Chapter 40 Eileen, You Must Be Adopted Too!

Elm kicked the fat kid who was sitting next to Eileen while he was sleeping, causing him to be stunned. He then sat next to Eileen, “Go away.” The fat kid was from a nouveau riche family that had made their fortune from livestock farming, and he spent most of his time napping, There was usually a puddle of saliva on his papers.

When the fat kid realized it was Elm, he shook his head and promptly made room for him. Elm dragged a chair and settled down beside Eileen. His other hand was in a plaster cast, drawing attention to the limited edition sneakers of a well-known brand that he was wearing. Elm asked Eileen, “Do you know Vera?”

Eileen stopped writing and replied, “Yes, my dad adopted her, and the person named Eric she mentioned earlier was also adopted by my dad. They’re not related to me by blood.”

Charlie said with a teasing smile, “So many of your siblings are adopted, Eileen… you must be adopted too!”

Eileen ignored her comment. Elm lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful, and then he kicked Eileen’s calf, asking. “Why the hell are you asking her this?”

Eileen frowned, “I don’t want to know about this, so what do you want? Elm If you want me to help you pursue Vera, I’m sorry, but I can’t do this. Your relationship with her has nothing to do with me. I have no right to help you… Now that the college entrance examination is coming, you should focus on your studies.”

Elm was taken aback by Eileen’s response. He really wanted to chase Vera, but Eileen did not know what Elm was thinking about asking her to help.

Elm smiled with a hint of coldness in his eyes, thinking to himself…

Who are you to judge me? Who do you think you are, huh?

He kicked her table leg again, demanding. I’m asking you if you want to help me.”

Eileen frowned and looked at him, “I don’t have time, I’m not gonna help!”
