Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Dad Needs to Find a Wife First Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Dad Needs to Find a Wife First When William Griffith heard his son say this, he had a bit of a headache!
Over the years, Lewis had been raised by him, and the child was very close to him. Everyday, he was the one to accompany the child to sleep. William felt that he did his duty in caring for his son.
However, certain aspects of education were still beyond his reach.
Lewis had never had a mother growing up, and although he never asked about it, William knew that he longed for a mother and wanted to know where his own mother was.
William Griffith spoiled his son very much, but a child without a mother was always lacking. Just like right now, he didnât know how to educate a son who bought himself an inflatable doll.
This guy actually bought himself an inflatable doll. Did he know what it could be used for?
If he had to blame someone, it would be his parents for spoiling Lewis too much. His own mother even gave her Amazon account to Lewis, allowing him to play and buy whatever he wanted.
He just didnât know what his mother would think if she saw an inflatable doll on her shopping list.
âWhy didnât you go to school today? Miles Griffith, youâre not allowed to skip school anymore!â William changed the subject.
âWhatâs so fun about school? Besides, I already know what the teacher is teaching, so I donât want to go!â
Lewis replied, tugging on the phone cord and pouting his lips.
William held his forehead and sighed on the other end of the phone.
His son had been exceptionally intelligent since he was little, and he didnât know whether to be happy or worried about it.
âWhat did you do at home today? Did you listen to your grandparents?â Feeling that it wouldnât work to be hard on his son, William decided to use a more roundabout approach.
âOf course! Dad, I made grandpa so happy today. But grandpa said that the happiest thing would be if you found a wife first!â
ââ¦â It seemed like his marriage was now the biggest concern for the entire Griffith family!
âI was thinking, since youâve been looking for a wife for so many years and it hasnât happened yet, I decided to buy a doll to be your wife!â
His dad was so picky, who knew what kind of woman he liked?
The doll looked pretty, was as tall as a real person, and having it at home would be fun!
But William was about to lose his mind on this end. He thought that his precious son probably didnât know what inflatable dolls were really forâ¦
âIs it because your classmates are too stupid?â This guy, there must be more complicated reasons than that!
Sure enough, the little guy didnât expect his dad to suddenly ask this question and was caught off guard.
When he thought about what happened at school, Lewisâ mood turned sour!
âWhat happened?â When he didnât hear his sonâs answer, William was somewhat surprised.
How come this kid, who was usually so talkative, wasnât answering now?
âAnyway, I just donât want to go!â
This time, there was a school event, a garden party, where everyoneâs parents were attending. He didnât have a mother, so why would he participate? Should he bring his grandparents instead of his dad and mom?
That would be too ridiculous!
âIf you donât tell me, Iâll call your teacher.â
âHey, come on, Dad, why do you always like to report things to my teacher?â
This was not befitting of your CEO status!
âAre you going to say it or not?â
âFine, fine, Iâll say it. The school is organizing a garden party, and they want both parents to attend. If you can find a wife quickly to be my mom, then Iâll go!â
