Payne and Taylor were in middle school, so there were some tests and fees to be arranged before they could enroll in the private school. Tuition was also relatively expensive.
But because it was Myles who asked for a favor, Marquis was very straightforward about the tuition. He would help Mia and her siblings apply for reimbursement of all expenses from relevant government departments until they reached adulthood.
In other words, some of the school fees would not be charged until Mia became an adult.
Yanis didn't expect Myles to find such a good private school.
After talking with Marquis, Yanis didn't immediately agree. After all, this kind of school had high requirements. She still needed to ask Myles and Mitch for their opinions before making a decision.
Although it was for Mia's own good, they still had the right to choose. Yanis did not want to make decisions that included their future without their input.
Marquis was also easy-going and told her to go back and ask the kids' opinions first before explaining some of the rules of the school with Yanis.
In a short period of time, Yanis understood all the procedures as well as school rules.
By then it was almost dinner time when they finished chatting.
Yanis looked at Marquis and offered, " Mr. Lamb, let's have dinner together later since we're already at mealtime."
Marquis raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "Miss Thompson, I can't eat with you today because I made an appointment with my sister. She will get angry if I stand her up."
Yanis nodded understandingly, "It's okay; we can arrange it for another time when Myles is back."
Marquis agreed, "Sure thing. Let's wait till Myles comes back, then we'll set up another date."
The two left while chatting outside the teahouse.
"Marquis!"
A girl's voice came over from one side,
When Marquis heard this voice, he smiled widely, "Why are you here so soon?"
"I'm afraid you couldn't wait any longer."
Just as Yanis wanted to say goodbye, she looked up towards where Libby stood in front of Marquis, which caused her confusion, "Miss Lamb?"
Libby also felt surprised, "Miss Thompson?"
Marquise looked between them both confusedly ,"Do you know each other?"
Libby nodded, "Of course. When Mila got engaged, Miss Thompson made all the jewelry that I wore. They were very beautiful."
Yanis didn't expect that Myles to turn to someone who was actually Libby's brother.
"Brother, do you know Miss Thompson, too?"
Marquis said, "A friend introduced us and we talked about some things."
Libby didn't ask much more and said, "Miss Thompson, my brother and I are going to eat together. Wanna join us?"
Yanis wanted to refuse, but Libby had already picked up her phone and said, "I'll text Mila too, so she can come over."
Before Yanis could even refuse, Libby had already arranged everything.
"Mila says she'll be here soon," Libby looked at Yanis.
Yanis nodded and said politely, "Thank you for the invitation."
Libby replied with a smile on her face, "No problem at all! It's boring just eating with my brother anyway; he doesn't talk during meals, which is really dull!"
"It was you who told me not to talk while eating."
"I never did such a thing!" Libby stuck out her tongue at Marquis, but he didn't argue any further.
Yanis didn't know how to reply to Libby for a moment.
Libby then added, "It's okay. Once you get to know him, you will find that he's a really nice guy."
Yanis opened her mouth several times, but nothing came out. She forced a smile at Libby.
Fortunately, the car soon arrived at the parking lot outside Banyan Garden.
Yanis parked the car. "Let's go down first."
Libby said, "OK, Mila and they should be here."
Mila came with Ivan and a young man Yanis didn't know.
"Yanis." When Mila saw Yanis, she waved at him.
Yanis nodded in response.
Ivan looks at Yanis. "How did you meet Libby's brother?"
Yanis whispered the story.
Ivan nodded. "Well, Manches City is so small, it's full of the same people."
Yanis responded, "It's a little small."
Ivan talked casually to Yanis and thought of something. He looked at Yanis and said, "Darin is coming to Manches City in two days. Would you like to meet him then?"
"Mr. Walsh is coming to Manches City? Fo the exhibition?"
Ivan laughed. "Can he still hold exhibitions every day? Just come and have a look around, mainly to woo you."
