"Fine!"
Ace's renowned haughtiness finally gave way to Joanna's gentle persuasions. He turned the steering wheel with one hand while he tousled her hair with the other. "For the sake of my angelic wife, I won't stoop to their level today."
And so, they agreed to part ways—Ace drove away and headed towards the open-air parking lot less than half a mile away, while Joanna got out of the car and queued up in front of the kindergarten gate and waited her turn to pick up her kids. Once the kids were with her, Ace drove back to the kindergarten, and they would meet up again.
In fact, many other parents had opted to do the same thing, because there were just too few parking spots in front of the kindergarten, so it did not matter whether you were a powerful official or a common citizen, once they became parents, they had to abide by the rules to set a good example for their children.
