Sophia and Alexander were left alone after Ryan departed.
They had made love the previous night. They later had a big quarrel about half an hour ago, and parted ways in anger. Now, they were standing together in awkward silence.
Finally, Alexander cleared his throat and broke the silence.
"What was it that you just said to Ryan? That kid is very strong-willed and stubborn. How did you manage to convince him so easily to go to school?"
Sophia felt a little sense of pride. It was surprising to her that Alexander could have problems raising the child, even though he was quite shrewd and disciplined.
She chuckled and said, "It's my little secret. Besides, it won't make sense to you even if I told you."
Alexander was stunned by her response. He couldn't find any words to refute her statement.
