"No." Evelyn shook her head with certain.
Seeing this, Frederick pouted very unhappily and then snorted angrily, "Aunt, you are so annoying."
Evelyn said, "You little brat. You know nothing."
"I've told you many times that I'm very intelligent. Don't always treat me like a child and think that I don't know anything." After that, he looked at Evelyn, "Tell me. Is there anything that I don't know about you?"
"I'm not your family. I'm just your teacher. How can I live in your house?"
"But I invited you."
"Should I live here just because you invited me? Are you kidding me?"
"Shouldn't a guest suit the convenience of the host? You're in my house, so you're my guest and you should listen to me." Frederick said very naturally.
"Ha-ha..." Evelyn gave a fake laugh and then said, "You said that you were smart, but you're exactly talking nonsense."
"Anyway, that's what I mean." Frederick didn't think that there was anything improper, "I'm inviting you very sincerely. Would you like to stay?"
Evelyn looked at Frederick. After a while, she sighed helplessly, "Didn't I refuse you just now? What are you thinking about? Even if you invited me very warmly and sincerely, I could refuse you, couldn't I? I'm just your teacher, not your relative. In addition to teaching you, I have my own things to do. Moreover, I will have a boyfriend in the future, so I have to leave a good impression on my future boyfriend. I can't stay out all night."
Hearing these words, Frederick understood the general meaning, but he didn't quite understand it.
After a long while, he said, "So... as long as you become my relative, you can live here, right?"
Evelyn was choked, "Hey! I've said so much, but why don't you listen to me? Besides, I'm not your relative. Do you know that? Moreover, I won't be your relative in the future."
Frederick pursed his lips, "You're too arbitrary."
Ignoring her, Frederick said, "Isn't my brother chasing after you? He knows that you're my family teacher, so he comes here whenever he's free. Although he said that he was here to see my grandparents, other than greeting them when he first entered the house, he always stayed by your side, didn't he?"
"Even if he didn't stay by your side sometimes, he looked at you all the time." After saying this, Frederick nodded with certainty, "I saw that."
"Ahem." Evelyn laughed awkwardly, "That was your illusion."
"That was not!"
"Just listen to me! You're just a little kid and you know nothing."
"I'm not the only one who thinks so. My grandmother knows it as well, because she has a pair of piercing eyes. Besides, Lawrence told my grandmother that he likes you."
Evelyn was silent for a long while before she said, "You've misunderstood me. Lawrence and I have nothing to do with each other."
"But you often get on his car and eat the snacks he bought for you."
"You..."
Frederick put down the book and took Evelyn's hand. He looked at her very seriously and said, "Aunt, Lawrence is a very nice man. Although I don't know what you adults are thinking about, his family is very rich, and he is very handsome. Do you really not like him?" Evelyn sighed helplessly, "Frederick, this is a matter between us adults. You shouldn't worry about it. What you have to do is to eat more and learn more. Do you understand?"
Hearing it, Frederick was so dejected, "Aunt, are you looking down on me?"
Evelyn was confused. She thought, "I have talked so much to you patiently, which means that I really think highly of you, okay?" "Aunt?" "Alas! How should I put it? Maybe you won't really understand, even if I tell you. But... I may not be able to digest something that has happened between me and Lawrence in a short period of time."
"You can't digest it? Then swallow it."
"This is not something like food, okay?"
"But you ate the food that he bought for you. My grandma often tells my grandpa that gifts blind the eyes! You ate the food bought by him, but you don't like him. Aunt, you're so bad."
"Ha-ha..." Evelyn gave Frederick a fake smile and rolled her eyes at him, "I don't want to talk to you, okay? Now, please stay silent. Do you understand?"
Frederick pursed his lips, "Bad aunt!"
Evelyn did not talk to him anymore. She just regarded him as a naive and innocent child in her heart. She couldn't take a child's words very seriously, and she might as well... forget what he said. Ha-ha!
"However, aunt." Frederick was very curious to know why Evelyn didn't like Lawrence, so he didn't want to stop and asked again, "Do you think that Lawrence is not handsome enough and he can't make so so much money?"
