HappyNovelX Chapter 708 I got what Xander meant-If I wanted to see Deni, tonight was my chance.
When we reached the preschool, Yuna was outside, leading games with the kids. The scene was pure magic- laughter, joy, no stress, just living in the moment. Honestly, preschool might be the happiest tin life.
Xander and I stayed back, watching quietly. But kids being kids, their curiosity soon turned to us-especially Xander. One cheeky kid called out to Yuna, "Miss Hart, is that your new boyfriend?" Leave it to kids to say whatever's on their minds.

Yuna sighed, trying to laugh it off as Xander and I stepped forward with the gifts we brought. That shut them up- mostly. One bold kid still grinned and said, "Thanks, boyfriend!" "These little brats are too much," Yuna joked, walking over to us, her smile lighting up her face.
Then her gaze landed on Xander. My chest tightened, and for a moment, I forgot to breathe.

That's all I get?" "It counts! When my mom wants a gift, my dad kisses her and says that's the gift," he replied, completely serious. His logic was bulletproof.
"Fair enough," I said with a grin. "Kisses do count."
As soon as I said that, the kids swarmed me, planting kisses on my nose, cheeks, and forehead, theim giggles filling the air. I was drowning in tiny kisses, but I didn't mind. "You like kids, don't you?" ca familiar voice. I glanced up-or tried to-but the kids hadpinned. Clap, clap, clap.
