Chapter 1078 My Mom Likes It Too
Alivia never expected that Romy would suddenly bring up the topic of going to school. After just starting her
sophomore year, she chose to take a break and work, and now over a year has passed. During this long period,
besides Romy's strong opposition at the beginning, Alivia hadn't heard her mention it again. Alivia always thought
that Romy's illness had consumed all her thoughts and she had no energy to consider anything else. But now she
realized that Romy had never forgotten; Romy was just waiting for her condition to recover.
"Mom..." Alivia tightened her grip on the lunchbox she was carrying, afraid that her mother would overthink
something, so she comforted her mom, "I'm fine."
"I know you're strong-willed, but Alivia, education is essential, and you can't just tough it out. Mom couldn't give you
a good start, and for you and Henry, the most important thing is the academic qualification. You worked hard to get
accepted, and I won't let you give up halfway."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Alivia still wanted to say something, Romy quickly added, "I will make the decision on this matter. When
I am discharged from the hospital, you should go to school."
Words that had been suppressed in her heart for so long were now brought up, and Alivia felt a tinge of sadness. No
one didn't long for an education, especially someone like her who knew the importance of studying more than
anyone else.
But life was difficult, and she didn't even have that right.
Looking at Romy's gradually improving complexion, she couldn't help but feel grateful. If it weren't for the medical
expenses provided by Bert several months ago, Romy's surgery might not have been possible, and Alivia didn't
know how long she would have to endure.
Alivia shifted her gaze away and let out a deep sigh. Regardless of everything, her life had undergone so many
positive changes, and no matter who that man was or what attitude he had, he was someone she needed to be
thankful for.
Since staying in Jewel City, Bert had spent most of his time with Lucas. He didn't have much work to do, and many
capitalists knew about his return to the country but were all privately turned down by him.
Whenever he had time, Bert immediately had Grace bring Lucas out for leisure and entertainment, and he
accompanied Lucas attentively. Even Louis, who had worked for him for nearly ten years, couldn't help but be
shocked.
Was this the same workaholic Bert who used to work eighteen hours a day without a break? He was practically a
model parent now!
On Friday evening, just as they had planned, Bert treated Lucas to the hotpot restaurant that Lucas had always
wanted to try. Hotpot is known for its spiciness, which presented quite a challenge for Lucas.
However, since Lucas liked it, he could only accompany the little boy.
Bert asked Louis to make an appointment with the highest-quality restaurant in Jewel City, which was on the eighth
floor of a five-star hotel. They booked a private room, and it was not too noisy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas ordered a dual-flavored hotpot with butter and mushroom broth, and he also ordered top-grade 5A beef and
premium lamb, along with various vegetables and meatballs as accompaniments. Most importantly, he requested
duck intestines, pig brains, boneless chicken feet, honeycomb tripe, and so on.
After the food was served, except for the beef, Bert hardly touched anything else. He looked at the various
intestines and the bloody pig brains and couldn't muster much appetite.
Lucas enjoyed his meal very much and couldn't help but eat more from the spicy broth, making his mouth turn red,
"Mr. Harper, why aren't you eating?"
"I am eating."
"I'm talking about these," Lucas pointed at the offal in front of him, "Aren't you scared?"
Bert nonchalantly sneered, "I just don't like them."
"Mr. Harper, how do you know you don't like them if you haven't even tried?" Lucas said and used the forks for
hotpot to pick up some duck intestines and put them in Bert's bowl, "These are crispy and delicious. Mom and I both
love them. Give them a try!"
Bert was about to refuse, but when he heard Lucas mention "Mom", he paused. It had been a long time since he
had seen her, and at this moment, he felt a sense of realization.
