When they disappeared into the kindergarten, Baron Lawrence strode over, bent down and picked up the little one next to him. He then handed Tobias the over 300 dollars he had gotten from Rhiannon, “Go buy some candy.”
Tobias didn’t expect to make some extra money, and his beautiful face immediately brightened with a smile. He sweetly replied, “Thank you, Uncle Baron.”
As sweet as his words were, his hands didn’t waste a second in quickly putting the money into his backpack.
Baron Lawrence held him and called out to Lulu Kennedy, “Can I take him away?”
Lulu had seen with her own eyes how he had calmly handed in more than 300 dollars to a five-year-old child to buy candy. She wanted to remind him but felt embarrassed to do so. After some hesitation, she said, “Of course. Um… you’re Tobias’ uncle, right?”
Tobias immediately corrected her, ‘Ms. Lulu, this is my Uncle Baron, who works at the BBC Television Station.” He didn’t mention that Uncle Baron lived next door and currently had an ambiguous relationship with the woman in his house. After introducing Baron Lawrence, he introduced Lulu, “Uncle Baron, this is my Ms. Lulu. Ms. Lulu is very nice to us, gentle and patient. Especially to me, she takes really good care of me.”
After finishing his last sentence, Baron Lawrence finally looked at Ms. Lulu in the eyes, his thin lips curled slightly, “Hello.”
Feeling flattered, Lulu stuttered, “You… um… Hello, Mr. Lawrence.”
“I want to take Tobias home, no school for today. Is that okay?” His attitude was much better than before, although his tone was still the habit of giving orders.
Parents taking children away were never obstructed by the kindergarten, nor could they be prevented. She nodded, “Of course. But before leaving, may I talk to you for a moment?”
“Just want to discuss the child’s situation at school with you.”
Baron Lawrence only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He placed the little one on the sofa and told him, ‘Wait inside for me, I’ll be back soon.” He then followed Lulu out of the office.
Outside the office, Lulu’s ears were a little hot, and she plucked up the courage to say, “Actually, Leanne’s mom was indeed a bit excessive today. However, I feel I need to tell you this and hope you can pass it on to Tobias’ mom. Today, Tobias was wrong for hitting someone first, and we hope she can discipline him.”
Baron Lawrence’s eyebrows furrowed, and his thin lips tightened, “I understand.”
“Also, I saw you give more than 300 dollars directly to the child. Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Tobias is only five years old. Although we want to cultivate their sense of money, it’s also not good to educate the child to be too money-loving.”
Lulu was absolutely speaking from the heart, standing in the perspective of a teacher, with no personal bias.
She Imew that Tobias was doing small businesses at school, and as a kindergarten teacher, she should have stepped in. But after learning about Tobias’ family situation from the other children, out of personal bias, she didn’t intervene. However, she still felt uneasy about it. That’s why she hinted at Baron Lawrence to pay more attention to the child’s growth. It would be such a pity if such a smart child like Tobias went astray!
