Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 33

Forget it! She supposed Gordon didn’t even know who Mason was judging from how thick he usually was.

When the school bell rang, their class teacher stood behind the podium with a solemn expression on his face. All the students of Class A were feeling so apprehensive that their palms were sweating.

“Mr. Smith, please just kill the suspense and tell us what’s on your mind,” one of the boys raised his hand and pleaded in a humble tone.

Mr. Smith dropped the solemn expression at once and declared, “Honestly, it isn’t totally a bad thing. The school is having a parent-teacher conference tomorrow.” It wasn’t a bad thing, at least in Mr. Smith’s perception, because he was glad to see these rascals in his class receive punishment.

Several beats later, the classroom was filled with sighs and groans.

“I knew I wouldn’t be able to escape it!”

“My doomsday is coming! I think I might as well just drop out from school! Once my parents know that my results rank fifth from the bottom, I’m sure they will suspend my allowance!”

“Damn it! I’ll have to suffer a round of endless nagging from my mother again at home.”

For those students who excelled in the exam, they would cruise through the parent-teacher conference but for those who didn’t do well, it would be a torture.

“Mr. Smith, can my parents not come tomorrow?” One of the boys put up his hand and said, “My parents are so busy and they have no time for me.”

Mr. Smith chuckled and countered, “For the parents who can’t make it tomorrow, I’ll have a chat with them over the phone.”

“Argh!”

After the period ended, Abby inched close to Janet and said, “Janet, I’ve never met your parents. I bet they will be over the moon when they know your exam results are at the top of our batch.”

Appearing unperturbed, Janet chuckled. “Will they?”

Whispers broke out among some of the classmates who overheard Abby’s comment.

Holding her head low, Emily asked cautiously, “Mom, since you’re going to attend the conference with me tomorrow, will Dad be there with Janet?”

Megan frowned at the mention of Janet as she still held a deep grudge against her. “I don’t think we will attend hers.” If she were to attend the conference as Janet’s mother, it would bring her nothing but embarrassment.

Janet reached home just in time to hear what Megan said. However, she only let out a chuckle and wasn’t too bothered by it.

Brian, who was reading the papers, spotted Janet and said to her, “Janet, Megan will be bringing the two of you to the parent-conference tomorrow because I can’t make it.”

“Okay,” Janet responded nonchalantly.

Megan looked bitter as soon as she heard what Brian said. Tugging his sleeve, she grumbled, “Brian, do I really have to be there as Janet’s mother?”

A crease appeared on Brian’s forehead because he knew what Megan was thinking. Trying to avoid speaking too harshly and hurt Janet, he said after some contemplation, “You girls are free to make any suitable arrangement.”

Janet chortled before she muttered in self-mockery, “Seems like I don’t deserve to be a part of this family.”
