Lisa folded her arms across her chest, "Oh, so you now have the courage to talk back to me? Good, good, you've grown bolder huh?"
"Okay, let's say Mrs Rusminah and Uncle Dani know that you bring your cellphone to school, it doesn't mean what you do is correct! You are still small and you should learn at school, not play with cell phones! Playing too much with your phone is not good for your eyes, WIlliam!" Lisa continued with a raised voice.
"Not to mention that radiation is not good for children's growth! Here, give Mama your cell phone, now I forbid you to touch it for the next 2 days!"
"Where did you read that cell phone radiation is not good for children's growth? Actually, it's okay for us to look at cellphones continuously, even adults are always looking at cell phones! If we keep a good distance from the cellphone screen, our eyes shouldn't be damaged, Mom."
"Besides, I don't just play with my cell phone. I also read books, write, watch TV, so naturally my eyes will also be damaged from doing all that. Because reading books and writing and watching TV can damage your eyes, it's better if I don't have to study anymore, okay?" William continued casually.
"What if I hurt my eyes from studying too much?"
According to William, as long as he keeps his distance when playing with his phone, his eyes will be fine.
At that moment, Lisa didn't know what to reply. She was about to explode but now, she didn't know what to say to her own son..
For someone his age, William is indeed quite smart. Sometimes Lisa gets confused by the boy's attitude and way of thinking.
Lisa sighed, "Okay, let's just say what you said is true. But I'm still right, I'm worried that your eyes will be damaged from looking at the cellphone all the time."
"Mom, don't worry. I said that as long as I keep my distance from the screen, my eyes won't be damaged." William replied again.
During those few seconds, Lisa was just silent and thought that the problem about her son's cell phone was better off to end there. Finally, the woman chose to discuss the other problem.
"Now you have to be honest with me. Why do you have so many snacks in your school bag lately?" Lisa asked seriously.
"I didn't steal or buy them," William's reply was short. Now the boy was sitting on the patient bed and playing with his father's fingers.
Actually, Lisa didn't think that William would answer this way. At first, she thought that maybe Dani secretly gave it to him or that Mrs. Rusminah couldn't bear to reject him when he asked for snacks.
"So where did you get that from? If you don't tell Mama the truth, I will never buy you snacks again."
Hearing this question, William was silent for a moment. He didn't know what to answer.
Seeing her son's awkward attitude made Lisa even more sure that there was something wrong with the boy. She walked over to Oscar's bed and looked closely at William.
"Don't think your Papa can help you this time, okay?" Lisa continued when she didn't hear a reply from William.
Usually, if Lisa asked various kinds of questions that could make William freeze like now, Oscar would definitely step in. He would always defend William and help the boy answer Lisa's questions.
But now, seeing Lisa's flushed face and burning eyes, Oscar had no choice but to remain silent. He could only caress William's feet, encouraging him in silence.
"William Petersson, where did you get those snacks from?" Lisa asked firmly. Anyone would know that if a mother calls out her child's full name, the child will be scolded to the end.
William turned his head for a moment, looked at his father, then looked at his mother fearfully, "My mother-in-law gave that to me..."
Hearing that immediately made Lisa's mouth open wide. What did William mean by mother-in-law?!
Oscar was surprised by William's innocent answer. He didn't expect that he would hear that from his son's lips. At first, he thought that maybe the boy bought the snacks with the allowance that Oscar gave him every week.
And not given by his so-called mother-in-law!
Since Lisa knows that William has his own cell phone and that the boy likes to watch videos on the internet, she thinks that maybe her son was just joking.
"Tell me where did you learn that name!" Lisa said seriously.
William frowned, "Well, I found out about it myself, Ma! I got those snacks from my mother-in-law! She loves William so much that she always bought me snacks every day!"
Oscar suddenly raised his hand and stroked the back of his son's head. A proud smile graced his lips for a moment. "So my son has a girlfriend now?"
Hearing that made William turn his head and look at Oscar with his big eyes. He blinked a few times and answered in a daze. "A-ah, who said that I already have a g-girlfriend? I just said that I got the snacks from my mother-in-law."
"You call her mama-in-law, so she must have a daughter!" Lisa grumbled quite loudly.
"Well, I don't want to tell you the name of her daughter!" William replied quickly.
The corners of Oscar's lips lifted upwards, "Why is that?"
"If I told you, you would definitely go to school and ask my teachers. After that, you will negotiate with them and finally, I will be expelled from school. I don't want to change schools or be far from my mama-in-law!"
"I want to keep being happy!" William continued excitedly.
For whatever reason, Lisa didn't know where William learned to say it all. Sometimes she is confused by William's attitude or words, which makes him sound like a teenager in general.
Then after that, not a single sound was heard in the VVIP room. Oscar and Lisa were both silent, unable to say anything. William felt his heart beating fast, fearing that his parents would take him out of school.
"Oh my…" Lisa suddenly said, "Why are you being so dramatic?"
William frowned, "Dramatic? This is what usually happens on TV!"
