Chapter 1119
After finishing up those tasks and getting back home, it was just about dinner time.
Instead of hitching a ride with Wayne, Rosalynn drove herself back.
By the time she arrived, Cory and Ivy had already returned home.
Wayne was leaning against the car door, waiting for Rosalynn.
He walked over to help her open the car door after she parked her car.
“I heard from Hector that you made that kid cry before you left?” Wayne asked.
“That’s on him for being too soft–hearted, I was just laying down the law.” Rosalynn replied, “Is Ivy still crying?”
“Of course she’s still crying…” Wayne said with a pained expression, “Honey, about what happened today…
“I know, you probably thought she did nothing wrong in defending herself.” Rosalynn looked at Wayne. That was his
usual way of doing things.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWayne didn’t say anything, which could be interpreted as an agreement.
After watching the surveillance video of the kid bullying Ivy, he was itching to wring the kid’s neck.
“She’s too young right now. This is when her worldview is being formed. You all are praising her for solving
problems with violence now. What if next time she fights with other kids not for Cory’s sake?” Rosalynn asked
seriously.
Small bad habits could get amplified if indulged and become a big problem.
“I get it.” Wayne said when he saw that Rosalynn was genuinely upset.
He immediately apologized.
“Let’s have dinner.”
Rosalynn agreed.
Wayne held her hand and they walked into the house.
Rosalynn was a woman of her word.
She didn’t speak to Ivy for the next two days.
Until the evening of the third day when Ivy came home from school and sought out Rosalynn.
“Mommy, I know I was wrong.” She said as she grabbed Rosalynn’s skirt hem, “I won’t hit people anymore.”
Rosalynn felt both pained and helpless.
She bent down to look Ivy in the eye: “Ivy, I’m happy and touched that you protected your brother, but I’m more
worried about what if you get hurt…”
Ivy hugged Rosalynn and sobbed to comfort her: “I won’t do it again.”
They finally made up, and Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.
But after this incident, Rosalynn and Wayne realized that the school they chose for Cory might have been a mistake.
With his IQ and knowledge base, if he followed the normal school curriculum, on one hand he wouldn’t want to
interact with kids his age, and on the other hand he probably knew more than the teachers. Essentially, he wouldn’t
learn much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter dinner, Rosalynn went to Cory’s study.
When she walked in, Ivy was discussing a math problem with a friend she made during their camping trip.
The usually taciturn Cory was engaged in a lively discussion with them.
After they finished discussing the problem, he ended the video call..
“Mommy, what’s up?” Cory asked.
“Cory, do you really need to be at the same school as your sister?” Rosalynn asked gently, “You know, there’s a big
gap between you and your sister in terms of knowledge level…”
“Do you want me to change schools, mommy?” Cory frowned, “Because of what happened last time?”
“About this decision, your dad and I thought it through thoroughly. We think your current school isn’t right for you.”
Cory lowered his head: “I worry that my sister won’t be able to adapt.”
After all, she wouldn’t know anyone at the new school.
“Boy, we can’t always be by your sister’s side. Everyone needs to learn to grow independently, and I don’t want you
to sacrifice for your sister.”
“Where do you plan on sending me to school?” Cory asked.”
“The school where Hannah and Sarah go. They have special classes for gifted students. The teachers there are
experts in various fields, and you’ll learn way more than at your current school.”
