"Keira Leaf--!" Olivia Leaf gnashed her teeth as she called out Keira's name, her eyes shooting fire but they landed on Tristan Leaf.
Tristan Leaf ducked behind Keira, poked his head out, and asked Classmate Howard Adams, "Is your mum a tigress?"
"What's a tigress?"
"It's your mum..."
Before Tristan could finish his sentence, Classmate Howard Adams sat on the ground, crying his eyes out, "I don't want a tigress... I don't want a tigress... "
Keira, with laughter causing her chest to ache, quickly took the opportunity while Olivia was dealing with Classmate Howard Adams to make a run for it with Tristan, praying for the lovely Howard Adams for a while even after they got into the car.
Once calm, Keira rested her chin in her hand and stared at Tristan. After a long while, she asked, "Tristan Leaf, who taught you the word 'tigress'?"
Tristan blinked his watery eyes and said, "Uncle Fatty."
"And where did you hear the word 'nose hair'?"
"Uncle Mason."
