After a day and night of intimacy with Mike, Princess Mia, along with Amy and Alan, boarded a private jet back to Genovia.
Mia, unwilling to tie Mike down, didn't complete the task her grandmother had given her to bring Mike back with her.
Of course, the two didn't cut off contact. They had agreed that they would meet again one day.
After sending off the reluctant Mia, Mike drove his red Ferrari back to the Cooper house and found the whole family sitting neatly in the living room. Meemaw Connie and Paige were also there.
"What's going on?" Mike asked, noticing the atmosphere wasn't right.
The room was divided into two factions, mainly Mary and George Sr., who seemed to be discussing something, a bit tit-for-tat.
"George and Mary are discussing where Shelly should go to college." Meemaw Connie explained the situation and asked: "By the way, Mike, have you decided which university to go to?"
"Hmm..." Mike pondered for a while and answered: "Barring accidents, it should be Columbia University. They promised to give me ample educational funds."
Famous universities don't lack excellent students, but they lack super geniuses like Young Sheldon, Paige, and Mike. Especially super prodigies like Young Sheldon and Paige; no matter which university they go to, they can serve as good promotion for the local university.
Mike's alternative study locations were New York City and California. Both areas were extremely economically and culturally developed.
New York City had Wall Street, Broadway, Central Park, etc. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens were all standard business districts.
As for California, the Los Angeles area had fun places like Hollywood, Disneyland, and the Walk of Fame. While ensuring economic development, it was also a good place integrating culture and tourism, suitable for living and leisure.
However, considering future development, Mike ultimately chose to go to the metropolis.
"Compared to the University of Texas, Shelly might also be able to go to Columbia." George Sr., wanting his intelligent younger son to go out and see a broader world, spoke up after hearing Mike's choice.
Obviously, while caring for his younger son, George Sr. was more willing to see him grow. Before, he had suggested letting his younger son go to schools better than the University of Texas, like Harvard or Princeton. But they were all rejected by his wife on the grounds that his younger son was too young.
Sure enough, hearing her husband's proposal again, Mary protected her chick, saying: "I don't agree with Shelly going to school so far away. Without us by his side, he can't take care of himself at all. What if he learns bad things?"
"Going to Columbia, won't Mike be there with him? Besides, Shelly should learn to be independent." George Sr. argued strongly.
Obviously at this moment, his educational philosophy diverged from his wife's. As for who was right or wrong, it was hard to say; it mainly depended on Young Sheldon's opinion.
Unfortunately, Young Sheldon was suffering from difficulty in making choices. On one hand, he was a bit tempted by his father's proposal; on the other hand, he was afraid of leaving his familiar environment.
"Shelly, at the University of Texas, Professor John will take care of you, and it's convenient for you to come home if you feel wronged. Going outside won't be that good." Mary turned to her younger son, and after some guiding remarks, continued to ask: "So you choose now, go to the University of Texas, or leave your parents to go to school outside?"
"I, I don't know~" Young Sheldon, suffering from difficulty in making choices, looked conflicted.
Although Young Sheldon hadn't made a clear choice yet, his appearance fully showed that he couldn't leave his parents for the time being.
So, the answer was already clear.
"Oh ho, looks like I need to contact John. With him taking care of Shelly in the future, we can also rest assured." Meemaw Connie said with a smile: "How about inviting him over for a meal tomorrow?"
"Then I'll trouble you." Mary immediately took over the conversation, settling the matter.
Thus, the argument between George Sr. and his wife ended in failure with a one-to-two ratio. The matter of Young Sheldon going to the University of Texas was decided in this muddled situation.
"Look on the bright side, George. No matter which university Sheldon goes to, his future achievements won't be bad." Mike comforted the disappointed George Sr. beside him.
For a prodigy like Young Sheldon, what mattered was the platform and teaching resources; as for the quality of teachers, it wasn't that important.
After staying at the Cooper house for a while, Meemaw Connie, Mike, and Paige went back to the opposite side.
"Mike, are you sure you want to go to Columbia?" Little girl Paige asked.
"Confirmed." Mike answered affirmatively.
"That's good; I also received a notification from Columbia. I'll call my parents right now and tell them I'm going to Columbia." Being able to continue staying with Mike made little girl Paige's mood a bit jubilant.
Over there, Meemaw Connie also called Professor John and finished explaining Young Sheldon's situation.
Putting down the phone, she asked with a somewhat reluctant expression: "Mike, Paige, when do you plan to leave?"
When people get older, they inevitably become nostalgic.
Getting along for more than a year, Meemaw Connie had long been used to the daily life of having two children at home. This sudden separation made her feel somewhat sad.
"Should be in a few days; Uncle Kenya will come to pick me up." Mike answered.
There was still more than a month before the university started. Mike planned to return to the Minnesota town to stay for a while, and then divert to New York City.
As for Uncle Kenya, he was the manager of the farm and could be considered the private butler of the Quinn family.
"I'm not sure yet. If my parents agree, I want to go to the Minnesota town with Mike to relax." Paige turned and asked: "Can I, Mike?"
"Of course, welcome anytime." How could Mike not know the little girl's thoughts? But for the sake of her cuteness, this clinginess wasn't annoying.
Speaking of which, the little girl developed fast. In the past half year, Paige's height had shot up to over 1.6 meters, and the aura of a young girl on her was getting stronger.
"Then when inviting John tomorrow, I'll make you a roast meat feast again, as a farewell in advance." The optimistic Meemaw Connie's emotions came and went quickly. At this time, she had already started considering the farewell party.
Time came to the next day. With the gathering inviting Professor John, plus the farewell dinner for Mike and Paige, the richness of the Cooper family banquet was raised to another level.
"Georgie, when do you plan to hold the wedding with Mandy?" When George and his wife and Meemaw Connie were preparing the big meal in the kitchen, Mike, sitting in the living room, chatted with Georgie.
"The wedding is planned for October, one month before the baby is born." Georgie answered with a smile.
With Mike's support, owning a small repair shop, he had no financial pressure.
Now Georgie, without worries, only needed to focus on two things: one was the wedding with Mandy, and the second was to make the repair shop business bigger and stronger.
"October? Looks like I won't be able to attend." Mike said casually: "How about this, I'll leave that pickup truck to you as your wedding gift."
"This... alright. I'll thank you first." Georgie originally wanted to decline, but thinking that he did need a car for transportation after getting married, and having received so many favors from Mike already, one more wouldn't hurt.
Just keep the kindness in mind; it won't be too late to repay when there's a chance in the future.
