At that moment, Arya rushed over from around the corner.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She had no makeup on and was wearing sunglasses. "I lost track of time while painting. Can
you forgive me, Sephy?"
She panted after running and hadn't even washed the paint off her hands.
But Persephone smiled as soon as she saw her and hugged her like a puppy.
Toph stood next to them, wearing a light smile.
The PE teacher looked at Arya. "Sephy, is she your family, too?"
"Yes!" Persephone nodded.
Arya blushed and instinctively looked at Toph, then quickly looked away.

she liked her uncle more?
Despite his usual teasing, he was very protective of her when it mattered!
She frowned and decided not to introduce them as her parents had asked. Teachers could be replaced, but she only
had one uncle who was so close to her in the entire world!
Thus, she grabbed Toph and Arya's hands on each side and lifted her chin proudly. Her baby voice was loud. "Look,
sir! This is my uncle, and this is my... aunt-in-law! They'll always pick me up from now on!"
The PE teacher waved at them with a smile.
Toph and Arya were stunned, blushing and looking at Persephone disapprovingly. They both said simultaneously,
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl!"
"Hmm?" Persephone was puzzled.
Their expressions and tones were identical even as they spoke!
"Alright, alright. Let's go home now," Toph quickly said. "You little monkey. Your mom said you have a piano lesson in
the afternoon."
"No!" She was scared of piano class.
Unlike the princesses of other prestigious families, she had to learn the usual things like music and art but had zero
interest in them. However, she was full of energy when it came to outdoor activities. Hiking, swimming, jumping on
the trampoline—she could do it all!
Toph knew her best and grinned evilly.
"Okay, stop scaring her," Arya said, not sure whether to laugh or cry as she shoved him.

heard that you learned a lot in school today. Let's balance work and play. We'll take you to the theme park. How
about that?"
"Yay!" Persephone cheered, clapping her hands.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a theme park in Southern City. It wasn't crowded, making it relatively safe.
Although the facilities were a bit dated, they were still in good condition.
Back in its prime, this place had been built with top-quality materials. It had its glory days but eventually fell into
obscurity.
Persephone wanted to go on the merry-go-round.
Toph tried to put her in the pumpkin carriage, but she cruelly objected, "I want the horsie! Horsie!"
"No!" Toph was firm. "You're a girl, and you're wearing a dress!"
"I don't care!"
"Persephone!"
