Chapter 163
Athena asked, “So, can you y tennis?”
“Yes!” ric said proudly, puffing out his chest like a proud rooster. “I became a key yer on the
school basketball team as soon as I started middle school, which gives me free ess to the sports
complex. They have tennis courts there, and I often y tennis with the tennis team. It’s the same
even in high school and university. The coach of the tennis team even wanted to recruit me, but the
basketball team wouldn’t let me go. Well, being a genius means everyone wants you.”
Athena gave him a thumbs up. “ric, you’re amazing.”
ric chuckled and gave a thumbs-up while rubbing his nose. He proudly said, “Of course! I’m
known at school as the basketball prince and the tennis prince, and have a lot of girls chasing after
me.”
“You’re just bragging. Arthur mocked him. “That’s because I didn’t finish at the University of
Technology. If I had stayed there, you wouldn’t have had a chance.
Athena had heard Arthur was also admitted to the University of Technology with top scores. He had
promised to team up with ric to create a legend at the university. However, after just one year, he
comined that the school wasn’t fun. He said that since his major would lead him to work in a
factory after graduation, he might as well help their parents sell barbecue instead.
Hence, he decided to drop out of school, ignoring all the advice from his family.
Athena calcted that the year Arthur decided to drop out of school was also the year Jaden was
deceived into marriage.
She reasonably suspected that Arthur made this decision because he didn’t want to see their
parents and Jaden working so
hard.
ric looked down on Arthur and said, “Just look at you with that pretty boy appearance. Your skin
is even whiter than a girl’s, no chest muscles and your biceps aren’t developed at all. You don’t
have any masculinity at all…”
“I have six-pack abs too!” Arthur eximed as he grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. “You jocks
are all the same. Just like a big gori, you only have a big body and strong limbs, yet narrow
minds, judging people only by appearance…
ric caught the pillow and said, “You’re the real gori! Your whole family are goris…”
The others all turned to look at him.
He covered his mouth with one hand, held the pillow with the other, and lunged at Arthur, “I’ll show
you the power of a jock right now…”
Fortunately, the sofa and living room were spacious enough for them to roll around without worry.
Athena held a fruit tter and ate blueberries while watching them yfully wrestle with curiosity.
She secretly thought to herself, ‘Could hitting and scolding be a form of affection for them?’
Maria sat with her back to everyone, close to the television screen. She happily cracked sunflower
seeds while watching a drama starring Andrew.
The drama, which was originally supposed to be wrapped up in twenty episodes, ended up
stretching over forty episodes. Tonight, it finally reached itsst episode, and Maria couldn’t resist
watching it. She watched while cursing at the screen. “stic face, such a faker! I curse him to
never get another role in the future!”
After watching, she picked up her tablet and searched online for news about Andrew, hoping to find
gossip about his scandals and any future roles he might lose.
To her disappointment, she found nothing and was so furious that she blurted out, “What a jerk!

such terrible actingnd the perfect third male lead in a top-tier series like Immortal Heroes? It’s
outrageous! He must have sold his looks or spent a lot of money to get this role!”
Athena sighed quietly upon hearing Maria’sints.
The girl just couldn’t stay calm. She knew watching a drama with that actor would make her angry,
but she still watched it and angered herself.
At that moment, ire finished counting the money and remembered something. “Maria, tomorrow
is Saturday, and Josie is going to the kindergarten to register. She’ll officially start school on
Monday. Do you have time to take her to the school to take a look?”
After arriving home, Josie noted that Maria had taken care of her the most and was the most
familiar with everything about kindergarten.
“Ah! I almost forgot about that, Maria eximed, a bit flustered as she patted her head. “Tomorrow, I
have a very famous teacher giving me my first lesson, and it feels a bit rude to take a day off
Justst week, the renowned expert professor, Cesar Bullock from Dichester Art College,
unexpectedly called her. He mentioned that he hade across her design drafts by chance and
believed she had great talent. He wanted to take her on as a student and asked if she could attend
his ss at Dichester Art College.
Maria was both ttered and surprised by the call, but also skeptical that it might be a scam. While
cautiously exining that she had to work and that her family’s financial situation wasn’t good
enough for her to attend school in Dichester, she quickly searched for information about him online.
Cesar then offered to fly to Kitmore City every weekend to teach her for one to two days, with the
location arranged by her.
After confirming that there was indeed such a prominent professor named Cesar Bullock in the
industry, she asked if they could have a video interview to avoid any regrets he might have after
meeting her in person.
Cesar agreed without hesitation.
When she saw that he looked exactly like the photos in the news, she finally believed that good
fortune had truly fallen into herp, leaving her a bit shocked.
Without hesitation, she epted Cesar’s kind offer.
Even if he had ulterior motives, she wasn’t worried. After all, she would choose the teaching
location, and she would be
cautious.
She was incredibly happy about this and felt like shouting it out to the whole family.
However, her family didn’t realize just how impressive Cesar was. Athena’s reputation and status
were higher than his, so she felt it would be too arrogant to share such news as a neer who
hadn’t achieved anything yet. Therefore, she decided to keep it a secret and didn’t mention it.
Upon hearing this, ric raised his hand and said, “I’ll go! I love little kids!”
ire red at him. “Other people go to kindergarten to do serious things, but you just go there to
y. I can’t rely on you.”
Athena raised her hand and said, “I’ll go, and I have a car.”
ire smiled and said, “I feel the most at ease when Athena is the one doing things. Go ahead,
Athenal”
Then, she nced at everyone. “It’s gettingte. Go wash up and sleep. Don’t affect tomorrow’s
work.”
That night, the Donovan family went to bed early and woke up early the next morning.
Chapter 163
In the morning, as Athena just got out of bed, she could faintly hear Josie’s cheerfulughter.
While holding her cup of water and brushing her teeth, she pulled back the curtain and walked out
to the balcony. There, under the carport across the way, she saw Arthur and ric ying
basketball.
They had installed a basketball hoop at the edge of the carport, using the empty parking space to
y. As they fought for the ball and took shots, they pushed and yfully shoved each other,
exchanging yful insults and creating an atmosphere full of youthful energy.
“Ah, it’s so energetic to see young people ying basketball in the morning!” She sighed inwardly.
“If I could see this scene every day, my mentality would probably never age…
After brushing her teeth, she called over to josie on the balcony next door, “Josie, get ready to
change your clothes and have breakfast, then we’ll head to school!”
“Okay!” Josie waved at her and then called down to her brothers, Arthur, ric, it’s time for
breakfast!” After that, she. bounced into the house.
Next, the entire family gathered together for breakfast, which was a rare asion.
After breakfast, Jaden went to the hospital to visit his grandparents, Maria headed to ss, Arthur
took ric and their parents to arrestaurant, and Athena drove Josie to a nearby public
kindergarten.
When the Donovan family first moved into Mid-Level Mountain Garden, they contacted the principal
and teachers of the kindergarten to inquire about Josie’s admission.
After learning that Josie lived in Mid-Level Mountain Garden, and seeing how well-behaved and
smart she was-already able to recognize characters at just four and a half-the principal and
teachers confirmed that the kindergarten still had space. They invited the Donovan family to bring
Josie for registration and an interview at the start of the school term, assuring them that, if all went
well, she could start immediately
Athena was very confident in Josie.
On the way, she asked Josie, “Are you scared of going to a new kindergarten where you don’t know
the teachers and ssmates?”
