Morning!
After showering, Arthur and Carla put on their graduation uniforms.
It was a milky white shirt with some blue stripes.
The men wore long brown pants while the women wore short brown skirts.
Overall it was a nice and flashy uniform, similar to those school uniforms that appear in anime.
Unfortunately in Europe most schools don't wear such special uniforms except for graduation day.
After Arthur straightened his hair, Carla made an observation of him, as if she was looking for any untidy parts.
"What number would you give me, from 1 to 10?" Arthur asked her in a joking tone to stop her scrutinizing gaze.
Hearing that, Carla rolled her eyes.
"Well, after all, you're my cousin whom I like and love, so my opinion will be based on my own taste," she replied as she came closer and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Of course, I'll give you a 10."
After saying that, she suddenly kissed his lips gently.
As soon as she broke the kiss, she said, "at least I kissed you first instead of Bella in this form."
"Worrying about that is a paranoid way of thinking," Arthur replied, shaking his head.
Carla seemed unconcerned, after which she asked, "have you talked to my mom, can she come to this graduation ceremony?"
She suddenly broached the topic, something Arthur wasn't sure how to answer.
First he had never talked about it with Isabel, and the fact that Carla asked about it proved that she hadn't asked her about it either.
Still, could Isabel come?
This was something that was difficult for Isabel herself because of her busy schedule.
They haven't communicated with her, but if she chooses to come, she should be on her way.
The problem is quite unlikely given that she was just sworn in as Minister so leaving her office even for some time could cause a lot of chaos in her work although people may not criticize her for her very human reasons.
"Maybe she will come, don't think too much about it," Arthur replied, patting Carla's shoulder to calm her down.
"Let's go, we'll have breakfast outside or at school," he added before stepping into the door.
Although Carla was silent for a while as she thought about her mother, she still managed to calm down as she took a step to follow Arthur.
Not long after, he and Carla arrived at the sidewalk on the way to school.
When they got there, Carla held his hand, resting her head on his shoulder.
She really had no qualms about showing their love outside like this.
People who saw them thought they were a normal high school couple, which of course also made them jealous because each of them had very attractive looks.
They met Bella not long after. The girl was waiting in front of her apartment.
Seeing them, she immediately approached them with a faint smile.
Her eyes looked at Carla who was leaning on Arthur's right shoulder and said, "can I join?"
What she meant was quite clear, joining to lean on Arthur's shoulder because if it was just joining about going to school, there was no need to talk about it.
Of course, Arthur objected to that. He pushed Carla first before replying, "just walk normally!"
If he held two women in such a crowded place, he was worried that all the men who saw him would go crazy with jealousy. He wasn't in the mood to make a scene while it was still early in the morning.
Bella just laughed and Carla did not continue to lean on Arthur's shoulder after hearing Arthur's answer.
Fortunately both of them were being reasonable.
They then walked together towards the school.
When they got there, they found a lot of people gathered, not only the students, but also their parents.
Probably 90% of the students were accompanied by their parents, leaving a few unaccompanied.
This was probably an uncomfortable sight for those who were not accompanied by their parents.
"Bella, why are you so slow, you really made me come first." Suddenly there was a female voice from the side, a voice that was quite familiar to Arthur because it was the voice of Bella and Amanda's mother, Shopia.
Gazing to the side, Arthur immediately found the auburn-haired woman.
Today, she was wearing an elegant purple dress, covering her entire body from top to bottom.
Besides looking more beautiful, she also looked younger than the last time Arthur saw her.
Of course, she wasn't an ordinary human anymore either. She was already a Magus. Probably because she got the potion from Arthur.
Although Arthur didn't give her the potions directly, he sent some to Amanda.
The latter would surely give at least one to help her mother.
However, although Sophia spoke to her daughter, her gaze was actually on Arthur.
Some things seemed strange the last time they met, so her gaze also hid strangeness.
"Uhmm, is Isabel unable to come?" she asked, looking at Carla as well.
The latter responded with an expression like she was saying that she didn't know either.
Phew!
That caused Sophia to sigh, looking worried about it.
Perhaps Carla didn't want to keep talking about it either, she nudged Arthur's hand while saying, "let's go to the cafeteria!"
Arthur nodded in response then followed her as she took a step.
Bella looked at them and said to her mother, "Mom, I haven't had breakfast yet either, so I'm going to the cafeteria first!"
Without waiting for a reply, she followed Arthur and Carla.
Left alone, Sophia's lips parted slightly, looking like she was stunned.
Unfortunately it was impossible for her to go to the cafeteria with them as there were only students there.
Confused at being alone, Sophia finally went to the side of her car, and took out her cell phone to open the internet.
However, the first thing she opened wasn't a browser or social media, it was a messenger app.
She opened the app just to delete the messages that had come in.
Ever since she divorced her husband, and even gained such a huge fortune that people can only fantasize about it, many are trying to approach her now.
She rarely went out and was almost always at home, but people who approached her still managed to find her contacts, then tried to flirt with her through the messenger app.
There was no shortage of young men among them.
Most didn't hold back when flirting with her because she was considered a weak woman.
If she takes offense, they will be fine. However, what if she is interested? Then it is the greatest fortune in life.
So far, it has been difficult for her to do anything because she has no power other than money.
Even though she had become a Magus, her movements were still limited.
Of course, she is not the type of woman who falls in love easily, especially when she has just been divorced.
Those random men who tried their luck only annoyed her.
However, this doesn't mean she's completely closed off.
Strange things between her and Arthur sometimes popped up in her mind, something that made her think strangely though at the same time she also became awkward.
This was her inner problem that only she knew.
Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Arthur and the other two went straight to breakfast at the corner table.
They also met Harry who also came to this school by himself.
He was not accompanied by his parents.
Maybe he didn't think much of it either, he had only been here for a few days, his only goal was to attend graduation.
However, Harry didn't dare to approach Arthur because he was accompanied by Carla and Bella.
Arthur himself didn't eat too much breakfast.
After finishing, he opened his cell phone, sending a message to Isabel.
He only wrote one word, Aunt.
Of course, he wanted to talk about this graduation event.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm However, she didn't reply to his message.
Arthur wasn't quite sure what was going on. Out of curiosity, he finally sent Jade a message.
If Isabel couldn't reply because she was busy, it wouldn't apply to Jade.
She was just a bodyguard, so she didn't do anything.
However, Jade apparently didn't reply to her messages either.
'Is it possible they're on their way here?' Arthur couldn't help but speculate like that because it was possible if they were on a plane that they couldn't reply to messages.
Or more extreme Isabel flew here while carrying Jade.
There were at least two more hours before the graduation ceremony actually started.
That was actually enough for Isabel to come even by plane.
At this point, Arthur could only continue to wait until Isabel or Jade replied to his message.
Meanwhile, as Carla and Bella continued to eat, Nova suddenly arrived, approaching their table.
Today, she looked even more striking as her brown hair was dyed blonde in parts, making her hair two-toned.
Seeing her now, people even forgot her old appearance.
She was more than just fashionable, she was more like a celebrity sporting a certain style as Nova still wore her hair in a two-ponytail.
