Georgia fell silent for a while, and turned to the two kids.
“All full marks. Your Daddy really is excellent, and we don’t know if you two inherited his IQ, either. When that tutor comes over to teach you, how about if Daddy comes to be your proctor?”
At that, Annie and Wesley looked admiringly at Robert.
“You’re so awesome, Daddy. When Wesley and I do exams, you have to proctor us. That’s fair.”
“You’re great, Daddy, you can just teach me and Annie the textbooks. Why do you have to hire a teacher?”
Wesley asked dubiously.
“Because Daddy has a lot of things to do, and might not be free to teach you every day. Can you forgive me, Annie, Wesley? If I have time, I’ll try to teach you a bit.”
Robert made that promise, and the kids cheered, tugging at Robert’s hand, wanting their Daddy to go play some educational games with them in the playroom.
The kids hadn’t passed those yet.
After Robert played around with the kids for about half an hour, they went outside to play around again.
This time they didn’t need adult supervision.
The siblings went outside and played tag.
Georgia and Robert sat in the living room. Georgia didn’t speak, looking at Robert strangely.
Robert was stared at for too long and couldn’t help but ask.
“What are you staring at me for? Dazzled by my charm?”
Georgia burst into laughter.
“I was just wondering why you went for finance if you were such an excellent student. What did you want to grow up to be?”
At that, Robert sat over and held Georgia’s hand.
With his wife’s hand in his own, his tone turned nostalgic.
“I looked at my diary when I was young and in middle school. When I was little I wanted to be an astronaut. I knew that people couldn’t fly back then, so only by being astronaut could I soar around in space.”
“You were so excellent all from when you were young, then got full marks all along. Did you choose finance because you had to take over the family business?”
“Before my father got divorced, the dreams on my diary were all about working hard to become an astronaut and raising my sister to take over the family. Back then, my grades should have been about the same as Rick. I seemed to have gotten full marks all along, but ever since my father got divorced, the contents of my diary changed. From that time forward I was learning all about how to run businesses.
“There were a lot of people targeting the Simpsons, and only if I grew up and took on everything could I really inherit the family. Maybe because of that, I didn’t go to college according to my dreams when I was young.”
Georgia felt a bit heartbroken.
The man before her was so smart and had his own dreams, but for his family, he was forced to abandon what he really loved.
“The SY Group is working with an overseas company on a project. So long as you go through training, you can go to space on vacation. There’s a free slot or two every year, and if your dream is still a thing, I can get that slot.”
At Georgia, words, Robert hugged Mrs. Simpson tightly to him.
“If I really did go to space, we’ll go together. When the time is right, we’ll have the two of us a space holiday.”
Georgia smiled and agreed to it.
It took almost half a billion to get a spot to space, but neither of them lacked money.
The most important thing to Georgia was fulfilling Mr. Simpson’s wish.
But now, just thinking about Robert’s unknown body condition, Georgia felt like they couldn’t even pass physical inspection with that slot in hand.
That was the sorrowful part, but Georgia didn’t show it.
In the morning, she stayed with Robert and played around in the house with the kids.
At noon, Aston and his parents came to them as guests.
This was a time the two families had designated, but Aston coming wasn’t part of the original plan.
Georgia had only invited Aston’s parents, so seeing Aston outside, she found it a bit strange.
She still smiled and invited the three guests inside to sit.
They were relatives now.
It was normal for relatives to stop by for a meal.
Georgia had the two kids greet Aston’s parents, her aunt and uncle.
So the kids naturally called them great-aunt and great-uncle.
As for Aston, eh was their uncle too, obviously.
