"It's just asking you, Teacher, to stay with me for one night," Xaviar quickly explained: "Aunt Tara lives at the Thompson Manor, and I have to go to a taekwondo competition tomorrow, so tonight I won't return to the Thompson Manor. I'll stay at my dad's apartment in Jiangnan Yi Pin instead."
"Young master, you can't just not return to the Thompson Manor," Aunt Tara interjected with some anxiety: "The Old Madam specifically instructed that after bringing you to see your grandmother, you must be taken back."
"But I have a taekwondo competition tomorrow, and I don't want to run back and forth." Xaviar made excuses for himself.
"It won't work. Even with the competition tomorrow, you can't stay in the city. We'll just bring you to the city tomorrow." Aunt Tara's tone was especially firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Aunt Tara, please?" Xaviar's tone softened: "I'm just staying at my dad's place, not at some stranger's house, what's there to worry about?"
