34. The Promise

But now the test result hadn't come out yet and the family was already on the verge of breaking points. John Davis was thoroughly frustrated that the other family members didn't seem to see this as something important.

"Mother, Brother, give Sister a chance, she's only been here for 2 days." Celeste smiled softly.

Mrs. Davis looked at her daughter helplessly. She felt that her daughter was too kind to be able to withstand having such a jinx in the home. All this time, she felt that she was the most patient one but it seemed that her daughter was better.

"You're indeed very kind, Celeste."

"I'm not, Mother."

Celeste lowered her head, acting like a soft girl who was kind and demure.

Charles pursed his lips but said nothing. He felt that he should do something about Ann just like the other adopted children. There was no way he would let them take what belonged to him and his sister!

They were so annoying!

…

School

Ann headed to her class and immediately noticed Reynard. He was sitting on his chair with his hands on the back of his head, looking like a local tyrant. In front of him was a transparent plastic bag. Everyone could see the bottle of soy milk inside that plastic bag.

"Master!" Reynard's eyes lit up when he saw Ann coming.

"You're early."

"Of course! Didn't I tell you that I'll be your disciple from now on? I'm too excited that I nearly can't sleep last night!" Reynard was excited.

However, Ann noticed that Reynard didn't have enough sleep because there was a huge dark mark under his eyes. It was impossible for him to be that excited just because she would start teaching him. The most plausible reason was that he was punished by his parents because he skipped class.

After all, it didn't look like his father had any intention of sparing him yesterday.

He deserved it, though.

"Give me the milk."

"Here, Master." Reynard didn't hesitate and handed the bottle of soymilk to Ann. His eyes were filled with interest because he wanted to know whether Ann was satisfied with this milk or not.

By the time he finished his punishment, it was already morning. Reynard knew that it would be impossible for him to sleep again, so he chose to wake up and find the best soymilk in the area.

In the end, he picked this one.

Ann took the bottle, unscrewed it, and drank the milk. The freshness of the milk entered her throat. It felt much better than those greasy foods that she ate in Davis Family Residence.

"How is it?" Reynard asked nervously. He was worried that if Ann was dissatisfied, his practice would be delayed.

"It's good." Ann nodded. "Where do you usually train?"

"At home. There's a private training room." Reynard grinned. "I'll show it to you. There is also many advance equipment there that will allow me to get stronger faster."

"Good. You should sleep now."

"Of course."

Being the local tyrant and coming from Sall Family, Reynard had no problem of sleeping in class. As he was tired after being punished by his family members, it only took a moment for him to fall asleep.

Ann looked at the textbook in front of her and sighed. She didn't like studying, but it seemed that she would have to stay here for at least another week.

Well, she should be able to withstand it if it was only a week's time.
