No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1890 Hayes Edwards Extra (47)

Mother Edwards said, "Can’t you set a good example for Grace?"

"Playing basketball is great, and it’s good exercise," Hayes Edwards remarked, "I’m just worried she will focus only on studying without exercising and... well, you get what I mean."

Mother Edwards shook her head, "Exercise is good, but make sure to come home on time and don’t make us worry."

Hayes Edwards nodded, "Got it."

As New Year approached, the end-of-term results were released.

Grace Winter surprised everyone by ranking first, not just in the class but in the entire grade. Even the teachers praised her talent in learning, saying she can grasp concepts quickly and apply them effectively.

Father Winter and Mother Winter were overjoyed upon hearing the news. Father Winter lifted Grace up, saying, "Grace is the best."

Grace giggled happily, her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Hayes Edwards also received his scores.

He didn’t get first place, but he showed significant improvement compared to last time.

Father Edwards and Mother Edwards were pretty happy as well.

During dinner, they rewarded him with two large chicken drumsticks.

Hayes Edwards was always keen on growing taller, and when it came to eating more to nourish himself, he always listened to his dear mother.

At the dinner table, Father Edwards suddenly spoke up, "Did you say Grace got first place in her exams?"

Mother Edwards laughed, "Yes, not just in her class but in the whole grade! I knew I was right; Grace is not only adorable and obedient but also smart. If I had such a little treasure, I could wake up laughing even in my dreams. But it’s nice as it is now..."

Every time Grace Winter was mentioned, Mother Edwards never hid her affection for her.

Hayes Edwards paused mid-bite with his chicken leg, "Wha... Grace Winter got first place?"

He was so astonished that he forgot to chew.

Mother Edwards served a bowl of chicken soup beside him, "Yeah, didn’t she tell you?"

Because it was winter and it got dark early, they had been walking home together recently.

Hayes Edwards truly hadn’t expected that his silly little companion secretly had the brains to score first in the grade.

Shocked, truly too shocked.

Hayes Edwards took a big bite of chicken, eating while still immersed in his astonishment.

The next day, when Grace Winter came over to play, Hayes Edwards pulled her to the balcony, "You got first place, why didn’t you tell me?"

For some reason, discovering he wasn’t the first to know made him inexplicably irritated.

They had known each other for so many years. Shouldn’t she have told him first?

Grace Winter looked up at him, hands behind her back, "I didn’t purposely hide it from you."

Hayes Edwards crossed his arms, waiting for her explanation.

His gaze had an inexplicable intensity and a hint of sternness that almost made Grace cry, but she tried hard to hold back, "You are also a top scorer, so I thought the topic of being first wouldn’t matter to you, so I didn’t mention it."

Hayes Edwards: "..." He seriously suspected she was mocking him!

"I’m sorry, Hayes," Grace Winter gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, "If you want to know, I can tell you everything from now on."

Hayes Edwards was silent for a few seconds, "No need, don’t tell me anything in the future."

It would save him from getting annoyed!

But even without Grace Winter saying anything, Hayes Edwards couldn’t avoid hearing it from others.

Like from Little Fatty.

That night, Little Fatty specifically messaged Hayes Edwards using his newly bought phone watch, "Brother Edwards, did you know? Grace got first place!"
