Chapter 3426
“I treat them all the same,” Hugh insisted, believing he didn’t treat Simone any differently. He could see her every move since she was sitting right in front of him, and he was aware that she didn’t eat much.
Simone noticed everything Hugh did, which made it natural for her to care about him.
After all, they had been friends for many years.
Hugh had witnessed Simone go through two or three boyfriends, and each breakup seemed to stem from minor issues that escalated into conflicts, ultimately leading to a split.
When Simone was in a relationship, Hugh refrained from asking her out to avoid misunderstandings with her boyfriend.
Although Hugh was discreet, Simone’s ex-boyfriends often appeared dark-faced when they encountered him, seemingly blaming him for their breakups.
“Mr. Queen, you’re no longer a child. If you meet a good girl, you should settle down. Don’t be so cynical and make your sister worry,” Manager Dumont advised.
Manager Dumont, a middle-aged man with a wife and children, spoke to Hugh like a concerned elder.
Hugh smiled in response. “I just haven’t found someone I want to settle down with yet. I plan to spend my whole life with my wife, so I need to choose carefully. Manager Dumont, how is your relationship with your wife? Has it changed much since you started dating and got married?”
Manager Dumont replied, “They say marriage is the grave of love. Many couples enjoy a good relationship while dating, but after marriage, they often have minor arguments every three days and major ones every five.”
Hugh stated, “I don’t like quarrels.”
His parents have a strong relationship, and he admires that.
a few selected classes rather than overwhelming them with numerous extracurricular activities. My sister’s fiancé, Kevin, is a wonderful man who truly cherishes her, and the York family men are known for their affection towards their wives. It seems likely that my sister will enjoy a joyful married life ahead.
Manager Dumont noted, “When you fall in love and eventually marry, changes are inevitable. After marriage, as you begin to live your life together, disagreements may arise. It’s important to understand each other better during this time. My wife and I often have differing views, particularly regarding how to raise our children. Outside of that topic, we feel as close as we did in the early days of our relationship. However, discussions about parenting can quickly lead to disagreements.
My wife tends to enroll our children in too many extracurricular activities and cram schools, leaving them with no time to relax during the holidays. They are still young, and their childhood should be filled with joy rather than an endless cycle of classes. When they grow older, they might look back and realize their childhood wasn’t as enjoyable as it should have been.
We have two children; one is eight years old and the other is six and a half. The older child is in the second grade, while the younger one is in the first. Do you think they really need to attend multiple cram schools?
Moreover, the costs for tuition and extracurricular activities can add up quickly. Although our income in Jensburg is decent, we find ourselves spending all our money each month. We have a mortgage and car loan to manage, along with supporting our family, and my wife insists on signing the children up for numerous classes. By the end of the month, we hardly have any money left.
Manager Dumont expressed his frustration, adding, “Fortunately, both of our parents receive pensions, which alleviates some financial pressure. Otherwise, the burden would be even greater.
As a result of these issues, we often find ourselves arguing. I believe it would be wiser to limit the number of classes we enroll our children in.”
an engaging class, and there is no need to enroll them in tutoring centers. My two children’s grades are above average, so there is really no reason to be overly competitive. At the very least, give the children a chance to relax.” Manager Dumont responded with a smile, “Mr. Queen, please don’t worry about this.” Their discussions were centered around finances. Hugh was the heir of the Queen family. Queen Enterprise is one of the largest companies in Jensburg, with vast assets, so there was no need to stress over money. After a brief pause, Hugh stated, “I’ll ask my sister to give you all a raise.” Ordinary people face significant pressure living in large cities. … On the other side of the Farrell family mansion,
