Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 28

Meanwhile, Hayden spent the day reading through all the books for 11th grade and memorized every piece of knowledge.

On the way home with Jenny, he purposely bought a few cups of bubble tea.

"Oh my gosh! Hayden, you bought so many. How could I possibly finish them?"

Jenny looked astonished, but her words revealed her delight.

She was thrilled because Hayden still remembered what he had promised her. It didn't matter whether the prize was five, ten, or two hundred dollars. What mattered was that he remembered.

"Don't worry and drink up. From now on, whatever you want to eat or drink, it will be my treat." With an affectionate look on his face, Hayden stroked Jenny's head.

"You're the best!"

Jenny was pleased. At that, they left with five cups of bubble tea.

When they reached home, those bubble tea cups naturally attracted James and Serena's attention.

"Look at you, having that junk food again. Even after all the times I've told you to quit it, you still won't listen." Serena's face instantly darkened as she glared at Jenny and scolded her.

"Mom, Hayden bought them for me. I didn't ask for them." Without any hesitation, Jenny put the blame on him.

At the Caldwell residence, Hayden often had to take the blame for Jenny. He nodded naturally and beamed. "Yes, I bought them."

However, Serena didn't get angry. Instead, she changed her attitude and looked at Hayden with a smile.

"Oh, why did you spend money on something so useless, Hayden? That brat will do just fine with plain water. These kinds of desserts will only make her sick.

"If you have money, you'd be better off buying some fruits. You're putting a lot of effort into your studies right now, so you need more nourishment."

Regardless, James and Serena, who were used to this, simply smiled and said nothing.

"Take this money. The SAT is still a month away. Get more food for yourself. If you want more books, get them. Don't hesitate to spend it," James said, taking out a thousand dollars and shoving them into Hayden's hand.

"No, no. I really don't need it. I have money," Hayden refused immediately. He didn't come back to the Caldwell family for money. He wanted to give them a better life.

"Don't be such a stranger. Take it, Hayden," Serena urged him. She was so close to stuffing the money into his pocket.

Nonetheless, Hayden wouldn't accept it, no matter what they said. He kept refusing.

"Oh, stop it, you guys. Hayden won the lottery. He's not short of money right now."

As if showing off, Jenny added, "He bought the lottery ticket just yesterday. The prize money is at least two hundred dollars. If it's tenfold, it will be two thousand dollars!"
