Chapter 1142
Francine felt aggrieved but did not dare to talk back to her grandmother. She fiddled with the food on
her te with a fork, and the fork slipped out of her hand.
She was already in a bad mood, and her mood worsened when the fork fell. She muttered something
to herself and was about to bend down to pick it up when Chester bent down to take it before could.
Since the fork was already dirty as it fell on the floor, Chester put it aside and handed his clean one to
her. “Here. I haven’t used this yet.”
Francine blushed at Chester’s gesture and thanked him.
Chester did not reply and got up before politely bidding Pam goodbye. He then picked up his
backpack and walked out.
As soon as Francine saw that the apple of her eye had left, she felt a little downcast and got up to
chase after him.
She ran out to the yard and finally caught up with Chester. She stood in front of him and asked
uneasily, “Why did you leave without eating? Are you angry? Do you think I’m in the wrong?”
Chester had an insipid expression as he answered, “Your family’s affairs have nothing to do with me. I
don’t have any particr view to say about what happened.”
Though Chester’s answer suggested he was not angry, Francine did not think that was so. As stubborn
as she was in front of other people, she discarded her attitude and lowered her head to exin, “But
Aaron’s a jerk. I just couldn’t hold my anger back earlier. I hate it when he bullies other girls!”
Chester could not bear to ignore her when she admitted her mistake to him like that.
“You don’t need to exin anything to me. This involves your family, and I have no right to say
anything. But, I do think you should control your temper, Francine. If you show your dissatisfaction all
the time and speak your mind without any filter, society will give you a lot of k in the future.”
Francine blinked in confusion. “But I don’t have to go to work in the future. No one’s going to do
anything to me if I stay at home!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

Chester was a little surprised at that answer. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “You’re right. Your
family’s financial background is secure enough that you don’t need to work for the rest of your life.
You’ll always be protected by your family. I’m just thinking too much.” He walked past Francine and
continued toward the gate.
Francine felt very uneasy, so she ran up to him and grabbed his clothes. “You’re right, Chester. I’ll
change my temper! I’ll learn to control it! Please don’t be angry at me.”
Chester felt helpless. “I’m not angry. Let me go!”
Francine asked carefully, “Then will you being over to help me with my homework tomorrow?”
Chester nodded. “I’ll keep my end of the promise since it’s already been agreed upon that I’ll help you
to finish everything.”

Francine sighed in relief and released him. “I’ll see you off!” She wanted the family driver to send him
home, but because he was an independent person who stuck to his principles, he would be unhappy if
he was driven home every time. Once or twice was more than enough.
Since Francine insisted on seeing him off, Chester allowed her to apany him to the gate.
A row of bodyguards stood guard at the gate. They had a serious look on their faces, and it was a little
stressful to be in their presence.
Chester looked at the bodyguards and asked with a frown, “Is your brother treating Corinne as some
kind of prisoner?”
Francine looked helplessly at the bodyguards in front of the house. “I have no idea what’s going on. It
wasn’t like this yesterday, but then they had an argument, and it was already like this earlier today!”
The thought of Jeremy left Chester feeling some animosity. He said coldly, “I hope your family will treat
Corinne better. She’s a good girl!”
After some hesitance, Francine eventually asked him, “I’ve always wanted to ask you something,
Chester. Do you like Corinne?”
Chester kept quiet. He slung his backpack over his left shoulder and left without even turning to look at
her.
