Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 678

As soon as Vania said those words, she picked a file up and ignored Tilly. The whole conversation didn't even faze her one bit.

Tilly froze up. Am I ignored again? Aren't they the least bit curious about me?

No, Vania wasn't curious at all. She could see through Tilly's little tricks easily. There was no need to be curious about who she was. She read through the list of contestants and had her sights set on someone called Melania. This is going to be interesting.

Tilly refused to back down and return empty-handed, so she hastily voiced out, "Ms. Greyson, I—"

Vania put a finger against her lips before she could finish, telling her to keep quiet. "The competition is going to start, girl. Go back to your seat," she said sternly, and it was clear that she wasn't going to say it twice.

Tilly instantly wilted and tried to gain some sympathy, but Vania ignored her. Therefore, she had no choice but to smile as she tried again, "I just feel a connection to you, Ms. Greyson. I-I didn't know it was almost time already. Sorry if I disturbed you. See you, Ms. Greyson." She waved her hand at Vania, ignoring the fact that Vania was not looking at her.

If this were any other kid, Vania would have thought they were really polite, but when it came to Tilly, everything she did only screamed conspiracy. I hope I'm wrong.

Thea remained in her seat and spoke up in defense of Tilly's actions, "Tilly's an introvert. She rarely talks to anyone, but you guys are different. I think there must be a connection between you guys." She was talking to the kids, but the message was for Hanson. Nobody replied to her, though, making things even more awkward. She shook her head, smiling. "Tilly has loved drawing stuff since forever. I wonder who she got it from." She was really something else to even have the confidence to keep talking. She was deliberately making things sound really vague too, but it was obvious she was trying to gain Hanson's attention.

Eventually, Hanson couldn't take it any longer as he looked visibly irritated. "Do we know you? You're annoying, don't you know that?"

That shut Thea up. Her jaw dropped, but she couldn't say a word. She might be rather shameless, but even she couldn't keep talking after that.

Fortunately, Tilly returned and told Thea happily, "I had a chat with Ms. Greyson, Mommy. She said she likes me." She was smiling innocently as if she had had a great time.

The kids thought, Yeah, that's a lie. The world would end before Mommy would like this girl.

Thea finally found the chance to step in again as she exclaimed in delight, "Is that so? What did you guys talk about?" she asked, looking at Hanson and the kids at the same time. Still, they didn't even show any response when Vania was mentioned. They were so still that Thea couldn't help but think they were petrified or something. They didn't even blink.

Tilly played her role as a pure, innocent girl beautifully, regardless of the awkward tension in the atmosphere. "We talked about a lot of stuff. Mommy, I want to grow up to be a great designer, just like Ms. Greyson. I love designing, and I love Ms. Greyson." She kept expressing her love so that she could make Vania think they had a connection. She wanted Vania to believe she was her daughter.

"That's nice. Go for it, Tilly."

The kids listened to them and rolled their eyes. Wow, they didn't even think this through. Just because we didn't hear your conversation with Mommy doesn't mean that we're as blind as a bat. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
