Chapter 1385 Too Slow
"Have you been studying these few days?"
"Of course," North replied.
"Our teacher is too slow," Carter piped up.
"Slow? What do you mean? Does she talk too slowly?" Olivia asked in confusion.
Hearing that, Blake couldn't help but complain, "He takes too long to give us the
questions."
"He's wasting our school fees," Terry chimed in.
Olivia exchanged an amused look with Eugene. "He's just worried that you might not
understand. You shouldn't badmouth him like that."
"I have a reason to be doubtful," Terry retorted.
"Which part of the book I bought for you have you studied now?" Eugene asked.
"We finished it," Carter replied.
"You're done with the entire book?" Eugene asked in surprise.
Blake shook his head. "Not one book."
Eugene let out a sigh of relief at his words. That's what I thought. If they've finished an

However, Blake continued, "It's four books."
Taken aback, Eugene asked in a disbelieving tone, "You're done with four books?"
"We're almost done with the fifth as well," Terry added nonchalantly.
Hearing that, Olivia couldn't help but ask, "Why are you complaining about him being too
slow when you've finished five books in a few days?"
"He doesn't teach. He only gives us a few questions every day during class, and when we
answer them, he looks for more difficult ones in the books, and now he's on his fifth book,"
North said disdainfully.
Carter scoffed solemnly. "Our teacher probably has to get a new book tomorrow."
"Terry is right. Not only is that teacher wasting our time, but he's also wasting our school
fees too," Blake agreed.
Hearing that, Olivia and Eugene fell silent.
"Go and show us the books you've finished."
As Terry was seated on the outermost part of the bed, he immediately got to his feet and
left, followed by Carter. Soon, the two children returned, each with three books in their
arms. The books were practically brand new, but as Eugene flipped through the pages, he
found that every book was filled with answers, all of which were correct.
Suddenly, he was at a loss for words. He was well aware of their intelligence, which was
why he had bought them textbooks from the first to third grade, and he even thought to
himself that if they were able to complete their curriculum up to third grade before Blake's
illness was cured, he would be more than satisfied.
However, the current situation was completely different from his expectations. If they
managed to finish five books, did it mean that third-grade questions were too easy for
them? In that case, which grade had their academic capabilities reached?
Similarly, Olivia was just as surprised. She knew that North had no problems with third-
grade level questions, but now it seemed that she had underestimated him and the
Rogers siblings, who were a year younger than him. They were all too intelligent, so she
couldn't think of them in the same way as normal children.
While Eugene checked their mathematics, she looked at their language. In the end, she
quizzed them on a few poems, only for them to answer every question accurately.
A mixture of surprise, joy, and pride crossed Olivia's face, and in the end, she smiled and

North laughed. "Not really. It's just that whenever we can answer his questions, he'll start
wiping the sweat off his forehead!"
"He wipes his sweat when he's looking for new questions too," Blake added.
Eugene, who was just as amused, reached out and rubbed their heads as he claimed
smugly, "I guess I have to buy more books for you kids tomorrow."
The four children exchanged glances before letting out a laugh.
"Daddy, Mommy, we want to see your marriage papers too," North said.
Back then, Hector and Ellen had been hogging the papers, leaving them with no chance to
take a look for themselves.
Hearing that, Olivia brought out their marriage papers and handed them to the children.
Then, she watched as their small heads huddled together.
"Mommy really is pretty," North commented sincerely.
Carter's eyes were filled with a smile. "Mommy's smile is so sweet."
Blake pouted his lips and pressed a kiss on the papers. "This is our daddy and mommy,
our real parents."
On the contrary, Terry had his head turned toward Olivia's stomach. "And our younger
sister."
