Chapter 877 The Thoughtful Irvin

Alexia nodded. “Yeah. Irvin doesn’t even let me play with those boys!” Elise’s lips twitched awkwardly at her words. She was at a loss for what to say. They were so young yet strangely resilient.

She was about to open her mouth to say something when Irvin stood up and said while turning to the door, “Mom, please take us to The Spine Mine. I want to buy something.”

Elise saw an out from the conversation and took it. So, she shrugged, held Alexia’s hand, and followed him. At 6.00PM, the driver took Chubs and Specky to Alexander’s residence.

“Hi, you’re here! Welcome,” Elise went downstairs and greeted them warmly. “You must be hungry. Do any of you want some snacks? I’ll get them for you.”

“Yes! Yes!” Chubs nodded happily.

However, Irvin’s dispassionate voice rang from upstairs.

“No, they won’t be having anything.”

Chubs and Specky had just managed to locate Irvin and only received another stern command for their efforts.

“Come upstairs immediately.”

Chubs puffed his cheeks in aggravation. He gripped his school bag as he defiantly followed behind Specky and slowly trudged up the stairs.

As soon as they entered the room, Irvin shoved a pile of books into Chubs’ arms.

The tower of books completely blocked Chubs’ sight, and he could barely see his way. In fact, the books were so heavy that he began to wobble.

Specky swallowed nervously upon the sight, then Irvin threw him a pair of headphones.

“Take this and use the computer. I’ve downloaded a vocabulary game. You must pass all the levels in a week,” Irvin instructed.

“That’s not fair!” Chubs poked his head out from behind the pile of books, and his face flushed red with anger. “Why do I have to do so much homework when he can play games?”

“Have you ever heard of a phrase that says, ‘the early bird catches the worm’?” Irvin rebuked coldly. “Are you questioning my methods? So, what I say doesn’t count?”
