Chapter 460 - 469: You Help Me Change Clothes
When John Brown returned with some breakfast, Sarah Grandy had already taken a bath. She looked a lot more refreshed, though her gaze still occasionally wandered blankly. These reactions were normal—if she didn’t behave like this, it would actually be worrying.
"Big Brother Brown, I haven’t been to school for several days. I want to go back today. Exams are coming up, and I need to attend classes. I’ll go back after finishing my courses in the afternoon." After breakfast, Emma Campbell brought up returning to school. Though she was worried about Sarah, she trusted John Brown to take good care of her and, as always, took her studies and exams very seriously.
John Brown nodded and said, "Then go ahead. Don’t worry about Charlotte. I’ll take care of her for the next few days. You can also stay at school in the evening to study."
"No need. Reading from home is just as good," Emma replied. Then, turning to Sarah, she said, "Charlotte, I’m heading to school now."
Sarah Grandy nodded and said, "Big Sister Emma, don’t worry about me. I’m not that fragile, especially since Big Uncle is here to look after me. When you’re gone, I can even steal all the snacks for myself."
Usually, if Sarah talked like this, James Brown would glare at her. But this time, he only gently stroked her hair; no matter what she wanted, he didn’t have the heart to disappoint her.
After Emma left, the house was quiet, leaving only James Brown and Sarah Grandy. However, nothing overly romantic happened. Though Sarah still leaned on James Brown’s chest, there wasn’t a playful or flirtatious mood.
With Sarah being just a little girl, James Brown found that there was a lack of common interests between them. Other than trying to comfort her, he really didn’t know what to talk about.
"Charlotte, how about we go traveling in a few days, once Big Sister Emma is done with her exams?"
Sarah Grandy nodded and said, "Sure, Big Uncle. Wherever you go, I’ll go."
"By the way, have you decided which university you want to attend? We can visit the area first."
