At the hot spring manor in the mountains and forests more than 30 kilometers north of Rivni, Ekaterina Noskova and three girls entered the manor by car, and Marta Beknac greeted them as soon as possible.

After getting out of the car, they exchanged pleasantries, and the girls also gave a gift brought back from the United States to the actual housekeeper of the manor, and they did not lack any emotional intelligence in getting along with people, and then talked and laughed together and walked through the corridor in the manor to the main villa.

"It's only been a month away, and it feels like Rivni has suddenly entered autumn," Ivgenia Kolkoshkko looked at the green all around, but compared to Los Angeles or New York, the end of August in northern Ukraine has made people feel a noticeable coolness, but the girl's tone when she said this was somewhat show-off, after all, unlike the caged finches in the manor, although they had just been grounded for a year, they had been to a lot of places in the past two years, and they seemed to feel something, and asked: " Marta, it's so quiet here, aren't they there?"

Marta was unaware of Eve's careful thoughts just now, and said, "Today is Sunday, there is no class schedule, and you can move freely for these two days. ”

Although they were not able to run out as often as the three of Ekaterina before, the girls in the manor did not have too strict restrictions on their daily lives, especially on weekends, when they went out or went home. It's just that after the last Banshikova incident, whether the girls went out or went home, they would be accompanied by a female guard.

Saying that, he has entered the villa.

The three girls have their own rooms here, and they don't plan to leave in the next few days, after all, they are here to 'eat melons', as for the high school courses that have just been scheduled these days, let the teacher come here tomorrow.

There were really not a few girls in the villa.

After some inquiry, the three mothers and daughters of Banshikova, who are more concerned, went to the city of Rivni yesterday and will probably return in the evening. Then Marta said that Anna Belkoska, the best of the girls here, had gone with some other girls to visit Miss Maria Rozin after breakfast this day, and that she had attracted the attention of the three girls.

That's what I eat.

After asking for details, the three girls also left the hot spring manor again and rushed to the hot spring resort a few kilometers away. The two female teachers involved in the gossip these days have been arranged in the hotel area of the hot spring resort, which has many single-family villas for foreign tourists, and is relatively close to the hot spring estate.

Well...... More recently, this is no longer a reason.

Although the small turmoil was easily suppressed, after the incident, the hot spring manor quickly made adjustments, all the married female teachers were removed, and all the courses were replaced by unmarried. After all, although Simon's preferences for women are true, he doesn't want to make too many moths out of nowhere.

Not to mention some other female teachers who lost their jobs because of this, the two people involved, except for Ulyana Meretskova, who had already been eaten, after knowing what happened here, had read Maria Rozin's information, an intellectual woman who was very in line with Simon's aesthetics, so she also arranged it casually.

Actually, I didn't force it too much.

However, since the woman obeyed Simon's arrangement, it can be regarded as a kind of acquiescence and acceptance, as for whether there is pressure from the top of the Westeros system on Rivni's side behind the matter, Simon doesn't care too much.

Arriving at the hot spring resort, the girls did not enter the lively leisure and entertainment area, but went directly to the hotel area, and soon found a villa located in the corner of the resort.

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

Anna Berkoska and five other girls, who arrived early, were preparing lunch with the glasses-wearing teacher, and although Maria Rozin was surprised by the arrival of the three unfamiliar girls, she thanked them and invited them to stay for lunch.

So he stayed.

Then, although there was obviously some sadness between her eyebrows, the female teacher with a gentle and easy-going personality quickly made the three girls feel a sense of closeness like a spring breeze, which was originally to watch the excitement, but soon expressed sympathy from the bottom of her heart, thinking that Teacher Maria's husband was really a bastard.

As for...... Well, the root cause of this matter, the girls will not delve into it.

Simon certainly can't be wrong.

Later, he also met Ms. Rozin's four children, three boys and one girl.

The eldest daughter, Annette Rozin, 21 years old, introduced as a junior at the National University of Science and Technology, with the same intellectual and gentle temperament as her mother, and learned that the other party was originally working as a summer job in Kyiv, apparently because of family changes to rush back to Rivni. The other three boys were hairy boys about the same age as them, and although they behaved very well when greeting, they were still sent out by Ms. Rozin, who took the initiative to avoid suspicion, at lunchtime, and did not serve them together.

At the end of the lively lunch, Anna and the girls took the initiative to say goodbye, and the three girls who had a crush on the teacher Maria in just a few hours left together.

Sending away the girls who came to see her, Maria Rozin returned to the living room of the villa with her daughter, and the extra attendant and a guard around her were already taking the initiative to clean up the mess after lunch, and were about to go over to help, but they were pulled by their daughter, paused, and followed them upstairs.

The mother and daughter went to a living room with a terrace on the second floor, sat down on the sofa, and felt the mother naturally reach over to smooth her hair, Annette Rozin, who had returned from Kiev yesterday afternoon, hesitated, and finally asked: "Mom, you and Dad, what the hell is going on?"

Maria Rozin froze, fell silent, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

How can you explain this?

At first, it had nothing to do with her at all, perhaps...... The big man from the United States knew about her, but she hadn't even seen him in person, so how could something happen?

It's just that because of some rumors, my husband doesn't think so.

She explained.

However, her husband, who had held important positions in the Antonov Design Bureau, was dismissed and came with her to Rivni. As a high-end faculty member recruited by the Westeros system for the Westside School in Rivney, Maria Rozin is paid $500 a month, while her husband can only find a position as a general engineer at a power plant on Rivni's side, which is equivalent to less than $40 a month because she helped to make contacts.

The reversal of circumstances can be imagined as the impact on men's self-esteem.

This time it finally broke out.

Although she explained seriously and did not even meet Simon Westeros at all, her husband did not believe it at all.

It wasn't too stiff at first, after all, it was also a twenty-year relationship.

It's just that the compromise proposed by her husband made her quit her current job, but it was difficult for her to agree.

It's not that I can't bear this job, but in addition to my daughter, who is already in college, the other three boys in the family are all studying at the West City School in Rivni.

Maria, who was born as a teacher, can better understand how strong the strength of the school in the west city of Rivni is, and it can be said that it is the best school of its kind in the whole of Ukraine at this stage.

Moreover, because of her relationship, the three children are not only completely free to attend the school in the west city of Rivni, but even enjoy some subsidies such as food, and the scholarship of this school is also very generous, and the three boys who inherited the good genes of the couple have successfully won the scholarship with excellent grades in the past year.

All of this means a bright future for children.

Now in Ukraine, such a future, many people can't ask for it even if they try their best. And if she resigns, Maria, who is also well aware of the threshold of the school in the city of Rivni, can imagine some kind of outcome, as a mother, she will not be able to give up her three children in order to preserve her husband's poor self-esteem because of some obvious false rumors.

Even, when her husband offered to let her resign, she was extremely disappointed.

The husband must have understood what might happen if she quit her job, but he only thought about himself and completely ignored the children.

A few days ago, when she insisted on going to teach the girls, her husband, who couldn't bear it after all, came to the door, hysterically broke the can, and talked about the conditions with the housekeeper of the hot spring manor on the spot, and she completely gave up the last trace of expectation for her husband, and gave him a few slaps on the spot.

Then, first of all, she was informed that she no longer needed to teach the girls, and it was soon learned that the other married female teachers in the manor had also stopped working, and it seemed that all of them had been replaced by unmarried women. She felt guilty for this, because she was well aware of the current turmoil in the country and how difficult it was to find such a job.

Although, it seems that these teachers who have been hired, even if they don't work, it seems to be nothing, but no one takes it for granted, and people with a little brain understand that there is a reward for paying, and if you only get paid for a long time and don't do anything, perhaps, one morning, you will get up one morning and your job will be gone.

And then, now.

She was placed in this villa, which was much more luxurious than the western residential area of the city, and two attendants were arranged. And not a little girl, how not to understand what it means, just, think about her own children, can she resist?

And all of this, when the daughter asked at this time, there was no way to explain it.

There can only be silence.

Annette Rozin felt the strong and suppressed emotions of her mother with red eyes, and the girl, who had been very sensible since she was a child, suddenly stopped asking, but gently hugged her mother: "Mom, I don't ask, in fact, I know that it must be Dad's fault, he has been in the past two years, anyway, as long as we are good." ”

Maria Rozin, who had suppressed these days, couldn't hold back anymore when she heard her daughter's persuasion, and tears finally fell.

It's just that she didn't cry in the end, after all, she was sitting on her mother's, she quickly eased her emotions again, turned around and touched the corners of her eyes, and remembered one more thing, Maria took her daughter's hand and said, "Anne, didn't you say that you were going to study abroad last year, are you sure where you are going?"

Annette Rozin didn't expect her mother to suddenly mention this, and shook her head in frustration: "Mom, I don't plan to study abroad, and when I graduate next year, I plan to start working." After all, after all...... If you can't apply to the best school, it doesn't make a difference whether you study abroad or not. Moreover, even if we apply, we may not be able to get a full scholarship, and we can't afford it. ”

Of course, Maria knows this, her daughter's grades have been very good since she was a child, but studying abroad can be said to be indispensable for money and grades.

Thinking about the level of consumption overseas, her monthly salary of $500 seems to be a lot in Ukraine, and she can't get it at all overseas. AND MY DAUGHTER IS A PROUD PERSON, SHE IS USED TO DOING HER BEST IN EVERYTHING, AND IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO GET AN OFFER FROM A TOP OVERSEAS UNIVERSITY, BUT IF YOU WANT TO ATTACH A FULL SCHOLARSHIP, IT MAY NOT BE SO EASY.

And if you go to a lower school, even if you get a scholarship, it may not be better not to go.

Thinking so, Maria said firmly: "You must go to study abroad, Annie, all you have to do is choose a school, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College in the United Kingdom, or, Harvard, Massachusetts, Stanford in the United States, baby, pick it and tell your mother, and the rest of your mother will deal with it." ”

Annette Rozin heard her mother's words, subconsciously looked at the villa beside her, paused, and shook her head again: "Mom, I'm not going." ”

Maria noticed her daughter's eyes and knew that she probably understood something, so she hesitated a little and didn't say anything more for the time being, anyway, her daughter is only a senior after the summer vacation, and if she wants to go abroad for graduate school, she will graduate at least next year, and there is still time. It's a big deal, I just help her arrange it privately.

Since, that man ...... I don't want to be stingy with her request.

The voices of the three sons came from downstairs, and for fear of being found again, Maria hurriedly tidied up her appearance again, and after a while went downstairs with her daughter.

With the majesty of a mother, she warned the three sons not to talk about the girls at noon, and sent them to do their homework, and after a while of his own guidance, when he heard his daughter's suggestion to go out for a walk, they left the villa together.

Annette took her mother's hand and walked on the road in the hotel area with a good view, only to find a uniform girl behind her after a while, looking at her mother suspiciously, Maria's face was inexplicably red, and she still didn't explain too much, it can't be said that there are a lot of foreign guests who come to Ukraine to have fun here, and she, her appearance and temperament are ...... It's also quite attractive, since she was entangled once, the female guard will dutifully follow her as long as she goes out these days.

The mother and daughter chatted while walking, passing by an intersection, and suddenly a woman wearing a long black dress, with a graceful temperament and a particularly conspicuous chest, turned from the side, and wore a pair of brown eyes, and no one should enter.

Moreover, the woman was also followed by a woman dressed similarly to the female guard behind Maria, and there were two, compared to the woman's leisure, the two uniformed girls were also carrying several large plastic bags in their hands, which contained various daily necessities, and it was obvious that they had just come from a nearby supermarket.

Opposite to each other, the two sides subconsciously stopped.

Annette looked at the two maids behind the woman, and then at the female guard behind their mother and daughter, her expression was slightly strange, and she noticed the weakness and embarrassment in her mother's expression.

There was just an instant stalemate, and the woman opposite eased up first, took off her glasses, and said with a smile: "Mary, you, um, is this your daughter?"

"Yes," the other party spoke, and Maria could only talk, but she forgot to help introduce her daughter, but said, "You, are you going back?"

"Well, I just went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities," the woman said, also hesitating slightly, and said, "Why don't you come over to my side for dinner in the evening?"
