Chapter 793 It was Stephanie's first tattending a parent-teacher conference in Fullerton International Elementary School as a parent. She found herself feeling somewhat nervous.
Steven looked at her and chuckled. "Are you nervous?" Stephanie stubbornly replied, "Who? Me? I'm not at all nervous!" Steven held her hand tight and said, "I'm a little nervous." "Why are you nervous?" Stephanie coughed awkwardly before saying, "Alright, stop being nervous now. It's tfor parents to enter." She pulled Steven along and entered the school somewhat stiffly. It was her first tbeing a mother, after all. "Isn't it enough for just one parent to attend most parent-teacher conferences? This school is really something else," Stephanie muttered under her breath.
"They said it's to promote family harmony," Steven whispered in reply as well.
"Oh, are you parents here for the parent-teacher conference as well? You're both so young!" an enthusiastic parent cto greet them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSteven and Stephanie smiled stiffly and nodded, looking beyond natural.
The parent asked, "Which class is your child in?" "Oh, this school is really expensive! A semester alone costs 20 grand, and that doesn't even cover the living costs and miscellaneous fees." This was an elite private school that catered to high-end families. Those who could afford it were all wealthy people from Huma who wanted to give their children a head start in life.
Stephanie thought that both Ashton and Xan already had a head start in life. They could have just attended a normal school, yet that good-for-nothing, Michael, just had to send them here.
It was impossible to get them to transfer out now that they had both made friends here.
"Our children..." Stephanie paused and tried to recall the class Ashton and Xan were in.
"They're in Class Alpha," Steven softly reminded.
Stephanie laughed awkwardly and continued, "Right! They're in Class Alpha." The other parents shot them envious glances. "Class Alpha huh? Not only do your children excel in studies, but you guys must be loaded as well-paying hundreds of thousands per year!" Stephanie's smile wasn't quite genuine. She didn't expect Michael to willingly spend so much on the kids. He used to be so stingy when it cto the "Stephanie" who lost her memories, yet he was quite generous now. "Well, we'll have to work hard since our children excel in their studies," she replied in a perfunctory manner. Beads of sweat were forming on her forehead as they were surrounded by a group of parents.
Steven continued to watch Stephanie while smiling indulgently.
He found her truly different now. The old Stephanie wouldn't have bothered with events like this. She certainly wouldn't have done things she disliked and feigned civility just to engage in small talk for the kids' sake.
"Is this socialization training for the kids or for us?" she grumbled softly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSteven tightened his hold on her hand and said indulgently, "Our entire family needs to socialize so that we can be a part of society." Taken aback, Stephanie looked up at him. His eyes seemed to sparkle under the sunlight.
Once again, she saw the universe contained within the depths of M Steven's eyes It felt like their lives were filled with new hope.
The old Stephanie had felt out of place and always wanted to escape from this society. She hated it and was unable to see any beauty in it at all. But now, she wanted to be a part of it be it for family, love, or friendship.
Humans were social creatures. Even if society wasn't perfect and om darkness existed within, they had to strive to fit in. Perhaps only by truly fitting in could they discover the beauty of it.
