Betty held herself back from saying anything for close to half a day. Her mouth opened and closed, but she didn’t
dare to speak.
Under Julian’s encouragement, she finally said, “Mommy, may I…”
Julian thought Betty wanted a lot of money.
In fact, before Betty was done speaking, he took out his black credit card and stuffed it in her hands.
“Don’t spoil her,” Diana said, uncomfortable with letting Betty own a credit card at such a young age. “She has a
seven-figure sum in her e-wallet alone.”
What chances would she, a young girl still in kindergarten, have to spend so much money?
Julian insisted that it was a token of good luck for her, even adding that children had to be inculcated with the
values of wealth management from a young age. Of course, they had to have wealth first before they could learn
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthow to manage it.
Julian always had strange logic and reasoning whenever it came to the children, especially where Betty was
concerned.
Thankfully, Betty didn’t turn out spoiled. Rather, she was becoming increasingly confident, bright and bold.
Diana could see Betty’s growth for herself, and therefore did not stop Julian.
But this time, she wouldn’t agree to a Julian giving Betty a black credit card. “Giving a child so much money will only
invite trouble.”
That was when Julian finally kept the credit card. Feeling like he had let Betty down, Julian asked her, “What reward
do you want then? If you don’t dare to say it out loud, whisper it into my ear and tell me secretly.”
Betty shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t dare to…”
Even after telling Daddy, Mommy ultimately had to approve of it. She would rather just say it directly.
“Mommy!” Betty grabbed Julian’s hand and mustered up the courage to say, “I… I want…”
She looked way too solemn. So solemn, even the tip of her nose started sweating.
Diana and Julian started feeling anxious.
What if Betty asked for a reward that was difficult to accomplish? If they couldn’t get it for her, would that ruin their
image in Betty’s eyes?
As the two of them were immersed in their thoughts, Betty finally said, “I want…to eat a bag of chips.”
In all her life, she had never been allowed to eat chips.
She had never eaten instant noodles, too.
Because Julian had gastric problems, Diana had always paid much attention to the twins’ health. She was worried
that they might cultivate bad eating habits, which might result in a bad foundation for them.
She was considered lax regarding other matters, but she exercised strict control over their diet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBetty’s request stunned Julian. “You just want a bag of chips as your reward after doing well in kindergarten for
three consecutive days?”
If Betty had been disobedient, she could’ve bought some chips in secret and eaten them without anyone knowing.
Yet, she asked for it as her reward. She even requested Mommy for approval.
Diana was so touched, she waved her hand and said, “Of course! Not only that, I’ll reward you with two bags!”
“Yay!” Betty danced with joy, her cheerful countenance recovering. She was no longer worried and anxious.
She gave Diana a huge hug and planted kisses all over Diana’s face, which was soon covered with her saliva.
That night, Julian had to wipe Diana’s face clean.
Come to think of it, he was truly of the lowest position in the family.
The memory of these amusing happenings made Julian chuckle.
However, Betty couldn’t bear to eat the chips even after buying them.
Now that Betty refused to let him in and was giggling so happily in her room, Julian guessed that she was finally
enjoying them for the first time.
For all he knew, she might very well be eating the chips, licking the crumbs off her fingers and hugging her pudgy
feet while watching the television.
