Novel Bin Chapter 681 - Changing Schools
Lisa immediately remembered that William did not know the name of the woman who always gave him snacks. The boy always called Amelia \'Mama-in-law\' so it was only natural that William didn\'t know the woman\'s name.
"Oh, I mean, it\'s that one aunt who always gives you snacks. Your girlfriend\'s mother, I guess?"
Hearing Lisa\'s explanation immediately made William grumble in annoyance. He pushed his empty plate away and pursed his lower lip, "That aunty never visited school anymore or gave me some snacks. In fact, my girlfriend is cranky now because she knows I\'m going to change schools."
Lisa doesn\'t care if she is labeled as a bad mother or selfish enough to sacrifice her child\'s happiness. Now she felt so happy. Happy that Amelia no longer came and gave William snacks, happy that the boy had a fight and may have broken up with his girlfriend.
Because to be honest, Lisa strongly opposed the idea of her son dating at a young age. If the boy dated when he was in junior high or high school, Lisa could still understand it. But dating when the boy was just 5 years old? No. Lisa would never agree to it.
At first, Lisa was happy to know that the woman and her child didn\'t bother William anymore. But when she saw the look on William\'s face that was filled with sadness, she felt bad.
"William, if you are really in love with the girl you like now, one day you will definitely meet her again." Lisa said while stroking William\'s head.
"But when I meet her later, will she still be waiting for me? What if she has a boyfriend?"
For a 5 year old, Lisa doesn\'t understand William\'s way of thinking. How could the boy think this far? Shouldn\'t a boy his age be busy with toys and cartoons? How come William had such a complicated thought?
"True love will always be waiting for you, whether it\'s ten or twenty years in the future. If she really loves you or is destined to be your life partner, you will definitely meet her again someday. Like—"
Lisa immediately covered her mouth tightly when she realized what she was going to say next. Why is she so stupid and spit out nonsense about love? William is still 5 years old!
It doesn\'t feel right for her to discuss such a thing with a 5 year old child.
Having this in mind made Lisa smile sweetly and touch the top of William\'s head, "Everything is already arranged. Just calm down."

After finishing their short breakfast, Lisa and Oscar took turns showering. While Oscar\'s bathing, Lisa entered William\'s bedroom and helped the boy get ready. Starting from putting on some casual clothes, matching his sneakers, and combing his fluffy hair.
Call her too much, it\'s just that every time she put the tiny clothes in a suitcase that was taller than William, she felt her eyes heat up.
Since today was completely unplanned, Lisa contacted the company she worked for while on the road. There was an important meeting with investors, but Lisa decided to leave for half a day.
The process of transferring William to a new school did not take long. At his old school, while Lisa and Oscar were taking care of the paperwork and talking in the principal\'s office, William was sent to his old class to say goodbye.
As Lisa could imagine, when William came out of his old classroom, the boy couldn\'t stop crying. William is a boy who rarely cries. So, the moment she saw the boy sobbing and his eyes turning red, she felt her heart shatter into pieces.
Suddenly, Lisa crouched down and held the boy in her arms. Her hands couldn\'t stop patting William\'s back, trying to calm him.
Luckily when he got to the car, the boy gradually stopped crying. Before going to William\'s new school, Oscar stopped briefly at a fast food restaurant to buy his son ice cream.
During the trip, Lisa did not want to be far from the boy. Even though William had stopped crying and was busy eating ice cream, Lisa still had the boy on her lap. She didn\'t want to lose time alone with William.
The boarding school that Oscar chose turned out to be one of the few elite schools in Indonesia. All the students who attended there came from rich families. Not to mention that they provided a free supermarket for students. The school only sent proof of purchase to their parents and the parents would take care of it and transfer the required amount of money.
Seeing the big and elite boarding school made Lisa\'s heart feel a little calm.
Lisa and Oscar walked hand in hand while holding William\'s hand who was standing in the middle of them. Arriving in front of the principal\'s office, Lisa crouched down in front of the boy and kissed William on both cheeks.
"William, listen to your teacher and don\'t be naughty while you\'re in here, okay? Don\'t forget to make lots of friends. When it\'s time for bed, you have to go to sleep immediately or Mama will be very angry with you. Eat lots of vegetables, don\'t just eat the side dishes. Then—"
"Mom, I know." William interrupted with a small chuckle, "I am all grown up! So you take it easy, I can take care of myself here anyway."
Lisa smiled at William\'s reply. The woman hugged him one last time, and sighed.
"Mommy will definitely miss you."
William returned his mother\'s hug and said, "I will miss you too."
Lisa let go of her arms and let Oscar carry the boy. The sound of William\'s laughter echoing in her heart made Lisa want to record it on her cell phone so she could hear it whenever she wanted.
"Okay, here you go." Oscar ordered after holding the boy and kissing William on the cheek.
William cleared his throat, "Papa, please take care of yourself and also Mama. Don\'t keep fighting Mama all the time."
"Yeah yeah."
The principal watched their interaction with a big smile. The middle-aged woman then touched the back of William\'s head and said, "Are you ready to study here? Do you want to go to your new class now?"
"Yes!"
"Alright," The middle-aged woman chuckled and called out to one of the teachers who walked past them, "Please take William to his new class."
"Bye Mama, Bye Papa!"
