When the GF9 Test Subject Became His Obsession novel Chapter 76

Sebastian sat on the couch inside and gestured to the nearby desk. “You can do your homework here.”

Serena didn’t ask any questions. She quietly sat down, pulled out her books, and started working. Noah brought over a glass of juice.

Today, Noah was beaming. “Mr. Hayes bought the school nurse’s office. He’s even brought in a ton of new equipment for Haven High School. Once it’s all set up in a few days, if Ms. Serena ever has a headache or fever, she won’t need to go to the hospital.”

Serena opened her book and didn’t respond at all.

Noah glanced over awkwardly, realizing he might’ve said too much. Sebastian lifted a hand. “Get me a cup of tea.”

Though not far apart, Sebastian could clearly smell the scent on the girl — crisp, clean, with a hint of sweetness. Just inhaling it made him feel like he could live a few years longer. He couldn’t help but wonder what she might taste like.

He cleared his throat lightly, brushing those random thoughts aside, and pulled out his laptop to open the latest question bank. He turned the screen toward the girl. “What do you think of the new math problems?”

Zayden suddenly turned around. What?

Serena glanced up. “Ugly.”

Her expression was calm, barely showing any emotion.

Sebastian smiled. “Even if they’re ugly, if you look at them long enough, they’ll start to grow on you.”

Noah came back with the tea and asked curiously, “Mr. Hayes, what are you two talking about?”

Zayden had no idea how to explain and defaulted to a deadpan expression. “Math problems.”

Noah was speechless.

Serena was forced to do two full hours of homework before she was allowed to leave.

When Noah walked her out, he noticed she didn’t look too happy.

Back inside, Sebastian asked, “Do you think she understood what I meant?”

Zayden put on a serious face. “Mr. Hayes, that’s cheating.”

For someone as rigorous as a doctor, cheating was absolutely unacceptable.

Sebastian gave him a cold look and said nothing.

Zayden immediately shivered and shut up.

Noah chimed in, “Mr. Hayes didn’t give her the answers, and the answers aren’t even online. How’s that cheating? At most, it’s just previewing the test questions.”

Zayden was stunned. Damn it, that actually made sense. If even good people could be corrupted, what chance did someone with questionable character have?

He hadn’t realized it before, but after asking around, he was shocked. Serena’s reputation at Haven High School was worse than a stink bug’s.

Serena didn’t get home until 8:30 p.m. The first thing she said after dropping her backpack was, “Mom, is there anything to eat?”

“Wait. Did we eat dinner today?”

Noah blinked. “I don’t think we did.”

Sebastian froze for a second. Around 7 p.m., that girl had looked at him. Her gaze had paused on him for two whole seconds.

Even though he was immersed in work at the time, his heart had still picked up on it instantly. His pulse had skipped a beat.

“Build a kitchen,” he said.

The next day was the monthly exam.

To better evaluate student performance across subjects, Haven High School’s monthly exams usually excluded science AP exams. Instead, the science subjects were broken into three separate tests.

To prevent cheating, the entire grade was assigned testing rooms by random draw.

The first subject was the hardest: math.

Serena was assigned to the first testing room. The proctor was Sequoia.

Kelly was in the same room, along with Lilian from Class 3.

Each room had thirty students — and Building A filled twenty of those seats.
