After a few years, Coralie had officially joined Luke's company. On the contrary, Skylar's working hours had become very flexible.
Hendric started elementary school when he was six and a half years old.
Because Skylar had a special identity, Hendric was sent to a private school with good security.
Skylar tried his best to pick him up everyday ever since Hendric had started going to school.
Hendric was also very well- behaved. Other than doing homework when he got home, he would tell the family about any interesting things that happened in school.
On this day, Hendric came home and threw his schoolbag onto the floor. He then sighed and said, "Alas, women are too troublesome."
"What's wrong?"
When Coralie noticed that her son was trying to act like an adult, she had to hold back her laughter and pretend to be concerned.
"It's the same old issue. Today is the day of seats distribution. All of them wanted to sit at the same table as me. If it was not agreed, then they would cry."
Hendric sat on the sofa, his hands folded in front of his chest. His little brows were furrowed.
"Oh, why is that?" Coralie asked, even though she knew the answer.
"Of course it's because of my handsome appearance that has made me too popular."
Hendric was very proud of this; even though he said that it was an annoying issue, it could be seen from his face that he was actually happy about it.
"So in the end, who sat with you?" Coralie asked again.
"Eunice Freed." Hendric pouted his lips with dissatisfaction written on his face. "I wanted to sit at the same table with Elaine, but Eunice cried the loudest, so the teacher had no choice but to let her sit with me."
"Oh... That's fine. You can sit with Elaine next time."
"The next reorganization will be a month later, but now Elaine is sitting so far away from me."
"It's fine, you can go to do your homework first and go to bed early. Then, you can see Elaine tomorrow."
Coralie did not know how to comfort her son at this point. She could only pray that Hendric would be drowning in his studies and forget about all these "problems" for the time being.
After sending Hendric off, Skylar quietly washed his hands, changed his clothes, and entered the study room.
When Hendric entered his room, Coralie immediately followed after him and asked, "Skylar, have you seen Elaine Taylor?"
Coralie recalled that Hendric used to like the chubbiest girl in their neighbourhood, so she could not help but be curious about Elaine.
She was a little worried that Hendric's preference was different from other children's.
"Yes, I have."
"Is she chubby?"
"Chubby?" Skylar didn't expect Coralie to ask such a question. He shook his head and answered, "She's not fat. She's quite a cute little girl."
After hearing this, Coralie felt relieved.
The next morning,
When Coralie was checking Hendric's schoolbag for him after having breakfast, he suddenly asked, "Mom, will you come with Dad to pick me up this evening?"
"What's wrong? Are you annoyed by me now?"
Skylar, who was watching TV, immediately asked when he heard his son mentioning this.
"No." Hendric shook his head, and his face blushed little. "I realized that I really miss Elaine today. I decided to confess to her today, so please come together so that I can show you my girlfriend."
"Pfft!"
Coralie looked at Hendric and couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Are you so sure that Elaine will agree to be your girlfriend?" Coralie was somewhat curious.
