"Aryadelle? You and your grandmother are from Aryadelle?" Lucas was a little surprised.
"No. Grandma and I are from Ylore."
Lucas was even more stunned. "You guys are Ylorean, yet you all lived in a church up on a hill in Aryadelle. Now, you're living in Taronia. Did your grandmother take you around the world to work?"
Irene suddenly did not know how to explain her situation to Lucas.
After all, she also did not understand many things that happened when she was young. She would do what her grandmother had asked her to do. Wherever the old woman had gone, she had taken Irene with her.
Seeing Irene stunned and unable to reply, Lucas asked, "Do you have relatives in Ylore?"
Irene shook her head. "I don't know. Actually, I have never been to Ylore. I was born there, but ever since I could remember, I was never in Ylore."
"Then, why don't you head to Ylore to have a look?" Lucas did not want to see her that miserable, so he said, "Go and look for your relatives. What if you still have relatives?"
"Mr. Lucas, are you thinking of asking me to stay with my relatives and bother them?" Irene asked. "I'm about to be of age. I don't want to trouble anyone. Even if there are relatives who are willing to reconcile with me, I don't need a guardian."
"I'm not asking you to stay with them." Lucas stopped speaking. He was not willing to get in touch with his relatives, why would he ask Irene to look for her relatives?"
Right now, Irene was able to support herself. No one supported her, and she was not a burden to anyone. It was quite a good situation to be in.
"Mr. Lucas, this is the question I did. I have already checked the answers. Have a look." Irene pushed her homework to Lucas. "You should start studying. If not, you won't be able to get into a college…"
