Chapter 397 - 404: Meeting Melody Yoody Again
John Brown encouraged Sarah Grandy with a few words, which made Sarah even happier. She said, "Uncle, I haven’t been naughty during this period. I’ve been studying diligently at home and not bothering you. Aren’t I being very good?"
John Brown chuckled and said, "Indeed, very good. You deserve praise."
Sarah immediately said, "Then, if I get good grades this time, you should give me a reward, right?"
"No problem. Just tell me what you want, and I’ll make sure you get it."
Sarah playfully winked at John and said, "I haven’t decided yet. I’ll think about it slowly after I finish the exams."
At that moment, Sarah’s father said, "Sarah, it’s about time. Hurry and go inside."
Sarah grabbed hold of John Brown’s arm and shook it, saying, "Uncle, you’re not allowed to leave! After my first session, I want to see you waiting for me."
John readily agreed. Sarah’s behavior this time was truly commendable—not like her previous antics which gave him headaches. Considering that this is a crucial moment for Sarah, he thought it was best to indulge her a bit.
Reflecting on himself, John couldn’t help but feel regretful about not graduating high school and joining the army too early, missing out on the college entrance exam experience. Standing outside the exam hall now made him feel like he was patching up that small regret in his life.
Turning around, he was about to chat with Sarah’s parents but noticed that although they were standing together, their expressions looked far from good. It was completely different from their earlier harmonious demeanor.
This made John dismiss the idea of talking to them. Clearly, the couple was still having conflicts, but they were pretending to be loving for Sarah’s sake during her exams. If he tried to strike up a conversation now, he might end up caught in their drama, which would hardly be worth it.
