Chapter 433: Chapter 255: The Old Father as Temporary Guardian [Second Update]
The living room was brightly lit, filled with light.
Nora Scott sat on the long sofa, sitting in a leisurely and casual manner, holding a remote control in her hand, absentmindedly changing channels.
Andrew Hughes sat on the single sofa, sitting upright and neat, occasionally catching a glimpse of the Heavenly Immortal’s beauty out of the corner of his eye, then quickly withdrawing his gaze.
"You—"
After a long while, Nora suddenly spoke.
Andrew’s gaze immediately turned over.
With a slight frown, Nora turned her head to look at him and asked, "How to raise?"
Recounting the things Nora had done over the years: raising cats, raising dogs, raising eagles, and arguably raising "a delinquent high school student," but—
She had never raised a child.
She had no experience.
Originally, she just intended to have him stay for one night and send him back the next day. Unexpectedly, a few days passed, and Nora had to take care of his meals, his lodging, and his pick-up and drop-off... or perhaps some other things?
Usually, if someone asked Andrew Hughes such a question, he would definitely respond indifferently.
But now, the person asking him was Nora Scott.
Andrew had a strong sense of crisis—always feeling that Marcus Shaw’s sister might be "stolen away" by the eloquent and outstanding Oliver Scott.
Oliver got first in grades, Marcus did not;
Oliver was well-liked by teachers, Marcus was not;
Oliver was sensible, polite, and could say nice things, Marcus was not;
...
Any normal person would prefer Oliver Scott.
However, Marcus only had one sister, Nora, and if he didn’t maintain a good relationship with her, Marcus would be a "loner" in the future.
Marcus was not willing to take the initiative, and Andrew felt that, as Marcus’s "only friend," he should shoulder the responsibility of maintaining a good relationship with Nora and be the "bridge" between Marcus and Nora.
Therefore, facing Nora’s questions as if facing a great enemy, young Andrew Hughes, after carefully pondering for a moment, answered seriously, "I’m easy to care for."
"..."
Nora almost choked on his words.
Thankfully, her mental fortitude was strong, and her expression remained intact. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "How ’easy to care for’?"
"I’m not a picky eater."
"..." Oh, she is.
"I can wash up, bathe, and change clothes on my own."
"..."
"I can cook. Use the microwave, heat up food by myself."
"..."
"I can sleep by myself."
"..."
"I complete school assignments on time."
"..."
Andrew listed things one by one, covering every aspect of life, illustrating the concept of "independence" remarkably well.
According to what he said, if it wasn’t a lie, living alone for a day or two would be no problem at all.
After a while, Nora rubbed her chin and asked, "Is there anything you can’t do?"
"..."
Andrew blinked, momentarily stumped by Nora’s question.
After a short pause, he frowned and suspiciously said, "Drive?"
Actually, Sir Hughes had taught him the basic operations of driving, but it was only theoretical knowledge, and he hadn’t tried it himself, so, theoretically, he could "drive."
"..."
Nora felt a headache.
Where did this prodigy come from?
At this moment, there was a slight commotion outside the door, which implied that Pedro Langley had returned. Nora, feeling troubled, detected the presence of a helper and put down the remote control, got up, and walked out.
Andrew turned his head to look at her, unsure if his response satisfied her, feeling slightly worried.
But soon, his attention was caught by Rose running under the sofa, and he jumped down.
...
Nora opened the door.
In the end, what came into view was not only Pedro Langley but another figure—
At a closer look, it was Camilo Nogueira.
Pedro was standing at the door, entering the unlocking code, while Camilo stood behind him.
Hearing the commotion of the door opening on this side, both turned their heads to look over.
"Miss Scott, long time no see."
Seeing Nora, Camilo was slightly surprised but quickly regained his composure, greeting her.
He couldn’t forget to teasefully glance at Pedro Langley.
He wondered why Pedro wanted to live at Cloudwater Haven recently, thinking it was a ploy to be close to the "pavilion near the water."
Never expected that such a Heavenly Immortal beauty was actually pursued by Pedro Langley in such a mundane way.
Truly shocking.
"Hello."
Her impression of him was still decent, and Nora gave him some face.
Her gaze paused on Pedro Langley for a few seconds, noticing his unusually not-so-clear expression and the faint scent of alcohol in the air. She squinted slightly, "Did you drink?"
"A little."
Camilo took the initiative to explain.
Nora gave him another glance, her attitude instantly turning a bit cooler, "You don’t seem to have drunk."
"..."
Camilo’s heart chilled a bit.
This Heavenly Immortal’s ability to deduce from traces is a bit too remarkable, isn’t it?
