Chapter 39: Father and Son
Chapter 39: Father and Son
"Cheap!"
"Indecent!"
Hedy went upset and pushed Victor away, wiping her lips frantically.
This was not enough, she turned on the tap water and washed her lips.
In front of his son, she actually kissed Victor .
This was really unacceptable.
She was a traditional little woman, and always wanted to be a good mother in the traditional sense.
Dignified and generous.
Hardworking and honest.
But now...
Hedy felt that her persona was about to collapse.
Victor didn't expect the woman to react so much. He felt a little unhappy.
Many women wanted his kiss. But this one had the opportunity to get along with him day and night, only because she had his son. She did not cherish it, but... even despised him?
Victor took off the towel hanging on the rack and handed it to Hedy, then walked out with a long face.
Knowing that his daddy was sad, Leo immediately hugged Hedy's thigh and said softly: "Mommy, you really hugged daddy and called him husband last night, I heard it all."
Hedy looked at Leo suspiciously.
The boy nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, and his face was full of "really, not lying to you" expressions.
Hedy couldn't help but wonder if she really said it.
Knowing the most about words and expressions, Leo immediately whispered, "Mom, I actually think Daddy is a nice guy and cares about you."
"He doesn't care about me, he wants to take you..." He wanted to take his son from her.
However, Hedy didn't want to tell Leo.
He is still young and yearning for family affection.
Victor was his biological father, and she doesn't want to discredit him in front of the child. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"Come on, Mommy will wash your face." Hedy picked up the towel, dampened the water and wiped Leo's face.
Leo held his head high and turned his face in accordance with Hedy’s movements. His cute appearance melt Hedy's heart.
Her son was really the best gift she has ever received in her life.
She had to protect her son.
Away from the rotten scoundrels who wanted to take her son.
What Hedy didn't expect was that the noble Victor was washing his hands and making breakfast at this time.
Looking at the scallion pancakes and soy milk on the small dining table, Hedy doubted, "Is the soy milk cooked? Are the scallion pancakes cooked?"
The scallion pancakes were fried until golden on both sides, just like the ones sold along the street.
But he was the president of a big company, how could he cook like a professional?
Hedy thought to herself, and couldn't help but peer into the trash can to see if Victor ordered the takeaway.
Leo laughed while he climbed up a chair, picked up one pancake and ate a mouthful. Then he took a sip from the milk cup.
"It's delicious, it's delicious."
"Mommy, take a bite."
Leo picked up one pancake and handed to Hedy, to her mouth.
Hedy was about to refuse, and Leo had already stuffed the scallion pancake into her mouth.
The pancake was really delicious, soft and tasty in the mouth.
With such a delicious scallion pancake, Hedy could no longer be critical of anything.
Her expression eased a little.
But Victor talked leisurely: "The kindergarten you found for our son is too low-grade, and the teachers are mediocre. I have arranged a better pre-school for my son."
"You care too much." Hedy was unhappy.
During her years in Europe, she compared the growth environment of the children of the two countries and sympathized with the children in China.
At a young age, she was forced to learn a lot of useless skills by her parents. As a teen, she already begun to fear exams and learning.
This was too far away from her ideal of happy learning.
Victor solemnly said: "A few years oversea made you cynical about our country. The children are young and don't understand anything. They are not ready for happy learning now."
"Are you insinuating me?" Hedy was angrily.
Leo stopped eating, tilted his head and looked at Victor.
Victor immediately stated, "Like father like son. My son is the smartest in the world."
Hedy groaned.
“Smart ass.”
Victor continued: "Because of this, I can't allow things like "Shang Zhong Yong" to happen on my son. Therefore, I have placed my son in the Noble Academy, which is ranked No. 1 in X City."
"Noble Academy?" Hedy shivered when she heard the name.
In such a school, the children were all spoiled.
"I don’t agree."
Victor looked at Leo tenderly, in a bewildered tone, "Son, didn't you say that you will be a useful person in the future and be the pride of Daddy and Mommy? Now there is a good opportunity for you. How do you choose?"
"Mommy only wants you to grow up healthy and happy. Mommy doesn't want anything else." Hedy immediately expressed her position.
Leo reached out and touched Hedy 's face, and said sweetly, "Thank you Mommy."
However, Leo also has his own wishes.
"Mommy, I want to go to the Noble Academy. I will grow up healthy and happy, and I will become a useful and shining person."
The enthusiasm in her son's eyes touched Hedy .
Yes, born as a human, regardless of poverty or wealth, one would have problems in his life.
Her having leisure expectations on the boy did not guarantee the boy’s happiness.
Hedy changed her mind, looked at Victor and asked, "How much is the annual tuition fee for the Noble Academy?"
"I will pay." Victor said .
Hedy refused, "Of course I will pay for my son's tuition."
"Well, five million a year." Victor didn't want to argue. He just told Hedy the amount of money so she would give up.
Hedy was dumbfounded.
Five million?
The kindergarten tuition fee is five million a year?
She now worked hard to draw pictures for a year, and she could not make 5 million.
The man just said one word, and she had to pay five million a year?
"I... I am not sending my son to such an expensive school. It’s so expensive, maybe I am paying IQ tax." Hedy was not confident.
Victor said sternly: "The teachers in the school all graduated from Tsinghua, Peking University, Harvard and other institutions of higher learning, and they are all under 35 years old. Each teacher can speak at least five languages and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, dance and equestrian... …"
"Stop!"
Hedy could hardly breathe.
Did it have to be like that?
In just one kindergarten, the teachers all graduated from Tsinghua, Peking University and Harvard. They still had so many skills. Wasn't this overkill?
Victor stared at Hedy , "Do you think those outstanding figures are made from the cracks of stones? Even geniuses have to be on nutritious soil to be fully successful."
