......
"Such a young kid learning horse riding?" Coralie thought to herself.
However, she couldn't say anything.
As Lillian seemed to be in a good mood, she just followed Lillian's wishes.
"That's fine."
Jayson had only come to help, so he could only agree with Lillian. After all, she had the right to speak as the child was with her.
"Well, then I'll send the child over there tomorrow. You can pick him up every fortnight. And when you do, drop the child at my place."
Lilian said.
Upon hearing this, Coralie was a little dumbfounded. "Half a month? What do you mean?"
"It's a boarding school." Lillian looked at Coralie in disdain, as if she was a bumpkin who had never seen the world. "All the good schools nowadays are boarding schools. The parents are busy so they can't drive their children back and forth to school. However, the teachers there are much better than you."
Lillian would rather trust those teachers whom she had never met before, rather than trust Coralie.
"But it is as you've said. Those kids are going to boarding school because their parents are busy. I am not so I can drive Hendric back and forth to school," she insisted.
"Have you finally realized who you're talking to right now? Where did that arrogant attitude of yours go?"
Lillian taunted as soon as she heard the change in tone from Coralie.
Coralie was immediately angered upon hearing that, but she could only soften her voice to avoid conflict with Lilian. After all, she hadn't seen Hendric yet, and she was only here because of Jayson. "I may have been a little anxious, but rightfully so. After all, I'm Hendric's mother, and you have just snatched him away."
"I'm his grandmother! How could I hurt him?"
Lillian placed her both hands on her hips arrogantly.
"But... I don't think he needs to go to a boarding school."
How could Coralie bear to let her child attend a boarding kindergarten?
Coralie felt that the only reason Lilian would suggest something like this, was because she didn't love Hendric at all.
"Good schools are all boarding schools. On top of that, boarding schools cultivate students to become more independent. Moreover, if other people's kids are able to stay there, what makes Hendric an exception?"
Lillian had always liked comparing herself to others.
She would naturally not let go of the matter concerning her grandson's kindergarten.
Before Coralie had the chance to say something else. Jayson interrupted, "Then we'll do as you say, boarding school it is. It is good to train the child as well."
......
Coralie felt frustrated after hearing Jayson’s words.
“Yes, I agree that it would be beneficial for the kid to learn how to be independent.” Lilian glanced at Coralie and said, “Hendric will be staying at my place today, I’ll send him to school tomorrow.”
“No way!” Coralie protested at once, “You have no experience in taking care of children! ”
“Wasn’t it me who brought up Skylar?” Lillian argued.
Deep down, Lilian knew that what she said was a lie. When Skylar was younger, babysitters would be there to look after him while she was playing tabletop games with her friends. If she had a good game, she would hug him for a little while; if she had lost, then she would ignore him completely.
When Skylar had grown a little older, his time had been fully occupied with the homework that Anthony had assigned to him.
In fact, Skylar and Lillian weren't even close.
“But Hendric hasn’t met you before!”
Coralie started growing anxious.
From Lilian's words, Coralie had guessed that Lilian wasn't going to allow her to meet Hendric that day.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
