After parking the car, Rhea changed out of her flats into high heels. Shetook her bag and got out of the car.
"Mom."
Dean hugged her. “I missed you, Mom.”
They would only meet each other every morning and night. During theday, Rhea would not be home for lunch as she was busy with work. Herin-laws or housekeepers would take care of Dean.
Although Dean was a sensible child, he was unhappy. He felt like hehad lost his mother alongside his father because she had not beenspending much time with him.
Even during weekends when he did not have to go to school, shewould still work. It was either eating or golfing with her clients orattending various banquets.
Rhea’s heart ached. She hugged her son back.
Her nine-year-old son had the body of a seven-year-old.
She always thought Dean's slim figure was a result of her disregard forhim because she was preoccupied with her business.
Unlike Liberty, Rhea did not have a kind sister who would look afterDean for her. Liberty could exert herself fully in her career because shehad Serenity backing her up.
On the contrary, Rhea could never rely on her family. They had beencoveting the Torres family’s assets ever since her husband passedaway and she took over the business.
They kept scheming to set her and her in-laws up.
Although they were well-off, they were greedy.novelbin
As expected, fights and conflicts would always break out amongwealthy families.
The York family was an exception. That was because Old Mrs. Yorkwas good at managing her family and nurturing her grandsons. Sheeven hand-picked her sons and grandsons’ wives. The first trait shealways looked for was good character.
Therefore, every man in the York family was able to marry a good wife.The heavens seemed to favor the Yorks as well. Their wives were notonly virtuous but also gorgeous.
The old lady had outstanding daughters-in-law and grandsons.
Every young lad of the Yorks was good-looking.
Rhea thought, “I'm not as lucky as Liberty and Serenity. If I could marryinto the York family... But Old Mrs. York wouldn't have picked meanyway. My family has too many infightings.’
“I'm home, Dean.”
Rhea released her son and held his hand as they walked into thehouse.
She asked in a gentle voice, “Have you finished your homework?"“Yes. I also finished the ones assigned by the tutor.”
Dean's academic results were mediocre at best. Rhea had spent a lotof money to enroll him into the best elementary school in Wiltspoon, buthis grades remained mediocre. He was facing a great deal of stress atschool.
His scores were always one of the lowest in class during every test.
To improve Dean's grades, Rhea spent more money and hired a fewfamous tutors to conduct one-on-one sessions. Indeed, there was animprovement. Although Dean was still not a top scorer in his class, hewas not the last anymore.
Rhea had given birth to Dean a year after marrying Mr. Torres. Hepassed away when Dean was two.
Therefore, she only had one son.
Although the Torres family was successful, Mr. Torres and Dean wereboth the only sons of their families. Naturally, the Torres family’s assetswould be inherited by Dean in the future.
If Dean were not capable enough, he would not be able to maintain thefamily business.
Rhea may not have had the time to be with her son, but she paid a lotof attention to his studies.
