    Balfour looked at her, “What are you getting at?”


    Ellinor stood up, her gaze steady on him, ‘Mr. Howard, I think your teaching methods are a bit off.”


    Balfour chuckled, “Ms Mendoza, I didn’t even get a chance to say hello. We’ve barely been apart, and


    here we are again. But before I could ask why you were with my brother, you jumped the gun and


    started questioning me. Do you think you’re an expert at education?”


    Ellinor heard the sarcasm in Balfour’s words, but she clearly didn’t care.


    ‘I’m no expert, but sadly I’ve been through some pretty terrible education myself and have been on the


    receiving end of some horrible lessons. So I thought I’d give you a heads up and save you some regret


    down the line.”


    Balfour lounged in his chair with his elbow resting on the armrest and his long fingers lightly propping


    up his forehead, “What advice do you have to offer? Do tell, I’m all


    ears’


    Ellinor nced at Byran lying on the sickbed, his head hanging low, much like a mouse in the presence


    of a cat.


    Then she fixed her cool and sharp gaze back onto Balfour.


    *Mr. Howard, I understand you want your brother to seed, but don’t you think your way of teaching


    might crush his self-confidence, leaving him at a loss when faced with problems, or it could even make


    him start to doubt and loathe himself?”Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Byran was taken aback. He looked up at Ellinor, surprised that she understood his feelings all along.


    She was actually speaking up for him to Balfour.


    Balfour squinted his eyes, “Go on.”


    Ellinor continued, “Byran got hurt today because he rushed to help a girl who suddenly fell ill.


    Regardless, you should first affirm his intention to help, then slowly teach him to ensure his own safety


    the next time he helps someone else. Instead of outright negating everything he did, like you just did”


    Balfour raised an eyebrow slightly, “If a person really wants to be acknowledged by others, the first


    thing they need to do is make their actions impable, not demand others to lower their expectations.”


    Ellinor didn’t agree with his harsh view, so she continued, “No one is perfect!


    Mr. Howard, perfectionism is your problem, not your brother’s. You can demand yourself to be wless,


    but you have no right to demand that he must also be a perfectionist, even if he is your own brother!


    Everyone is an individual. His personality or bad grades don’t mean he can’t lead a satisfactory life.


    Your brother has a knack for E-sports, he can totally make a name for himself with his own talent. He’s


    still young, why won’t you let him do what he loves?


    There has never been an absolute standard to judge what a person needs to achieve to be excellent,


    and not everyone needs to be an overachiever to be happy.


    Some people don’t need to meet others’ standards of excellence; they can still lead a very satisfying


    and happy life.


    As his brother, don’t you want your brother to be happy?”


    Byran looked at Ellinor in disbelief and was deeply moved as he listened to Ellinor say all this.


    Ellinor had spoken about how he felt. She was truly his confidant!


    However, in the face of Ellinor’s string of questions, Balfour didn’t react much. He just squinted his eyes


    slightly and seemed to be listening, but not at the same time.
