Chapter 614 - Changing Boarding School
Lisa pinched William's cheek, "That's it. Mama can't make a decision like this without Papa's knowledge. Papa also agreed to transfer you to a better school, better facilities too, and a higher quality of teaching."
Hearing that made William even more stunned.
How come? His parents had promised not to transfer him to another school, but what he heard just now was completely the opposite. He thought that his father would defend him and comply with his request, but it turned out he preferred to join his mother.
He knew that whatever his mother wanted, his father would support her wishes that sometimes he felt his father forgot his presence.
Seeing William's 'weird' look on his face, his blank eyes and pursed lips, made Lisa realize that the boy didn't want to change schools.
Lisa knew how William felt now. If she were in William's shoes, having gained a lot of friends and even a crush then suddenly got moved by his parents, she would definitely not agree. She'd react worse than William, sulking and maybe never recover from her anger.
William must have felt heavy if he had to leave his comfort zone.
For the past 2 years, William has been closely acquainted with his classmates, has become his teacher's favorite student, and is already familiar with the school's learning system.
So it's only natural that William would not agree if he had to be transferred to another school.
"Mom, is my future wife allowed to change schools too?" William asked quietly. From the way the boy spoke and the look in his eyes, Lisa knew that William knew that his mother would refuse his request.
Lisa frowned at William's request. At a young age like this, the boy is already infatuated with a girl whom Lisa is sure will not be his wife one day. This is really worrying.
He's supposed to go crazy about toy cars or watching cartoons, and not girls.
"I can't. If she moves to the same school as you, her mother will definitely be angry and disappointed with you!"
Like it or not, Lisa had to lie to William so the boy would believe her. Apart from that, she had no other answer apart from that.
William tilted his head and said, "Why? She will become my wife later, my life partner. One day, she will also live in the same house as me. So why won't her mother allow her to transfer schools with me?"
That's because he will be transferred to an all-boys boarding school!
A few days ago, Lisa and Oscar both agreed to transfer William to a boarding school, not an overseas school as they had originally planned.
Since William will graduate from kindergarten, Oscar decided to immediately put him in elementary school. After all, they didn't have to worry about William skipping lessons. The boy's intelligence exceeds that of his age!
At first, Lisa did not agree if William had to go straight to elementary school without completing his studies in kindergarten first. Besides, she wasn't sure to let William go alone at a young age.
The boarding school that Lisa knows is that they are only given time out of the dorm during semester breaks, class promotions, and the end of the year. Other than that, they'll have to stay in the dorm.
How could Lisa accept not seeing her child for that long?
But if William lived in the dormitory, Lisa would be at ease. Living in a boarding school is like living in a place that is guarded 24/7. The rules were also strict, so the chances of William being kidnapped is very small.
"If you take your girl to the same school as you, her mother will definitely not agree. You will be sent to an all-boys school, so how could her mother agree? Besides, do you want your girl to be ogled by other guys?"
William shook his head quickly.
"Well, that's what I meant. If you keep nagging and asking your girl to move to another school, her mother will be disappointed and angry with you because you didn't talk to her first. Maybe her mother will be so angry that she won't allow you and her daughter to talk anymore. Do you want that to happen?"
Again, William shook his head rapidly.
At times like this, Lisa feels like she is talking to her teenage son, not a kindergartner. Until now, she still doesn't think that the boy already has a crush while still in kindergarten.
Times have changed rapidly. Back then, when Lisa was William's age, she wasn't too busy thinking about dating or other weird things. She always thought of ways to play with her friends at school and with her sister at home.
William kept playing his mother's words in his little head. What the woman said was true. How could the mother of his girlfriend want her child to be transferred to an all-boys school? William wouldn't want to offend his future mother-in-law, otherwise he wouldn't be able to marry her daughter!
Even though William knew he could do nothing but agree to his father and mother's request, the boy still felt sad. He pursed his lips while nodding his head.
"Well that's it. Since Papa and Mama already had such a plan, I can't do anything. It's up to you, I will go along."
"You should know the reason we want to send you to boarding school, right? It's because we think of you as our dearest, our most precious treasure, honey. We don't want you to experience something bad again, okay?"
William sighed, "Well... I guess I'm a diamond then?"
Lisa looked at William who was sitting across from. She bit her lower lip and tried to hide her embarrassment by chuckling.
"That's right, you're our most treasured diamond!" Lisa said with a hint of embarrassment, then got up from her seat and kissed the boy's head, "I'm sorry dear."
Since Oscar and Lisa had actually enrolled William into boarding school long before Lisa told William about this matter, Lisa decided to prepare the things that William needed during school there.
"Oh, Mom, why do I have to bring a change of clothes?"
William was only 5 years old, so of course the boy didn't know what boarding school was.
"You… You're not kicking me out of the house, right?"
