Chapter 1512
After Sophia came back from buying the ketchup, she discovered Benjamin ' was alone in
the living room, playing with his toy.
"Benjamin, where's Daddy?" she asked.
Benjamin’ looked up, glanced at her indifferently, and scoffed. He did not answer her.
Instead, he shouted toward the bedroom. "Daddy! Ketchup Lady is back!"
'What did he call me?’ thought Sophia angrily. However, she was more concerned that
Jeremy left 'Benjamin' in the living room to play alone. 'He always makes sure to keep an
eye on the kid, so why isn't watching over him now?’
She quickly put down the ketchup and hurried to the bedroom. As soon as she opened the
door, she saw him snapping shut his laptop.
"Zachary, what were you doing? How could you leave Benjamin alone outside? Didn't you
always tell me that a kid his age shouldn't be left alone? " she asked.
Jeremy turned his wheelchair around slowly.
"You do know that he always stays put whenever you give him his favorite cartoon toy to
play with, right? Plus, I only just came in, so he'll be fine."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophia glanced at Jeremy's laptop and asked half-jokingly, "Did you come in just to use
your laptop? What could there possibly be so interesting in your laptop that you'd leave
your child alone?"
"While I was watching the television with Benjamin just now, I saw an advertisement for a
kindergarten, so I came in to look up information about that kindergarten," answered
Jeremy without breaking a sweat.
"Kindergarten?" Sophia was a little taken aback, but she then frowned." Zachary, you do
know the kindergarten advertised on television is for kids who live here, right? Don't tell
me you're actually thinking of sending Benjamin to kindergarten here?"
"It doesn't matter which kindergarten he goes to, as long as he's happy there. More
importantly, he's already at an age where he should be in kindergarten, so it's about time
we make it happen," said Jeremy.
"But we're leaving this city after I've finished what my dad told me to come here to do.
There's no way I'm leaving Benjamin all alone here. Zachary, I know you're doing this for
his future, but there are many excellent
kindergartens in Molomia, too. Money's no problem. He can have his pick over there."
Jeremy frowned at her. "Putting everything aside, Benjamin spent most of his time with me
at home. He rarely comes in contact with the outside world. Not to mention, he doesn't
speak Molomian, so it'll be hard for him to fit in in the kindergartens abroad. I think it's
best if he can go to a kindergarten where he speaks the same language as everyone
else.”
Sophia was speechless.
Jeremy was right. Since Benjamin was not Sophia's real son, she never cared about
teaching him the language spoken in Molomia. Also, she rarely let him go out to
experience new stuff since she was afraid that he would be discovered by the Holdens.
She certainly overlooked the barrier of not speaking the same language would bring.
After thinking it over, Sophia smiled and said, "Zachary, I'm sure it'll be easy for Benjamin
to learn a new language since he's such a smart kid. Besides, there are some
kindergartens in Molomia where the kids are taught in two languages. Don't worry, I'm
confident that I'll be able to find a kindergarten that Benjamin will like, so let's just drop
the idea of sending him to kindergarten here. In any case, I don't think we'll like living
here."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Fine. I'll leave the matter to you. It's not like I can go out anyway, so you'll still need to do
the heavy lifting," said Jeremy.
He was not actually looking up information about some kindergarten.
Instead, he was reading an email sent by the doctor Lucas had found for him. In the email
was advice on how to rehabilitate his legs.
He lied to Sophia to throw her off his real plan since he knew how paranoid she could be.
Sophia felt relieved that Jeremy no longer insisted on staying back in New Capital City. She
would never want to stay. Not only did she not like it there, but she feared that the
Holdens would eventually find out about them.
She walked over to wheel him out to the living room. "Zachary, there's no need to rush
into deciding about Benjamin's kindergarten. After I finish our business here, we'll go back
and hire an expert to make a list of all the top kindergartens in Molomia. As to where he'll
go in the end, you'll have the final say!"
"Okay," said Jeremy tepidly.
"I've already bought the ketchup, so I'll cook dinner now. I promise it'll be much better
than yesterday. It was my first time cooking yesterday, so I didn't really know what to do.
But I watched a lot of video tutorials today, so I'm pretty sure you can taste my
improvement!"
