The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 

“You know what? Let them make fun of you.” 

“But…” 

“They might laugh at you now, but he who laughs last laughs best.” 

“Huh?” the kids said, looking confused. 

“What I mean is, maybe not now, but later, you’ll be the one laughing at them when you’re the smartest kid in class and they’re still struggling. It takes wisdom to acknowledge your own flaws and weaknesses, and that’s what school is for, right?” 

“Hmm… you’re right, Dad,” James said, taking the book back. 

“And you know what? As you keep using the dictionary, it’ll gradually become normal and natural for you to look things up when you have questions.” 

“Okay,” said James, smiling. Then he noticed something funny on the book cover: It had a sticker that said, “Property of Jayden. Do not touch, except Jayden.” 

Yeah, I know. Back then, I found your grandpa’s label maker and used it to put messages on all my stuff. 

“You were a naughty boy, Daddy,” Elizabeth said. 

“A little,” he said, sticking his tongue out to make his kids laugh. 

“Hey, Dad, does Grandpa still have that label maker?” James asked excitedly. 

Hmm… I don’t think so.” 

“Aww,” the kids pouted.

“You can shop from your phone? Wow, now I really feel old. I didn’t know about this magic,” Jayden said, looking at the phone screen. 

“Camilla, do they have a label maker like Daddy’s?” Elizabeth asked, coming closer to see the screen. 

“Let’s see, I’ll check the catalog and… Camilla said, scrolling through the screen. “Oh, yes, look, here it is,” she said, showing them a machine that made the same kind of labels as the dictionary. 

“Daddy, can we order it, please?” Elizabeth pleaded. 

Let’s see… the price is reasonable, so we can.” 

“Yay!”

“Can you order it, Camilla?” Jayden asked. 

“Sure thing, boss,” she said, typing quickly on her phone. “Done. It’ll arrive at the mansion in an hour, and it’ll be $358, including shipping.” 

“Huh? That fast, and they deliver it to the door?” Jayden asked in surprise. 

“Yes, sir. I’ll let the butler know to be on the lookout for its arrival.” 

“Wow, I’m really behind the times. Now we can order things as fast as fast food,” he said, watching his kids‘ excitement. “But let’s finish your homework so we can play and-”
