Chapter 255
e
Aubree sat for the math exam in the afternoon, followed by science and Odionlandian. Aside from Odionlandian,
which remained her weakest subject, the rest were a breeze for Aubree. She finished early and left the exam
room ahead of teach day.
After the first morning, Aubree did not see the Wilson family again. True to his word, Bowen was there after every
exam, waiting outside the building with a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her on completing each subject.
Unbeknownst to Aubree, Bowen had been even busier than the exam-takers these past two days. After Bowen
dropped Alvin off at the exam venue, he would rush over to pick Aubree up, and after that, he would hurry back
to fetch Alvin-shuttling back and forth between the two like a full-tchauffeur.
Even Ethan and Samson, who followed him around every day, could not help but grumble-these past two days,
Bowen had practically turned himself into a full-tchauffeur for Alvin and Aubree.
But truth be told, Bowen did not mind at all-in fact, he was thoroughly enjoying every moment of it.
With the last exam behind her, Aubree allowed herself to finally unwind. Bowen said he would pick Aubree up
after the final paper to celebrate the end of the grueling SAT-for both Alvin and her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut never in her wildest dreams did Aubree expect Bowen to take her to the Turner family residence.
The moment Aubree stepped out of the car and laid eyes on the sprawling estate before her-a classic manor so
vast that people drove around within its grounds her eyes widened in shock. ‘Is this for real?’ she thought.
“My father wants you to cover for dinner. He hasn't seen you since Christmas, so he misses you,” Bowen
said.
Aubree was both flattered and a little overwhelmed-she never expected someone of Enrique’s stature would
actually remember her. “I just hope I'm not being a bother,” she said modestly.
“Nonsense, Aubree! My own son and grandson are always missing in action-they can’t be bothered to spend
twith an old man like me. You're the only one who still givesthe tof day.”
Enrique beamed, his eyes crinkling with delight as he cout to greet them. Taking Aubree by the hand, he
ushered her inside. “The housekeeper’s cooked up a feast-we’ve all been waiting for you two to get back!”
Dinner went smoothly, with Enrique in particularly high spirits that evening. He opened a bottle of wine and had
Alvin and Bowen join him for quite a few drinks.
“Dad, you're drunk. Lethelp you upstairs to rest,” Bowen offered, reaching out to support him.
However, Enrique swatted his hand away dismissively. “You've had just as much to drink-don’t go dropping me
now. Aubree, dear, cgiveyour arm instead.”
“Of course,” Aubree replied sweetly, nodding obediently.
With a resigned smile, Bowen gave up trying to help and turned to Alvin instead. “Con, let's take a walk and
have a little chat.”
As the youngest member in the family, Alvin had no say whatsoever.
Instead of having Aubree accompany him to his room, Enrique led her to the study. He chatted with her about
her future plans, casually steering the conversation. Then, with a faint smile, he took out a stack of photos from
the drawer.
“What are these?” Aubree asked.
“I spend my days at hwith nothing to do but fish, play chess, and drink coffee. Meanwhile, | watch enviously
as all my friends show off their adorable grandkids. Then | look at my own, and all I've got is Alvin, who has such
a bad temper | can’t even bring him out.
“That's why I've been asking around, hoping to find a good match for Bowen-so | can finally have an adorable
grandchild to show off to my
friends.”
Aubree, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly perked up. Her eyes lit with interest-the memory of Bowen
drunkenly kissing her in Shiyvania and denying it afterward was still fresh in her mind.
As Enrique spoke, he watched Aubree’s expression closely. Seeing her eager reaction, he grinned and slid the
photos in front of her. “Since you're here today, chelppick one out.
