Chapter 386
After hearing the words from Andrew, Copper realized how ridiculous his pity for Andrew had been.
No matter what, Andrew was born into a wealthy family.
Even though he grew up in a single–parent household and his future stepmother didn’t show much
sincerity toward him, he didn’t need a person like Copper to sympathize with him.
Thinking about his previous pity for Andrew, Copper felt a bit embarrassed. However, this emotion was
short–lived and soon dissipated, leaving behind an untraceable sense of superiority.
So what if Andrew’s father was rich? If he didn’t receive a good education and lacked personal skills,
he might end up in a lower social class in 20 years.
In this world, only knowledge, skills, and abilities are the means to make a living. At the thought of this,
Copper used his status as an elder to persuade Andrew. “Coffee and money are external things. A
child of your age should learn more.” He paused for a moment and continued to ask, “During this winter
break, did your father enroll you in any tutoring classes? You’ll be starting your first grade in elementary
school tomorrow, right? You should be well–prepared for the transition.”
Andrew held his milk and drank it earnestly. When he heard this, he raised his eyes and nodded in
agreement with Copper, saying like an adult, “The school curriculum isn’t that difficult, but it’s indeed
important to prepare early and build a strong foundation.”
Copper chuckled, finding Andrew’s confidence a bit audacious.
Andrew was such a young child who was not even in elementary school. Yet, he claimed that
elementary school courses were not difficult.
Copper’s habit of being a mentor emerged, and he immediately said, “If you think that elementary
school courses are not difficult, then let me test you. What’s 9 plus11?”
During a break from drinking milk, Andrew glanced at Copper. His lips curled slightly, appearing
somewhat displeased.
He wondered why the conversation had suddenly shifted toward asking him mathematics questions.
Despite being a little unhappy, Andrew was still polite and answered, “20.”
Copper was surprised, thinking that the child was quite impressive.

Afterward, he reminded Copper, “I already learned multiplication and division.” Copper nodded in
agreement, thinking to himself that it made sense. After all, Andrew came from a wealthy family that
had provided him with a good education.
Even though Olivia had interrupted his learning during the entire winter break, his previous knowledge
base remained strong.
“You’re so smart and you shouldn’t waste your time. You should acquire more skills.” Copper thought of
his own son and said, “You can learn to play the violin. My son is also learning the violin.”
Andrew blinked and replied, “I know how to play the violin.”
Copper then asked, “Did you hire a tutor? It’s best to learn from a renowned teacher. My son’s violin
teacher is a famous violin teacher from Evervale.” Andrew clapped his hands and said, “That’s great.”
He didn’t mention who his teacher was.
Copper inquired further, “Who is your violin teacher?”
Andrew squinted his eyes and proudly said, “It’s Olivia.”
“Olivia asked me what instrument I wanted to learn so that she could teach me. I chose the violin.”
Copper smiled faintly, and the curiosity in his eyes disappeared a lot.
He had originally wanted to find out who Andrew’s teacher was. If possible, he would like to connect
with that teacher to teach his own son.
Little did he know that it was Olivia.
His interest waned and he was not in the mood to talk.
On the other hand, Andrew remained in high spirits. “Olivia is very skilled. She knows a lot. She can
play the piano, violin, and even the trumpet. She’s good at everything.”
Copper humored him with half–hearted responses.
Shawn came out of the room and was surprised to see the two of them chatting happily. “What are you
talking about?”
Andrew enthusiastically began talking about Olivia..
In the past. Andrew had admired Olivia. After discovering she was his mother, hist admiration grew. He
thought Olivia was perfect in every way. So, he couldn’t control his desire to show off.
“We were talking about the violin, and Olivia taught me how to play. She’s amazing.”
The corners of Shawn’s mouth curled up, and his tone was perfunctory. “Yes, Ms. Taylor is very
talented.”
Andrew was really clever. Even though he didn’t realize it when he was talking to

Copper, seeing Shawn act in the same way, he immediately sensed something was wrong. They
simply didn’t believe what he was saying, and they didn’t think Olivia was impressive.
Andrew wasn’t too pleased and gave Shawn a cold look.
In his heart, he had removed Shawn’s name from the list of his good friends. He felt that someone who
didn’t respect or trust him didn’t deserve to be his friend. Andrew put down his glass of milk and stood
up from the sofa. He pulled a chilly. expression and said, “I’m going back.”
Shawn noticed that Andrew’s mood wasn’t right.
He asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you angry?”
Andrew looked at own and snorted. Nevertheless, he decided to give him another chance. “Shawn, I
feel you don’t respect me. You don’t take what I say seriously, and you don’t trust me. You always treat
me like a child.”
Shawn felt unfairly accused. “It’s a misunderstanding. I’ve always been serious. when talking with you.”
“Then why do you always look so dismissive when I talk about Olivia?” Andrew questioned.
Shawn scratched his head and explained, “It’s not what you thought. It’s just that I think children have a
different perspective on adults they’re close to. So I find it hard to believe.”
“I really like Olivia,” Andrew said earnestly. “And what I’m saying about her is also the truth.”
He presented the facts and reasoned them out step by step. “Olivia knows how to play the violin, and
she’s really talented. My dad has told me that when she was. ten, she could compose her own music.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe even created the violin piece ‘Mom in My Dream.””
Copper questioned, “Wasn’t it composed by “The Girl in the White Dress“?”
Since his son was learning the violin, Copper had a little basic information about it.
Andrew nodded. “Yes, it’s Olivia. They’re the same person.”
Copper was momentarily at a loss for words.
Shawn was also very surprised. He had never expected that the great scientist Olivia had such a wide
range of talents.
Andrew counted on his fingers, saying, “There’re a lot of composers who wanted to take Olivia as their
student, but she declined. Apart from the violin, she’s also skilled in the piano and the string harp. I’m
seriously discussing this with you, but you adults are too arrogant and don’t believe me at all.”
Shawn quickly apologized, saying, “I’m sorry. I was too arrogant. I didn’t know there were so many
talented people in the world.”

Copper remained silent, still in disbelief.
He was genuinely taken by surprise.

Previously, Andrew had constantly praised Olivia, and he had thought it was just a child’s exaggeration.
However, he now realized it was all true.
Andrew had such a talented person willing to teach him. So, he didn’t need to look for another teacher.
Copper felt he had been too superficial.
Andrew was a loving child. He quickly forgave Shawn and said to him seriously. “Shawn, Olivia is truly
amazing. If you ever have questions about computer technology, you can also ask her.”
Shawn couldn’t help but chuckle.
In his heart, he thought, “After all, he’s just a child. In his eyes, Olivia is practically omnipotent. Now
she’s even skilled in computers.”
Shawn didn’t agree with it in his heart, but he didn’t argue with Andrew. He simply said, “Alright, if I
have questions, I’ll definitely ask.”
