Charlie did not refuse when he was faced with Marianne’s kindness and good intentions.
Even though he was a billionaire now, he still held regrets for not having completed his higher education.
In the past, it was not that he did not want to spend more time reading. It was just that there were many times when he did not have the time to do so.
Over the few years when he had first married Claire, he was basically always wearing his apron aside from the time when he was sleeping. There was never anyone to encourage him or spur him on, so he really had not developed the habit of reading over the years.
Since Marianne was willing to take on the role to urge and guide him, Charlie naturally agreed readily.
Marianne was very happy. So, she said to Charlie, “We have reached a consensus, then. Remember to register an email when you have time. I will help to choose some books for you, and I will send you the electronic version of the books through email. That way, you can read it anytime and anywhere on your cell phone. When you’re almost done with the book, I will send you some questions via email, and you should try your best to answer when the time comes.”
Charlie nodded and said seriously, “No problem, Teacher.”
When Marianne heard Charlie referring to her as a teacher, she smiled and said, “You’re the first to call me a teacher.”
Charlie smiled and said, “I could be considered your first student, then.”
Marianne smiled and asked him, “Do you think that I’m suitable to be a teacher? I mean, a real teacher.”
“Yes.” Charlie said very seriously, “Firstly, to be a truly qualified teacher, you have to be learned, and you fit this category perfectly. Secondly, you have to serve as a model for others, and I believe that you also have no problem with that.”
Having said that, Charlie could not help but sigh as he said, “Many teachers have lost their original intention to impart knowledge and educate people nowadays, and they only care about chasing fame and wealth. However, Miss Marianne, I believe that you will definitely not be the same as them if you become a teacher. So, I think that you would do better than most people if you become a teacher.”
