Falling For My Mysterious Wife by Cassidy Alfaro novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271

Jalen also seemed to recognize Kent. He had not interacted with Kent before. But he had investigated Kent’s stepmother for Elaina, so he also knew something about the boy.

Seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate, Jalen said, “Ella, don’t worry. Let’s sit down to have a good talk.”

After that, he reached out to call the waiter over and ordered a quiet room.

Kent did not want to follow them, but under Elaina’s gaze, he had no choice but to go.

In the private room, the three of them sat down. After Jalen ordered some dishes, he looked at Kent and said, “Tell us, what is the reason for dropping out of school?”

Sensing that Jalen and Elaina were both looking at him, Kent sighed helplessly and finally told them the reason.

His stepmother was in prison. Jason felt that he was the cause, so Jason disliked Kent very much. Later, Jason did not even pay him tuition fees or living expenses. Kent had no choice but to drop out of school and work.

“You are only sixteen years old. Do you want to work like this for the rest of your life?” Though Elaina was annoyed, she knew that it was not easy for him, so she suppressed her anger.

“I don’t want to, but I have no choice.” Kent shook his head.

He was in his teens. He had no income. He did not even have money for food. How could he continue his studies?

“You are a child worker. Can the owner of this shop accept you?” Jalen asked. There should not be a boss who would make such a mistake.

Hearing this, Kent was clearly a little flustered. “I… I lied about my age.”

Generally, this kind of restaurant wouldn’t be strict with the affirmation of workers’ ages. Workers could lie about their age and say that their ID card was lost. Almost no one would question whether it was true or not.

“Go back to school. You don’t have to worry about tuition.” Elaina looked at him. Although she was angry, she also felt distressed.

Kent bit his lip. He did not agree.
