Easton looked at the little girl in front of him carefully. She was a little shorter than him and looked a little thin.
But her eyes were gentle and nimble. She was timid and nobody could bear to refuse her.
Easton nodded. She looked much prettier than the most beautiful girl in his class. So he was a little curious about her.
"What do you need them for? Didn't your school distribute them to you?"
Fiona felt sad. Of course, the school had distributed books to them for free, but these extra workbooks were for sale.
After her mother left home, she lived with her father, who found her a stepmother. She had a half-brother now.
And she rarely had any more pocket money. She didn't dare to tell her family about such things, because she knew they would not give her money.
Easton looked at the sad girl in front of him and sighed. "Well, just let it go if you don't want to tell me. They are useless to me. Take them back if you need them. It's good not to waste these books."
Hearing what Easton said, the little girl looked up at him. She now felt that the boy in front of her was not only good-looking, but also very nice.
"Thank you. I will repay you."
Easton coughed.
Easton was a little shy to hear her say this seriously. He cleared his throat. "Then let's exchange phone numbers. We are friends now and I'll protect you."
After saying that, Easton found that his phone was in the pocket of his changed clothes. Instead, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote down his number, and handed it to Fiona.
Fiona was about to pick it up when suddenly, there was a woman shouting and swearing from behind.
"Where the hell is the girl going? I asked her to buy something for me and she's still dawdling. Did she run away with the money? She's such a money-losing bitch."
Easton had never heard anyone speak so vulgarly. He looked over and saw a woman with a fierce look came over.
The woman also saw Fiona standing next to Easton, and immediately came over angrily, "Well, I asked you to buy milk for your little brother but you ran out to talk to others. Do you want to starve your brother to death? You are really heartless."
Then she reached out to pinch Fiona. Fiona shivered with fear and was about to apologize. Easton said, "What are you going to do, lady? "
Although he had only said a few words to Fiona, Easton had a good impression of her. Besides, he had said that he would protect her, so how could he see her being bullied?
"Who are you? It's none of your business. Don't interfere while I'm teaching my daughter!"
"You abused a child in front of me. Why is it none of my business?"
Easton was not afraid of her at all. He didn't care about anyone who was much more powerful than this woman. How could he care about what she said?
"Well, am I bullying her? Her mother left her alone and eloped with another man. I've been good to her by feeding her and clothing her. You brat, mind your own business. Fiona, come here quickly!"
Fiona's eyes turned red when she heard this.
When her mother left, she was too young to remember anything. When she grew up, the adults told her that her mother had cheated on her father and eloped with a wild man.
It was a huge shock to a child that her mother didn't want her anymore.
"My mother must have left for some reason. You are lying."
