Chapter 1874


    Grace did not expect for this seemingly young nonprofessional teacher to have such a high opinion of her daughter.


    It seemed that Kendrix had considered all of Sylvia''s ws as advantages. Grace was a little surprised and suspicious of him.


    She had no idea how Kendrix could see Sylvia''s ws as good points.


    How could he appreciate those ws so much? He was even able to spin those ws into merits


    Wasn''t the fact that Sylvia frequently went out of line a clear shoring?


    Grace pondered and tried to reevaluate the situation.


    She looked at Kendrix with surprise in her eyes and said, "Mr. Trevino, in my opinion, these merits that you''ve mentioned are rather obscure, aren''t


    they? I still don''t see how they could be read as anything other than ws. Don''t you think it''s a little far-fetched to think of them as merits?"


    She was really worried for Sylvia


    Every parent in the world shared this worry.


    Grace could not help herself from worrying about her daughter''s wellbeing. She just hoped that her daughter would not hurt others or herself in the


    future.


    "Mrs. Jones, I think you''re a bit odd. If you hadn''t nned on changing your opinion of Sylvia after asking me, why bother speaking to me at all?"


    Kendrix asked in a low voice,


    Grace was dumbfounded by that.


    "Mrs. Jones, since you came to ask me about Sylvia, you must have some questions about your daughter''s behavior, right?”


    Kendrix''s words left Grace speechless.


    Grace let out augh. "I honestly don''t know how to answer that.”


    Kendrix smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Jones, you know very well that your daughter does not mean any harm to anyone. She''ll act out of line


    sometimes, but you have to remember that those who adhere to the rules may not be able to make a difference in the real world."


    Grace nodded subconsciously.


    It seemed to make sense


    Kendrix continued, "In my opinion, Sylvia is different from the others in every aspect. It''s actually a good thing because she''ll be more likely to stand


    out and seed. She''ll be able to make a name for herself in her industry someday.”


    Grace smiled at that. "Like you? But I think you''re a genius. My daughter is also very smart, but I don''t think she''s a genius like you."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    "I''m not a genius. I just had more opportunities to develop my own interest than others.” Kendrix smiled. "Mrs. Jones, why don''t you give your


    daughter some space? As far as I know, she stayed in the school dormsst night, didn''t she? If you''re not sure how you can help her develop, it''s


    better for you to let her have some free space outside of home to do it herself.”


    This time, Kendrix had incidentally answered one of the burning questions Grace had in her mind


    She was debating if she should let Sylvia stay at home or in the school dorms.


    From Kendrix''s answer, it seemed like the teacher had given her an obvious answer.


    After thinking for a while, Grace asked with a smile, "Mr. Trevino, do you think it would be better for Sylvia to stay in the school dorms next semester?"


    "In my opinion, if you can''t make yourself appreciate your child''s talent and behavior, it''s better to let her stay somewhere else that appreciates her. At


    least she won''t feel restrained from developing herself."


    Before Grace could speak, Alice questioned, "Mr. Trevino, why are you speaking as if my sister doesn''t love her own daughter? She carried Sylvia in


    her womb for 10 months!"


    "I suppose a better way of saying it is that she doesn''t fully appreciate her daughter''s talents.” Kendrix rebutted directly, "If you had, you wouldn''t have


    come to me, would you? Since you came to me, I suppose you''re not sure if you''re fit to educate your daughter. In my opinion, you''re not confident


    enough in your own daughter. However, Sylvia''s confidence in herself is enough. I admire her for that.”


    He spoke the truth.


    Alice turned to look at Grace in shock. She did not say anything for a long while


    Grace looked at her watch with a smile. Their ten minutes was up.


    Grace didn''t want to take up too


    much of Kendrix''s time. With a


    smile, she said, r. Trevino, I have I


    benefited-a lot from today''s visit.


    Thank YOU for telling me so mueh


    about Sylvia. I will deeply reflect on


    everything you said. Maybe you''re


    right. I have never really understood


    my daughter, let alone appreciate


    her unconditionally." Content

    Kendrix smiled back. "Not everyone can do it. You don''t have to feel sorry or guilty. Most parents think that they have absolute power over their


    children, but in fact, they don''t know much about them.”


    "I feel really ashamed of my behavior. Maybe I should try to bond with her properly from now on."


    "Mrs. Jones, since you''vee to see me, I might as well be blunt. It''s very simple to neglect and oppress your child. You have to understand that


    vour child will never stop loving you, but that may cause them to stop loving themselves.”


    Kendrix''s words deeply hurt Grace. At that moment, she suddenly felt herself getting panicked.


    Her heart started to ache.


    She was upset.


    Grace and Kendrix fixed their gazes on each other unblinkingly. Neither of them locked away.


    The young man had a sad look in his eyes, which caused Grace to feel upset as well.


    Grace had an epiphany after hearing what Kendrix had said. She suddenly felt that the way she had treated Sylvia was wrong. She had made a lot of


    mistakes in educating Sylvia.


    Grace and Alice''s expressions suddenly hardened at the same time. Alice had stopped questioning Kendrix. She looked at Kendrix respectfully. She


    felt that everything Kendrix had said was right.


    It seemed that this trip was worthwhile. Grace and Alice were enlightened after their conversation with Kendrix


    The two women left with solemn expressions on their faces.


    Kendrix saw them off at the door, then walked back into his office.


    Alice held onto Grace''s arm as they walked out.


    The two sisters did not speak. When they got into the car, Alice buckled her seatbelt and turned towards her sister. She asked, "Grace, Mr. Trevino''s


    words really touched me."


    "Was it the part when he said that our child will never stop loving us, but that may cause them to stop loving themselves?" Grace asked.


    "Yes, that''s right." Alice thought for a


    moment and said, "I think it makes


    sense. I mayoppress my children


    too much and cause them to give up


    on themselves. They might even RN


    lose alt-their confidence. But Sylvia S


    respanbe was different, right? The


    mare we criticized her, the pore she


    acted out. Teenagers havea


    rebellious phase, don''t they? The


    more we criticize them for doing


    something, the more they''ll want to


    do it deliberately.” Content belongs

    Grace forced a smile and said, "Maybe. Honestly,


    I''m feeling really ashamed of myself. Perhaps Mr. Trevino was right. It will be better for Sylvia to stay in the school dorms.”


    "Shall we go pay her a visit now?" Alice couldn''t help but ask. “I think it''s okay for us to at least exchange some words offort with her.”


    After thinking for a moment, Grace shook her head and said, "There''s no need for that. The timing isn''t right. We''ll need toy low for a few days.”


    "Alright. Shall we head back home now?" Alice asked.


    Grace nodded and said, "Let''s go home and reflect on what Mr. Trevino said."


    "Yes, I''ll need to take some time to


    think about everything he said


    carefully. I kpow that I have trouble


    controlling my temper sometimes,


    so it must have caused my children


    to becgrne short-tempered.” Alice


    smiled shyly. "It really is like what


    Mr=Trevino said. No matter-Fow


    Rich I yell at them in theday, my


    kids will alwayse crawling back


    to me at night. I''ll have to remember


    that they will always love me."


    "Now that you''ve realized your mistakes, you can always fix them,” Grace said encouragingly, "It''s good that you''re so self aware.” "Yes, I agree."


    Grace stroked her own belly thoughtfully. She was reflecting on her conversation with Kendrix.


    It seemed that life was filled with growth, no matter one''s age. One had to reflect on themselves constantly to improve themselves. Grace thought that


    she had to start reflecting immediately. Otherwise, the children she would be giving birth to might end up being burdened by her as well.
