Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise novel Chapter 272

Judy had no interest in deciphering these incomprehensible things. She waved her hands frantically and said, “No need, I don’t want to learn. You should teach Lumma instead. Lumma wants to learn, and you want to teach. Don’t drag me into this. I hate studying.”

“You have to learn.” Adam finally shifted his gaze towards Lumma. As his eyes landed on her, they softened considerably. “If you want to learn, you can join us.”

Lumma was more than willing to do that. She excitedly jumped up and down, saying, “Really? I can join you? Mr. Hills, can you wait for me for two minutes? I’ll go get my pen and notebook.”

“Go ahead.” Watching her cheerful figure disappear, Adam’s mood also improved significantly.

It seemed that Lumma was easily satisfied and delighted just by being included in the learning process, a simple-minded girl indeed.

Judy was forced into study mode. Each time she heard an ancient phrase, she became so drowsy that she felt like dozing off. However, Lumma, reveling in Adam’s attention, studied diligently. She not. only listened attentively but also took meticulous notes, resembling a dedicated student.

Judy observed the two of them. One earnestly explained, while the other earnestly listened, both fully immersed in that ancient text, focused and diligent, no one noticed Judy slacking off.

Quietly, she took out her comic book and continued shipping her favorite couple, occasionally stealing glances at Adam, afraid he might catch her inattentiveness.

Little did she know that she was merely a pretext for Adam to get closer to Lumma. Lumma was the only person he truly desired to teach.

“Mr. Hills, I don’t recognize this ancient word,” Lumma pointed to an unfamiliar word, her eyes filled with eager anticipation. “Could you please teach me how to recognize it?”

Adam slightly lowered his head, naturally leaning closer to her. Among their breaths, he caught a hint of her unique fragrance. She didn’t wear perfume, yet why did she always smell so delightful?
