Chapter 1695: Chapter 102: Targeted (Part 4)
Given Hudson’s lifespan, it is destined that the Koslow Family will remain one of the most important families in the Kingdom for the next few centuries.
Such a high-quality marriage prospect, it must be snapped up in advance!
“You handle it first, if it really doesn’t work just blame it on me, I think everyone would be willing to wait.
If the future spouse set in advance turns out to be a disappointment, you wouldn’t want the kids to resent you!”
Hudson joked.
Melissa has always been steady, it’s impossible for her to make a decision about the children’s marriages without consulting their father.
Outsiders seeking marriage alliances aim to strengthen ties with him.
If they can’t gain his approval, more than half of the value of the marriage is lost.
Purely planning for children’s happiness is nonsense. When the kids are so small, who knows what they’ll turn into?
Hudson himself hasn’t found anything special in his sons; their cultivation talent can only be considered mediocre, and their ability to handle matters is still being developed.
Their biggest difference perhaps is their choice of wombs, being born directly at the endpoint others strive for.
If they don’t succeed, they can be freeloaders for life, and there will still be someone to support them.
Even if he goes bankrupt himself, his sons and grandsons can continue to squander, as long as they die before Hudson does, there’s no worry.
Thinking of this, Hudson’s gaze towards his sons suddenly changed.
If such a scenario really occurs, wouldn’t he have to work for these little fellows all his life?
“Father, we haven’t done anything wrong lately!”
Unable to withstand Hudson’s peculiar gaze, the youngest, Caesar, spoke first.
He regretted it the moment he spoke. While they hadn’t caused trouble, it didn’t mean there were no issues.
The nervous expression clearly confessed to Hudson that they had gotten into mischief again.
“Franz, you’re the eldest, you speak first.
You’re not planning to run away from home again, are you?”
Hearing Hudson’s teasing, Franz’s face was full of black lines.
Running away from home is his biggest black mark.
In youthful ignorance, he thought that by distracting all the servants, he could escape the “cage” that bound him.
But because the manor’s grounds were too vast, he accidentally lost his way and exhausted himself before even leaving the Manor House.
Originally, it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the rebellious young boy left a letter behind.
Noble children generally mature early; after attending school for a few years, Franz had gained a basic understanding of his family.
His parents’ indifference to his running away from home was because they were confident.
Even if he managed to escape the Manor House, the surrounding towns were still family territory, and beyond that still part of the Kingdom.
Leaving the fief, there was still the Kingdom, a bigger “cage.” As long as it was within the Human Race’s controlled zones, Master Hudson’s name was influential.
“Nonsense, I’ve never run away from home!”
Franz vehemently refuted.
The parents knowing about his black history was enough, it must never be known by his younger brothers, or else it would lead to endless trouble.
After reading history books, he realized how important his status as the eldest son was.
Luckily, his brothers were still young and had no concept of power. Otherwise, encountering an elder brother with a runaway past would surely incite them to misbehave.
“We just accidentally lost our homework books, it’s not that we didn’t do them…”
Before he could finish, Melissa’s face changed. Seeing the storm of mixed-gender scolding approaching, Little Franz quickly shut his mouth.
“You guys are such good brothers, even losing homework books together!
If you don’t want to do homework, then you don’t have to. Recently I have plenty of time, you can follow me for some training.”
As soon as the words finished, Hudson and Melissa, in perfect sync, picked up whips and started a mixed-gender scolding of the four brothers.
The wailing sounded in their ears, gradually soothing Hudson’s wounded heart.
Deep inside, he had decided to strengthen the education of his sons. Rationality told him that if he continued indulging them, they would assuredly grow into good-for-nothing adults in the future.
