Chapter 1619
“Of course you did, Rosalynn responded
Rosalynn and Wayne shared a knowing look, and both broke into a hearty laugh
After a joyful lunch, Baillie and Hilaria had to head off to work. The rest headed back home at a leisurely pace.
“The final exams are coming up, Ivy started rambling about her plans as soon as she got home. 7 need to study hard?” Last time around, she was still a few ranks away from being top ranked.
Liam had made it clear he would only continue tutoring her over the summer if she came in first in her year!
Does Liam have the time? Should we ask him to tutor vy?” Calvin quickly questioned, seeing Ivy’s anxious demeanor. Wayne cleared his throat, “Liam has his own finals to worry about”
“Right, I can’t let my needs get in the way of Liam scoring top marks!” Ivy lamented. “Enough chit–chat, I’m going to study hard now!” Wayne, leaning on his cane, watched Ivy’s retreating figure as she scampered upstairs, a million thoughts racing through his mind “Don’t be worried too much, Prez?” Paige teased Wayne, her hand resting on Cory’s head.
“You’ll understand when you have a daughter Wayne shot her a glance.
“Why should I worry? We’ve already agreed, if I have a daughter, she’ll be with Cory. I’m not worried at alt Paige chuckled.
Cory glanced her silently
Why was this topic brought up again?
“Tech Seven, don’t you have a meeting at three this afternoon?” Rosalynn checked her watch, reminding Cory
Cory nodded towards Paige. “Under the law, marriage should be based on mutual consent, arranged marriages are a no–go.”
“Alright, let’s settle on this for now. When you’re older, you can date freely first, and then we can arrange the marriage Cory was at a loss for words again
When it came to this topic, he was no match for Paige’s logic
With his head hanging low, Cory left
“Look at how you’ve left him down in the dumps,” Rosalynn shook her head at Paige.
Paige’s laughter only grew louder.
Rosalynn could only shake her head in disbelief.
Later. Rosalynn made a solo trip out, crossing paths with Alison again
The bruise on Alisons neck was a shocking sight
“Are you okay?” Rosalynn asked with concern.
Alison looked down, “Have you ever hit vy?”
Rosalynn patted Alison’s shoulder, getting straight to the point, “Would you like to study abroad?”
Alison was taken aback, “Abroad?”
“Yes, the M Country, the Y Country, or any other country you’d like to go to
I don’t have the money.” Alison managed to say
Although Alison was usually quiet in class, she heard her classmates talk a lot.
They would always talk about what courses they took in which countries, and how much money they spent.
To Alison, those numbers were astronomical
“But first, can you tell me, do you want to go?”
Without hesitation, Alison nodded: 1 do, I want to leave here, to get as far away from them as possible. I hope they never find me.”
As Alison spoke, tears streamed down her face.
