy Monroe. He stood in front of the off-road car, his fair little fingers adjusting the sunglasses on his face. He raised his little face, looked at the enthusiastic Kiki, and pursed his little mouth without speaking.
His brother said he could choose not to speak or let anyone touch him when encountering strangers.
Indeed.
Kiki walked to the little boy, reached out to hand the remote control of the off-road car to "Ian Keane," but the little boy stepped back a few steps. Despite the joyful and admiring voices from passing boys, he still did not take the remote control nor touched the off-road car.
He coolly walked past Kiki, and upon seeing Ivana there, the little boy was so excited he secretly pinched his fingers, controlling himself not to hug mommy.
Kiki was not disappointed by the little boy ignoring her. She threw the remote control onto the off-road car and caught up with the little boy’s steps, still smiling.
"Ian doesn’t like the off-road car Sister Kiki gave? What does Ian like? Sister Kiki will buy everything for you." Kiki wanted to follow the little boy into the Kane family’s Rolls-Royce, but the closing of the car door forced her back.
The smile on Kiki’s face seemed frozen, awkward to keep or let go.
"Sorry, Miss Jennings, young master Ian hasn’t been in a good mood recently. Please don’t mind," the driver, who knew Kiki, spoke up since he was the exclusive driver of young master Ian when they were abroad.
Abroad, Kiki often visited the Keane family to win favor from Leon’s mother and gain recognition from young master Ian Keane.
"What are you saying? I treat Ian like family; how could I blame him for such a small matter?" Kiki glared at the driver, seemingly blaming him for meddling.
This was the kindergarten entrance, with many coming and going parents and children; it was embarrassing enough to be blocked outside the car by Ian Keane. All she wanted was to pretend nothing had happened, asking the driver to open another car door to save some face.
Who knew the tactless driver not only didn’t open the car door but added a stab.
Kiki was livid.
"Yes, yes, I misspoke. Miss Jennings, please don’t mind. Young master Ian is not in a good mood; I’ll just send him back to the Keane family estate without disturbing you."
Kiki was furious enough to nearly spit blood.
The driver didn’t look at her expression, turned, opened the driver’s seat door, and drove away in the luxury car.
"Mommy, what are you looking at?"
"Timmy Monroe" somehow walked to Ivana Monroe’s side, reached out his tiny hand to hook Ivana’s finger, and shook it gently.
Only then did Ivana turn her head and see Timmy Monroe’s handsome little face. She squatted down and kissed his face.
"It’s nothing; let’s go home!" she gently said.
Ivana stood up, holding Timmy Monroe’s fair little hand, turned around, and was blocked by Kiki.
"Is it really you? Ivana Monroe? I thought I was seeing things. Unexpectedly, you have a child and shamelessly seduce Brother Leon to become his companion. Even if you don’t care about your own reputation, you should think about your child. Aren’t you afraid that it will spread, and everyone will look down on your child?"
Kiki deliberately raised her voice, hoping that all the parents picking up their children could hear it.
As expected.
It’s a woman’s nature to enjoy gossip; several parents walking out of the kindergarten with children stopped to watch, though they stayed at a distance because of the kids, not joining Brooke and Kiki.
Ivana’s heart suddenly sank, her fingers trembling slightly. She didn’t want to hurt Timmy’s little hand, so she tried hard to control her emotions, not letting Kiki affect her or make her fingers tighten.
Ivana took a deep breath; her eyes were somewhat dim. She understood well that they were at the kindergarten gate, and Kiki raising her voice was to provoke her into a quarrel, which would severely affect her and her beloved son, Timmy Monroe.
"You’ve got it wrong; I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Daddy’s companion?
The little boy looked up, could clearly feel this woman’s fingers trembling. Could it be true what Kiki said? That this woman was involved with his dad?
The little boy curled his thin lips, thinking he was indeed foolish; this woman had been involved with his dad for a long time; otherwise, how would his brother have come along?
Ivana sensed the inquisitive look from the little boy; her cheeks flushed with shame. Having such a matter revealed by Kiki in front of her son, she truly wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Ivana tried her best to act as if nothing happened: "Don’t listen to her nonsense."
Ivana took the little boy’s hand and turned to leave, not wanting to pay any more attention to Kiki.
The little boy raised an eyebrow, were they so quick to deny? Kiki must not have been just spouting nonsense.
However, if it were this woman who’s going to be with daddy, the little boy thought it wouldn’t be all that unacceptable.
Kiki, holding the anger from Ian and the driver, couldn’t find a release, and having caught Ivana, especially at the Wellbright Kindergarten entrance, how could she not make good use of it?
Needless to ask how Ivana’s bastard could attend Wellbright Kindergarten? It must be through intimate relations, relying on Brother Leon’s connections.
If she didn’t stir up everyone’s knowledge of Ivana’s misconduct, her name as Kiki Jennings might as well be written backward.
"You can’t leave; I want you to explain yourself. What exactly were you thinking? Climbing into Brother Leon’s bed every night, do you have time to take care of your son? Have you considered the long-term impact on your child? Such a woman is too irresponsible, only caring for personal pleasure, making a bit of shameless money, and not taking a single responsibility towards the child."
"Kiddo, your mommy sleeps with a man who’s not your daddy, do you think she’s dis..." Disgraceful?
Kiki didn’t finish her sentence, because when she saw Ivana’s son’s handsome and indifferent little face, she was utterly stunned.
How could this be? She saw "Ian Keane" board a Rolls-Royce, driven back to the Keane family estate by the chauffeur, so how could he appear here?
Could there be two "Ian Keanes"?
