The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 36

Edmund's surprise proposal came so suddenly that Scarlett froze on the spot.

Only after a few moments had passed did she remember to kneel and respectfully reply, "Yes, Mr. Barrett!"

"Perfect!" Edmund laughed heartily.

"I never thought I'd take on a young apprentice at this age," Edmund said as he continued to laugh.

"However, I must consult Mr. Stroud before giving you a final answer," he added, his tone thoughtful.

"But don't worry, even if Mr. Stroud doesn't agree to me taking you as my apprentice, I will still pass on everything I know to you," he reassured her, his eyes filled with sincerity.

He reached out, helping Scarlett to her feet. His gaze was full of admiration and satisfaction.

Scarlett looked at Edmund with eager eyes, nodding enthusiastically.

After that, Edmund taught Scarlett a few more moves. Instantly, Scarlett's confusion over certain techniques cleared up.

They only stopped when it was 6:30 am, as the maids had to get to work.

Edmund told Scarlett, "If you want to learn martial arts, come here at 5:00 am from now on."

Scarlett made a mental note of that.

After breakfast, Scarlett and Percy went to school together.

Although they had a luxury car to drive them, they didn't go all the way to the school gate to avoid drawing attention.

Instead, they got off at a nearby intersection and walked to school.

As luck would have it, the Quinn family's car passed by.

Lily exclaimed, "Jonah, look, it's Scarlett! Why is she still with Mr. Apology?"

Jonah turned to look, his expression darkening instantly.

They had been together since yesterday after school, until now.

Could it be that they had been together all night?
