From the way she spoke, he could tell that she was a very refined girl.
Ian did not say anything. Instead, he took the broken tap from her hand.
Although it was broken, the tap could still be used. Once Ian removed the inner part, he tinkered with the tap using his long and slim fingers.
The very next moment, the tap had been fixed.
Susan was dumbfounded.
How can someone who doesn't know how to care for himself or interact with others be able to accomplish this? Unbelievable!
She was so stunned that her eyes were as wide as dinner plates.
Ian asked, “What's wrong?"
He looked displeased.
From the startled look on her face, Ian could see a hint of disbelief.
Does she think so lowly of me?
"N-Nothing. I just find you very amazing," explained Susan in a hurry. However, her eyes truly were sparkling when she was praising him.
All of a sudden, Ian felt uncomfortable.
Then again, even he would not admit to himself that he was actually pleased by her praise.
In the afternoon, everyone returned to the school. Susan needed to get accustomed to the school environment because she had just gotten there. Therefore, she worked hard and did not leave the classroom for the entire afternoon.
That afternoon, for some reason, quite a number of people in her faculty found out that she was the aunt of the twins who were in the Faculty of Finance and the Faculty of Design.
“Aunt? The age gap between them isn't that huge. How can she be their aunt?"
"That's how their country is. People have lots of children. By the time the oldest child has their own child, the age of that child is about the same as the youngest sibling."
"Hahaha!"
The entire faculty started gossiping about it.
By the time Susan knew about it, almost everyone was aware.
“Limmer, I heard that gorgeous boy in the Faculty of Finance is your nephew?"
“That's right, Limmer. Before this, I noticed that you were always looking for him. I thought you had a thing for him. It turns out that both of you are related. So, is your nephew's relationship with his girlfriend true?"
"That goes without saying. Even his aunt is already here. Tell me, Limmer. Are you here to keep an eye on them?"
Susan was speechless.
Several of them came up to her and asked about Ian and Sigrun.
Unknowingly, they spoke to Susan the same they would with their own aunts, in a tone full of respect.
Susan's face turned pale as she stared at them.
She wanted to give them an explanation, but she recalled the advice given by people from the White House before she left.
Now that her status was different from before, she could not divulge any information freely for the sake of her own safety, otherwise, no one could guarantee what might happen to her in a foreign country.
