Chapter 429: Chapter 252: Half-Brother, Marcus Shaw Discovers the Truth [Second Update]
The cat he brought along was also obedient, just lying on the windowsill, basking in the sun, mostly motionless, occasionally yawning lazily.
"Hello, teacher, we’re here to pick up the child."
Just a few minutes past six, there were visitors.
Oliver Scott knocked first, then politely greeted the teacher.
Marcus Shaw, who came with him, was much colder. He glanced at the teacher indifferently and then strode towards Andrew Hughes.
"Marcus Shaw."
Upon hearing the commotion, Andrew Hughes looked up. Seeing Marcus Shaw’s figure, his eyes lit up slightly, but his tone remained as cool as ever.
Marcus Shaw walked over, picked up the small backpack from the sickbed, and said, "Let’s go."
"Oh."
Andrew Hughes agreed.
First, he closed the exercise book, then put the pencil, eraser, and pencil sharpener into the pencil case, picked up the exercise book and pencil case.
Marcus Shaw opened the small backpack, offered it to him, and he put the two items inside.
The two of them cooperated seamlessly.
Andrew Hughes jumped off the stool, then carried the stool back to its original place, grabbed Rose sleeping by the window, and ran to Marcus Shaw’s side, voluntarily holding Marcus Shaw’s hand.
He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Where are we going?"
"To find the teacher."
Marcus Shaw looked down at him, but his gaze fixed on Rose.
"Oh."
Noticing his gaze, Andrew Hughes felt a bit guilty and lowered his head, staring at the ground.
"Kids these days, little mischief-makers, need to be watched carefully," the on-duty doctor sighed while looking at Andrew Hughes and then said to Oliver Scott, "Did you notify his parents? Make sure to teach him well after going back; it’s not good to make it a habit to run off."
"Hmm."
Oliver Scott smiled gently, his attitude polite and mild, but his answer somewhat perfunctory.
With parents watching, he wouldn’t come looking for Marcus Shaw.
However, there was no need to mention this.
The on-duty doctor didn’t say much, just warned about Andrew Hughes’s scrapes, then let them leave.
...
"Did you two get called to see parents?"
Not far from leaving the infirmary, Andrew Hughes asked the two of them.
Oliver Scott paused, pondering how to answer.
But Marcus Shaw responded decisively, "Yeah."
Saying "Oh," Andrew Hughes asked, "Was it all Nora?"
The word "all" made Marcus Shaw pause slightly; he didn’t answer immediately but seemed to anticipate something, glancing at Oliver Scott on the side.
Oliver Scott lowered his head, avoiding Marcus Shaw’s gaze, scratched his nose lightly, and then looked at Andrew Hughes.
"Did you come to find Marcus?" Oliver Scott deliberately changed the topic.
"No," Andrew Hughes shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed on Oliver Scott, seriously saying, "I came to find you."
"Huh?"
Oliver Scott raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I wanted to ask you about a question," Andrew Hughes explained, pausing, then adding a bit discontentedly, "The teacher doesn’t know."
"..."
Oliver Scott was stunned for a moment.
Then he concluded incredulously, "So, you didn’t know how to solve a problem, the teacher couldn’t help, so you snuck out of kindergarten and sneaked into our school?"
"Yes."
Andrew Hughes nodded, showing agreement with Oliver Scott’s logic.
"Oh," Oliver Scott rubbed his cheek, then turned his head, winking at Marcus Shaw silently asking, "Did you also teach him this?"
"..."
Marcus Shaw understood but didn’t respond.
He certainly didn’t teach such behavior.
Looking down, he asked Andrew Hughes, "Why?"
"What?"
Andrew Hughes asked curiously.
Too puzzled to know where to start questioning, Marcus Shaw thought briefly, then directly said, "Tell me about your process."
"...Oh."
Andrew Hughes blinked and ed his "process" truthfully.
The issue began when he encountered a difficult problem and asked the teacher. The teacher already thought he was aloof and didn’t like him. Seeing it was an Olympiad math problem, the teacher thought he was teasing, not only refused to teach him but also criticized him.
Afterward, Andrew Hughes felt it was pointless. After lunch, when the kids were napping, he sneaked out of kindergarten.
He first went to the fruit store, asked Marcus Shaw if he could pick him up. At that time, Marcus Shaw hadn’t seen the message, so after playing with Rose for a while, he carried his small backpack to the gate of First Affiliated High School to wait.
Unexpectedly, Rose slipped into the school. Helpless, Andrew Hughes distracted the guard’s attention, then taking advantage of his "height advantage," sneaked into the campus.
The school was too big; he got lost and took pictures of nearby buildings to send to Marcus Shaw, arranging to meet downstairs.
Confusedly, Rose also ended up there. When Andrew Hughes arrived, someone was bullying Rose, and in a rush to protect her, he got into a dispute with them.
——Diplomacy before force.
He first verbally stopped them, but when it didn’t work, he resorted to action.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have Marcus Shaw’s prowess. Even though he struck first, stepping on them twice, it didn’t hurt.
After hearing Andrew Hughes’s complete narration, Marcus Shaw frowned slightly, clearly annoyed with the kindergarten teacher and the person from the neighboring class.
Meanwhile, Oliver Scott seemed utterly shocked.
——Is this kid going to defy gravity?
During the story, Andrew Hughes remained calm throughout.
He glossed over the teacher’s dislike for him, as if used to it, not caring;
Handled matters with composure and order, didn’t rashly come to the school but waited at the fruit store, knowing to message Marcus Shaw;
After Rose was lost, he didn’t panic. Instead, he calmly thought of a strategy, sneaked in avoiding the guard’s eyes to search himself;
Even when lost, he didn’t panic, knowing to take pictures of landmark buildings and send them to Marcus Shaw, then waited under the buildings for Marcus Shaw to find him;
...
Every move, and thinking pattern, was so calm and mature, unlike a child.
What kind of education does his detective grandpa usually give him?
"Will Nora scold you guys?"
Dry-mouthed from speaking, Andrew Hughes circled back to the topic.
Oliver Scott confidently answered, "No."
At this moment, Marcus Shaw suddenly turned his head, glancing coldly at him.
Oliver Scott instantly felt a chill.
Marcus Shaw halted his steps.
Immediately, Andrew Hughes and Oliver Scott both stopped.
They stood in the corridor, just a little further to the office they were headed to.
Pulling Andrew Hughes aside, Marcus Shaw stood him to the side, then focused intently on Oliver Scott, approaching him.
Instinctively, Oliver Scott took half a step back.
Strangely, he felt guilty...
Clearly, he had informed this little dense one at the first moment.
Clearly, it was the little dense one who didn’t get it all along.
Oliver Scott consoled himself this way.
With an indifferent expression, Marcus Shaw slightly furrowed his brow, "Did you write Nora’s contact too?"
"Ah."
Instinctively, Oliver Scott wanted to touch his nose again but resisted.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Marcus Shaw’s cold eyes had an additional meaning of scrutiny, "Why?"
