My Darling, My Dearest
Chapter 484 Choose A Kindergarten

Rachel felt bad for her son, but she still patted Tracy's shoulder gently to comfort her. "Don't blame yourself. It's common for children to have a fever. He'll get better soon." Hearing this, Tracy's face softened a little.

Taking Andy in her arms, Rachel rocked him gently. She hummed a lullaby under her breath while Tracy explained carefully what the doctor had just said during the examination.

Seeing this loving scene, the previously nervous Jack and Jonathan smiled at each other. It looked like Rachel and Tracy were getting along well now.

They all stayed at the hospital for the night and barely got a wink of sleep. Maybe it was because Andy was not feeling well that he didn't sleep well. Even when he dozed off, he would wake up just an hour later.

When morning came, he was crabby and irritable, and his throat sounded a little scratchy.

Tracy tried her best to comfort him herself, but she was fast slipping back into blaming herself again. She covered her face with one hand and sobbed, "If it weren't for me, Andy wouldn't be suffering." "Mom, it's really okay. The fever has gone down. He's over the worst." Rachel turned to motion to Jack.

He understood what she meant, so he stood up and walked to Tracy. He put his hand on her shoulder and, through a tired yawn, said, "Mom, you and Dad haven't rested all night. You can go back first. Rachel and I will stay here."

"Yes, let's go back and have a rest. We can come back to change shift later," Jonathan urged. Noticing that she frowned and wanted to refuse, he hurriedly added, "That's decided. We'll go back first. Call us if you need anything." Before leaving, Tracy gave a concerned sigh.

In fact, Andy's fever was gone. Later, the doctor made his rounds of the ward and said that it was a normal situation. Adults don't have much of an appetite after a fever and it's true of children, too. He was just crying because he was hungry.

Hearing this, both Rachel and Jack felt relieved. After staying at the hospital for a while, they went home with Andy.

The couple entered the house. Rachel frowned and turned to look at Jack. "What's going on?" she asked.

Jack was none the wiser. He shook his head, saying, "I don't know either."

It turned out that the trash can was full of red invitation cards. If they were what she thought they were, these should have sent out to invite people to Andy's birthday party.

It was just at this moment that Tracy came downstairs and explained, "Now that Andy isn't feeling well, we don't want to hold a big party. Let's just celebrate his birthday together without inviting the outsiders. When he grows up, I'll throw an even bigger celebration for him!"

"Okay." There was a smile twitching at the corners of Rachel's mouth but she just nodded. At the hospital, she had been thinking about how to tell Tracy about the party. Now that the matter had been taken out of her hands, she could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Still, Andy didn't have to know that his first birthday party had been changed.

Although it was no longer grand, it was full of warmth.

He sat in his baby chair and listened to his parents and grandparents singing the Happy Birthday song. He might not have known what they were singing, but he clapped his hands as if he were joining in. For a moment, the house was filled with laughter.

"Come on, let me take a picture of you." Julie came out of the kitchen with a camera in her hand.

Rachel picked up Andy and placed him in Tracy's arms. Then she and Jack stood either side of them. They all said "cheese" and the beautiful moment of them together was captured for posterity and became an indelible memory.

Having a child at home, Rachel felt that time passed very fast. She watched him grow up day by day. And that was how another two years came to pass, almost as if in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Andy was three years old, and almost old enough to start kindergarten.

In preparation, one day Rachel made a special trip to pick up lots of kindergarten brochures and was carefully looking through them at the house. When Jack came in from outside, he naturally put his hand on her shoulder and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I am checking which kindergarten I should chose for Andy." Rachel was fretting her lip and was starting to look confused.

Every kindergarten had well-prepared promotional literature. How was she supposed to tell if one kindergarten was better than another?

After reading for a long time, she got lost in pensive thought for a while. Finally, she pulled out one of the brochure and said, "Well, let's send Andy here. It's close to our home, so that we can pick him up easily Besides, I've checked the kindergarten, and it's a good one."

Jack took the documents from her hand, smiled and said in a low voice, "I have arranged a kindergarten for Andy."

Rachel raised her eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you tell me? Which one?"

"Sunlight Bilingual Kindergarten." Jack found the Sunlight Bilingual Kindergarten brochure in the pile of documents, took it out and handed it to Rachel. Seeing that she was frowning, he reached out and gently patted her head twice. "This

Kindergarten has very good teaching resources," he said reassuringly.

At first glance, Rachel had considered this kindergarten, but it was a little far away from their home. They lived in the south of the city, and this kindergarten was in the north, meaning they'd have to cross almost half of Ninwell City. would be really bothersome for them to do that every time they had to pick him up or drop him off, so she rejected it.

She told Jack what she was thinking and asked, "Didn't you think about the distance?"

Jack replied, "This kindergarten is the best in the city. This is our son and he must receive the best education right from the start."

The corners of Rachel's mouth twitched, and she felt a tinge of unhappiness inside. Firstly, Jack had made the decision without discussing it with her. Secondly, she didn't agree with his so-called theory.

But she chose not to openly refute it. She just reached out and tidied up all the documents. Then she said lightly, "Okay, since you are responsible for enrolling him, you are also responsible for drop-offs and pick-ups in the future."

Jack frowned and said uncertainly, "We can ask our driver to do that."

With a wry smile on her face, Rachel patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since Andy is our son, he must receive the best treatment right from the start. We cannot ask our driver to pick him up every day when the other children will be picked up by their fathers in person."

Jack was speechless.

He had no comebacks. In the end, all he could do was lower his head and scratch the spot between his eyebrows. He wondered how long it would take to get Andy to the kindergarten and how early he would have to get up.

In the first week, Jack was very pro-active. Before the alarm clock rang, he went to Andy's room, gently got him out of bed, changed his clothes, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then drove him to the kindergarten.

But the enthusiasm didn't last long.

In the second week, Jack was visibly getting a little lazier. The alarm clock on the bedside table would ring for nearly ten minutes, but he could still be found holding Rachel tightly firmly beneath the duvet. Rachel had no choice but to push him out.

out.

"Jack, it's time to get up and send

Andy to kindergarten." Content

"I'll just drive faster. Now, let me lie here for another ten minutes." Jack kept his eyes closed tightly.

Although Rachel felt reluctant and even

distressed to do it, she stuck to her guns and said, "Get up quickly. This kindergarten was chosen by yourself and you promised to take Andy there. You can't give up after only one week, can you?" She measured her words deliberately.

Sure enough, Jack opened his eyes, sat up and sighed, "You're right. It was my choice, so I have to be the one to take him!"

Seeing him drooping his shoulders, Rachel smiled silently and reached out to push him. "Well, don't just say that. Go ahead and get him out of bed!"

One day, Jack woke up early in the morning, but his hands were restless and kept wandering over to Rachel's body.

He slowly leaned over, gently brushed her earlobe and said gently, "Honey, fancy a little early-morning workout? What do you think?"

Turning over, Rachel opened her eyes and looked straight into his. "Honey, I'd love to. But won't you be late taking Andy to kindergarten?" "Why should I be taking Andy?" Jack was puzzled. "Today is Saturday. The kindergarten isn't open."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bedroom was pushed open from the outside by a small figure. Andy trotted in on his little legs, wearing a yellow schoolbag on his back.

He walked to Jack's bedside and tried to grab his hand, but couldn't reach. In the end, he had to pull on the quilt. "Daddy, get up quickly. I'm going to be late for school."

Jack was confused. "What? Isn't Saturday today?"

Rachel explained, "Didn't you hear Andy say last night that the teachers in the kindergarten will be busy on Monday, so they swapped the two days.

swapped nodded in agreement. He looked at Jack as if he were looking at a fool. "Oh Daddy, you are so forgetful."

Jack lowered his head at once. His original plan was definitely not going to pan out. Seeing his wife's beautiful and enticing body, he could not help but feel a sense of bitterness.
