Chapter 1232:

Truthfully, Freya had never dreamed of piling on so many after-school classes. With the combined backing of the Briggs Group, Anita International, and the Lambert Group, the twins were set for life whether they excelled or not. But after hearing their classmates list off soccer, robotics, and ballet, Jesse and Nina came home determined to do it all—and promptly signed up for half the offerings themselves. That was how the oversized schedule had landed in Alan’s hands—at the kids’ own insistence.

Fortunately, a handful of classes only met once a week, so there was still space for games and lazy afternoons.
