Semester Break Part 2

So we went to the lawyer on the second day to deal with Baby's study money. He is under 18 so his father has to support his studies under the law. We could still force him to provide for Baby's studies by law. However, he is turning 18 this year. Was it coincidence that Mama passed away when we are almost all adult and legally responsible for our own studies, we will never know.
We decided to insist to stay in his house no matter what. Where else could we go? He said we have our ways and we have many supports behind our back. Yes, we have friends, people to depend on, unlike him. Was this the reason why he was always jealous of Mama and even punished her for talking to friends? Was this why he disliked us to know people who were nice to us? My lawyer said he is different and weird. Haha. Pathetic soul.
So we stayed in his house for the rest of the week, walking to the same coffee shop near his house for every meal. We locked ourselves in our rooms when he was home. He ran 3M as usual. We guessed he would not want to repay back the parents and the teachers so he might continue the business till the end of the month or the end of the term. We got no connection with the outer world at his house. The internet line was down, reason unknown. I couldn't check if there was any school assignment. Didn't dare to use his house phone as well. Totally cut off. I guessed this was what he wanted, to have us isolated, like him.
Brought Baby to some JCs in Singapore to try for admission yesterday. We were late and most JCs had ended take-ins. Baby wanted to register much earlier but was forbidden to do so. Father was smart. If Baby couldn't get a school before 18 he would not need to pay for Baby's school fees for the rest of his life. Sigh. Now we can only wait.
