Chapter 19 Brother Looks the Same as Me
Gene blushed.”No, no, Mommy.”
Taylor chuckled.”You have grown up.”
Gene ran away after Taylor put him down.
He stood outside the bedroom, listening to the noise inside, the sound of running water, the sound of taking a shower, and the footsteps of his mommy in slippers.
After making sure that Mommy was dressed, he pushed the door open and saw her lying on the bed, her eyes closed. She said,”Kate, Mommy will have an important operation in several days. I need to sleep now.”
“… Okay, Mommy.”
Her sister had said that Mommy was in poor health and liked to sleep. What she usually did was either sleep or get rid of the trouble and prepare to sleep.
Therefore, he couldn’t disturb his mommy.
Two minutes later, after the sound of steady breathing came from the bed, Gene walked up to his mother and climbed onto the bed. Then he found a place in Taylor’s arms and curled up there. Listening to his mother’s heartbeat, he slowly fell asleep.
Great.
He had a Mommy.
He didn’t notice the messages on the phone in his pocket, which were sent by Kate for help.
“Gene, help!”
“Gene, change back now!”
“I will never love Dad again!”
Upstairs.
Kate sent another message to her brother when Julian was pouring water. Seeing Gene not reply, she could only work on the questions.
She bit the pen and stared at the contents of the textbook, very frustrated.
She grew up abroad so she couldn’t understand the questions on the paper at all!
Julian returned, and he sat next to her.
He had not tutored his son for half a year, so he didn’t know his learning progress. He pointed to the simplest question and asked,”Do you know the answer to this question?”
Kate’s big eyes were full of confusion.
Julian was silent for a moment. He turned back to the textbook and pointed to another question,”What about this?”
Kate shook her head.
“…”
Julian stared at her. He was wondering why Gene couldn’t answer these two questions now, half a year ago he gave the questions quickly. Besides, why did he shake his head without even looking at the question?
Kate said,”Dad, why don’t we learn poetry? I could recite a lot of poetry.”
“… Okay.”
Julian opened the Poetry Appreciation,”Is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world, what’s the next sentence?”
Kate’s eyes lit up. She raised her hand,”I know!”
Julian breathed a sigh of relief. Gene’s math was not satisfying. But it would be good if he didn’t lose his poetry appreciation.
As soon as he thought of this, Julian heard her shouting,”Is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world, that is a handsome boy’s voice.”
“… It’s a mother!”
Kate blinked,”Oops. Dad, the next question.”
“There is only one truth, it is not in religion….”
“But on an attractive guy’s face,”Kate replied quickly.
“…”
Julian took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry. He decided to try again.”Green, green the reed, dew and frost gleam…”
Kate was full of confidence. She shook her head while reciting the poem.
“The so-called beauty was on the Internet.
“She had a fat and long face.
“When you met her in high spirits, you found her waist was like a big water tank…”
Looking at his son’s face, he couldn’t help roaring,”Jonathan, Smith!”
Kate looked up,”Dad, am I great? I can recite a lot more!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Julian Smith:?
Looking at his son’s expression, his anger was immediately suppressed.
It was all tutors’fault. Why was he angry with the child? Just punish the two teachers!
“Let’s learn tomorrow,”Julian said gloomily.
“Great! Great!”
Kate heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Seeing Lenny poking his head out of the door, she guessed that he was looking for her father. She carefully climbed down from the chair,”I’m going to play with toys!”
“…”
Watching her run away, Julian rubbed his temples.
Lenny walked in and said with a complicated expression,”Gene seems to be even worse than what the teacher said. In this case, he is going to step back to the last place in the exam at the end of the year, right? Do you want to take the time to contact a few teachers? There is still time until the end of the year…”
At the end of each year, the Smith family would hold an assessment for the children.
Gene had always been at the top, so he had a good reputation for his high IQ.
But in just half a year, his level had fallen so low.
No wonder others said that children had a good memory, but it was easy for them to forget. Once they ignored it for one time, their studies would be wasted.
Julian was very annoyed. He closed his eyes and thought for a long time before sighing,”Forget it, I won’t force him anymore.”
In the past, he had paid too much attention to education, which was the reason Gene always disobeyed him.
But seeing his smile and crying, he realized that the child’s mental strength was more important than anything else.
Even if his son really couldn’t do anything, he had to take the last place every time. He would arrange a job for his son in the future.
Julian, who had always been determined, hesitated for a moment,”Do you think that Gene is very different today?”
His son had never said this kind of thing.
But today, not only did he speak, but he seemed to become much more cheerful.
He suddenly remembered what that woman had said downstairs… How did she know that there was something wrong with his teacher?
Could it be that Gene had always been in touch with that woman?
Lenny also thought for a while,”Could it be that Ms. Green opened Gene’s heart? Speaking of which, Ms. Green impressed me. After all, so many women want to get close to you through Gene, but they failed!”
Lenny had taken care of too many women who wanted to approach Mr. Smith.
He said,”If Ms. Green’s personality will affect Gene, do you think we should give her a chance to get close to you?”
Julian hesitated for a while and asked,”What is she doing now?”
Lenny replied,”The waiter went to clean up just now. He heard from her nanny that she was sleeping and did not want to be disturbed. Her aunt’s life is in grave danger, but she is still sleeping?”
Such a person was too cold-blooded.
Julian’s face darkened.”Don’t let her have any contact with Gene.”
“OK.”
Lenny still wanted to speak, but Julian suddenly saw that the little fellow had fallen asleep on the sofa.
He made a gesture of silence and walked over to pick up Kate, ready to send her back to the bedroom.
In a daze, Kate suddenly hugged his neck.
“Mommy, I found my brother. He looks the same as me…”
Julian stopped and frowned.
