Chapter 514: Woman, what if I don’t become a rich man when I grow up?
He kicked the stone at his feet, becoming even more melancholic, and sullenly said, “Woman, I think I won’t become a rich man in the future.”
Enna Clark intently observed his expression; who had crushed her dear boy, Bobby’s, spirits? Didn’t this kid usually boast about becoming very rich when he grows up and taking her to enjoy all kinds of luxuries? His reaction today was not like him at all.
Enna Clark said in a light tone, “I don’t think so, I’ve always believed that my Bobby will certainly grow up to be an extraordinary person.”
Despite her conviction, Tobias Clark’s nose tingled, he swiftly turned his head away, his eyes reddening, “Extraordinary people do not fail, but I’ve failed, I definitely can’t become an extraordinary person anymore.”
The dubious man from next door had told him that the Tri-Union stocks he had his hopes in would not only not bounce back but continue to fall until they are delisted. Moreover, the Tri-Union Group he was bullish about would go bankrupt too.
The man had also critiqued him for having a short-sighted view, only considering short-term gains and not being capable of making big money. He said Bobby was impulsive and lacked keen sensitivity towards numbers.
He knew that what the dubious man said was right, but he still felt uncomfortable.
The feeling was as if a person who had always stood at the peak suddenly slipped one day and was laughed at for falling.
From his childhood till now, he had never failed at anything.
He was the top student in school, adults always praised him for his intelligence, even in his initial days trading stocks everything went smoothly.
Suddenly someone told him that he had failed, and made a significant mistake, Bobby found it hard to accept.
Though he was precocious, he was only a five-year-old. What supreme psychological endurance could one expect from a five-year-old? When faced with problems, the first instinct is definitely to cry to Mom. Even if Bobby was a prodigy, deep down he was still a five-year-old child, his first reaction was also to cry to Enna Clark. But he didn’t want Enna to know he made a mistake buying stocks for fear that she would be disappointed in him. Yet he wanted to cry to Enna Clark for comfort.
“Woman, do you think that the dubious man next door has ever failed?” He said, then hung his head sullenly, “He’s so incredible, he must never have failed.”
Enna Clark paused, then said without hesitation, “Of course he has failed. There’s no person who has never failed. If there were someone who never fails at anything, then they wouldn’t be human. You think Sun Wukong is powerful, right? Yet, he was imprisoned under the Fingercrest Mountain by Buddha for five hundred years. Think about those monsters on his journey to the West, weren’t many of them the mounts of immortals? This shows even immortals can be careless.”
“Your Dad has definitely also failed.”
Enna Clark wasn’t saying this to console him, she truly believed that Baron Lawrence had been through much to become the man he is today.
Otherwise, how would you explain the mountain climbing, the cabin?
How would you explain the hot air balloon in the cabin?
“Baby, tigers are formidable, aren’t they? So are lions, crocodiles, and elephants are formidable too, right? Look at them when they are little, they still need people to protect them. They can’t even catch a wild chicken. It’s only after they grow up and have learned hunting skills that they become the king of their domain.”
“So, even the dubious man next door was once small and not as formidable as he is now. I always thought he was always this formidable.” Tobias Clark felt a lot more comfortable, and a smile appeared on his face. Blinking his eyes, he suddenly said to her, “Woman, the dubious man next door says you’re pregnant. Are you going to give birth to a brother or sister for me?”
