Clapping her hands gently, Elizabeth announced, "Alright, parents! You can stay for five minutes more if you'd like. Then, we'll start our morning activities."
Nathaniel glanced at Elsie, seeing a reassuring look on her face. He knew that it was time to leave Lorianne here until her pick-up time later.
Taking a deep breath, Nathaniel once again knelt beside Lorianne's tiny chair. He gently patted her back before kissing the little one's forehead.
"Mommy and Daddy will leave now. Listen to your teachers well, en?"
"Okay~ I love you, Daddy," Lorianne hugged Nathaniel's arm, giggles spilling from her mouth.
"I love you too, my little princess."
Nathaniel reluctantly released Lorianne from his embrace. He watched Elsie hugging their daughter, exchanging 'I love you' before the mother and daughter pecked each other's face.
If possible, he wanted to stay here, watching how their child's first day unfolded, but he knew he couldn't do that.
"We'll go now, Lorrie."
