My Substitute Wife Is a Bigwig (Lily Brooks and Loid Laurier)

Loid burst out laughing. Did acknowledging Melanie as her mother–in–law mean Lily was willing to accept him? 

He knew he could rely on his mother, 

lan was surprised for a while before he swallowed his saliva and gave a thumbs–up, “Impressive!” 

A student’s future mother–in–law came for the parent–teacher conference. It was a first in history. That was something only Lily would do. 

At 7:30 pm, the parent–teacher conference began. 

John briefly talked about the exam papers and the students‘ scores. After encouraging the parents and mentioning the upcoming SAT, he then ended the meeting. 

Unlike other teachers, he didn’t waste time on useless chatter 

The remaining time was for parents to consult John about their children’s performance at school and other related matters. John was very patient, and each parent had a thorough discussion with him 

When almost all the parents were done, John approached Melanie. “You’re Lily’s parent, right?” 

Melanie nodded, stood up, and smiled. “Hello, Mr. Everton.” 

She was polite and courteous, without any airs of an aristocratic lady. 

“I want to talk to you about Lily.” John pursed his lips. “Actually, she’s quite smart. In the recent test, there was a math question worth 20 points. Only a few students in the whole grade got it right. 

“She claimed to have copied it, but I think she just doesn’t want to study. That question couldn’t have been copied.” 

At that time in class, John believed Lily. But after class, he thought for awhile and felt something was wrong Later, hechecked Lily’s answer to that question. It was completely different from the other students‘ answers, offering a completely new solution. It was better than the others‘ answers too. 

He also checked Lily’s answers to other questions. They seemed messy, but the methods used were correct. Only the answers were wrong 

He didn’t believe it was a coincidence. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“I believe, with the right guidance from parents, she can still get into university,” John said. 

Melanie glanced at Lily’s papers. “Can she really get into university with her grades?” 

With a score of it was uncertain if she could finish high school, let alone consider university. 

Originally, Melante was considering using connections to find a private university for Lily. But now, she was somewhat intrigued by John’s words. It would be good if Lily could get into university on her own. After all, having some knowledge would benefither wherever she went. 

“There’s still a semester and a halt before the SAT. With the joint efforts of parents and teachers, she can still make it. Perhaps you haven’t noticed her strengths, which has led her to lack self–confidence,” John said. 

“Alright,” Melanie put away the papers. “Could ask you to go her more attention and assistance? I’ll also ensure she studies well.” 

“Sure, it’s my duty.” 

After a brief exchange, Melanie left 

As she walked, she made a phone call “Get me some SAT prep materials and deliver them to Anmer Heights.” 

The responsibility of encouraging Lily to study should be handed over to Loid. 

This could potentially improve their relationship.
