Leon Batton, especially, took great care of his little sister, Lynette Batton.He practically acted like a protective father in the classroom and didn't let anything happen to her.Lynette was the kind of person who could cry easily, but his presence there ensured that she was on her best behavior the entire time. Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton knew that their son gave her a sense of security.They jumped up happily when the kids entered the house and walked toward them eagerly.They had missed them, especially today, even though Xyla and Stanley were frequently away at work during the day,Perhaps, it was because of their first day at kindergarten.At the door, Xyla and Stanley picked up Lynette and Leon respectively, making them smile.They looked very adorable in their very first set of uniforms.Their uniforms looked good. Leon wore a white shirt with a black tie and vest, while Lynette had on a white shirt with a black tie and skirt. She also wore a fitting vest with whit
If Lynette Batton was too young to understand, then was Leon Batton old enough, considering they were both twins?He was born only slightly earlier than his little sister.Xyla Quest chuckled with a helpless gaze at her son. “You’re speaking as if you’re much older.”“I may not be a lot older, I’m still her older brother. I have to be the mature one,” Leon replied.Stanley Batton nodded before looking at his daughter. “From now on, you mustn’t let anyone kiss you other than Daddy, Mommy, Leon, our close friends, and relatives, understood?“Especially not boys,” he hastily added with a stern expression.Lynette didn’t understand why her father said that, but she still nodded obediently.“Okay, I’ll remember that,” she agreed before tugging at her brother's hand. “Leon, don’t be angry. I understand now.”“Silly girl. You need to learn how to protect yourself sometimes,” he advised her. His words made him sound even more mature, not like that was surprising to his parents. She
Xyla Quest had no regrets other than not being able to repay her parents for bringing her up.She enjoyed days like these though she'd found herself wishing that her parents were around to be a part of her happy life.She instantly hugged Stanley Batton as she began to feel emotional at the thought.“Honey, I have a sudden craving for the steamed egg and shrimp dish you've cooked before,” she told him.“Okay, I’ll cook that dish for you right away,” he replied instantly before heading into the kitchen.Xyla settled down on the couch and began munching on snacks that her husband had bought for the kids.However, neither Lynette Batton nor Leon Batton was fond of them, so she ended up the one who ate them the most often.***Time went by so quickly that it stopped for no one.In the blink of an eye, Lynette and Leon were now six.They seemed much more mature than before and even more obedient.The children were growing well.Likewise, Xyla and Stanley’s companies also continu
Meanwhile, Lynette Batton kept her head down as she wept in the office of Phaeton Kindergarten’s principal.Leon Batton stood in front of her protectively while a group of adults surrounded them. The principal, three teachers, both parents of the boy in question, and the royal family's bodyguards were in the office.There were glaring at the twins with cold, harsh looks.Meanwhile, the arrogant boy with whom they had a conflict sat on a nearby chair as he glowered at Leon defiantly.Soon, their nanny, Shanice, walked in and hastily pulled the twins behind her in a protective stance.“Hey kids, aren’t you going to apologize? Do you want to be kicked out?" the boy's father sneered menacingly before issuing more threats.“Mark my words. If you don’t apologize, not only will I see to it that you're both kicked out, but your parents will also be in big trouble.“I won’t let anyone in your family off the hook,” he yelled as he pointed his forefinger at them.Leon returned his angry
The principal’s words came as a shock to Leon Batton.At that point, he finally understood how fake the principal and these adults were.He grew angrier, his small fists clenched by his sides.“Why should I apologize? They’re the ones bullying us," Leon stated indignantly, pointing his finger at the other family. "I doubt Lynette and I will stay here for long if this is the kind of favoritism Phaeton Kindergarten offers.”After saying that, he directly ran up to the other boy’s father, removing his tiny leather shoe before launching it at his face.For a 6-year-old child, Leon was very swift and accurate, moving like the wind. The shoe had already connected with his face by the time he could react. Everyone was stunned to see his nose was badly injured.At the very least, nobody expected that a kid like Leon would have the courage to do such a thing.The man was now livid after being assaulted by a shoe. He immediately raised his hand and slapped Leon with his full strength,
The man’s wife also began to speak then, but Leon Batton ignored her, silently waiting for someone from his family to arrive.“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to say anything? Are you afraid? I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel and apologize. After that, go ahead and lick my son’s shoe. Perhaps I'll spare some of your family members who would be arriving later," the man added.His words grew harsher each time he spoke, intentionally challenging Leon and Lynette Batton’s limits.Lynette began to laugh as well, gazing at the adult bully with slightly reddened eyes. “If you’re smart, you should kneel and apologize to us instead. Then, when my family arrives, I will consider asking them to forgive you.“This opportunity won’t come knocking twice. I promise you will regret it later,” she added.“Exactly,” her brother interjected.Their words seemed to amuse the man further as he started laughing helplessly. “Haha! You sure are brave. Are you trying to intimidate me? Did you reall
Xyla Quest peered at the silent adults around her and asked calmly, "Who hit my son?”Meanwhile, her bodyguards had made their way to the office’s entrance and stood neatly in a row. Their fully black attire was intimidating to the others, making them feel suffocated.The boy's father stammered. “I-it w-was me. I’m s-sorry, Ms. Quest. I was ignorant. I didn’t know these two were your children. If I had known, I wouldn’t have done it.”She ignored him. “Which hand did you hit him with?”He took a deep breath. “M-my right h-hand.”Her frown deepened. “Got it. Someone will be here to claim your hand later.”He paled in fear at her words. Trembling like a leaf, he gazed at her pleadingly. “I'm sorry, Ms. Quest. I’m truly sorry.”Xyla scoffed. “If apologizing worked, then why do we need the police?”He knew it was over for him.He hastily went down on his knees as he peered at Xyla, Lynette Batton, and Leon Batton. “I’m truly sorry. Please forgive me!”The twins merely glared at h
Then, Leon Batton started telling Xyla Quest about what transpired in the office earlier. He described what the man and his wife said or did and also what the teachers had done.Their hearts began to pound when they heard themselves mentioned, hoping that he wouldn't divulge too much but they were all surprised by his eloquent speech.He could narrate such intricate details with emotional depth beyond his years.This kid was practically a genius.The more Xyla listened, the more upset she seemed.She had one particular quirk, and it was that she tend to be protective of her family and friends.“Okay, excellent.” She glared at the responsible parties once again before waving toward the door’s direction. “Come in, all of you.”Her bodyguards waiting right outside promptly entered, forming a circle around everyone. They had heard everything Leon described, and now their faces betrayed the rage they felt.How could they allow these people to trample all over the children like that?
