Rhiannon quickly reacted, understanding what the other party meant — they were insinuating she hadn’t been loud enough!
She felt like they had thrown her face on the ground to be trampled on.
She really didn’t want to say those three words anymore, so she took the initiative to say, “Dear parent, I was wrong. I deeply regret my actions. What our Lucas did was indeed wrong, he should not have cursed at the kindergarten child. When I get home, his father and I will educate him properly. Can we please let this matter rest?”
“Since you admitted what he did was wrong, shouldn’t he apologise first?” Baron Lawrence glanced at the cowering Lucas, then glanced at Tobias Clark on the sofa.
“You—” Rhiannon’s face changed.
She thought she could bear the injustice, but how could she let her child endure the same?
But she had just been disciplined and didn’t dare to confront them. She could only laugh it off and say, “Dear parent, it’s normal for children to have squabbles. Let’s not make it so formal. It would be harmful for the children. It’s inevitable for children to have little bumps and collisions. They would still have to go to school together in the future. If their relationship becomes too tense, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for them in the same kindergarten?”
“Who said they will be in the same kindergarten in the future?” Baron Lawrence’s eyes became cold as ice, not giving any face at all.
Rhiannon didn’t understand what he meant. Her intuition told her not to inquire further, or else she would only get met with refusal. As unwilling as she was, given the circumstances, she had no choice but to bow her head.
She squatted in front of Lucas, trying to coax her little tyrant with kind words, “Son, can you apologise to Tobias Clark?”
“I won’t!” Lucas pushed away her hands, stopped crying, and started shouting, “Mom, didn’t you come to discipline him for me? Why are you helping him now, are you really my mom? I want grandma!”
“Lucas, obey!” Rhiannon had swallowed her pride, and Lucas’s tantrums just further stoked her anger.
Who was Lucas? A person who had never been afraid from a very young age, with everyone orbiting around him. In his worldview, as long as he cries and makes a fuss, nothing is impossible. Just like previously, when he was sick and the annoying doctor said he couldn’t eat ice cream. When he passed by KFC, he demanded ice cream through his cries, and he always ended up getting it. He thought this time would be no different. He failed to achieve what he wanted because he wasn’t throwing a big enough tantrum. As long as he throws a bigger tantrum, his mom will surely give in.
He immediately broke into tears, “Boo-hoo… I won’t apologise! Mom, he hit me! You have to help me hit him back! If you can’t then hold him and let me hit him!”
Baron Lawrence’s face became even colder.
“Stop crying!” Rhiannon was already annoyed, more so when he started crying again. In the end, it was because of him that she had to endure this humiliation today. Why couldn’t he just listen?
“Woo-hoo…l want grandma…l want dad…l want grandma…save me…grandma… woo-hoo…” He was crying so much that he could hardly breathe.
Rhiannon was both angry and heartbroken, and she felt an indescribable annoyance. She grabbed Lucas by the shoulders as she tried to calm herself down, “Stop crying, honestly tell me, were you the one who started cursing?”
