Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 576 All Roads Lead to Rome

“You know that’s not true, honey.” Wayne stood up and approached Anna. He took her hand in his and said,” They will always need you, and they will always love you. You can’t say that in front of the kids anymore

Otherwise, they’ll be sad.”

“Dad’s right! Even if I’m 30, I’ll still stick with you, Mom!” Tammy said

Anna hadn’t cried in front of her in a long time, which made Tammy nervous. Tammy remembered that Anna had never cried even when the two of them lived alone

Matthew, who was next to Wayne, thought with a frown. Mom,l actually quite understood your feelings. On the one hand, the hospital has been pressuring you to return to Fleosil to help the patients there and you indeed want to help save the people there. On the other hand, however, you can’t bear to leave us because you’re worried about us and you want to stay with us a while longer

Mom, I know you always feel that you owed us too much, especially Tammy and me. But, to be frank, I don’t blame you for it cause I know you’ve tried your best to be a good mom while balancing your life and your

work. Also, I took over the company at such a young age for various reasons. And one of the major reasons is that I believe that Dad will have enough time to accompany you that way. And in this way, we will have more time to stay together as a family

With that in mind, Matthew said to Tammy, “Why don’t you go to your room, Tammy? I’ll speak with Mom.”

“Really?” Tammy mouthed at him

Matthew nodded. Tammy trusted Matthew, but she was worried that

They both didn’t even notice her. Then Tammy quickly returned to her room and locked the door Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After that, Matthew walked to his parents and sat on the carpet

“Mom, don’t you think that we put a lot of pressure on Tammy?” he said thoughtfully, taking Anna’s hand

“Did we?” Anna looked at her son before turning her head to Wayne, puzzled. Wayne shrugged, seemingly didn’t think it that way either

“We expect too much from her because we’re all too talented. Tammy is the most ordinary member of the family in comparison to the rest of us

That idea got into her subconscious, so I guess she just wanted to be different from us.”

“Did you study psychology, son?” Wayne asked

“Let Matthew finish, okay?” Anna expressed her displeasure to Wayne

“Tammy just has different hobbies from the rest of us. She hates studying and prefers to do things she enjoys, such as playing video games

I watched a few of her live streamings and discovered that she is quite skilled at that. Do you know what her fans say about her? They said she was an excellent player. She’s only been a game streamer for a few months, but she’s already the youngest and most successful game streamer. Isn’t she wonderful? She’s just a beginner, but she’s acting like a pro. If she has professional training, she will be unstoppable.”

“Yes. All of us in our family are very talented!” Wayne exclaimed proudly

“Is she really that good at playing games?” Anna asked with doubt

“Without a doubt. If we prove her abilities to those well-known teams, they will want her to join them.”

“Do you think we should let her do that?”

“We need to respect her opinion. Mom, you said you wanted us to be happy, didn’t you?”

“That’s right. But…”

“She will be unhappy if we force her to study, and she’s only happy when she is playing games. I know Tammy gets thrilled every time she breaks her record, so I encourage her to participate in games and become a

live streamer. Like you, I also want her to be happy.”

Anna bowed her head and considered Matthew’s words carefully

“You always think I’m taking on too much responsibility for running a business at such a young age, Mom. You always wondered if I was really happy, didn’t you?” Matthew knew what Anna was thinking. He had never discussed it with his parents before, but he was willing to do it for Tammy

“I’m sorry, Matthew,” Anna said

“It’s fine. Since I was a child, I’ve learned a lot about business and management from Dad. To be honest, it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I don’t feel like I’m taking on too much. I do so much because I want Tammy to have the chance to do what she wants. I don’t want her to be unhappy because she is forced to do something she dislikes. Mom, you understand what I’m saying, right?”

Emotional as Anna was, she still found it hard to accept the fact that Tammy would be a dropout. And Anna said worriedly, “But Tammy’s not good at studying, and she probably won’t even get into college.”

“What’s the problem with that? A college degree isn’t all that matters

Tammy’s smart. If she is truly gifted in e-sports and can achieve success, I’ll

“Matthew is right, honey. You should listen to him,” Wayne said to Anna, love Tammy, so I don’t mind if she pursues a different career. I just want her to be happy and healthy at all times. It doesn’t matter if she can’t get into college or find a job because we have plenty of money to support her. I wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t work a day in her life.”

“Well, Peace once told me the exact same thing,” With a wry smile, Anna replied

“But you didn’t to her, did you?” Wayne said with a smile, “I’ll give her some shares of our group and enough money.”

“And I’m confident that Tammy will be successful because her abilities are exceptional. She’s only 16 years old, and she has much potential. What we need to do now is help her figure it out on her own. She should know what she wants to do and what she intends to do in the future. She’s nice and smart, but she just has hobbies different than us. You, too, should have faith in Tammy, Mom.” Matthew echoed

“So, are you saying that we should stop caring about her academic performance?”

“No. I’ll hire more tutors for her to make up for the classes she’s missed. We should try to get her into college.” Matthew had been tutored at home as a child, so he had never experienced college life. That

was one of his regrets, and he didn’t want Tammy to experience the same

“All right, you have a point, Matthew.”

“Just leave this to me. I got this, Mom” Matthew gave a confident smile

Tammy ran out of the bedroom after Anna and Wayne had left. She heard their entire conversation just now. She hugged Matthew tightly and

appeared to be about to cry. She said, “Matthew, I’m not going to let you worry about me anymore. You have my word!”

“Okay, I believe you. Also, Mom’s going back to Fleosil,” Matthew stroked Tammy’s head and said
