701 Parental Activity
Jennie wore Lisa's windbreaker and wrapped herself in it tightly. As she was about to ask Lisa if he was going to go back to his office, she felt a vibration coming from the jacket.
"Lisa, your phone is ringing." Lisa took his phone out from the pocket of the jacket, frowning at what he saw.
"What happened? Who's calling?" Jennie asked.
Who was it that could make Lisa pull an "I-can't-handle-this" face? How rare...
"It's Little Treasure's teacher, " Lisa replied.
"Isn't it school hours? Why would the teacher call now?" Jennie questioned.
Lisa gave it some thought, then he handed his phone to Jennie. "You should take it."
Obviously, Lisa had no idea how to deal with a foreign creature like his son's teacher.
"Me?" Jennie scratched her head. "Okay...I guess it's better that I pick it up anyway..."
She could not imagine the conversation between Lisa and Little Treasure's teacher. The teacher might speak a lot and he might just reply with a grunt.
It would be even more possible that the teacher got frightened by Lisa's voice...
Jennie did not decline and put the call on the speaker for Lisa to listen.
"Hello, is this Leo Manoban's father?" a female teacher's voice said.
"Hello, Teacher Wang, I'm Leo Manoban's mother." To make things easier, Jennie did not give it much thought and just said it as it was.
She did not realize...how intensely Lisa was feeling at that moment.
"Did something happen to my kid in school?" Jennie asked nervously.
"That's not it, Madam Manoban, I'm just calling to confirm if you and Mr. Manoban really do not have time this afternoon. It'd be great even if just one of you can attend! It'd be so pitiful if both of you can't come!" The teacher sounded disapproving.
For Little Treasure to experience school life like any normal children, no one in the school except the principal knew about Little Treasure's real identity.
Even the teachers were not informed of who he was.
The teachers only knew that this kid was from a well-off family and preferred to be quiet. His parents were busy and did not seem to have a good relationship because ever since the first day of school, they were not seen at school together again.
Jennie asked in confusion, "This afternoon? Is there something going on in school?"
"Don't you know about it?" The teacher sounded surprised.
Jennie stared at Lisa and he shook his head, signaling that he was unaware as well.
Jennie replied, "Both of us are unaware of this. Little Treasure never mentioned it to us."
"He didn't? How could this be? I even confirmed it with him a few times..."
The teacher started to explain, "Here's the thing. There will be a parental activity today. We're organizing a masquerade party. I've told the children a few days ago to inform their parents, and I even gave them a letter for their parents. A few reminders were given out too. From the name list yesterday, only Leo Manoban's parents will be absent. All the other children have at least one parent attending"
702 Of Course, You Can
Jennie frowned. "Our child really didn't mention this to us."
The teacher sighed, "Then, it's probably because the child didn't want to trouble you both and intentionally did not inform you...I wanted to call the both of you yesterday to ask, but that child is really too mature. He even took the initiative to tell me not to call, in fear of disturbing the both of you..."
