What Was Worth A Heart

Chapter 27 - The Xi Family Funeral

"Forget about the formula. Now how should I repay you three?" Shao Long pushed away the subject.

"Three? As in me, the investor and the owner of Mo Ye?"

"Who else? Anyway, this weekend, students are allowed to go outside right?"

"Yes. I heard from Livio that your hairdryer broke. You can buy a new one this weekend".

"I will. Oh, and thank you, Principle Evan. You don't know how much of a help you've been. I'll call you later for any update" and that's how their conversation ended that day.

🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

What Shao Long didn't know was the fact that right after the phone call, Principle Evan sighed, mumbling quietly to himself "What help have I been to him? I couldn't even save him?........."

"What was that?" Godfreg asked as he caught him mumbling.

"Nothing nothing" Evan sighed. Godfreg shrugged it off and focused on his computer instead. He was still fixing the school system that was all jumbled up from the virus. Since the document that was affected are too much to count, it took him more than a day to deal with it.

Evan pinched his nose in frustration before glancing at Godfreg. This assistant of his isn't married yet, if he remembered correctly. He was already old enough for a relationship. With that look, he could've hooked up with any girl he wanted, especially with his decent personality......

"Say, Godfreg, why aren't you married yet?" Evan asked with a frown. Godfreg was taken aback from this question, and scratched the back of his neck.

"Why, huh? I'm not too sure, I'm just not interested about getting into a relationship" he answered.

"That's odd. Aren't you supposed to have taken a fancy on that girl we met in Norway?"

"Which one? The blonde or the brunette?"

"Blonde one! Her name's Sophia, right? Aren't you still in contact with her?"

"Her? She changed her number apparantly. I can't reach her anymore. In any case, Sophia and I aren't in a relationship, nor am I sexually attracted to her, or anyone in particular".

"You're so boring!" Evan huffed in annoyance, crossing his arms. Godfreg rolled his eyes with a smile and went back to his work.

It was quiet for some minutes now.

"....say, how'd you feel about adopting children?" Evan suddenly asked. He apparantly surprised himself by asking this. All he knew was that Godfreg always treated children with great care. He got along well with them too.

"Children?" Godfreg raised his brow in suspicion "What do you mean adopting children? I can't take care of them like this at work".

Evan frowned "Then what if you are able to, given the circumstances?"

"You want to fire me?!" Godfreg widened his eyes in shock. Abruptly, he stood up and dashed to Evan's desk "What did I do?!"

"I'M nOT fIRIng YoUR AsS YoU BIg oAF" Evan exclaimed, a vein popping on his forehead. He was smirking his annoyed smirk, face red in frustration. Why was it so damn hard to talk to this guy.

"Phew. That's a relief. Well, if I'm a normal person living in the city without being tied to anything, I think adopting children wouldn't be too bad of an idea, but I still love working here, so that's not gonna happen" Godfreg walked over to his seat like nothing happened, which kind of pissed Evan off more.

"Well then.......what if those children are teenagers? And they're able to study here? Would you do it?" Evan suddenly thought up of a crazy plan, if you know what I mean....
