Chapter 46 Was His Mother Short Of Money?

• After school, Aiden went to his mother’s room and greeted her with a smile. His mother smiled back at him and said, “How was your day, my favourite son?” Aiden smiled and replied, “We didn’t do much because it was the Mathematics Olympiad Competition today. Our school has been in second place for a long time but this time we took first spot. Mom, guess who won?” His mother indicated that she didn’t care, since her favourite son wasn’t a competitor.
• Aiden changed the topic and said, “Mommy, would you be so kind as to buy me the Galaxy Star Projector? I haven’t seen it yet but my friends told me that you can see the stars on your ceiling.” His mother ruffled his hair and replied, “Why don’t you ask your father to buy it for you?” Aiden hid his sadness in his eyes and said, “I will do so, Mommy.” Was his mother short of money?
• When Avery and her father arrived home, Aiden was in the living room with his mother watching cartoons. Avery approached him slowly and said, “Big brother, our school won the Mathematics Olympiad Competition.” Aiden looked at her and replied annoyingly, “Avery, I told you several times that I am no longer your brother, please don’t ever show your face in front of me.” His mother smiled and looked at her husband who was standing behind Avery provocatively.
