Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen: "A New Beginning"

The day had arrived when Liam's daughter, Lilly, was to start her school life. As they sat together in the car, Lilly's eyes shone with excitement. "Daddy, I'm so happy to go to school and make friends and play with them!" she exclaimed in her innocent and charming voice.

Liam couldn't help but smile at his daughter's enthusiasm. "Of course, you'll be happy to make new friends," he replied with a chuckle.

When they pulled up to the school, the sight of a luxurious car caught the attention of the other parents. Whispers and glances exchanged among them as they tried to catch a glimpse of the occupants. As Liam and Lilly stepped out of the car, their presence seemed to cast a spell over the gathering.

All eyes were on them as they made their way towards the school entrance. A billionaire and his adorable daughter, embarking on the journey of school life, was a spectacle that none could ignore. The buzz of curiosity was palpable, a mixture of awe and intrigue spreading through the crowd.

Inside the school building, Liam and Lilly disappeared from view as they headed towards the principal's office. Principal Miller greeted Liam warmly and gestured for him to take a seat.

"Mr. Parker, welcome to our school," she began. "Rest assured, your daughter will be in good hands. Our staff members are child-friendly and responsible."

Liam nodded, his gaze thoughtful. After a moment, he leaned forward and posed a question. "Principal Miller, would it be possible for me to select a staff member as a mentor and guide for my daughter?"

The principal smiled kindly. "Of course, Mr. Parker. We encourage parental involvement. You're welcome to choose someone from our staff."

With that, she handed him a list of staff members' names. Liam perused the list, his eyes scanning the names until he found the one he was looking for. He pointed to the name and said, "I'd like to choose Sophia."

Principal Miller's eyes lit up. "An excellent choice, Mr. Parker. Sophia is a wonderful soul. She loves all the children in this school and treats them with equal care. The children adore her as well."

The principal called her assistant over and instructed her to bring Sophia to the office. As they waited, Liam's heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity. He had made his decision, and he hoped that Sophia would agree to take on the role of Lilly's mentor.

Meanwhile, Lilly's excitement was palpable. She could hardly contain her joy at the prospect of making new friends and exploring her new environment. She chatted animatedly with her father, her enthusiasm infectious.

Finally, the door to the principal's office opened, revealing Sophia standing there, a blend of surprise and curiosity on her face. Principal Miller introduced her to Liam, and their eyes met in a moment of recognition. Despite the passage of time and the circumstances that had led them apart, a spark of familiarity remained.

Liam extended his hand with a warm smile. "Sophia, it's good to see you again."

Sophia shook his hand, her heart racing. "Likewise, Mr. Parker."

As they exchanged pleasantries, principal Miller didn't give much thought about their interaction she just thought they might have meet in Liam one of the charity which Sophia and her friend Emma went there few weeks back. Liam's gaze flickered towards Lilly, who was looking up at Sophia with a mixture of curiosity and shyness. A sense of warmth spread through his heart as he imagined the bright future that awaited his daughter in this school. And maybe there will be more chances to see his ex wife😏😉.
