If Lisa heard that the reason William had so many snacks was because the boy was popular with his friend's mothers, maybe she would be okay.
But as soon as she heard that 'Mama-in-law' was asking about personal things, about herself, her relationship with Oscar, and many others, Lisa immediately felt something strange.
Seeing the worried look on Lisa's face made Oscar want to join the debate. He patted William's feet, trying to get the boy's attention.
"What Mama said is true, William. Until then, no one else has the right to know anything about the three of us. Do you understand?"
Oscar was not the strict type as a father, the man was more likely to pamper and fulfill all the wishes of his only child.
So now, when he heard that come out of Oscar's lips, William immediately thought that what he was doing was wrong.
William lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I was wrong.. I didn't mean anything other than to make my mother-in-law more happy with me. I know that I shouldn't talk about our family to strangers..."
"I promise I won't repeat the same mistake again..." William continued in a very low voice.
Seeing the upsetting look on his mother's face made William feel even more guilty. He tried to get off the bed then ran and hugged Lisa's legs.
"Mama," William said in a pitiful tone. His eyes looked like that of a small dog, "Forgive me, okay? I know that what I did was wrong, so please, I'm sorry... "
"At that time, I didn't think too much and already thought that my mother-in-law was no longer a stranger, so I rushed to tell her everything..."
At first, Lisa did feel panicked and emotional because her son was being stupid and told about family problems to strangers. The blazing flames seemed to want to eat her body, and made her want to scold William all the way.
But as soon as she heard William's apology, the boy's widening eyes and not to mention his sad voice, Lisa's heart melted.
She crouched down in front of William, touched her son's chubby cheeks, and said, "Honey, when Mama picks you up from school tomorrow, please tell Mama which one is your future mother-in-law, okay?"
William looked into his mother's eyes for a few seconds. Why did his mother suddenly want to pick him up again at school? Is this a sign that something bad is about to happen?
As William had said earlier, he didn't want his father or mother to know who his mother-in-law and 'girlfriend' were. But, instead of getting scolded by Lisa and immediately transferred to another school at this very second, William had no other choice but to nod his head.
"Yes, yes, I promise that I will tell Mama which one is my mother-in-law tomorrow. But Mama or Papa have to promise that you won't transfer me to another school! I don't want to be away from my girlfriend!"
Hearing that spontaneously made Lisa laugh and her stomach tingled. At this young age, the boy had this attachment to other girls? What if the boy gets married and forgets about her, his own mother one day?
William indeed inherited Oscar's genes, all the way to his personality!
After laughing for a while, Lisa looked at Oscar and didn't say anything. Even so, the look in their eyes was enough to tell what was deep in their hearts.
Oscar sat quietly on the patient's bed and pretended to look at the still-dead TV screen. In his heart, the man felt proud because his good behavior was passed on to his only child!
His son didn't want to be away from the person he liked and neither wanted the person he liked to be hurt.
Lisa looked back at William and replied, "Yes, I promise not to transfer you to another school. But you must tell me who your future Mama-in-law is for your own good."
"Promise me!? Promise!?" William shouted suddenly. He raised his little little finger and asked Lisa to do the same. "You won't transfer me to another school!"
"Gosh," Lisa whispered in disbelief. She also followed William's request and linked her little finger with the finger of her only child, "Yes, I promise I will not transfer you to another school."
After the agreement was well established, Lisa and William accompanied Oscar in the VVIP room quietly. Sometimes they still tease each other, and sometimes Lisa is made to cry because of their laughter.
Around 8 pm, Dani came to take Lisa and William back to Oscar's house.
Since William knew he had let his mother down today, he tried to act like a good boy in front of her. While in the hospital, he wanted to feed himself. The little boy didn't whine at all for his cell phone, and always complied with his father's or mother's requests.
Just like now, when the two of them arrived at the Petersson's house.
"Mom, you don't have to read William's fairy tales today, I can sleep alone. After this, I will take off my own shoes, and take a bath by myself. Since Mama already said that cell phone screens are not good for the eyes, today I will not play with my cell phone anymore. After bathing, I will brush my teeth and go to sleep. No more playing!"
"Now you can sleep, don't worry about me. Good night, Mama!" William continued as he took off his school shoes.
Without giving Lisa a chance to reply, the boy rushed into his room.
Even though William was less than 5 years old, the boy was already able to take care of himself. He can take a bath on his own, brush his own teeth, and even wash his own dishes. So hearing it all, Lisa was not surprised anymore.
The woman could only stand behind William and watch the boy close the door to his room slowly. She shook her head and then climbed the stairs, wanting to sleep in the guest room immediately.
But before that, she stopped briefly into William's room and said, "Good night William."
"Ah!" William who was taking off his own clothes turned his head, "Geez, I wonder who came in here. Good night Mom!"
