The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 21

Xavier didn't know that Percy often had to write self-reflections. If he found out, Percy's butt would probably be in trouble.

He also had no idea why Xavier needed the address, so he quickly sent it over.

Afterward, he looked up and asked curiously, "Scarlett, do you know my Uncle Xavier?"

Scarlett nodded.

Percy stared at her in shock. "When did you guys meet? What happened? Come on, spill the beans!"

Scarlett picked at her food and said casually, "We just met today. Weren't you there the whole time?"

Percy felt a little cheated for getting his hopes up. He thought for a moment and muttered, "I still feel like you two must have known each other before. At the very least, Uncle Xavier seems to know you."

Scarlett replied, "I'm not sure. Perhaps Mr. Hayes introduced me to him."

Percy fell into thought. "That could be it. He's been desperate to find me a tutor."

With curiosity bubbling up again, he asked, "By the way, why does Mr. Hayes like you so much? He treats you like you're his own daughter."

Scarlett didn't answer. It was too complicated to explain in a few words.

After finishing off the last of her spaghetti, she grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth and asked, "Are you done eating?"

Percy patted his stomach with a grin. "I'm full. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite good."

Scarlett stood up without a word. "That's cool. Keep an eye on the table for me. I'm going to grab some takeout boxes."

Percy was speechless. He wondered if he had really just heard her mention takeout.
