This scene did not escape Micah's notice, though his expression remained unchanged.

He had the charger in hand, but he didn't approach immediately. Just then, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, his eyes grew noticeably colder. He answered the call.

A gentle voice sounded in his ear, "Brother, when are you coming back?"

"Not coming back for now," Micah responded coldly. At this moment, he seemed entirely different from the gentle, polite man he was with the children or when speaking with Nina.

There was a brief silence on the other end before the voice, tinged with anticipation, said, "Brother, when you decide to come back, please call me, or let someone inform me in advance..." "Got it. I have things to do, I'm hanging up now." Without another word, Micah ended the call.

The woman on the other end heard the beeping of the disconnected line, a flash of anger crossing her eyes. She was seemingly blaming him for hanging up too quickly and not being affectionate enough.

After Carl knocked the cheese cake from her hand, Nina simply stared at him for a few seconds. Then, she picked it up, brushing off the dust and dirt.

"I've told you several times to control your temper," Nina said, her face reflecting her displeasure.

She had a temper too. If Carl couldn't control his anger and ruined things, she wouldn't consider cooperating with him further.

"So you want me to act like you? Sure, this Mr. Micah might be different. You two have a lot to talk about. You can both be teachers here and have a great future!" Carl said through gritted teeth, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes burning with hatred.
