"No."
"It must be!" Frederick nodded with certainty and smiled mischievously, as if he was saying, "I knew I was right."
Evelyn only felt that she was going to have a nervous breakdown. She really wanted to rush out recklessly.
As a beautiful twenty-year-old girl who was about to graduate from university and start a new life in this society, she was actually being questioned by a five-year-old kid in this room...
Come on! What a shame!
Moreover, Frederick knew nothing about her!
He was a child who always ran away from home. What right and position did he have to meddle in her affairs? If he went out of the house, he couldn't even be able to eat breakfast the next morning. But he was actually caring about her love affairs?
What exactly did he know about her? Why did he have the courage and confidence to say so?
"Do you want me to comment on you homework or not? If you don't want, I'll go back now." She didn't bother to talk to him!
"Of course I want. Aren't you my family teacher?"
"Then... just shut up from now on, okay?"
Frederick glanced at Evelyn helplessly, and then shook off her hand in disgust, "Aunt, don't always speak English while talking to me, okay? My English is good and I know what you mean, but... this is really not cool. Do you understand?"
"You..." Evelyn was chocked off and laughed dryly, "I... just want to improve your English, don't I?"
"Bah!"
"Hurry up! Look at your homework!" It was getting dark, and she needed to finish the design draft after she went back.
"In fact, this is a very simple question. You can recite the multiplication tables, can't you? If you can't, open your book to have a look now. Read it several times and then recite it."
"Aunt, I could recite it a long time ago." "Don't look at me like that. Just now, I told you that the homework is done by my stupid classmate, not me."
"Correct it yourself." The earlier she finished her work, the earlier she could go back.
"Aunt." Frederick spun the pen, "Tell me. Why don't you like Lawrence? If you like him, you will be my relative. In that case, you can live here."
Evelyn was speechless. Why did Frederick mention this topic again? Could he just focus on his homework obediently?
"Aunt?"
Evelyn thought for a moment and then said, "Frederick, don't forget that Lawrence doesn't live in your house. Even if I like him and become his girlfriend, I can't live in your house in the future. Understand?"
Hearing this, Frederick kept silent for a long while.
Evelyn curled her lips, thinking smugly that she had solved this problem perfectly.
But... when Frederick raised his head, she couldn't be happy anymore.
At this time, Frederick was looking at him with misty eyes. When she had a closer look, she found that his eyes were brimming with tears. He pursed his lips and looked at Evelyn with a face full of grievances and sadness. Seeing him like this, Evelyn panicked all of a sudden.
"Alas! What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
She didn't do anything to him. Didn't he say that he wanted her to be his relative? Didn't she just tell him the truth? Why did he start to cry?
