Chapter 98: DON’T LISTEN TO HIM
Charles suddenly said, “If you appreciate me that much, I will let my future child study here under your
guidance, but you must give him more love and resources than the others, or else I will me you if he
doesn’t turn out to be sessful in life.”
“Sessful? He''ll be a giant! Sheughed out loud. "But do you have a child?” She looked in surprise
at Sarah, “Are you saying that… you are pregnant, Right?”
Sarah hurried to shake her hands and said, “No, don’t listen to him. We don''t have a child yet, and I am
not pregnant. Don’t listen to him!”
Charles quickly added. “We''ll have one next year!”
Sarah poked him to stop him from talking.
Looking at their interaction, Charles''s auntughed out and winked at him. “Your wife isn''t even
pregnant yet. You need to work harder!”
Charles grinned, “Don’t worry. Next time we will have it if I work hard every night.”
Sarah didn’t expect him to talk like that in front of an olderdy and couldn''t help but blush. His aunt
Charles''s aunt gave them aplete tour guide through the school. Sarah was impressed and thought
that it was easily the best kindergarten school in Houston. Including theyout, facilities, and even the
environment were great. There was probably a high tuition fee for parents to enroll their children here.
While thinking, Sarah listened to their conversation. “We charge ten thousand dors for one year’s
admission, so generally speaking, only high-ss families can afford to send their children here.”
Charles’s aunt was exining.
Ten thousand dors? That was more than Sarah had expected. That was near twice her sry. As a
secretary, her sry had been just below fifty thousand dors per year, which would have made it
impossible for her to pay such high tuition fees. Would kids really learn the real value of money in this
kind of environment, or would they grow up to be spoiled and thinking that they deserved everything
without having to work for anything?
Sarah listened as the olderdy continued. “The money is mainly used for educating and guiding the
children, not for enjoyment. Students whoe here cannot expect to be treated like a little lord as

they are used to at home. We try our best to lead them to be independent and develop their own
intelligence, equipped with skills and knowledge on how to apply what they have learned in their life.
Most of the funds are used for educating and inspiring children’s potential.”
After pausing for a while, she continued. “As you know, many wealthy people are too busy to take good
care of their children, and often leave them to be brought up by a nanny or babysitter, or others may
ask the grandparents toe to help with their children. But the older generation’s concept of raising
children is outdatedpared to modern educational methods and today’s needs. What’s more,
grandparents tend to spoil their grandchildren too much, so how can they teach them proper behavior?
The kids thate here to study receive a well-rounded education. After all, we have a great
professional team that absorbs the quintessence of both traditional and modern education, which is
why we can promise a good oue.”
Sarah finally nodded in agreement. Charles’s aunt was an insightful woman regarding education, who
seemed to have a well-informed and educated look into the future of teaching the next generation.
“I couldn’t agree more with your method of education.” Charles joined the conversation. “Without you, I
wouldn’t be the person I am today.”
Sheughed sweetly at hispliment. “You are so sweet now. I will be too proud of myself if you
praise me like this!”
“You have all the right to be proud,” Charlesughed. “You really are doing a great job! Anyway, I will
bring my future child here for you to teach him. I trust you to raise him the same way you used with
me.”
“Doesn’t your wife have a say in it?” She looked at Sarah.
Sarah had been listening quietly to their conversations. Hearing her name, she shook her hands in a
hurry and said, “I’m okay, it depends on Charles. If your method is better, I will agree. But I will be there
with my child every step of the way. Children need their parents'' love just as much as they need a good
education.”
The aunt nodded and said to Charles, “You have a good wife, and she will be a good mother. She is
right. You also can’t ignore your children just because you are busy in the future. Otherwise, you are
setting them the wrong example!”
Charles shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Of course. But I am not worried at all if you take care of
my baby. Plus, he’ll have a good mother. You see, I turned out good even though my parents didn’t
take care of me. I got good grades and studied in the best schools. And I believe my child can do the
same. If he goes astray, I’ll give him a lesson!”
Sarah frowned. “I don’t agree with you on this subject. A child needs their father’s love. You see, there
are many children of single parents… ” said Sarah, suddenly.
“Single parents? I’m still here!” Charles turned around and interrupted her.
“I didn’t mean that. All I want to say is that as a father if you don’t take care of your child, is it any
different from growing up with a single parent?”
“You are overthinking it! There is a big difference between them. They are totally different!”
Sarah suddenly got angry. She looked at him and frowned again. “Does that mean you have no
intention of taking care of your children in the future, right?”
“No, I didn’t mean that. But if I’m too busy to take care of them, I still won’t worry about it because you
and my aunt will be there to take care of them. Is it the best educational method of a kind mother and a
strict father? Besides, I am a man. Surely, I need to set a stronger image of a father who is focused on
business for my children so that I can guide them to form a special character!”
