Chapter 30 A Pinky Promise


    Carlie Cutic: “Really? Audrey? The top three of the grade?” She sent an emoji which was a frightened face.


    Carlie Cutie: “She wants to go from the bottom six to the top three? With her pathetic IQ, she’s lucky she doesn’test.


    Gosh, this is the biggest joke I’ve heard all year!”


    Kel Here: “Carlie, don’t mock Audra. Perhaps she can do it indeed.”


    Carlie Cutie: “Stop defending her. She is so cocky. Well, | happen to be on the second floor of the restaurant. I''lle down right


    now to see how cheeky she is!”

    Audrey, Elise, and Rn were at the dining table.


    Elise looked at Audrey with a smile, saying, “Audra, | know you want to improve, but there’s no need to talk big. It’s not a good


    habit.”


    Rn frowned and looked at Audrey more seriously. “Audra, Elise is right. Don’t make empty promises.”


    “Agreed. Audra, you were sixth from the bottom in thest exam. It''ll be a fairytale if you can make it to the top three this time,”


    Kelsey said. with a look of disdain.


    Audrey ignored Elise and Kelsey. She looked up, her eyes innocent and pure. “Dad, just have faith in me one more time. OK?”


    The bright lights in the restaurant shone on Audrey’s head and her fair, wless face. Her long eyshes flickered, and her


    crystal-clear eyes.


    were tinged with red. It looked like she was sad, because Rn did not believe her.


    Rn couldn’t remember how long it had been since Audrey acted like a spoiled girl when she was around him.


    She grew up to be an arrogant girl who was always disobedient to him, and she would only talk to him properly when she made


    a big mistake at school.


    He knew that she was just bragging and that he ought to scold her, yet when she looked at him with her dark, watery eyes, he


    felt his heart soft a bit uncontrobly, and he could not bear to say anything harsh to her.


    He raised his slender, distinct hand and patted her head gently. “If you can move forward by a hundred in rank, | will say yes to


    anything you


    want.”


    “Really?” Audrey’s big, watery eyes gleamed with surprise. She held out her fair hand to Rn, and the two dimples at the


    corners of her mouth made her look sweet. “Dad, let’s make a pinky promise.”


    Looking at the pretentious Audrey, both Elise and Kelsey looked irritated.


    Rn indulged Audrey and let her get her way. He indeed raised his hand and made a pinky promise with her.


    Audrey wasn’t in the mood to join them for thete-night snack. She stood up and left despite Rn’s attempts to stop her.


    Then Audrey walked to the door of the restaurant and sensed a gaze on her. She looked back and saw Carlie, who was standing


    at the cash register, staring at her with a half-smile.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

    Rn was still reveling in how much more obedient Audrey seemed to be, while Elise walked up behind him and massaged his


    shoulders. “Audra fancied a limited edition men’s watch in a magazine some time. ago, and | figured that she was going to send


    it to some boy in her ss. | didn’t buy it for her, because it was too expensive. She hasn’t talked to me muchtely. Perhaps she


    has been holding a grudge because of this.”


    Rn was busy at work, and Audrey hadn’t been close to him. Elise. kept an eye on Audrey most of the time...


    Hearing Elise’s words, Rn frowned. “You mean Audra is having puppy love?” He looked at Kelsey aside. Then he asked, “Kel,


    do you know about this?”


    Kelsey looked down and said, looking too timid to tell the truth, “Rn, I... don’t know anything.”


    Elise said to Rn gently, “Don’t ask Kel about that. You know Audra better than anyone. If Kel indeed tells you something.


    Audra will surely give her a hard time. You know what? After this month’s exam results are out, we may go to the school together


    to learn more about. it.”


    Elise knew very well about Audrey’s academic performance. She figured that Audrey was talking big about making it to the top


    three. Let alone that, moving forward by a hundred in rank would be nothing but a fantasy.


    Audrey''s recent changes and Rn’s attitude toward her had Elise a little rattled.


    Elise thought, “Over my dead b*dy will | let Audrey get in the way of me marrying into the Watson family. | have to let Rn down


    completely with his stupid, loser daughter!”
