Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother
489 Chapter 489
"Hahaha! That won't happen, dear," Chloe smiled and patted Mackie's head. Her worry was quite endearing, though very illogical. Vernon said a similar thing when he was young.
-
'Big sis cannot go anywhere! What if you run outside and a car suddenly hits you, and you fly and die! Big sis absolutely cannot go anywhere!'
-
'I don't think Vernon ever tells Mackie about his story growing up, but how does Mackie imitate many of Vernon's behavior when he was young? Is it simply because they're very similar in nature?' Chloe pondered. 'They're a better father-daughter pair than Vincent could ever be.'
"I was just looking around. No need to worry," Chloe replied.
Mackie continued squinting, full of suspicion, but she huffed in the end and jumped on the sofa. She checked her Mommy's right hand to see if the cast was still wrapped neatly. After confirming that Chloe was alright, Mackie finally let go of her worries.
Chloe raised her brow. She was quite surprised by the attentiveness of her seven-year-old daughter, "Why are you checking me like that? I'm alright, you know."
Mackie shook her head, "Uncle said that Mommy needs to be protected. He said that Mommy is his treasure, and Mackie's treasure too! So we're guarding our treasure together!"
Chloe chuckled. Vernon might have started pushing his idea into Mackie's mind. She had never had this kind of idea before.
Nevertheless, Chloe found it very interesting and endearing, so she didn't mind Vernon's influence on her daughter.
"It gets boring when you can't do anything at the house," Chloe reasoned, and Mackie accepted the alibi easily. "Um, Mommy must be bored. I also get bored because I'll have to wait two more days before going to school."
Chloe's smile faltered as she was reminded that she had to start mentioning the topic of transferring to Mackie.
Of course, she didn't want to upset her daughter, but it was now or never. If she kept being too wishy-washy, Mackie might be in danger sooner or later.
"Dear, how's school?" Chloe asked.
"Mm? Um… it's okay," Mackie replied without much care. "Jaden and Mia still hate me so much, but I don't care! I have other friends too!"
"I see…" Chloe took a deep breath and patted Mackie's head, "Do you like your current school?"
"Mm… not really," Mackie replied. "I don't like Mrs. Andrew. Don't like the math teacher, and also the new homeroom teacher who replaced Mrs. Allison!"
"Mrs. Allison got replaced?" Chloe asked. She hadn't received the news yet. Usually, when there was a homeroom teacher replacement, the school would notify all the parents.
The homeroom teacher was an integral part of the class. So a sudden change might upset the kids, and it was also the parents' job to calm them down.
Mackie's school was the most elite private elementary school, they're all professionals, so it was quite baffling for Chloe that they forgot to inform her.
'Did they forget to inform me, or did they simply singled me out because of Vincent?' Chloe wondered. 'I feel like this thing must've been Vincent's doing. I'm sure of it. Mrs Allison isn't under his control, so he replaced her.'
Mrs. Allison was a good homeroom teacher who protected Mackie by giving extra homework for those who bullied or fought in her class, deterring all the kids from doing 'bad things' or else they had to finish a lot of homework.
Now that Mrs. Allison was gone, Chloe doubted the new homeroom teacher would be as kind.
"Did your new homeroom teacher give extra homework to Jaden and Mia?"
"Nope!" Mackie pouted to vent her frustration. "He doesn't do anything! Even when Jaden and Mia yell at me, he will not listen! Mommy, I don't want that homeroom teacher. Can you ask Mrs. Andrew to change my class?" she asked.
…
"How about changing your school instead?" Chloe said lightly. She thought it was the best way to make it sound so normal, not something that would change Mackie's childhood.
"Changing school?" Mackie tilted her head. She was still trying to register what her Mommy was saying. "Mommy, I just want to change class," she said, thinking that her Mommy simply didn't understand her request.
"But if you just move to another class, Jaden and Mia can still find and make trouble for you during recess, right?" Chloe tried to persuade her with a logical explanation. "And you might find someone else like Jaden or Mia in your new class, right?"
"Um… that's right…" Mackie nodded. "If I move to another school, will the bullying stop? I can fight, Mommy. But I don't like to fight," Mackie looked down and cupped her hands together. "I just want to play with my friends, eat snacks, and study in school, Mommy. I don't want to fight."
"Oh dear…" Chloe hugged her daughter and gently caressed her hair, "Nobody will bully you if you transfer to another school. I promise."
"Un…"
"Then, are you willing to be transferred?" Chloe asked again, just to make sure. Mackie often said many ridiculous things simply because she was too young to understand her own words.
So Mackie had to make up her mind that she would leave everything in her old school and start anew.
"Um, I don't mind, Mommy. I don't have many friends in school, and the teachers don't like me, especially the Principal, Mrs. Andrew. She doesn't like me at all," Mackie said. "But I have one question, Mommy…."
"And what is it, dear?" Chloe guessed that Mackie wanted to buy a new bag, toy, or anything. It was her habit whenever she started a new semester. So she expected the same since Mackie would move to another school soon.
"Mommy, if I move to a new school. Will Daddy finally stop beating you?" Mackie looked up and stared at Chloe with her sweet doe eyes. There was a hint of concern in the little girl's eyes. "I will change school as long as Daddy stops hurting you, Mommy…."
