It wasn’t until they left the school and got into the car that Nina noticed her bag’s zipper was open. She quickly zipped it up and asked, “Orion, do you want to head straight home, or do you want to go somewhere else?” “Let’s go straight home, Mom. I’m a bit tired and want to rest. I still have school tomorrow,” Orion replied as he fastened his seatbelt.”Okay, that works for me,” Nina agreed, and they chatted as the driver navigated through traffic. Before they knew it, they were back home.Once inside, Orion didn’t stay in the living room to play like he usually did. He took off his coat, changed into his house slippers, and ran up to Nina. “Mom, I’m going upstairs to do my homework. I should finish before dinner.””Homework?” Nina was taken aback by the phrase. After all, Orion was only in preschool, not elementary school. Why did he have homework already? She understood that teachers assigned it for the kids’ benefit, but she couldn’t help but worry that the pace might be too fast.”Yes! The teacher said we need to start getting into the habit of doing homework, or we might struggle in elementary school. The assignments aren’t hard. I can do them quickly,” Orion replied, not at all concerned.Even though he seemed fine with it, Nina decided to follow him to his room and see what the homework was all about. They climbed the stairs together, and once in the room, Orion pulled out the booklet the school had given him and placed it on the table for Nina to see. “Mom, the teacher gave us two assignments: one for writing and another for comparing sizes.”Nina flipped through the booklet and noticed that the letters were simple, making them easy to write. The math focused on comparing numbers up to twenty, which wasn’t too difficult for a child his age.”Orion, do you understand all the assignments? If there’s anything you don’t get, I can explain it to you now,” Nina offered as she prepared to pull up a chair.Orion picked up his pencil and quickly completed a page of math problems. “Mom, I can do all of this.””Great! Just take your time. I’ll head downstairs for now, and after dinner, I’ll check your homework,” Nina said, feeling confident in her son’s abilities. She didn’t want to hoverover him like a prison guard. Thatwould only backfire.As she walked out, she instinctively lightened her footsteps and returned to the living room, where she played with Gemma for a while.It wasn’t until the evening that Nash came home, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, the flavor that Nina loved most.”Gemma, Daddy’s back! Come say hi to Daddy,” Nina called out, carrying Gemma to the door and gently lifting her little hand.Gemma waved happily, smiling brightly.”Sweetheart, you recognize Daddy!” Nash said, taking their baby from Nina’s arms and acting as the doting dad.While comforting his daughter, he apologized to Nina, “I’m sorry! I was so busy today that I couldn’t fin time to pick you up myself and had to send the driver.” “There’s no need to apologize. It’s okay. As long as we’re all together, that’s what matters,” Nina reassured him, feeling no anger. Nash was busy with work, not off doing something shady.
