Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249: Marie's Pursuer

"This is just a small favor, there's no need for a meal..."

Before Chris Shelby could finish, Marie insisted, "Mr. Shelby, you must come! My parents always say that one should repay kindness with gratitude. You've helped me so much, I don't know how else to thank you but to treat you to a meal. If you refuse, I won't feel comfortable asking for your help in the future."

"Alright, alright, I'll come over now!"

Hearing Marie's words, Chris Shelby felt it was impolite to refuse. Since Harold Jefferson had the day off, Chris Shelby invited him along. After all, it wouldn't look good for a man and a woman to meet alone frequently.

Chris Shelby drove with Harold Jefferson to East Coast University. Before long, they arrived at the university gate. Marie was already waiting there.

"Mr. Shelby! Brother!"

Seeing Chris Shelby and Harold Jefferson arrive, Marie greeted them with a happy smile.

Chris Shelby asked Marie, "Marie, has anyone been bothering you at school lately? Has Madison given you any trouble?"

Marie shook her head and said, "Mr. Shelby, don't worry. No one dares to bully me now! Since the last incident, Madison has been too scared to cause any trouble."

At this moment, Harold Jefferson scolded, "You had such a big issue at school and didn't tell me. Luckily Mr. Shelby helped you out; otherwise, if you got expelled, I wouldn't know how to explain it to our parents."

Chris Shelby had explained Marie's situation to Harold Jefferson on the way over. After hearing it, Harold Jefferson was very anxious. Now seeing Marie in person, he couldn't help but nag.

Marie replied, "Alright! Brother, I understand. Next time something happens, I'll definitely tell you."

"Good!"

Harold Jefferson nodded and said, "Sister! I got my paycheck recently; let me take you shopping for some nice clothes."

Marie frowned and said, "You should save your money instead of spending it recklessly. You'll need it when you get married."

"Well... I know!"

Hearing about getting married made Harold Jefferson blush slightly.

Chris Shelby laughed and said, "Marie, don't worry! Harold is working at Chester Group now; his monthly salary is quite good."

Harold Jefferson expressed his gratitude earnestly, "Mr. Shelby, thank you so much! Without your help, I wouldn't have found such a good job."

Chester Group was the top company in East Coast City; many people wanted to work there. For Harold Jefferson, being able to work at Chester Group was a great fortune.

Afterward, Harold Jefferson took Marie shopping for clothes. It was Marie's first time visiting a mall since she started studying at East Coast University. Seeing so many beautiful clothes made her dizzy with excitement. However, being frugal by nature, she only bought two relatively inexpensive outfits.

Chris Shelby initially wanted to buy clothes for Marie but decided against it considering her strong sense of pride.

After shopping for clothes, Chris Shelby drove back to the university gate.

Marie said, "Brother! Mr. Shelby! I've reserved a table at a nearby restaurant; let's go eat now."

Chris Shelby nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go!"

Following Marie's lead, Chris Shelby and Harold Jefferson went to a nearby restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant, they noticed many East Coast University students dining there.

At the same time, many people noticed Marie.

"Isn't that Marie?"
