Chapter 1806 Mother-Son Drama

"He's usually very attentive to the kids, but today was a first," Athena said with a hint of helplessness, "So he has been feeling uneasy all day. On the contrary, Mia has been comforting him."

"You shouldn't spoil him like this. You have to let him learn from this lesson so that he won't be so careless next time," Emily, speaking from her own parenting experience, advised. Athena nodded. "You're right. The fruits are still fresh. I'll take them back to the kids."

"Okay!"

"Mom, can I go play with my cousins too?" Richie quickly raised his hand.

"Have you finished your homework today?" Emily asked.

Richie's enthusiasm immediately waned.

Eventually, he didn't accompany Athena and was brought back to his study by Emily to finish his homework.

"Mom, I heard that my cousins got first place in their grades. Are you thinking that I'm dumb?" Richie asked to Emily, and looking downcast.

Before, in the morning, he had gone to play with them.

Aiden and Mia were all studying. Richie took a look at the questions they were answering. He was older and in a higher grade, but he couldn't figure out those questions. Richie was also impressed by Aiden.

The bodyguard told him that Aiden was in a meeting about engineering or something, which he couldn't quite understand.

However, it sounded brilliant.

Emily saw the dejected look on her son's face, feeling somewhat helpless. She sat down across from him and said gently, "Richie, haven't I told you? Everyone comes into this world with different tasks and abilities, so there's no need to compare yourself with others."

She continued, "Being academically excellent is your cousins' task. For you, perhaps your task is to be a happy and honest child."

"Then I'm happy! I don't lie!" Richie brightened up. "So, Mom, am I a good kid?"

"Of course!" Emily nodded. "Not only are you a good kid, you're an amazing one! Those clay figurines you made are so beautiful!" "Great!" Richie nodded eagerly.

Emily patted his head and glanced at his summer homework. "How much have you written? Let me see."

Thirty seconds later.

Emily stood up and slammed the table, exclaiming, "Richie, you'll be in middle school next year, and you can't even do simple addition and subtraction correctly?"

Richie quickly reached out to stop his mom from hitting him. "Mom! Calm down! You just said that my task is to be happy and honest, not to solve math problems. Calm down!" Emily instantly became furious.

It was impossible for her to calm down. She beat Richie up, making him sob. Then, Emily called Richie's tutor and asked her to help him with the rest of his homework. Meanwhile, Athena, blissfully unaware of this mother-son drama, carried the fruits back towards the gazebo.

She saw Byron patiently waiting inside from a distance.

When Athena was just about to walk over, someone stopped her.

"Are you Ms. Stella?"

Athena turned towards the voice and saw a middle-aged woman wearing an elegant dress and an exquisite pearl necklace.

I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam, with the most luxurious pearls visible to the naked eye.

Athena remembered every person she had met and conversed with.

So, she quickly recognized this woman.

She was the wife of the CEO of the world's top luxury pearl brand, Montse Akano.

"Mrs. Akano," Athena nodded politely.

"You still remember me?" Montse smiled warmly. "If my memory served me correctly, we last met at a trade fair in Boleo!"

Athena nodded again. "I had the privilege of seeing your company's flagship pearl during that event. It was truly impressive."
