Mary took Francis to the school and explained his situation to the principal. She didn't say much as she did not know him very well.
Francis then stayed alone in the principal's office for an interview.
Mary didn't think he had much chance of staying, especially after the conversation they had just had on the way. She felt that Belland's brother was slightly odd.
Odd in character.
With this attitude, it would be difficult to convince Principal Dick.
But to Mary's surprise, Francis came out of Principal Dick's room and lit a cigarette with a smug look on his face. "We'll be colleagues from now on, Miss Mary."
He looked at Mary. Today, Mary was wearing a black business suit with a white collared shirt. She had a pair of big glasses sitting on the bridge of her nose. She looked very conservative.
She seemed to be a completely different person at home.
At this moment, Mary was also surprised.
Did Principal Dick agree? He didn't even ask Francis to go back and wait for the phone call, but agreed to hire him on the spot?
Mary found it hard to believe. Moreover, the guy who had looked so reluctant half an hour ago seemed to want to stay.
He was indeed a strange guy.
That was Mary's assessment of Francis.
At the end of the morning class, Mary told Francis to go home by himself and handed him her car keys.
Mary herself got into the Belland's car, which was waiting for her by the school gate.
Today was Uncle Jack's birthday and they were going to Uncle Jack's house. His house was located at the Upper East Side of Central Park East in New York City.
Green Grid town was located south of Manhattan. It was less than an hour's drive from New York City and was considered a rich town. After graduating from New York University, Mary and her husband chose to live in Green Grid town.
It was mainly because the rent in the town was cheaper. Mary and her husband, who had just graduated, could not afford to pay too much rent.
Originally, this house was not something they could afford, but it had its own shortcomings such as the master bedroom did not have an en-suite bathroom.
Mary had used this to bargain with the landlord. Unexpectedly, the kind landlord agreed to Mary's price very quickly.
"Principal Dick is really too nice. He only did a simple interview and did not even ask Francis to prepare any materials before he agreed to let him take up the position. Principal Dick is really a good person." Mary said happily.
Although Francis' eccentric personality made her a little wary and distant, she was happy to be able to help her husband find a job for his younger brother.
Belland freed a long and slender hand and rubbed Mary's hair. "Principal Dick must have given Francis this opportunity because of my wife. Thank you, Mary."
He spent some time to kiss Mary on the lips. It was a very sweet kiss.
Mary pursed her lips and smiled. "It seems so. After all, I have worked diligently at Princeton Primary School for six months and have never made any mistakes."
Belland nodded in agreement. "An excellent primary school teacher like my wife will definitely be able to educate our children into elites in the future."
Belland had always wanted to have a child and Mary knew that. Although she was not prepared, she allowed him to occasionally act without contraception.
Unfortunately, until now, the heavens did not seem to be planning to reward Mary with this child.
This made Mary feel disappointed, but also a little secretly happy.
After all, with the heavy financial pressure and endless loans plaguing her and Belland currently, they were not ready for a child.
Belland had mentioned that he had an insurance policy that his parents had prepared for him, and he could settle all of Mary's loans, including her school loan and the mortgage on the house.
But Mary had refused, thinking that things would always get better if the two of them put in the effort.
She did not want Belland to give up the insurance that his parents had worked so hard to buy for him, just for her. Especially since Mary had not met his parents. How could she let her burden become a burden for Belland and his family?
They had already reached the upper east side.
From where they were, one could see the gatekeeper in uniform by the street, calling for a taxi for the owner of the mansion. A woman, dressed elegantly, led a well-groomed dog. She was heading to Central Park for a stroll with her child and nanny.
Mary looked at the beautifully decorated mansions by the street, and her eyes were filled with envy.
"Maybe we can buy a house here soon." Mary said casually.
"You can move here anytime, Mdm. Croft," Belland said with a smile.
Mary said with a smile, "You're so optimistic, Mr. Glatton."
Belland wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He organized his thoughts and began, "Mary, maybe it is time I confess to you..."
"Hey! Mabel!" Mary saw her cousin Mabel standing on the street and quickly opened the window to signal her husband to stop the car.
Without needing her to say anything, Belland had already stopped the car.
"Are you calling for a taxi? We'll give you a ride. Come on in." Mary was very happy to see Mabel, even though her cousin's personality was not very likable.
Mabel was beautiful, with long blonde wavy hair. Her figure was curvaceous. She was wearing a short dress that wrapped tightly around her body highlighting her figure.
She glanced at the second-hand vintage car that Mary was in. "Oh, your husband has been working in New York for a few months, and he hasn't changed to a more comfortable car?"
Mary was disappointed with Mabel's attitude. This woman always disappointed her.
At this moment, a silver-gray sports car stopped in front of the Belland car.
The Mazda MX-5 was not considered a luxury car, but it was the number one car sold this year. Of course, being the most popular car did not necessarily mean that it was expensive. Still, for now, the price was something that Mary could afford.
"Hey, Jerry." Mabel welcomed the owner of the sports car. She hugged and kissed him passionately.
Mabel then said to Mary, who was still sticking her head out of the car window, "I would love to invite you to experience it, but unfortunately, there's no space. I'll see you at home."
As she said that, she twisted her graceful body and turned around. Before she turned, she even winked flirtatiously at Belland, who was seated in the second-hand vintage car.
After getting into the car, Jerry asked Mabel, "Who are they?"
Mabel was bored by this question. "Don't bother with them. It's my cousin and her poor husband. Mary was the prettiest in our family when she was young. She was also the best in all aspects. It's a pity that she found a man with no ambition."
Jerry smiled casually. "The man driving the car is her husband? I can guarantee that he used his face to deceive your cousin."
--
As the sports car drove away, Mary retracted her head in disappointment. "She didn't even introduce her new boyfriend to me. Well, Mabel has always been like this, with her petty and condescending personality."
Mary was mainly sorry that her husband had been left out.
Belland, however, did not care at all. He even commented, "At least it's better than those sneaky people who have knives hidden behind their smiles."
The car stopped in front of Uncle Jack's courtyard.
Uncle Jack had lived in a small town in his early years, but he had made a lucky windfall in the coal mine industry and his whole family moved to the Upper East Side.
Mary was certain that the quality and financial resources of Uncle Jack's family was not quite at the level of the Upper East Side. After all, when one thought of the Upper East Side, one would immediately associate it with power and wealth.
However, Uncle Jack and his family were just upstarts trying to squeeze into this circle of wealth.
For example, Mabel had been dating around a lot as she was determined to become a standard socialite. Until now, she had not found someone good enough to carry her into the upper class.
Either she thought it was the right person, and they did not choose her, or they thought she was the right person but she ended up looking down on their wealth.
After Mary got out of the car, she quickly found her parents among the people chatting in front of the gate. At the same time, she remembered that her husband seemed to have wanted to say something. "What did you want to say to me just now?".
Belland smiled helplessly. "I love you."
Mary happily held onto Belland's arm.
Fortunately, she had a thoughtful husband. After all, what she was most worried about was that her husband would feel sad because of Uncle Jack's family's neglect today.
"Promise me that you won't take their words to heart later. After all, they don't know anything." Mary comforted Belland in advance.
