However, both Asher and Adora were against the idea of transferring schools.
Elliot was adamant about it, and it seemed like a heated argument was about to break out.
When Sheena noticed the tension was rising, she decided to call Adora's former teacher for advice.
Her previous teacher had been exceptionally caring and skilled, a teacher who matched exactly what Elliot and Sheena looked for in an educator.
On the phone, the teacher said, "The world has always been filled with evil and kindness. I think it's essential for children to grasp people's intentions and gradually learn how to handle such situations. This helps in the development of their character and forms a more well-rounded personality. Especially for Asher, who's just started school and is still getting used to the environment, transferring now might confuse him. It could even make them think that their parents are avoiding problems instead of facing them."
Elliot listened thoughtfully, agreeing that the teacher made a good point.
No matter how tough the cases in the National Investigation Bureau were, he would still deal with them head-on.
Hence, the idea of transferring schools was put on hold.
Not long after, Adora started begging for ice cream, but Sheena firmly refused.
It was winter, and it was simply too cold for ice-creams.
She was worried Adora would get sick.
When her pleas did not work, Adora switched to her most charming tactics.
"Mommy, you're the prettiest! You're the best! I'll just have one bite, and you can have the rest, okay?"
Sheena shook her head, smiling. "I don't even like ice cream."
Adora pouted and tried again. "No, Mommy. You like ice cream!"
Sheena raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to guilt me into getting your way?"
Elliot, who was driving, chuckled at the back-and-forth.
He joined in to help Adora. "Nana, why don't you just let her have a little bit of ice cream?"
Adora's eyes lit up as she looked up at her mother triumphantly, as if to say, "See? Daddy's on my side this time!"
Soon, the luxurious car turned onto a small road, leading them toward a bustling market.
Asher, who had been silently observing, furrowed his brow as he watched the changing scenery outside the window.
"Daddy, why are we at the market?" Adora asked curiously.
"You'll see. Just wait here for a moment," Elliot said with a mysterious smile as he parked the car and headed into the market.
Before long, Elliot came back, holding something in his hands.
Adora's eyes widened with excitement as she looked at the colorful treats.
Meanwhile, Asher remained calm and reserved.
Sheena had to stifle a laugh. It was just some candied fruits, but Elliot made it seem like a grand revelation.
As Elliot got back into the car, he spoke in a dramatic tone, "These aren't just any candied fruits. This is the best version, something you can't find anywhere else. Try it and see for yourself!"
