Why it never ends

Chapter 1021 Inquire
For a moment, everyone laughed very lightly - Chloe's smile was very strange, her expression revealed an old maternal nature that was inconsistent with her age, but the action of patting the stool was like teasing a puppy. Trion coughed several times before stopping his reaction. He had known that his daughter could not pretend, but he did not expect it to be so funny.

Kovicik's face flushed red, and he immediately felt insulted. He tried his best not to get angry at Chloe on the spot. At this moment, he didn't even have time to consider Hesta's reaction, and Chloe's affection that completely ignored his will shattered part of his self-esteem.

"Miss Chloe," Kovicik said, almost in his throat, "I'm not sitting there."

"Okay." Chloe stood up from her seat and half ran and half jumped to Kovicik's side. "Where do you want to sit? You choose first?"

Fatima smiled and said, "I think the Duke wants you to stay away from him... You're scaring him, Chloe."

"But Cody's hand is injured," Chloe said, "He needs someone to take care of him."

"I don't need it." Kovicik said coldly. He immediately looked towards Hesta - fortunately, Hesta was whispering with the female companion beside him and didn't seem to pay attention to what was happening here.

"Come here, Chloe." Fatima motioned for Chloe to sit next to her. "Do you remember what your mother told you this afternoon?"

Chloe reluctantly returned to her mother.

Everyone took their seats.

Finally, Kovichik sat diagonally opposite Hesta, with Victoria between them. Kovichik was secretly delighted - he suddenly realized that this position was better than sitting next to him! If Hesta sat next to him, they would be closer but it would be difficult for him to see her expression, but now Hesta was sitting in his peripheral vision!

Fatima poured tea for Hesta and Victoria: "Will you go to the moment of silence at King's Square tomorrow?"

“No.” Victoria held the teacup with both hands. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, we wouldn’t have known there was such an event.”

"We are going," Trion said. "Tomorrow the whole square will be restricted to traffic, and the king will personally lead the silence and pray - all the important people in Emmanria will go, even the governor will show up."

Victoria glanced at Trion with some surprise, for the baron spoke of the incident as if it were an ordinary and solemn festival.

"The Governor seems to have not appeared in a long time," Hesta said, "The last time I saw him in public was on the projection screen at an emergency meeting."

"That's why I say this time is special." Trion said, "But this moment of silence is by invitation only. If you are not invited, we can't take you there..."

"Nothing." Hesta said with a smile, "I just moved today, so I'll just pack up tomorrow."

“Do you like it there?” Fatima asked.

"I like it." Hesta replied immediately, "Speaking of which, I have a question I want to ask you..."

Everyone looked over at the same time, and Hesta took out a piece of paper folded in four from his coat pocket.

"I want to open a small school on the plantation, but——"

Fatima immediately sighed with regret: "Have you already gone to the city hall for consultation?"

"right……"

"You shouldn't have gone there," Fatima whispered. "If you don't ask anything, you can do whatever you want there."

"But I've already asked," Hesta scratched his head and unfolded the folded document in his hand. "The problem now is that the City Hall requires that all schools that accept children under the age of 14 must have at least one 'child education' expert. But I checked and it seems that this is a system established by District itself... Where can I find such experts?"

"I can help you find out," Fatima took Hesta's documents and said softly, "but why do you want to open a school yourself?"

"I have two children with me," Hesta said, "It's safest to let them go to school in the park." "Oh," Fatima nodded, "I remember now, are they the two little girls?"

"Yes."

Kovicik's cheeks suddenly turned pale: "Child?"

Hesta glanced at him, then turned to Fatima: "I have already contacted some teachers. In order to prevent these two children from being lonely, I will also recruit some children of the same age to enroll together."

Fatima was still scanning the documents Hesta handed over. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look up: "Have you planned this a long time ago?"

"No," Hesta replied, "I started preparing for it this week. Next I will--"

"Are you married?" Kovicik suddenly interrupted Hesta.

The two mercury needles frowned at the same time.

"What?" Hesta's eyes finally fell on Kovicik.

"Oh... because you said you had two children," Kovicik said, "I... I have the impression that there are very few mercury needles... uh, this is not typical, so I... I feel a little strange."

"That shouldn't be Ms. Hesta's child," Fatima said with a smile, "Is it your friend's?"

Hesta smiled and didn't intend to answer the question.

Chloe, who had been sitting next to her mother, finally realized something was wrong. Kovicik was not the kind of person who was interested in family matters. Moreover, when he asked this question just now, he looked extremely panicked...

When do people panic?

Chloe finally looked at the mercury needle seriously.

"So that's how it is..." Kovicik laughed dryly, "I... I just thought -"

Fatima interrupted at the right time: "If you keep talking like this, be careful not to upset Ms. Hesta, and you will get beaten again."

"What do you mean, Mom?" Chloe looked up.

"She is the one who defeated Kovicik in the arena last time." Fatima said with a smile.

Hesta was a little confused. She clearly felt that Fatima's words seemed to be intentionally fueling Chloe's hostility towards her - sure enough, the next moment Chloe's gaze looked at her as if it was breathing fire.

"It's you!" Chloe stood up, "You are the one——"

Hesta couldn't help but laugh out loud. She raised her hands and made a gesture of surrender: "Forgive me, Miss Chloe. If I had known that I would make you so unhappy, I would never have gone on stage."

Before Chloe could open her mouth to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, he surrendered directly, which made her feel a little helpless.

"What do you mean by that?"

Chloe's voice became quieter, and as she slowly sat down, Fatima also laughed.
