Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 1013

Justin stroked Cherry's hair and slowly answered, "Cherry, while your mom and I—and even your brothers —will never leave you to fend for yourself in the future, I hope you can have the ability to solve your problems with your own strength."

Cherry was stunned.

It was a rare occasion when Justin smiled. He said to Cherry, "What you guys are learning now may not be useful in the future—you may not even use some of these things your whole life—but they form a foundation of knowledge.

"You may be interested in gaming now, but it's impossible that you'll only play games all your life. I don't want you to end up as someone who can only look on helplessly when you develop an interest in other things in the future, unable to do anything due to a lack of foundation.

"Cherry, you still have a long life ahead of you. All the hard work you put in today will build your confidence in the future."

Justin looked at Cheryl after he spoke.

His daughter's features were young, but she looked thoughtful when she heard his words.

Justin stood up quietly and gave her time and space to think.

As soon as he turned around, he spotted Nora who was standing nearby.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, the beauty mark at the corner of his eye shimmering a little. Then, he strode over.

The two went back to the bedroom together.

After taking a bath, Justin came out to see Nora sitting on the sofa and looking out the window.

He strode over and asked, "Penny for your thoughts?"

Nora replied, "I received a phone call yesterday from a reporter who wants to interview us."

When Pete enrolled at the top university in the United States with a perfect score on his college entrance examination at ten years old, countless reporters wanted to interview his parents. However, they were all rejected. Various schools even invited them to give speeches, but they had turned down all the invitations.

However, Nora suddenly felt like accepting one of the interviews now.

Justin didn't ask her why. He only smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

As he spoke, his misbehaving hand reached into her collar...

Nora wanted to sleep, but when she thought of how he had advised their daughter so patiently just now, she ultimately did not refuse him...

The next day, Cherry got up bright and early and had breakfast with Xander.

Only a night had passed, but Xander could already sense that there seemed to be something different about his sister—it felt like she had figured out something.

At the dining table, as Mrs. Hunt looked at Cherry, she couldn't help but say, "The school called up your parents and summoned them to the office yesterday, right? Well, Pete has never had teachers summon his parents to the school..."

Mrs. Hunt was just being naggy and mouthing off. Now that she had gotten on in years, there was simply no way of correcting this bad habit of hers anymore. Everyone at home also let her be.

Cherry looked up. "I've decided to study hard. I won't be any less brilliant than Pete in the future!"

Her words took Mrs. Hunt by surprise. A moment later, she couldn't help but scoff and say, "You're already ten. It's too late even if you start studying hard now. No matter how hard you work, you will never surpass Pete!"

Xander couldn't help but say, "Don't rush, Cherry."

He was planning to tell Pete to slow down a little and wait for their sister.

But as soon as the thought formed, Cherry said, "I'm only ten years old. And even if I'm twenty or thirty, as long as I study hard, it's never too late."

She stuffed the rest of her sandwich into her mouth after she spoke and then looked at Mrs. Hunt with her big, clearly-defined eyes. "Let's wait and see, Great-Grandma!"

She would definitely blow everyone away!

Mrs. Hunt curled her lips disdainfully. "Sure, we'll wait
