Chapter 16 Sending Adam to School
"No."
James said firmly, "When I am busy, you can watch TV by yourself in the office, sleep or eat snacks. I will teach you to study when I have time, okay?"
Nancy nodded, "I'll be as good as gold."
Then Nancy looked at her mother, Windy, "Mom, will you go with us?"
Windy said with a smile, "Yesterday you stayed with me, and today you can just go with your father. I will make you some delicious food at home."
"Thank you, Mom."
The Elderly Mr. Brook deliberately drew a long face, "What about me? You don't care about me and I'm so sad."
Nancy shook her head quickly. The small tuft of hair at the top of her head also swayed quickly. It was really eye-catching.
Adam couldn't help staring at that tuft of hair.
"Grandpa, do you want to go with me and my Dad?"
Nancy added in a sweet voice.
The Elderly Mr. Brook laughed, "Ok. I haven't been to the company for a long time. If you find it boring at your father's office, I can show you around."
James thought Nancy wouldn't feel it boring to be with him. He also wondered why his father always destroyed his image in front of Nancy!
After eating breakfast, Adam and Nancy got into James' car. Adam rubbed Nancy's fluffy hair and pinched the tuft of hair at the top of her head. Nancy looked at Adam uncomprehendingly.
Adam met Nancy's gaze and slowly put down his hand. He said embarrassingly, "Your hair stuck up. I just helped smooth it."
Adam rubbed Nancy's head again as he spoke. It was funny that the tuft of hair on Nancy's head stuck up again.
Nancy also raised her hand to touch it.
"Why can't I smooth the hair that sticks up?"
She pressed her hand against the hair sticking up, but she failed to smooth it.
Adam said, "Just forget it."
In the car, Adam began to brag to Nancy about his experiences in school.
"I have achieved a dominant position in my class. All my classmates listen to me and follow my orders."
"You're amazing," Nancy exclaimed and looked at Adam with admiration.
The car drove to school. Nancy poked her head outside the car window to look at the school. She saw a magnificent building.
There was a hint of longing in Nancy's eyes. She felt this school was so beautiful and completely different from the one in her village.
"Are you studying here? It's so big and beautiful."
Nancy now knew what schools in big cities look like.
Hearing Nancy's praise, Adam felt that he was proud to attend this school.
"Of course, you will also study here in the future. But you have to start from preschool. I am in second grade now!"
Hearing Adam's words, Nancy turned to look at her father in surprise.
"Dad, will I study in such a beautiful school in the future?"
Nancy was so happy.
James nodded, "Yes. You will attend the same school as my elder brother. So you can ask Adam for help directly if you are in trouble. And then come to me."
Nancy looked weak and gentle, and James worried that she would be bullied when she went to school in the future. The children in this school were naughty, including Adam. James hoped Adam as Nancy's elder brother could protect her.
The Elderly Mr. Brook was not to be outdone, "You can also ask me for help. I won't allow you to be bullied in the school."
Adam jutted his chin out, "You look vulnerable. You bit me that day, but it didn't hurt at all. If someone bullies you, I will reluctantly help you because you are my younger sister."
