Chapter 445: 163: His person, he dotes on them_5
“Alright.”
After helping Edward into the living room, he finally sobered up a bit and rubbed his head. “Why is home so quiet? Where are mom and grandma?”
Sylvia replied, “They went to River City to accompany Viola during her college entrance examination.”
Upon hearing this, Edward frowned.
Do people need company during the College Entrance Examination?
Is Viola that delicate?
Sylvia continued, “If I had known that grandma and mom were going to River City to be with Viola, I would’ve asked my mentor for some time off too. After all, the College Entrance Examination is a major event in life, and I don’t know if Viola would be mad at me for not being there!”
With just one sentence, Sylvia depicted Viola as a mean and unreasonable sister.
Edward already had his grievances about Viola, and this statement made him even more unhappy. “The College Entrance Examination relies on one’s ability, not the number of people who accompany them. If she’s not skilled enough, even if our whole family goes, she won’t be admitted to any good university!”
“Brother, don’t say that. I believe Viola can do well.” Then Sylvia added, “Maybe she’ll even surpass me!”
Edward burst into laughter.
Surpass Sylvia?
How is that possible!
It must be noted that Sylvia scored in the top ten of the city back then.
Viola?
Scoring in the top one hundred would be considered good!
Not everyone could become Sylvia.
Viola certainly couldn’t!
On the other side.
At ten o’clock in the evening, the plane landed on time at River City Airport.
The driver had been waiting outside the airport for a long time.
After an hour’s journey, the two finally arrived at the residential area where Viola lived.
Mantou, the cat, excitedly meowed continuously upon arriving at the residential area.
Mrs. Thompson laughed, “Mary, look! Mantou recognizes this place!”
Mary nodded.
As expected from the cat raised by Viola, it’s quite perceptive.
Cats have poor memory compared to dogs. If a dog gets lost, it may find its way back home.
But cats won’t.
Over time, cats might not even remember their owners.
Soon, the two reached the door.
Mary reached out and pressed the doorbell.
Viola, who had just finished showering and hadn’t gone to bed yet, was puzzled by the doorbell and went to open the door.
“Viola!”
“Mom!”
Seeing her mother and grandma, Viola was overjoyed. “Mom, you and grandma came over without telling me in advance? I would’ve picked you up.”
“No need, no need,” Mrs. Thompson waved her hand, “We have a car. It’s very convenient!”
Mary laughed, “It takes more than two hours to get here and back. We can just drive ourselves.”
Right now, the most important thing for Viola is to review and rest.
“You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I’ll cook some noodles for you.” Viola continued.
Recalling the noodles Viola cooked last time, Mrs. Thompson immediately said, “No need, Viola. Your mom and I have eaten on the plane. We’re not hungry at all.”
Mary nodded, “Yeah, Viola, you don’t have to worry. We’re not hungry.”
Since both of them said they weren’t hungry, Viola went to tidy up the room.
Mary followed her.
Mother and daughter tidied up the bedding together, chatting and laughing, enjoying the rare, warm moments.
Looking at her daughter standing in front of her, Mary felt all kinds of emotions.
Despite the passing of time, all of this still felt like a dream to her.
Only when she was truly looking at her daughter could she believe that her daughter had indeed returned.
Time flew by quickly.
It was finally the national college entrance examination day.
June 7th.
Early in the morning, Mary got out of bed to cook.
She moved very quietly, so as not to wake Viola.
In order to accompany Viola during the examination, Mary had specially taken the time to learn some cooking skills from the chef at home.
So, these days, it was Mary who cooked.
After preparing the meal, she checked the time and went to wake Viola up.
“Viola, it’s time to get up.”
Viola had just woken up too. “Alright, mom.”
She lay in bed for about two more minutes before getting up, turning off the air conditioner, and starting to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Then, she picked up her school uniform and put it on.
North Bridge High School’s summer uniform was quite stylish, with a white blouse and pleated skirt, paired with knee-length socks and white sneakers, full of youth.
Viola’s legs were long and straight, like the legs of a model. Wearing the school uniform, she looked stunning, with the only downside being that it was inconvenient for fighting.
As soon as Viola walked out of her room, breakfast was already set on the dining table.
