Chapter 785

Whether it was classes in pre-kindergarten, listening to Diana telling him stories, or anything else, Sean knew that he always improved faster than Betty. He also considered more things compared to his sister.

In fact, he could memorize a lot of words and their pronunciation after just looking and saying it once.

In contrast, Betty needed to repeat it many times before she could. It was the same for the other children in Sean’s class.

When playing games with them, they were also not as quick as him.

Initially, it was fun when he was always ahead. Gradually, it became boring.

As time passed, he became reluctant to speak.

“If you have a high IQ, perhaps you’ll reach my level one day, ” Julian said. ’I can get you into Oracle Club. It’s a group where highly intelligent people gather, and you’ll have plenty of company at the same level as you.”

Sean was startled. “Are you also in this club?”

“Of course,” Julian replied. “They’re all the same you, always a little ahead of others.”

Sean lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

Just when Julian thought the boy was about to agree, Sean looked upward and studied Julian intently.

And then, the conversation took a different turn.

“You… Tell me a story.”

Julian was startled. “…What kind of story?”

Sean rolled his eyes-he had almost fallen for Julian’s words. He thought the man would really have information on some high IQ club where intelligent people gathered.

It seemed that was just a lie.

A person who didn’t even know that children needed bedtime stories actually tried to convince Sean that he was intelligent?

“Idiot.”

Being called an idiot by a two-year-old kid and not getting an answer to his question, there was nothing Julian could do but repeat his question. “What story would you like to hear?”

What an idiot!

Sean emphasized impatiently, “A bedtime story!”

From the little boy’s tone, Julian could feel his dislike toward him increase. However, there weren’t any storybooks in the manor, and it was too late for Julian to send someone out to buy some.

After thinking for a long time, he finally asked, “Is it okay if I read from my phone to you?”

This made Sean question Julian’s intelligence once again.”

You can’t even memorize something like that?”

Diana could recite many bedtime stories off of her head, yet…

Julian claimed to be intelligent when he couldn’t do the same?

For the first time, Julian felt guilt creep up within him. He couldn’t even look Sean in the eye.

After stammering for a while, Julian finally nodded.

The disdain in Sean’s eyes grew. “Whatever.”

As long as Sean got his bedtime story, he didn’t care how Julian did it.

“Well, let’s hear the story of Jack and the beanstalk,” Julian said as he casually tapped on the top-

ranked story from a bedtime story app that he had quickly downloaded as he walked Sean to the bedroom.

The bedroom was decorated according to the children’s room in CoIlina Villa. Back when Diana had been pregnant, Julian had been preparing it.

But…

Three years passed before it was used.

Julian shoved away the feeling of loss in his chest before handing Betty over to Mrs. Lay, who he had called here temporarily from the villa.

If it wasn’t Mrs. Lay who took care of Betty, he wouldn’t feel at ease.

Sean’s room was painted in a light blue color. The walls were filled with cartoon animations, while the ceiling had a vast universe on it. On the table, there were globes, Transformers, Lego, Ultraman, Peppa Pig, and many other toys.

There was even a slide and a tent in the corner of the room.

It was easily twice the size of the room Sean used to live in.

There were also a lot of other things in it.

It would be great if Diana could also see this room. Sean was sure she would definitely love it.
