58:Operation: Call Me Mummy
"Mhm," Everett murmured, resting his head on her chest.
"Um… um… will you still allow me to continue studying?" she asked in a low voice, clearly lacking confidence. "Don't… don't be angry, okay? I'm fine if you don't want me to continue. Staying with you all day isn't bad at all," she quickly added.
Everett lifted his head and looked at Zaiyila. "You clearly still want to continue schooling, so I have no objection—but I will set some rules now. If you don't follow them, then no more school for you," he declared.
Zaiyila nodded immediately. "I'll follow them," she assured happily.
Everett nodded and began playing with Zaiyila's beautiful almond-shaped nails. "First, don't give face to anyone at school. Whether they're right or wrong, you mustn't allow them to take advantage of you," he instructed.
"Noted," Zaiyila acknowledged with a nod.
"Second, there are no rules for you. Everywhere on Earth, you control others; others cannot control you."
