Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Smart Bobby

After returning from Golden Manor Villa District, Baron Lawrence’s face was extremely gloomy.

He walked all the way to the entrance of Bauhinia Garden and only then pursed his lips and opened the door.

Just as he stepped into the Entrance Hall, he heard Bobby’s milky voice, “Woman, I helped my teacher make little red flowers today, and the teacher praised me.”

“Hehe, look at my daily report.” He handed Enna the report book that recorded his performance at kindergarten each day while wearing his big slippers.

“Let me see.” Enna set down what she was doing and flipped to today’s page. As expected, the teacher had written about his helpfulness and even stuck two little red flowers in the performance column. Enna closed the notebook and saw that he was trying to look nonchalant even though he clearly wanted praise. She suppressed a laugh, patted his head, and praised him, “My baby is amazing~!”

“It’s just one more little red flower than the others, not that impressive.” He tilted his small chin up slightly, pretending to be unconcerned.

Enna immediately understood, “So everyone else only has one red flower?”

That was exactly what Bobby wanted to say. He pretended to be dissatisfied and accused Enna, “Woman, you don’t even care about me. You don’t even know that good performance in kindergarten gets one red flower, and bad performance gets none!”

Of course, she knew. She pretended not to know just to cater to his desire for praise. Enna grumbled inwardly and feigned surprise on her face, “Good performance gets only one red flower? Then how come you have two today?”

Tobias stood with his feet turned outward, slightly raising his beautiful chin and looking proud, “Of course, it’s because I performed exceptionally well!”

“My baby is so amazing.” Enna pinched his tender little face, smiling, “Keep up the good work next time.”

However, Tobias pouted and commented like a little adult, “I know that the teachers use these red flowers to trick the kids. Those who obey get them, and those who don’t, don’t. That way, we will compare with each other and compete to be the obedient children.”

“…” Isn’t he seeing it too clearly?

If he knew this, why did he still happily accept the red flowers and indirectly ask her for praise?

As if reading her confusion, Tobias’s big eyes blinked intelligently, incredibly clever, “Being an obedient child means being praised and loved by the teacher. If there’s a time when we don’t obey, the teacher would choose to trust the usually obedient child. So why would we disobey? There’s no benefit.”

Enna was exasperated, “Bobby, does everything in your head revolve around benefits? Sometimes, you don’t need to get a benefit from doing something.”

“Of course you need to have benefits before doing something; otherwise, why waste your time and energy?” Tobias was quite stubborn for his age, “With that time and energy, I might as well do something that benefits me.”

This kind of thinking, wouldn’t he grow up to be a purely self-interested person? Enna was thinking about how to give him an example, “What about playing with Rose? Do you only play with her because of some benefits?”

That big-force slug in a princess dress? Tobias thought of the little girl with a round apple face, following him everywhere, calling him brother. He frowned, unwilling to admit, “I’m playing with her because of her dad. Who made you not tell me that my biological father is not a shameless and irresponsible man?”
