Chapter 143 Genetics
Hanson knew that he had sprung this on Vania far too suddenly.
Since she wanted them to get to know each other, then he was willing to put in the effort.
Hanson downed the cup of honey lemon tea that was left on the coffee table. He had a plan, and he knew what he was going to do.
…
On the way home, Vania made sure to shed all signs of her foul mood, and by the time she reached the house, she was back to her caring, motherly self.
The moment she walked through the door, her babies crowded around her. Jude did not reach out to hug her as the other three did, but he stood right in front of her and fixed his eyes on the woman.
Vania greeted every single one of them, and as she greeted Jude, she asked, “Was everything alright while I was gone?”
It was the first time that the four of them had been left to their own devices.
Jack announced proudly, “Don’t worry, Mommy. We’ve been examining the functions of a telescope together, and Jude figured it out even faster than we did.”
James was full of praises as well. “Jude is very smart. I taught him about the computer, and he’s memorized every single component already. He has the best memory among us.”
“Wow, that’s amazing!” Vania exclaimed in surprise. She smiled brilliantly as she gave Jude a big thumbs-up.
She knew that her oldest son, James, had a very healthy sense of self-confidence, and he rarely showed any admiration for others, not even his own younger brothers. If it was not for the fact that Jude was really better than him at something, James would not be praising him for it.
Vania never would have guessed that this son of hers was also a child genius. She was truly beginning to marvel at the genes that the father of her children had.
Now that she thought about genetics, she asked expectantly, “Jude, do you like to draw?”
The moment she asked this question, the other three children all sighed and helplessly lowered their heads. They were in perfect unison as if they had gotten a lot of practice.
All three of them knew that their Mommy hoped that her own genes had been passed down to them. She placed all of her hopes on them and dreamed that one of her kids would surpass her as a designer.
Unfortunately, while they were incredibly good at drawing, none of them were interested in designing, much to her consternation. Now that Jude had come home to them, their Mommy lit up with hope again. Perhaps he would be the one to fulfill her dreams.
The three rascals stared knowingly at their younger brother, who looked a little lost. Hopefully, he would be able to carry the weight of their Mommy’s designer dreams.
As for Jude, he glanced at his older brothers curiously. For some reason, they looked like deflated balloons and were a little listless, but he had no idea why.
Was it really important to like drawing?
He had never tried drawing before, so he did not know if he would like it or not.
However, he was very interested in all the subjects that his older brothers were teaching him, such as science, astronomy, and technology.
Jude saw the expectant look in Vania’s eyes and thought she would feel upset if he did not know how to draw, so he lowered his gaze in embarrassment and desperately wished that he could dig a hole to bury himself in.
Instantly, Vania realized that she had been too hasty. She sounded apologetic as she told Jude, “You may not know this yet, but I’m a designer. I really like to draw, so that’s why I asked if you liked drawing too. If you do, then I can teach you. If you’d like to give it a try, then I’m always willing to teach you as well.”
Jude looked up again after hearing what she said. He cared a lot about learning new things. James told him all about how amazing their Mommy was, and he knew how gifted his brothers were as well. Because of that, he eagerly wanted to become an outstanding person too.
