Chapter 53 Lia goes to School (1/2)

Lia went to brush while Giselle prepared breakfast. A few minutes later, Lia came out rushing.

”Mom,” Lia called.

”What happened, Lia?” Giselle groaned.

”MOM, You traitor!!!” Lia yelled.

Giselle couldn't understand anything she kept staring at Lia.

”You said dad would call me before going to school.” Lia looked disappointed.

Indeed, Ethan had requested Giselle 'to remind him about having a conversation with Lia before she attends her new school'. Giselle totally screwed up. Seeing her daughter look upset, Giselle can't ignore.

”I'm sorry, honey. Mommy really forgot. But, if you be a good girl and get ready soon. We can call your father. Alright? Now, go get ready!!!” Giselle tried to cheer her up.

Lia liked the deal and she agreed to it. Quickly, Lia ran to the bathroom. For the next few minutes, Lia didn't disturb her mother, she took a shower, came out, dressed in new clean fresh clothes, checked her school bag and then came out to the living room.

Giselle looked at her daughter: Lia looked cute in her outfit except for her hair which is undone. Giselle approached Lia and fixed her hair with a ponytail. Later, she asked Lia to eat her breakfast.

The time is now 8:10 AM. Lia finished her breakfast and waited for her mother who's getting ready now. Giselle didn't have time to take a shower. However, she brushed, washed her face and then put on her casuals. By the time she returned, it was 8:15 AM.

Both the mother and daughter looked at each other. They both looked neat and ready. When it's almost time to head out. Giselle received a video call request on her mobile. It was Ethan Ruz, Lia's father.

When Lia was getting ready, Giselle texted Ethan about giving her a call. As expected, Ethan did call back to wish his daughter on her first day at school.

”Hey, it's 8:15 now and we have to be at school by 8:30. So, here you go.” Giselle quickly warned Ethan about their time limitation, then gave her mobile to Lia.

”DAD!!!” Lia exclaimed.

”Woah, Woah, Woah, look... at... my girl.” Ethan's first emotion was a surprise.

”How do I look, dad?” Lia got excited.

”You look cool, Lia. Come on, give me some...” Ethan brought his hands closer to the screen to give Lia, a high-five. Giselle waited behind Lia. Eventually, she appeared on the screen beside her daughter and signaled Ethan to 'fast-forward'.

”Okay... okay,” Ethan responded back.

”Alright, baby. It's your first day at school. Just be yourself and have fun. Go talk to everyone and make friends. I really, really, feel bad for missing your first day. But, your mother worked hard to find you a good school. So, make her proud. Don't give her any troubles. Go to your school regularly and what else...” Ethan adviced his little girl.

”Dad?”

”Yes, baby”

”I won't do anything that you and mama hate. Pinky promise!!!” Lia pledged. Hearing the little girl say such huge words made her parents happy. Even though Lia doesn't need to act mature for her age, her personality never ceases to amaze even her own parents. With that being said, Ethan can't hold back.

”haha... you sure are an angel, Lia. Alright, I'll call you back myself tonight to talk more in details.” Ethan smirked looking at Giselle - giving her the 'I can't trust you to remind me' eyes.

Giselle's eyes twitched. But, she felt bad somehow.

”Giselle?” Ethan called her out.
