Chapter 97


    Chapter 97 We’re Not That Close


    The interior design of the rooms appeared simple and reserved, but a professional could easily tell that


    the cost to it was on the higher end. With three rooms and two living halls, this ce was rtively


    spacious. As soon as Gianna entered the house, she said, “Mr. Nn, please make yourself


    comfortable. We will get dinner ready.”


    Upon expressing his approval, Ss took a seat on the couch, but when he saw Landon was on the


    phone ying games, he urged, “Go and help out in the kitchen!” Gritting his teeth, Landon said, “But


    Uncle Ss, I don’t know how.” “All the more reason to learn it!” Ignoring Landon’sints, Ss


    drove him into the kitchen. With that, Ss and South were left in the living room alone. In fact, Ss


    deliberately wanted some time alone with him and to ask him what seemed to be the matter. However,


    South was just ying games on his phone,pletely ignoring him, not even sparing a nce. Sitting


    right opposite of South, Ss noticed that this little fellow’s hand reflexes were extraordinary! Kids


    nowadays are that skillful? he thought. Out of curiosity, he asked, “Do you y games often?” Without


    lifting his head, South replied, “Yeah.” “How old were you when you started ying?” “Can’t


    remember.”


    Drawing in a deep breath, Ss was sure that this little fellow had something against him. “Are you not


    happy today?” “No.”


    Puzzled, Ss had no idea how tomunicate with this little guy. Usually, he wouldn’t get the cold


    shoulders from South, but today, his reply was exceptionally cold, short and brief. “Did I offend you or


    something?” Instead of guessing, Ss thought he might as well ask him directly. “We’re not that close


    to begin with. How will you offend me?” Struck by the words ‘not that close’ Ss was breathless with


    anger. This brat, what’s got into him? Letting out a sigh, he said, “I don’t know whether we are


    considered close, but I do treat you and your mother as a friend.” With a calm expression on his face,


    South didn’t utter another word. It wasn’t until his game ended did he raise his head and gazed into


    Ss. “Did you arrange this house for us?” Lifting an eyebrow, Ss was surprised by his quick-


    wittedness. “How did you know?”


    Casting a nce at him, South said, “Otherwise, you won’t be here. My mommy will not simply invite


    people over for dinner.” With a sullen expression, Ss questioned, “Isn’t Landon here?” | “It’s different


    with Landon because we were friends for many years. Besides, we’ve been through life and death


    together.” Gazing at Ss with disdain, South’s expression clearly showed-unlike you! With that, Ss


    had a sudden realization-a teacher’s job was indeed tough because he couldn’t even handle a single


    child. At this rate, Ss figured it was necessary to turn this enemy into an ally by mentioning what he


    had done, though initially he never intended to take the credit. “Your mom and I have been through life


    and death situations too! Otherwise, why do you think you changed houses?” Squinting his eyes, South


    asked, “What do you mean? You saved Mommy too?” With a grin, Ss was again impressed by how


    quick-witted he was. “Very clever!” “When?” “Just two days ago.” Gazing at the three people who were


    busy in the kitchen, South saw his mommy joking about something, while Landon and Kate were seen


    laughing at her joke. Then, he turned to look at Ss and asked with a stern voice, “Who did it?”


    Astonished, Ss had always seen South as a child, but now, he realized that he could actually talk to


    him like he was talking to a grownup man because South was rather matured for his age, and he


    seemed to understand many things. “Don’t worry, I’ve made sure that person was punished. You’re still


    young, so all you need to do now is focus on your studies. I’ll feel more at ease if you all moved to this


    ce.” Ss didn’t know which of his words had managed to touch South’s soft spot because from the


    little guy’s expression, he no longer showed much hostility toward him. “I’ve something I want to tell


    you. Find an excuse to take me out with you tomorrow, and don’t let Mommy suspect anything!” said


    South, in his usual arrogant manner.


    “What do you want to tell me?” Ss chuckled and thought South’s suggestion was kind of hrious..
