The teacher gave it a thought and waved her hand at him, saying, "Go, go, go. Make it quick as well."
He ran out of the teaching block and quickly caught u p with Jenson.
The two had their meals in the cafeteria, and Jenson said nothing the entire time. There was a heavy look o n his face, as if he was deep in thought about something.
Baby Robbie waved his hand in front of his eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jenson abruptly grabbed his hand as if something had stirred him up. “Madam Nephele is very likely here for Boye."
Baby Robbie was stunned. "Are you saying that she's doing so many things to force Great-grandma to show herself?"
Jenson loosened Baby Robbie's hand while saying," But Great-grandma has left Imperial Capital. If she doesn't show up, will she continue doing more preposterous things?"
Baby Robbie reminded him, "Jens, Madam Nephele is Grandpa Jacob's woman. She might be stirring up havoc at this moment purely to fight for the Ares
family's benefits."
Jenson sighed and replied, "I hope you’re right this time."
After eating their breakfast in a hurry, the two went back to class to take the test.
Before entering the classroom, Baby Robbie suddenly grabbed Jenson’s hand and pleaded, "I promised the teacher that I’ll get the same scores as you on all the tests. But you know as well that I enter dreamland as soon as my head hits the table, so it's impossible for m e to get full marks. Please help me out here."
Jenson shook his hand off and refused him mercilessly. "Take the test yourself."
Baby Robbie said, "Just help me this time around, Jenson. Next time, I'll definitely..." Baby Robbie was suddenly exuding a gallant and valiant aura. It was as though he was going to put his old ways behind him and put painstaking efforts into his studies for once to turn over a new leaf.
Jenson was inwardly glad about Baby Robbie's sudden enlightenment. Who would have thought that Baby Robbie's following words were, "I'll never talk boastfully again!"
Jenson could see the beautiful bubble of his hopes completely bursting until nothing was left. Then, Jenson started acting like the big brother he was and severely reprimanded Baby Robbie, "With your IQ, it shouldn't be difficult for you to ace every single
subject. Why are you so reluctant to learn?”
Baby Robbie said, "Even if I study hard, I still can’t beat you."
Jenson replied, “Why are you trying to compete with m e?"
"If I don't, then won't it be too boring? It'll lack any meaning for me."
"Why do you say that?"
