Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 280

Ch. 280 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

How could she have the money to send the children to elite schools?

Hearing this, Malcolm felt a slight pain in his heart. He thought about it and said, "Lynn, the elite schools in Fielddell have the donation of our Lowe family, and most of the donations are from us. If the children of the Lowe family go to these schools, the cost is not high."

When Marilyn heard this, she burst out laughing.

"Malcolm, what does the Lowe family's child have to do with me? Forget it, you don't have to worry about this!

If my children go to school with your connections and this thing is known by others, they will only be ridiculed and ostracized by others there.

The school they were going to attend was also very good, and it was a first-grade school."

Marilyn had taken care of her children for a few years. When she sent her children to kindergarten, she experienced a sense of comparison.

Besides, she would not let her children go to that place to be contaminated with those bad habits.

As long as they were willing to work hard, the future was in their hands.

Her three children worked very hard.

However, there were still some differences.

Hearing this, Malcolm did not know what to say at the moment.

There were good and bad sides to elite schools.

However, the faculty was very strong, and this was also the reason why everyone was trying to attend them.

Malcolm said, "Lynn, the faculty there is incomparable to that of other schools."

Marilyn also knew that he was right.

In order for the children to grow into better talents in the future, parents would choose this kind of international high-end elite school. The software and hardware facilities of the elite schools were all first-class and complete.

But she faced a very real problem. The high tuition fee was not something she could afford.

She also knew that a school's faculty and courses directly affected the children's future, but...

Marilyn smiled bitterly. She really could not do anything about this, and she was ashamed in her heart!

She smiled and said, "Malcolm, I know what you mean, but you know my economic conditions very well. No!"

Malcolm narrowed his eyes and said, "Lynn, you really don't have to pay a high tuition fee. Don't you want to let Dominic and the other two go?"

Malcolm thought, "Damn it, I want to tell her the truth."

But the truth would make them become strangers.

He was in a dilemma!

Upon hearing this, Marilyn was slightly moved. She asked solemnly, "Malcolm, are you serious? Is there such a good thing that I don't have to pay the fees?" She also knew about that elite school in Fielddell.

Even Sandy and Baron, who had a good family background at that time, could not enter that school.

Forget it. What exactly was she thinking?

Malcolm nodded and said, "Lynn, it's absolutely free. Let Dominic, Laverne, and Arturo go!"

With Malcolm there, would his children take the second best?

Marilyn was slightly stunned and did not speak. She lowered her head and continued eating the lobster.

When Malcolm saw this, he was full of patience.

He casually picked up the lobster, peeled one, and was about to put it in Marilyn's bowl. Marilyn quickly said, "Malcolm, don't do this! Eat it yourself. You haven't eaten a single one yet. You've already served me. I can peel it myself."

Malcolm glanced at her and put the one in his hand into his mouth.

The taste was fresh and tender, and it was indeed delicious!

Marilyn looked at it before smiling.

Then she picked up the disposable gloves on the side and began to do it herself!

Malcolm looked at her happy expression and smiled. "Lynn, consider what I just told you seriously!"

Marilyn replied while peeling the lobster, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my mother. If they go to school over there, it will be very troublesome for my mother to pick them up."

When Malcolm heard Debbie, his mood instantly became better. "Lynn, it's no trouble. You have to make a decision quickly."

Marilyn looked up at him and nodded without speaking.

Malcolm smiled and leaned lazily against his chair.

If Marilyn said this to her mother, her mother would definitely agree!

He could feel Debbie was helping him.

The corners of Malcolm's mouth twitched as he watched her begin to gorge herself.

Malcolm's eyes were full of love. She was so innocent and not artificial.

An hour later, Marilyn patted her stomach.

Half of the lobsters of all kinds of flavors on the table were eaten by her. She looked at Malcolm and said, "Malcolm, I can't eat anymore! Pack these up!"

Malcolm had already eaten his fill and was waiting for her.

She usually did not eat much, but she was able to eat a lot of lobsters.

Malcolm smiled and said, "Lynn, if you want to eat, I'll bring you over tomorrow. It won't taste good until tomorrow."

Marilyn glanced at him slightly and mocked in her heart, "Put them in the refrigerator. Although the taste is a bit worse, it is not impossible to eat!"

Marilyn thought, "Forget it, if Malcolm packed it up here, he would also feel embarrassed!

But it's a pity to have so much left!"

She got up and picked up her bag. "Malcolm, let's go back!"

Marilyn was sleepy after eating her fill, and today she cried to her content again. She was now tired and sleepy!

"Okay!" Malcolm got up and left with her.

The two went directly to the parking lot. Malcolm drove Marilyn back.

Marilyn also did not refuse, and she also did not have the strength to argue with Malcolm now.

After all, she wanted to go back home to sleep.

Marilyn leaned back in her seat, her eyes looking at the bright night scene outside, which flashed before her eyes.

In her heart, she was thinking about what Malcolm had said to her.

Marilyn had to think thoroughly about her children going to the elite school!

But when she thought about her savings, it seemed that she only had this month's salary!

Marilyn shook her head slightly, feeling extremely conflicted.

She quickly glanced at Malcolm and said unhappily, "Malcolm, it's all your fault. I will have insomnia tonight."

Malcolm looked at her confusedly and asked, "Lynn, have you been full? What about I stopping the car and walking with you?"

Marilyn was speechless.

She smiled and shook her head.

"Malcolm, I only have this month's salary in my pocket, but you lured me to let my child go to the elite school. Isn't this deliberately making me entangled?"

She also wanted the children to receive a better education, but reality made her a little helpless.

Malcolm smiled and said, "Lynn, are you blaming me for giving you a low salary? I will give you a higher salary."

When Marilyn heard this, she asked happily, "Malcolm, it's good to have a boss like you!"

"When have I, Malcolm, gone back on my word?" His tone was calm, but one could hear the seriousness in his words.

Marilyn smiled. "Forget it, I was just joking. The salary is based on your ability."

Malcolm glanced at her and smiled helplessly. He thought, "This girl, wouldn't she be as greedy as the others?"
