The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 72

Chapter 72

The weekend rolled around, and school was out.

Although the students from Class Eighteen weren’t supposed to have any days off, Vivienne decided to let them enjoy the weekend like normal students because they had progressed much faster than she had anticipated.

On this day off, Dorian and Cordelia were heading back to the Wilson family’s home.

Some kind of trouble had come up in Cordelia’s household, but she didn’t go into specifics. She only mentioned that it was inconvenient to take Thaddeus with them and asked Vivienne to look after him for the day.

Cordelia had prepped both breakfast and lunch. All Vivienne had to do was warm them up.

Vivienne didn’t have any experience with kids. She only hung out with Thaddeus occasionally. They played with toys together.

After playing with Thaddeus for half an hour, he got bored. “Sis, I don’t want to play with toys anymore.”

“What do you want to play then?’ Vivienne asked. She didn’t have a happy childhood and wasn’t sure what kids his age generally liked to play.

Thaddeus hesitated. He looked down, not daring to speak up.

Despite his sister being quite gentle, he was always scared of her for reasons he couldn’t pinpoint.

He was afraid that if he made an excessive request, his sister would get angry.

His mom had told him to always listen to his sister and never make her angry.

“Are you scared of me?” Vivienne sat next to him, reaching out to gently pat his head, trying to make her voice sound as soft as possible.

I’m not scared!” Thaddeus muttered hesitantly.

He didn’t want to lie, but he also didn’t want to make his sister feel sad by telling the truth.
