Chapter 979
"He is usually very attentive to the children's matters. This is the first time," Fiona said resignedly, "So, he has been worried all day, and it is Chicago who ends up comforting him."
"You can't spoil him like this. He needs to remember this so he won't be so careless next time," Anna said given her experience.
Fiona nodded. "Alright, while the durian is fresh, I'll take this back for Chicago and Charles to eat."
Anna said, "Okay!"
"Mom, I want to go play with Chicago and Charles, too!" Brady quickly raised his hand.
"Have you finished your homework for today?" Anna asked.
Brady's enthusiasm immediately waned.
In the end, he couldn't go with Fiona and was taken back to the study by Anna to do his homework.
"Mom, I heard that Chicago and Charles all got first place in their grades. Do you think I'm stupid?" Brady asked Anna dejectedly as he did his homework.
He had gone over to play with them in the morning.
Chicago and Charles were both studying. Brady took a look at the problems they were working on. Even though he was in a higher grade than them, he couldn't understand any of the problems.
The bodyguard said that Charles was in a meeting with engineers or something, which he didn't quite understand. But it sounded impressive.
Seeing Brady's sad look, Anna felt a bit helpless. She sat across from him and said gently, "Brady, didn't I tell you? Everyone comes into this world with different tasks, so there's no need to compare."
Anna continued, "Being excellent in both character and academics is their task. Maybe your task is just to be an honest and happy child."
"I am very happy, and I don't lie!" Brady perked up. "So, Mom, am I a good child too?"
"Of course!" Anna nodded. "Not only are you a good child, but you're also an amazing one! Look at those clay sculptures you made. They're beautiful!"
"Okay!" Brady nodded vigorously.
Anna patted his head and glanced at his homework. "How much have you done? Let me take a look."
Thirty seconds later, Anna stood up abruptly and slammed the table. "Brady, you're going to take the entrance exam next year, and you got such simple addition and subtraction questions wrong!"
Brady quickly grabbed his mom's hand, which was about to rise. "Mom! Calm down! You just said my task is to be happy and honest, not to do math problems. Mom, calm down!!"
Anna was almost driven to madness.
As Anna couldn't stay calm, Brady got a spanking. Crying, he called the family tutor, who helped with the remaining homework.
The warm moment between Anna and Brady lasted only three seconds before it was gone. Fiona didn't know that at all.
She was carrying the durian flesh back.
From a distance, she saw Darwin obediently waiting in the pavilion.
Just as she was about to go over, someone called her, "Fiona?"
Fiona looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a middle-aged woman in a dress, carrying a conspicuous luxury brand bag—Lily.
Fiona had an impression of people she had met and spoken with before. She quickly matched the person in her mind.
This was the wife of the president of the world-renowned luxury brand—Lily.
"Helen." Fiona nodded politely.
"You still remember me?" Helen smiled warmly. "If I recall correctly, the last time we met was at a trade fair in Mystic Hollow!"
Fiona nodded. "I was fortunate to see your company's products then. Very impressive."
Hearing Fiona's praise about Lily, Helen smiled with joy.
She was American while her husband was French. And their family had been in the business of Lily for generations.
