Chapter 77 - 77: I Can Invite You

The aunt hadn't reacted yet.

"I really do have to do my homework, or I'll get told off at school."

Then she sauntered out of the room without looking back.

Kate smiled, "How cheeky of her. She squeezed orange juice without washing her hands. You can't drink that. Well, I'm going to prepare lunch for us all. Why don't you watch some TV, sister?"

As she spoke, she walked into the kitchen.

The rest of their visit went quite quietly after that. After lunch, the aunt and Reed went off to do some clothes shopping, and Sophia went back to her room to play chess.

The official blog had sent her the room number and password. She entered the room and began the game.

"Chubby" hadn't improved much and still lost in three minutes. After five games, Sophia was embarrassed that she was beating him so quickly.

She was making one hundred dollars in three minutes. Sophia felt a bit bad about it.

She clicked the dialog box and spoke to 'Chubby.'

"Sir, I think we should discuss the price." KAP sent the message.

It took him a while to respond.

"Fine. Two hundred bucks a game!"

Sophia was surprised.

She didn't mean to raise the price!

"No, you misunderstand me, that's not what I meant! I think you're paying too much!" KAP said.

"Three hundred dollars! That's a deal!"' Chubby' then went offline.

Sophia was stunned.

Unlike Toby, she felt bad!

Her aunt got back that evening and went to bed straight after supper without much talk. When she saw Sophia, there was something wary in her eyes.

Sophia enjoyed the quiet and went to her room.

The next morning, the aunt took Reed to the dentist. Kate had to attend a meeting at her school to discuss some arrangements after the holiday and so couldn't go with them.

"Well, we will be heading straight back after the dentist, so we should say goodbye now." The aunt turned to Kate, "Well, sister, there are some words I don't know whether I should say or not…"

Kate was good-natured. Although she knew this sister couldn't say anything good, she still said, "Just say it, sis!"

"Well, your daughter should learn some more…feminine skills. Something like cello or painting. Wouldn't that be elegant? As she is… Who's going to want to marry her as she is?" said the aunt, sighing, "Sister, I'm good for her."

Sophia came out of the room and looked at her with a smile, "Don't hurry off, aunt. I'll squeeze some more orange juice for you. Just a minute. I have washed my hands!"

The aunt was scared, and hurriedly said, "No, no. I'm not thirsty. I'm leaving now…"

Then, she took her son by the arm and walked away without turning her head back.

Kate said to Sophia helplessly, "You scared your aunt. She meant well."

Sophia shrugged her shoulder, "I didn't see that."

Kate didn't say anything more. It was almost time for her meeting, so she had to go. 

Sophia was the only one left in the house. She was bored. Pierre ran to her and rubbed her feet.

Sophia realized she should take him for a walk. He must be bored.

They walked along the road, and as they passed the Hall Hospital, Pierre suddenly made a break for it, the chain broke away from Sophia's hand, and he ran towards the hospital.

Pierre was always so obedient that Sophia hadn't been holding the chain tightly at all. She ran after him as fast as she could.

Since PE, music, and art were subjects that were not examined in the college entrance examination, the school just suspended these subjects and left classes to Chinese, math, and English from that week. Many students complained about it and considered it destruction to their bodies and minds.

Obviously, the teachers didn't think so.

In English class, Ms. Schultz announced that an English class would replace PE class since then. She happily smiled as if she had won a prize.

"Then, we can do two more sets of papers every week." Said Ms. Schultz.

The whole class was silent.

Since October, the weather has gradually turned cold, no longer as hot as before, but more suitable for outdoor physical education. But it was clear that the senior high school students didn't have this opportunity.

They all missed the PE teacher, Adam Cromwell. While, sadly, they couldn't take his class anymore.

While there was still a cheerful thing for them this week: the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday on Friday, after a long National Day holiday, their interests in this Mid-Autumn Festival holiday was still no decline. They were glad that the National Day holiday did not come together with the National Day holiday. Otherwise, they would have one day less.

Although there were still a few days off, many students' chat topics were about "Mid-Autumn," "Moon Cake," and so on.

After class, Louie quietly came up, "Green, I want to talk to you about something!"

"What?" Sophia turned back.

"Kevin wishes us to visit his home and make mooncakes there on Friday! You can also bring some to your mom. In this way, you don't need to buy them. I heard there are preservatives in the mooncakes."

Sophia had been reading a book and didn't join others' talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival. On hearing Louie's words, she just realized that it would be Kevin alone at this Mid-Autumn Festival.

"If I accompany Kevin, he would be happy, right?" She thought.

"Okay! I will see you on Friday." She nodded.

"Fine. I'll have the necessaries ready and wait for you!" Louie said with a smile.

Sophia found that the relationship between Delgado and Kevin had been getting better and better. They spent a lot of time together. And Delgado visited Kevin's house a lot. Delgado gave her a bag of cookies when he came by yesterday, saying it was made with Kevin.

While they were talking, a head poked over, "I want to go, too! You are about to leave us alone, boss?"

Sophia looked up and met Melissa's sad eyes.

"About that… You should ask Kevin if he wants to invite you to his home." Sophia smiled, "Isn't he, your deskmate?"

Everly frowned, "My deskmate is so eccentric. He just invites you rather than me! I am unhappy!"

"I can invite you. Though it's Kevin's home, I can invite you. I'll talk to him later. I don't think he will disagree!" Louie said with a smile.

"Really?" Melissa was surprised.

"Really."
