Ashton still turned out to be at the top of the entire grade even when he deliberately lost a point. He had failed to tone it down.
A parent said, "Where are the parents of the top student? We should really learn from them."
Another commented, "That's right! Who are Ashton's parents?"
The parents were restlessly looking around for Ashton's parents.
Stephanie and Steven sat there, full of nerves. Ashton and Xan truly couldn't tone things down at all.
"I'd like to invite Ashton's parents out to share their experience in raising their child." Joyce smiled at both of them.
Steven shook his head anxiously. He couldn't do it when he had social phobia.
Stephanie rolled her eyes at him, finding him utterly useless. She then gathered her courage and got to her feet.
The parents were shocked. "Both children—the top student and the last-ranking-are actually from the same family?"
"It seems they weren't joking when they said their daughter couldn't be bothered to answer the papers."
All the parents stared at Stephanie as she walked out. She coughed, finding herself getting nervous.
She said, "Well... I have nothing much to share. My husband and I don't really keep an eye on our children. We're both young and inexperienced in educating children, so we just let them develop on their own."
Stephanie was just stating the truth, but the other parents fell silent upon hearing her humblebrag-
They worked hard in educating their children, yet they couldn't even hold a candle to her, whose child still ended up getting the top spot without her doing anything.
"Well, the thing is, my husband and I just focus on building the children's character and helping them become kind people. As for their grades, it's all thanks to their teachers!" Stephanie sensibly said.
Upon hearing her words, Joyce beamed and hurriedly started clapping for her.
Steven smiled brightly from his seat, and Stephanie mirrored his smile. They were both genuinely happy.
Returning to her seat, each of them carried a child in their arms. They couldn't help but experience a sense of pride only parents felt.
"Your dad and I are both first-time parents, and we kind of became parents unexpectedly. Let's help each other grow together as a family moving forward," Stephanie whispered to Ashton and Xan.
The children exchanged glances before smiling. "It's our first time becoming children to others too."
"What's the most important principle as children?" Steven asked with raised brows.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"We can't make Mom angry, we have to obey Mom, and we need to tell Mom that she's the prettiest every day," Ashton and Xan recited in smiles.
Steven held onto Stephanie's hand with a smile. "The one family rule we have is this-what my wife says, goes." Stephanie tilted her chin and laughed proudly. "Good one!"
She could only hope for their family to continue living happily.
The principal, Wallace Graham, was looking at a school report on his computer in the principal's office. He screenshotted the report and sent it to someone.
Wiping his sweat away, he carefully typed, "This is Ashton Lincoln's school report. Although he has reeled in his abilities, it's evident that he's a genius."
The other person replied, "Very well. Keep observing and nurturing him slowly. Get him to leave Hurma and let Melovia's top university scout him."
They wanted to get Ashton out of the country.
It was evident that the other regional branches of Genome Society had their eyes on Ashton now.
