    Chapter 1512


    Sophia arrived home after picking up some ketchup, only to find Tristan amusing himself with his toys


    in the living room. Tristan’s father was nowhere in sight.


    “Tristan, where’s your dad?”


    Tristan merely nced up at Sophia, grunted, and ignored her. Instead, he called out towards the


    bedroom. “Dad! The ketchupdy’s back!”


    Sophia was taken aback, not because Tristan was ignoring her, but because he referred to her as ‘the


    ketchupdy. She felt a surge of annoyance. Wasn’t it strange that Tristan’s father wasn’t keeping an


    eye on him?


    Marcus, Tristan’s father, was usually overprotective and would never leave Tristan alone. Sophia put


    the ketchup down and quickly headed towards the bedroom. On opening the door, she found Marcus


    just shutting down hisputer.


    “Marcus, what have you been looking at? How could you leave Tristan alone like that? You always say


    it’s risky for a child his age to be left unsupervised.”


    Marcus slowly turned around in his wheelchair. “You know how he gets with his toys. He won’t run off. I


    was only away for a moment. It’s fine.”


    Sophia’s eyes darted to the recently closedptop. With a teasing smile, she asked, “You came in here


    just to use theputer? What could possibly be so captivating that it made you leave our son alone?”

    Marcus maintained a poker face. “While we were watching TV earlier, there was an ad for a local


    kindergarten. I thought I’d check out their credentials.”


    “Kindergarten?” Sophia paused, furrowing her eyebrows. “Marcus, the ads on local TV are obviously


    for local kindergartens. You’re not thinking of enrolling Tristan here, are you?”


    Sophia reminded him. “As soon as I’ve settled my father’s affairs, we’ll be leaving. How could Tristan


    possibly attend kindergarten here on his own? Marcus, I know you’re thinking of our son’s future, but


    there are plenty of excellent kindergartens back home. Tristan can go to anyone he wants there!”


    Marcus frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. “Let’s not talk about other scenarios.


    Tristan has spent most of his time at home with me and has had little exposure to the outside world. He


    would havenguage issues abroad, making it difficult for him to adapt to a kindergarten environment. I


    want him to attend kindefgarten in a native English environment.”


    Sophia sighed. She had indeed overlooked thenguage barrier. But then she smiled. Marcus, our son


    is a quick learner. Learning a newnguage wouldn’t be a problem for him. Besides, there are


    kindergartens with English-speaking environments. I promise to find a kindergarten that Tristan will be


    happy to go to. We really shouldn’t consider staying here. We won’t get used to the lifestyle.”


    Marcus didn’t argue. “It’s up to you. I can’t go out, so you’ll have to handle all this.”


    In fact, he had not been researching kindergartens at all. He had been checking his email, retrieving a


    message from Balfour containing a rehabilitation n suggested by the doctor.


    Sophia seemed relieved to see Marcus wasn’t insistent on staying. She didn’t want to stay either; she


    disliked the local environment and was afraid the nchet family might find them.


    She pushed Marcus out of the room. “Marcus, let’s not rush into deciding about Tristan’s kindergarten.


    Once I’ve settled my father’s affairs, we’ll find the best kindergarten for Tristan. We’ll shortlist some


    good ones, and you can make the final pick.”


    Marcus simply nodded without saying a word.

    Sophia added. “I’ve got the ketchup. I’ll start cooking for you and Tristan right away promise it’ll turn out


    better than yesterday’s meal. That was my first time cooking, and I didn’t quite get the heat right. But


    today, I’ve watched many tutorials, and I’m sure you’ll notice the improvement.”
