Chapter 142 - Mummy, I hate arguments (5) (2/2)

”Dominic, there is something I want you to promise though. You need to tell me, your Daddy Matthew if there is still a problem at school. If you feel you cannot talk to us, tell any of your Uncle's Andrew, Chester of Phillip and they can tell us. We need to know what is happening so we can help you. But also, you need to tell me you will hit misbehave like you did at school. That was unacceptable, and if you do it again there will be consequences.”

Looking down at the ground Dominic said, ”Yes Mummy, I promise to behave.”

”I expect you to keep that promise to me Dominic. As you know my rule if you promise to do something you should, but if you cannot you need to talk to people before it becomes a problem.”

”But I want you to promise me something mummy.”

”Dominic, do not try and manipulate me like that.”

With a cute smile leaning his left ear onto his shoulder while slightly turning upwards and directly looking at Lexi, Dominic said ”Who me, Mummy.”

”Yes you. Your Uncle Chester, Uncle Phillip and Uncle Andrew have all taught you that look. Despite them all being older than me they all thought that look would work on me, it does not. Now I will not be trading with you promises. However, I have a surprise for you. Your Uncle Chester and Uncle Phillip might come over for dinner. Shall we go and call them to see if they are going to come.”

Dominic's eyes lit up ”Yes Mummy, I really have been missing them.”

With that Dominic ran out of his room and started to head downstairs. As Lexi reached the door of his room, Lexi called out ”Dominic you need to walk inside, not run. Now head to the lounge area I was in when you arrived home, and I will get my phone.”

With those words Lexi saw Dominic slow down to a walk. At least with some things he could be reasoned with. After collecting her phone, she quickly headed down to join Dominic and they called Chester, who quickly confirmed the arrangements for Dominic. He was so excited that his favourite uncles were coming.

Lexi sent Dominic back to his room to gather his homework, so they could complete it. Just as they were packing up Chester and Phillip arrived, with Dominic's favourite pizza. These two were so spoiling him. Over the ninety minutes until Dominic's bedtime arrived, he relaxed and chatted to Chester and Phillip excluding her from the conversation. As she had been listening, it was clear that Dominic had heard a lot of the arguments that she and Mathew had been having.

On returning downstairs as she entered the room, Chester quietly and firmly said ”Lexi you better tell us what is going on here. Dominic is picking up on a lot of tension here. And do not think that you can get out of this conversation. You need to talk to us, once he has headed to bed.”

Realising that this was a conversation that she was not going to be able to escape, Lexi nodded and started discussing what had happened with Dominic.
