MainNovelChapter 1457: Bryan said, "Alright, here's the deal-two pieces of candy as a reward, and two more for being brave and not shedding a tear. Now, think about it. What's two plus two? You tell me." He turned the key, and the engine hummed to life as he merged into the flow of traffic. His eyes scanned for the nearest supermarket along the way.
Moments ago, Gabriela had boldly declared that she deserved four pieces of candy. But now, with a furrowed brow and her fingers spread wide, she counted slowly. "Two plus two... Four!" Bryan tilted his head, maintaining a serious tone. "It's three. Where'd you cup with four?" Gabriela's wide, puzzled eyes stared at Bryan, disbelief written all over her face. Determined, she lowered her gaze and began counting on her small fingers again. Slowly, she reached four.
"You're just a kid. You'll learn how to count properly once you start school," Bryan said, brushing aside her perfectly accurate answer without a second thought.

A hint of worry crossed Eileen's mind. If Bryan kept teaching Gabriela like this, how would she manage when real math problems cher way? "Dad, what's five plus six?" Gabriela asked eagerly, wiggling out of her seatbelt to lean closer toward Bryan. "Eleven," Bryan answered easily.

"Five," Bryan replied.
"Two plus two?" Gabriela asked.
"Three," Bryan answered.
Gabriela's little schhadn't worked, but her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Dad, you're really good at this!" Bryan soaked in her admiration without the slightest trace of guilt.
"You'll be just as good when you grow up," he said.
"Really?" Gabriela asked.
"Of course! If you put in the effort and study hard, you'll surpass me," Bryan replied encouragingly.
After hearing that, Gabriela happily bought three pieces of candy before they headed home.
Eileen remained unconvinced. If Gabriela could correctly add foum correctly add ones but still say that two plus two equals three, could she really surpass Bryan in math in the future? Honestly, she would be content if Gabriela turned out to have average intelligence for now.
As shameful as Bryan's little tricks were, Gabriela eagerly fell for them. Eileen decided it was tfor m serious talk with Bryan. "One day, Gabriela will grow up and realize you've been fooling her all along. This isn't right."
"I'm teaching her a lesson, disguised as fun. When she grows up andm figures out what i've done, she'll be ve wiser in how she deals with people," Bryan replied.
