Chapter 540: 536: Being a Mommy Requires Great Wisdom
“So, it was actually your sense of responsibility and mission that pulled you back on track, right?”
Richelle Dunn muttered an agreement.
“But for Timmy, he hasn’t experienced the hardships of life. The so-called sense of responsibility and mission are nonexistent for him. That’s why Mr. Kingston must have seized this opportunity to show Timmy the unlimited possibilities of this subject, in order to stimulate his curiosity and desire to conquer.”
Roy Lewis looked at her seriously, “Did Mr. Kingston tell you all this?”
Richelle shook her head, “How could he possibly have told me these things? He’s very busy. He mentioned the important stuff to me and hurriedly hung up the call. He’s only so invested in his precious disciple. If it were anyone else, he’d be too lazy to bother. It’s an opportunity that others would kill to have.”
Roy Lewis felt that it made sense and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Listening to you, it’s harder than choosing a concubine in ancient times.”
Richelle replied to him quite seriously.
“Of course, it would be much harder. Think about it, there are only a few grandmasters like my master and Mr. Kingston in the world. Timmy is a promising seed they handpicked together. Just imagine how difficult that is. In ancient times, an emperor could choose thousands of concubines, and there are so many emperors in the world!”
Roy Lewis now understood the importance of the matter even more clearly.
“Then you’d better think of a way. Timmy has a stubborn personality, and forceful persuasion isn’t going to work.”
Actually, Richelle had already come up with a strategy.
“If I say that we’ll leave you alone to look after the house, will you be angry?”
Roy Lewis looked at her, amused and exasperated.
“I’m not that petty. Do whatever you think is best.”
And so, after dinner, Roy Lewis and Richelle accompanied the three children to play in the recreation room.
Roy Lewis deliberately took Timothy and Tifanny aside, saying that they needed to help him fetch something from downstairs, leaving Richelle and Timmy alone in the recreation room.
Timmy, being smart, could tell from the situation that his mommy had something to discuss with him.
“Mommy, do you want to convince me to attend my master’s seminar?”
Richelle smiled and shook her head, “Whether or not you attend the seminar is up to you, but take a look at this!”
Richelle had always been an open-minded parent who respected her children, but she was also a wise parent.
Timmy glanced at the colorful map in front of him.
“Mommy, what is this?”
This map had been enlarged and reprinted by Richelle.
“Darling, can you see that there are many places you and your siblings want to visit on this map?”
Timmy looked carefully and indeed found many spots marked on the map.
And those marked places were indeed the ones he and his siblings had been yearning to go.
“Mommy, are we going on a trip? But daddy…”
Richelle touched his head, “Your daddy has been traveling all over the world for years, but you guys haven’t. We can’t always wait for your daddy. Besides, as an adult, he has more important things to do. But we have our own lives too, and we shouldn’t give up the happiness and life we’re supposed to have just because of your daddy, right?”
Timmy reluctantly agreed with his father, “Sigh, it’s tough for daddy. He has trouble moving, and now he’s being abandoned by us.”
If it were a normal situation, Richelle wouldn’t have done this. But now it was just for the sake of coaxing her son into attending the seminar.
“Daddy won’t mind. He’s doing what he loves and is willing to do. Besides, don’t we have plenty of time in the future to go out and play with daddy?”
Timmy finally nodded reluctantly.
“Did daddy agree to this? Do my brother and sister know?”
“Of course, daddy agreed. He wants us all to be happy too. As for your brother and sister, we have to seek your opinion as the eldest brother first.”
Although the three siblings never explicitly stated it, their daily interactions were basically based on Timmy acting as their spokesperson.
So when Richelle said this, Timmy nodded.
“Alright, I’ll talk to Timmy and Tifanny.”
At this point, Richelle revealed part of the folded map and pointed at a marked location on the top.
“Sweetie, since we’ll be going on a trip and the school where your master’s seminar is so close, why don’t you attend the seminar as well?”
Timmy’s heart had already accepted the plan to travel with his mommy and siblings, so after hearing her mention the seminar, he had no resistance left.
However, he was still somewhat worried.
“Master said the seminar would last three days. Wouldn’t we lose three days?”
Richelle had already prepared answers for Timmy’s concerns.
“What’s the big deal? I mentioned this to Grandmaster Linwood, and he said he has a junior sister nearby who is a very famous pianist. He suggested that Tifanny could learn from his junior sister for a few days, which would be very helpful for her future competitions.”
When Timmy heard that his mommy had everything well planned, he didn’t hesitate and nodded readily.
“Then I’ll reply to my master right away!”
