Revenge After rebirth novel Chapter 12

Mayra let out a sigh. What a dummy. With his gaze fixed on the scenery outside, Gordan said, "From now on, pay attention in class. After school, I'll wait for you at the school gate. I'll help you with your revision."

Mayra couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt, but she still accepted the apology letter. Somewhere along the line, she seemed to have started taking Gordan's kindness for granted.

Mayra asked, "Are meals provided?"

"Yes. What do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine, as long as it's made by you."

Gordon's life had always been rough, so he had to learn to be self-reliant. In this sense, he was quite similar to Anderson, as they were both extremely independent people.

Before Anderson returned to the Barlow family, they, too, had been through difficult times. That said, he always treated her well and never let her suffer or starve.

After escaping from the orphanage fire, they were forced to live on the streets for a while. It wasn't until she was a little older that she realized how hard it was for Anderson to raise her.

Since then, she slowly started to take care of him. She learned how to cook and clean to reduce Anderson's burden.

Besides her own biological family, no one had the responsibility to raise her. Deep down, Mayra was always aware that the reason Anderson took her under his wing was because her father had once saved his life.

Now that Anderson had returned to the Barlow family and assumed the role of the Everton Corporation's heir, they were destined to be people from different worlds.

In her past life, she had tried Gordan's cooking before. It was exquisite and was on par with Michelin-starred chefs. Even when he rose to success, he continued to learn new dishes and would always cook for her.

Upon arriving at school and getting off the bus, Gordon deliberately slowed his pace and followed behind her.

Mayra headed to her classroom for her morning class and then made her way to the teacher's office to hand in the apology letter. Her homeroom teacher, Ms. Nina glanced at it briefly, not noticing anything amiss.

She asked, "Are you aware of the upcoming parent-teacher meeting after the mock exams?"

Mayra felt her heart sink.

"It's mandatory that all parents attend. However, I'm aware of your situation, so try and have your brother come if possible. If he really can't make it, then you can just take that day off.

"But remember, you must perform well in the upcoming mock exam, understand? Focus more on your studies."

Mayra replied with a nod, "I understand, Ms. Nina."

"You may return to your morning class."

As soon as Mayra stepped into the classroom and set her bag down, Emily immediately hurried over.

She said apologetically, "Mayra, Gordan suddenly called me last night. Don't get mad, but I accidentally told him about your situation. He offered me two vouchers for a barbecue restaurant and I just couldn't resist."

To her surprise, Mayra calmly took out her books from her bag and replied nonchalantly, "It's fine. I have to thank you instead."

Emily was taken aback. "Thank me? Why would you need to thank me? Did you and Gordan get together?" Mayra simply remained silent.

Emily continued, "To be honest, I think you and Gordan would make a great couple. The two of you are just like the characters in a romance novel that I recently read. Do you wanna see it? I'll send you the link."

Mayra shook her head. "No thanks. I'm not interested in such things."

Emily's greatest hobby was reading novels. In her past life, she was one of the best-selling authors, and all her novels topped the charts.

Despite not making it into university, the royalties she got from her novels brought her considerable wealth. She became the top romance novelist and money was never a concern for her.

Throughout the day, Mayra diligently took notes. She didn't let her mind wander and paid full attention in class. Overall, she had quite a fulfilling day.
