My Billionaire Husband

Charles suddenly said, "If you appreciate me that much, I will let my future child study here under your guidance, but you must give him more love and resources than to the others, or else I will blame you if he doesn't turn out to be successful in life."

"Successful? He'll be a giant! She laughed out loud. "But do you have a child?" She looked in surprise at Sarah, "Are you saying that… you are pregnant, Right?"

Sarah hurried to shake her hands and said, "No, don't listen to him. We don't have a child yet, and I am not pregnant. Don't listen to him!"

Charles quickly added. "We'll have one next year!"

Sarah poked him to stop him from talking.

Looking at their interaction, Charles's aunt laughed out and winked at him. "Your wife isn't even pregnant yet. You need to work harder!"

Charles grinned, "Don't worry. Next time we will have it if I work hard every night."

Sarah didn't expect him to talk like that in front of an older lady and couldn't help but blush. His aunt laughed again.

Charles's aunt gave them a complete tour guide through the school. Sarah was impressed and thought that it was easily the best kindergarten school in Houston. Including the layout, facilities, and even the environment was great. There was probably a high tuition fee for parents to enroll their children here.

While thinking, Sarah listened to their conversation. "We charge ten thousand dollars for one year's admission, so generally speaking, only high-class families can afford to send their children here." Charles's aunt was explaining.

Ten thousand dollars? That was more than Sarah had expected. That was near twice her salary. As a secretary, her salary had been just below fifty thousand dollars per year, which would have made it impossible for her to pay such high tuition fees. Would kids really learn the real value of money in this kind of environment, or would they grow up to be spoiled and thinking that they deserved everything without having to work for anything?

Sarah listened as the older lady continued. "The money is mainly used for educating and guiding the children, not for enjoying. Students who come here cannot expect to be treated like a little lord as they are used to at home. We try our best to lead them to become independent and develop their own intelligence, equipped with skills and knowledge on how to apply what they have learned in their life. Most of the funds are used for educating and inspiring children's potential."

After pausing for a while, she continued. "As you know, many wealthy people are too busy to take good care of their children, and often leave them to be brought up by a nanny or babysitter, or others may ask the grandparents to come to help with their children. But the older generation's concept of raising children is outdated compared to modern educational methods and today's needs. What's more, grandparents tend to spoil their grandchildren too much, so how can they teach them proper behavior? The kids that come here to study receive a well-rounded education. After all, we have a great professional team that absorbs the quintessence of both traditional and modern education, which is why we can promise a good outcome."

Sarah finally nodded in agreement. Charles's aunt was an insightful woman regarding education, who seemed to have a well informed and educated look into the future of teaching the next generation. 

"I couldn't agree more with your method of education." Charles joined the conversation. "Without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today."

She laughed sweetly at his compliment. "You are so sweet now. I will become too proud of myself if you praise me like this!"

"You have all the right to be proud," Charles laughed. "You really are doing a great job! Anyway, I will bring my future child here for you to teach him. I trust you to raise him the same way you used with me."

"Doesn't your wife have a say in it?" She looked at Sarah.

Sarah had been listening quietly to their conversations. Hearing her name, she shook her hands in a hurry and said, "I'm okay, it depends on Charles. If your method is better, I will agree. But I will be there with my child every step of the way. Children need their parents' love just as much as they need a good education."

The aunt nodded and said to Charles, "You have a good wife, and she will be a good mother. She is right. You also can't ignore your children just because you are busy in the future. Otherwise, you are setting them the wrong example!"

Charles shrugged his shoulder and replied, "Of course. But I am not worried at all if you take care of my baby. Plus, he'll have a good mother. You see, I turned out good even though my parents didn't take care of me. I got good grades and studied in the best schools. And I believe my child can do the same. If he goes astray, I'll give him a lesson!"

Sarah frowned. "I don't agree with you on this subject. A child needs their father's love. You see, there are many children of single parents… " said Sarah, suddenly.

"Single parents? I'm still here!" Charles turned around and interrupted her.

"I didn't mean that. All I want to say is that as a father, if you don't take care of your child, is it any different from growing up with a single parent?"

"You are overthinking it! There is a big difference between them. They are totally different!"

Sarah suddenly got angry. She looked at him and frowned again. "Does that me you have no intention of taking care of your children in the future, right?"

"No, I didn't mean that. But if I'm too busy to take care of them, I still won't worry about it because you and my aunt will be there to take care of them. Is it the best educational method of a kind mother and a strict father? Besides, I am a man. Surely, I need to set a stronger image of a father who is focused on business for my children so that I can guide them to form a special character!"
