Chapter 104 104: School Problem

Name:My Ex Next Door Author:Sarahatici
After Ken finished his work, the triplets arrived in his office. Both Ethan and Leo were wearing their uniform which was white polo shirt with light blue bow matched with their light blue pants, Ken thought it was tactless when Daniella showed the design to him but when he saw the two boys wearing it, he realized that it looks neat and cute

When he turned to Alexa, his opinion about the uniform faded, the girl was wearing the same uniform but with a skirt instead of pants. Alexa had her hair messed up as if it's been destroyed by a tornado while her while uniform turned cream with all the dirt all over it and her light blue skirt which almost reached the floor soaked in mud.

His head tilted in confusion and asked, "Do you have parents?"

Instead of replying the little girl snubs him and sat on the couch.

"What happened to her," Ken asked Ethan, the boy looked at him and shrug a shoulder.

"She got into a fight with our classmate" Ken rose an eyebrow upon hearing it. His eyes switched between Alexa and her brother in confusion, the two boys clothes were clean but crimpled while Alexa's clothes were full of dirt and her face and body were covered in scratches.

"You didn't help her?" he asked the two boys in disbelief.

"We tried to stop them but, the boys held our hands and when they let us go we could not hurt them because the people who hurt Alexa were girls" Leo replied.

Ken closed his suitcase and shook his head, seems like the boys misunderstand their mother.

"ok? Those girls hurt your sister. No matter what the gender, height or age of that person, if they hurt your sister you need to protect her punch them until they can no longer walk" he scolded them and entered the restroom. When he came out, he had a wet towel in his hand and clean Alexa's face while removing some of the leaves in her hair.

Through the corner of his eyes, he saw the two boys lowering their heads in guilt.

"I will not say anything to your mother but since she's the chairman of the school, she will get the news soon so you two better find a good excuse. Even I, myself is scared of your mother" Ken got up and carried Alexa in his arm, the girl didn't protest and been silent since she arrived.

"Let's go home" saying that the two boys walked by his side while holding on the sleeve of his shirt.

When they entered the elevator, Ken saw his reflection through the mirror.

(Wait, did I just told them to hurt a girl) he twitched his lips as he scans himself.

"When did I become your father?" he asked the triplets. With Alexa in his arms and Ethan and Leo on both side, he looked like their father.

He sighed and they all walked to the opposite building where he lives.

When they knocked on the door, Novie opened it and immediately, her eyebrow raised while looking at Alexa.

"Oh God! Alexa, what happened to you?" Novie stretched her arms and Ken handed the girl to her.

When Alexa buried her face to Novie's shoulder, she started crying, seems like the girl has been holding her tears.

Novie put Alexa in the bathtub and slowly undress her. When she saw all the bruises and scratches in Alexa's stomach, her eyes went round in shock.

She got up and stormed out of the bathroom in a huff to ask Alexa's brother.

"What happened to her?" she asked and turned off the stove, she was preparing the dinner when they came.

The two boys were sitting on the couch with their eyes staring at the floor.

"Someone called her fat so she threatened to have them expelled but they mock her saying our mommy is always not around, so Alexa throws the books at them and they started throwing balls and books back at her, we tried to stop them but the other boys were holding us" Ethan spoke while his fingers were tapping the screen of his table.

Novie paces around the living room while biting her nails, thinking that Daniella entrusted the triplets to her and on the first day, Alexa got hurt.

She gulped and clenched both of her hands.

"What about your teacher? What is your teacher doing?" she asked.

"Our teacher went to the principal's office so she didn't witness it. When she came back, the students told her that we started it so now she wants to meet our guardian" Leo replied and took something out of his bag, when he handed it to Novie, the woman widened her eyes in shock.

Novie turned to Ken while rage started to boil her blood.

"Evan owns the school right?" She asked Ken.

The man who just removed his shoes and shirt shrugged a shoulder, "Daniella made the school for the kids with an extraordinary brain, the teachers and principals don't care even you are the president. They always handle the situation based on the policy, and since the rest of their classmates told that it's their fault, the teacher believed them" Ken explained and went straight to the kitchen

"Those fools! Don't worry I will go to your school tomorrow and show them what justice is" Novie exclaimed in anger, her body trembles in rage, thinking how could a kid lie after hurting someone. The paper was requesting for Daniella and Evan to come into the school since the other parents demanded the triplets to be suspended.

When she entered the bathroom, she looked at Alexa who was sitting on the bathtub with tears in her eyes and slowly rubbing her wound.

She sat down and patted her head. Suddenly, she feels guilty that because of her Daniella didn't have time with her kids.

She sighed and thought if she should call Daniella since this is her kids.

"Are you all right?" she asked in concern. Alexa nodded and gave her a faint smile.

"Yes,"

Novie sighed, all the bruises around Alexa's body was making her body shiver.

"Don't worry. I will go to your school tomorrow," as she said those words, her hands were carefully drying body.

Sadness gloom in Alexa's eyes when Novie looked at her through the mirror, the usual cheerful face of Alexa was gone.

"Do you miss your mommy?" she asked in a low tone.

Alexa looked at her and shook her head, "Not really, I just saw her yesterday before she left but I am missing brownie" Novie creased her brows in confusion and wonder who brownie was.

Seems like Alexa was able to read her confusion, "Brownie is my dog. It's the Siberian husky dog that Uncle Ken bought for my mommy before but he died when he ran outside. Uncle Matthew left the gate open and a car drive him over" when Alexa said those words, another tear ran down from her eyes.

Novie pitied her, she has seen the dog before but Daniella didn't give the dog a name and it always stays by the triplet's side especially Alexa.

"We can ask your uncle Ken to buy you a new dog, do you want?"

Novie could see Alexa's eyes widened in surprise, the girl lowered her hairbrush and turned her back to face her.

"Really?" Alexa asked.

Novie giggled and replied, "Yes"

"Wait, but I already ask Uncle Ken to get us one but he refused it. He doesn't want to go to Siberia for a dog" Alexa pouted which made Novie's heart to jump. Her chubby and blushing cheeks were so adorable that she wanted to pinch them while her small glossy lips were pouting like the lip of a duck.

"Don't worry I will make sure he will get us one. Do you prefer a man or a woman dog?"

"Woman, so she can have many babies" Alexa spoke in a cheered voice while clapping her hands, they both giggled by her response.

After Novie helped Alexa to put her pajamas on, the little girl took a necklace out of her skirt pocket. Novie was surprised to see her engagement ring acted as the pendant of the necklace.

"Wait, this is my previous engagement ring? Where did you get it?" she spoke in disbelief while trying to reach out the necklace.

Alexa took a step back and held the necklace tightly.

"Finder keepers Aunt Novie. I found it in my mommy's bag and she allows me to keep it" Alexa blurted while squeezing herself in the corner, both of her round eyes were glaring at her while she had an expression of a cat who was preparing to attack a dog.

"I -" she wanted to say that she doesn't have a plan to take the ring, all she wanted to do was to look at it, but the way Alexa was protecting the necklace she figures that it will be hard to convince her.

"Daddy said I am not allowed to get married as long as he lives which means no one will propose to me, so Auntie, I hope you will not take the ring back." Alexa was pouting her glossy lips while her eyes glistened in tears.
