Chapter 342 Never Asked You
"Dad, I'm having trouble with some of the questions. Can you help me? And I want to talk to you for a bit. Your work has been really busy lately, and I never get a chance to talk to you."
After chatting with Grandma earlier today, Jimmy now wanted to talk to his dad. Cyril was a bit surprised, but he also felt guilty. He had been so busy with work that he had neglected Jimmy's feelings. He decided to put aside work for now and have a good chat with Jimmy, because father-son relationships needed to be maintained.
"Sure, just wait for me a moment. I'll tidy up here and then come find you. You go do your other homework."
Jimmy nodded and went to do his other homework, while Miles quickly finished up his work and then went to Jimmy's room.
Jimmy was struggling with a math problem and hadn't noticed Miles come in until he was reminded of how to solve it. He then realized his father was there teaching him.
"I've always struggled with this problem, but your method, Dad, is so simple. If my teacher taught me this way, I'd have gotten it ages ago."
Miles couldn't help but smile at Jimmy's words. The methods taught in school were useful, but not all problems had solutions taught in class. This method was something he had come up with himself while solving problems. He found it effective and straightforward, so he thought it was a good method.
"There's something I've never asked you. You've always liked Silvia very much, but I've never asked if you want her to be your mother. And all this time, it seems like we've been imposing on Silvia, forcing her to make a choice, without giving her any good reasons or conditions."
Under these circumstances, being seen as using her wasn't surprising. But when Jimmy heard this, he paused. Clearly, he hadn't expected his father to say this. And they hadn't communicated much between them over this matter during this time. They only occasionally felt the need to chat. "Wouldn't I pursue her if I didn't like you, Dad? It's obvious you like her."
Jimmy was genuinely puzzled. If he really liked her, why would he do all this? Anyway, he thought Silvia was really nice, and there was nothing wrong with living with her.
"It's not like that. Our liking is based on our emotional needs, so we act this way. But do you know what Silvia thinks? Does she like us? Why do we always impose our thoughts on others?"
Jimmy had never considered these things before, and now that he heard them, he fell silent.
"But it's okay. You can take your time to think about these things. If you're not sure, we have more time to think."
Seeing Jimmy's puzzled expression, Miles advised him to calm down and not rush to give an answer. The answer was important, but it was also important to consider whether one would regret it later.
"I understand, Dad. But before you asked me, I already knew. I really like Silvia, so even if you didn't ask me today, I would still tell you. I really hope Silvia can live with us. But if she doesn't want to, I won't forceThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Will is also very important
Jimmy's words were serious, and after a moment of silence, Miles smiled. He realized that even in this situation, Jimmy had his own standards and wouldn't make things difficult for others, nor would he feel awkward himself.
"Okay, I understand. I'll try to find a way to pursue her back. But if I fail in the middle, then I'll really have no way."
Miles spoke sincerely. After all, with a girl like Silvia, who wouldn't like her? Pursuing Silvia was not an easy or simple matter.
"I know, so Dad, you have to work hard. If you can't pursue her, it'll be really embarrassing, and you can't let other people take advantage of it, right?"
There was a joking tone in Jimmy's words, which made Miles feel a bit helpless. He shook his head and didn't say anything more.
After discussing this important matter, Jimmy continued to lower his head to do his homework, while Miles occasionally reminded him of what kind of problems to focus on and what methods were best suited for them.
Until he finished all his homework, Miles finally had time to handle his own work. Although his workload wasn't much, he found it hard to concentrate in his study. He couldn't help but think about Grandma and Jimmy's conversation. If he really wanted to have a relationship with Silvia, what should he do? Thinking about it made him feel particularly complicated, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to call Silvia to chat.
After a while, Silvia's phone finally connected. When she received his call, Silvia was quite surprised.
"Why are you calling me suddenly? Didn't you say you had relatives visiting? I thought you'd be busy entertaining them now. It's unexpected to receive a call from you at this time."
