Chapter 1619Edwin was selecting a suitable kindergarten for Tail and had shortlisted several private kindergartens. Hearing this, he closed the file in his hand and showed a meaningful sneer. "Do you think that she has really gone crazy?"Unsure, the prison guard shook his head. "I observed her for some time and also arranged for several female prisoners to watch her. Judging from her behavior, she seems to have really gone crazy."Edwin raised his eyebrows. "Deal with her as the rules require.""According to the current rules, if she has a mental problem, she can't stay in prison and will be transferred to a mental hospital.""Go ahead." Edwin hung up and toyed with his customized phone. Then he gave a call to the director of a hospital run by his family. "Prepare some medicines for me."Hearing the names of the medicines asked by Edwin, the director was shocked and answered in a quivering voice, "Mr. Atherton, those medicines are all forbidden drugs...""They won't be used fo
Chapter 1620The parental test not only measured parents' finances, but also examined their relationship with their kids.A kid could only be admitted if she was recommended and if her parents passed the test.The requirements were all but as rigorous as those in selecting and training stars..."Look! We need to attach a short video to show that we and our kid get along well when submitting the registration form." Joanne became puzzled.Edwin gave a light cough. "The kindergarten has a reason to require it. Think about this. If a kid lives in an unharmonious family and behaves abnormally, won't such a kid affect other kids after entering school?"Joanne took a glance at the deadline for the registration form, which was only two days away.'But now Tail and Edwin are not close...'How can we have a video in which Tail and Edwin get along well?' Joanne was brooding.Having read her mind, Edwin raised his eyebrows and squeezed her cute nose. "I'll arrange for a professional photo
Chapter 1621The sky was clear, and Tail cheerfully hopped into the car like a little bird. Her ponytails inadvertently brushed against Edwin's face, which tickled him. "Do you know what we're going to do today?""Yeah. We're going to take beautiful videos," Tail replied, making a scissors gesture with her hand. She looked around for the camera, not the least bit shy.His daughter was so adorable."Then you know you should cooperate with the cameraman, and don't cry, okay?"Tail folded her arms on her chest and held her head high like Miles did. She snorted, "I was not born yesterday. I won't cry!"Edwin couldn't help but smile at her bravado, considering how much she had cried that morning. Still, he nodded and played along. "You weren't. You're a big girl who can sleep and get dressed on your own."Tail curled her tender lips. "That's for sure.""Okay, let's get going," Joanne said, pleased with how well the father and daughter were getting along. Although Tail still didn't l
Chapter 1622Tail wiggled her bottom and said reluctantly, "Okay...""This is a taxidermy cheetah," Edwin explained off-the-cuff, not even needing to glance at the label. "It's the undisputed sprint king of the animal kingdom. An adult cheetah can reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour in just a few seconds, with acceleration comparable to that of an ordinary sports car."Tail had no concept of what 100 kilometers per hour meant. Her eyes opened wide and were filled with confusion."For example," Edwin continued, "from home to the museum, an adult cheetah could make two round trips in just an hour."Two round trips...That was a long distance! Tail's eyes lit up at once."It runs so fast."Edwin went on to explain, "But it also has a fatal weakness: its stamina is limited. Although it can sprint very fast, its speed will naturally slow down over time. That's why every time a cheetah goes hunting, it tries to get to its prey as close as possible."Tail nodded in understanding.
Chapter 1623"She won't fall for your trick. Come on, sweetheart. Let's walk around over there."Tail thought for a moment and remembered that the photographer seemed to be still following them. So, she grabbed Edwin's rough hand and blinked her watery eyes. "You have to keep your promise, Daddy."Joanne was stunned.When Edwin brought so many delicacies to the ward, Tail hadn't given in.But today, she called Edwin Daddy just for a lollipop.Edwin's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't believe his ears.Tail called him Daddy? Did she really do that?"What did you just call me? Come again!" he said, his voice trembling with excitement.Tail repeated seriously despite her reluctance, "Daddy.""You're so sweet!" Edwin exclaimed, picking up the girl and lifting her high. He put his face close to hers. "I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time. Come on, give Daddy a kiss."Tail hesitated. "No. Your beard is prickly.""Then can I kiss you?" Edwin couldn't contain his e
Chapter 1624Edwin received the admission interview materials for St. Pierre Kindergarten.The entrance examination for the children was relatively simple, consisting of basic questions with no fixed answers. Extra points were even awarded for special skills. But for the parents, it was a different story. Joanne held a thick stack of question collections, thicker than any script she had ever seen. Raising a child nowadays was no easy feat.When mothers were pregnant, parents had to worry about the cost of formula. After the children were born, they had to worry about choosing the right school.After the children were enrolled, the parents had to worry about their performance and school bullying. When the children grew up, the parents had to worry about their prospects and relationships. "These are entrance examination questions for parents from previous years. I got them from Ced. The school will probably select a few at random to ask us, so as long as we mesmerize the an
Chapter 1625"Can't you take this more seriously? This is Tail's entrance exam! If she passes the interview but doesn't get into St. Pierre because we're holding her back, won't you feel guilty then?"Edwin's hands fiddled with her pajamas, and he leaned over to her once again."The more nervous you are, the worse it gets. Look at you, your face is flushed, and you can't even speak properly. I'm helping you balance work and rest. According to expert research, proper exercise promotes an active cerebellum and improves memory."Joanne blurted out, "Which expert said that?""Me," Edwin replied straightforwardly."Go away." Joanne realized she'd been tricked by him. She grabbed the paper, shoved it into his hand, and said seriously, "You should get down to business. If you can't answer the interviewer's questions on the day, I'll announce that your plan to please Tail has failed.""I've already memorized everything." Edwin propped himself up and spoke with a hint of narcissism."Ho
Chapter 1626Joanne didn't have time to think about the door lock. She ran over to pick up Tail.Sure enough, Tail had a nightmare. Her forehead was covered with sweat...Joanne hurriedly wiped Tail's face clean and changed her into thicker pajamas."Don't be afraid. I'm here. Any demons and devils go away.""Boohoo..." Tail blinked her big watery eyes and then glared at Edwin. "Why did you just lie above my mama? You are so heavy. Did you hurt my mama?""There was an annoying fly on my face just now, and your daddy was helping me get rid of it," Joanne hastily explained to her daughter.Joanne felt so embarrassed.She couldn't believe her daughter had seen such an image...But on second thought, fortunately, Joanne had not taken off her clothes or done anything else with Edwin. Otherwise, the innocent Tail would be shocked.Edwin was the most depressed one, but facing his daughter's naive expression, he echoed, "Yes. I was helping Joanne get rid of the damn fly. Tail, let me
