When they entered, they saw Stanley holding a trophy with unabashed pride on his face, "Good job. Keep working hard!"
"I will, Dad." After receiving the compliment, Calvin nodded.
Violet held his small face in both hands and rubbed it, "Calvin, when did you go to the math competition? You didn't you tell me even if you won the trophy?"
Calvin replied, "Aren't I trying to surprise Mom and Dad?"
"I'm very surprised." Stanley raised the trophy in his hand with a smile on his face.
To be honest, the moment he saw the little guy take out the trophy, he really felt very proud.
Violet also let go of Calvin's face, "You are really good at keeping the secret!"
Calvin smiled.
When Arya saw Mommy smile, she also smiled.
Ivy, who was not far away, was extremely dissatisfied when looking at the happy faces of this family of four.
Especially the pride on Stanley's face made her mad.
She didn't know what he was proud of. The kid just won a shit trophy! Besides, that kid was not his biological son!
Although she thought so, she didn't dare to say that. She took a deep breath to sort her mind, and walked over with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
"We're talking about that my brother won the prize." Arya pointed to the trophy in Stanley's hand, and replied triumphantly, as if the winner was her.
Ivy looked at the trophy, "Well, Miss Hunt, you really know how to teach children."
"Thank you." Violet smiled faintly, "I actually don't know how to teach children very much. I didn't teach them. It's just because they are smart."
She touched the heads of the two children.
Ivy rolled her eyes at Violet inwardly.
Smart?
She didn’t think so!
"Bella!" Stanley put the trophy on the coffee table in front of him.
Bella came out of the kitchen with a few glasses of juice, "Mr. Murphy, what's the matter?"
"Clean up another room in a while and make it a showroom to place trophies and medals for Calvin and Arya." Stanley said, while handing the trophy to Bella.
Violet frowned, "It's not necessary."
Ivy also felt that he made a fuss.
The kid just won a trophy by accident! But Stanley actually wanted to make a showroom for him.
Wouldn't it be so embarrassed if that kid didn't get a trophy again?
Stanley didn't know what Ivy was thinking. Looking at Calvin, he replied, "Of course it is necessary. I believe this trophy will not be the last."
"I also believe in Calvin." Bella took the trophy happily, "Well, I will clean up in a while. Calvin, you’re so great!"
Calvin responded with a smile, "Thank you, Bella. Thank you, Dad."
"I expect you to fill up the showroom in the future." Stanley looked at Calvin seriously.
When Calvin faced Stanley’s eyes, he became serious and then nodded, "Dad, I won't let you down."
Stanley turned his gaze away with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Violet couldn't say anything anymore. She smiled.
Since Stanley believed in his son so much and his son would not let him down, what else would she worry about?
Ivy said at this moment, "You are Calvin, right? You're amazing. So young..."
Calvin looked up at Ivy and interrupted her, "Miss Ellis, are you forgetful?"
"Calvin, what are you talking about?" Violet pursed her lips and said.
Stanley also raised his eyebrows, wondering why the little guy said Ivy was forgetful.
