Robert Reed didn't know what these young people were up to, but he was relieved to hear that Amelia Wright would be back.
He looked at the stern-faced Emily Allen, walked over, and ruffled Emily's hair, saying, "Child, if any of these guys bully you, come to Ink Manor and find Old Mr. Reed. When your aunt comes back, let her visit me."
Emily knew this was her aunt's respected teacher, allowing Robert Reed to mess up her short hair. She nodded obediently.
Only when Robert Reed left did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Hailey Smith quickly said, "Emily, we'll now take you to the kindergarten, don't worry, your aunt will be home by the time you get off school."
Emily, carrying her small backpack, hesitated and said, "Can't I go with you guys?"
Hailey Smith shook his head without thinking, "The master said I should keep an eye on you at kindergarten, and besides, you're still too young. If you come with us, you'll slow us down."
