Chapter 1901


    With that, Robert led the way with his skateboard.


    The teacher stepped out of the pavilion, limping.


    "You are a cripple?" The bodyguard was a straightforward man and questioned curiously.


    The teacher had never seen anyone so insensitive and was utterly shocked. However, since he was


    the bodyguard of the Foster family, she dared not lose her temper.


    "I just twisted my ankle. I''m not a cripple."


    "How professional. You are still working even though you twisted your ankle," the bodyguard


    eximed.


    She was not sure if she wanted to burst out crying orughing. "You''ve misunderstood. I twisted my


    ankle on my way here this morning.”


    "Oh..." Once he had learned what had happened, he grabbed the teacher''s arm and threw it across


    his shoulder so that her weight was mostly on him.


    She panicked and gaped. Her jaw dropped, but no words came out. Walking felt slightly


    ufortable after she had twisted her ankle, but she had expected the bodyguard would at least


    ask before actually touching her.


    "Doesn''t he know that a gentleman shouldn''t touch ady?" she thought.


    "Why are you staring at me like that? I thought you were a teacher. Don''t you have any manners?"


    He red at her. "Thest person who stared at me like that ended up a cripple."


    Her blood ran cold and she shivered as she turned away. "I- I can walk on my own... You don''t need


    to help me..." She could not stand the rough, brooding presence of the bodyguard.


    Seeing that she did not appreciate his kindness, he released her immediately.


    Robert took off on his skateboard and turned his head around to look at them in the distance. "Hurry


    up! Why are you so slow?" He pouted and urged as he desperately wanted to go ahead and check


    if his sister was awake.


    The bodyguard heard him and, without a moment of hesitation, lifted the teacher up and marched


    forward.


    The teacher froze, not daring to move at all. Though it was an awkward position that she was in,


    being carried was indeed far easier than walking herself.

    They arrived at Elliot''s mansion >h.=SMT< the bodyguard immediately set the teacher down.


    "Can''t you mention that you twisted your ankle to Robert on the phone just now?" The bodyguard


    was sweating profusely as heined.


    The teacher blushed. "Was I supposed to demand that you pick me up with a car?


    How embarrassing would that be."


    "And it''s not embarrassing to be carried all the way here?"


    "I didn''t ask you to. I could have walked on my own."


    "But you were about as slow as a turtle," the bodyguard retorted. "The sun is shining blight. It’s fine


    by me if you get a bit of the sun, but what if our little master gets a tan?"


    Mrs. Cooper came over with a ss of water and gave it to the teacher.


    "George, you ought to be more polite when you talk to a teacher. You seem pretty young. Miss,


    must have recently graduated, right?" Mrs. Cooper gestured for the teacher to take a seat.


    "Yes. I studied overseas and have just graduated and returned home earlier this year." The teacher


    epted the ss and took a sip. "I didn’t expect this area to be so big. I’ve been wandering


    around for half an hour and I still couldn’t find my way."


    "You might not be familiar with Aryadelle since you''ve been away. This area is, indeed, quite big and


    it would be a hassle to navigate your way here without a car." "I see. Is La still asleep?" the


    teacher asked.


    "Let me go up and check."


    Mrs. Cooper went upstairs to La''s room and woke her up. "La, your ss teacher is here for a


    visit. I think she’s a new teacher."


    La rubbed her eyes. "What visit? No one told me about it."


    "The new teacher says that she couldn''t get in touch with your dad. He has probably turned his


    phone off. Why don’t you head downstairs first?"
