Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife novel Chapter 37

In the office, the teacher was giving Kara and Arya a good scolding.

The college entrance exam was around the corner, and every student was busy with study except the two of them. Not only that, they even went in for bullying.

"Call your parents over or just drop out!" The teacher, Owen Berry, spat.

Arya was a veteran troublemaker, and she would never call her parents every time she was asked to. Even if she did, neither of her parents would come. She was already thick-skinned. Scratching her head, she didn't seem to care at all.

But it was the first time for Kara to get such a scolding from a teacher. Blushing with embarrassment, she lowered her head, not daring to meet others' gaze.

"Arya, you are going to study abroad, right? Now, you just get the time to stay at home and prepare for it!"

Seeing that Arya was indifferent, Owen was enraged with his neck bulged. He then turned his attention to Kara. Only then did he feel satisfied since Kara was trembling with fear.

To show his authority, he raised his voice more.

"Kara, with you grade, you will probably fail to enter a college. Call your parents now if you want to continue your study and then write a self-criticism. Otherwise, you don't need to come to school anymore."

Kara's head was even lower, her jaw pressing on her chest.

"Mr. Owen, it's one-sided! You drew a conclusion without investment." Arya was not convinced.

"Aryan, you are one to talk! Kara used to be a good girl and it was you who misled her."

Owen's face darkened. If it weren't for the fear of the Barks, he would have kicked her out of the class.

"No, Mr. Owen. I just want to talk to Rose. I didn't do anything to her."

Hearing Arya was going to blame everything on herself, Kara immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Arya like a heroic warrior, her face bulging

Arya frowned. Kara was always the first one to argue in favor of her no matter whom she had a conflict with. Whether or not she was in the right, Kara would trust her and defend her.

Right now, it was clear that Owen wanted to vent his anger, but the silly girl still dared to step forward, which made Arya touched.

"Who gave you the guts? You are endangering yourself to protect Arya. Why don't you just mind your own business?" Owen gave her a sullen glare.

Kara was so frightened that she took two steps back, but she wouldn't allow him to aim at Arya.

Arya was helping her. She definitely couldn't let her suffer any grievances!

"I did. Mr. Owen, come at me if you have something to say!"

Just as Kara hesitated about what to say, a familiar voice came. She widened her eyes in surprise and turned around. Her eyes immediately lit up as she saw the tall man standing at the door of the office.

"Uncle James, didn't you.... Didn't you say that you wouldn't come?"

James met her gaze and knew what she wanted to say. He walked towards her and sized her up to check if she was injured. Then, he reached out to stroke her head.

"Mr. Owen, I'm Kara's uncle."

James was taller than Owen, and he always spoke in a dignified and arrogant tone, sending forth a powerful aura.

Owen was obviously intimidated by his strong aura. Lacking in self-confidence, he took several glances on him, feeling him familiar. But he couldn't recall who he was.

"You are Kara's uncle, but your surname is Hemming. And Kara had never mentioned you."

James shot him a glance. He always kept a low profile. It's understandable for him to not know him.

"Mr. Owen, what's this, the Gallup poll?"

Arya couldn't help but chuckle and give her a thumbs-up.

Beyond her expectation, this Mr. James didn't just have a handsome face, but a nice personality.

Just now, when he said "come at me" at the door of the office, he looked so cool, right?

Kara blushed and stared at him with admiration. She quickly calmed down when she fixed her eyes at this a tall and strong man.
