Chapter 20: A Day Together
Early in the morning, Catherine came out of her room and walked to the second floor—Thorpe was going out today, and she was going to urge the child to prepare.
"Good morning, Lady Catherine!" Passing servants saluted Catherine.
Since the release of Thorpe's genetic grade test results, the attitude of the McAdam family towards their mother and son has changed greatly, with suspicion, envy, fear, and ambiguity
As a mother, she was naturally happy for Thorpe, but at the same time she was deeply worried.
Although the patriarch Adrien hoped to have a capable nephew to assist him, he did not necessarily want him to be too "powerful". Some time ago, Enid's reserved and cautious appearance made Catherine realize that the patriarch's attitude may not be too kind.
As for his brothers, they must be regretting that they did not solve this "hidden danger" in the first place, and began to plan some unwitting "accidents", ready to make amends.
There are also a few elders in the family who have no "alternative" heirs of the right age, who are enthusiastic about their mother and son on the surface, but they are not concerned about themselves in their hearts.
There were different minds in the family, but there were not many who really had good intentions, and Catherine had to think about her son's safety.
After the verdict came out, she revealed the news as soon as possible, and asked someone to add fuel to the fire, just to create public opinion and put this "family matter" on the table.
When the news on the virtual platform spreads, even if those people want to do something, they can't blatantly do it right away - after all, the S-class is a rare talent in the empire, and as soon as the front foot is determined, there will be an accident on the back foot, no matter who it is, it will be clear that there is something wrong with it.
With this time as a buffer, with Catherine's wisdom, it will not be difficult to convince Adrien to continue to trust and protect their mother and son.
Sure enough, her efforts in the past two days paid off - Enid moved their mother and son from the guest room of the manor to the main castle where the patriarch was, which was to express Adrien's attitude to the clan!
Catherine walked to the door of Thorpe's house and looked at the mighty lion emblem on the door - surrounded by lions, her Thorpe must stand out from the encirclement!
At this time, Thorpe himself was struggling with what clothes to wear to the appointment, and when he saw his mother coming, he smiled honestly: "Mother is early!" ”
Catherine gave him a few words of advice, which was nothing more than to pay attention to safety and get along with friends.
Some time ago, she asked about her son's new friends, and Thorpe did not doubt him, and happily shared with his mother the interesting facts about court life that Alan mentioned.
Although Alan didn't tell Sùthoppe anything more detailed and never talked to him about royalty, Catherine still felt that the royal family had kept him in Serentu not necessarily because of sympathy and pity, as had been speculated.
After all, no ordinary guest has ever been able to enter and leave the royal family's horse farm, medicinal plantation and the prince's private living room!
Catherine admits that she is happy to see Thorpe and Allen become friends, on the one hand, it is indeed because of Allen's noble birth, but more importantly, because the teenager in her eyes has many good qualities.
Those qualities affect not only his own future, but also Thorpe, who is with him.
Of course, Catherine is also proud to believe that her Thorpe also has noble qualities worthy of Ellen's fellowship, so if they can meet each other, it must be a coming-of-age gift from the God of Light to the two children!
Since Thorpe also went out early excitedly, he came to the agreed mall early, ready to go to the medicinal plant chain area to select a fourth-grade medicinal plant with good memory.
Before he made a genetic determination, Alan had sent two Miocco's one-day fruits, and Mrs. Catherine said that this was a gift from a friend, not measured by money, but just kept in mind and reciprocated with sincere friendship.
They also knew that Allen was going to enter the Department of Historical Studies, so on the occasion of this meeting, Lady Catherine instructed Thorpe to find a five-leaf ginseng as a gift in return.
This thing is very good to soak in water or make soup, and it is very suitable for candidates who need to use a lot of brains, if it is not for the fact that it is really far away, Lady Catherine wants to stew a little chicken soup and let Thorpe bring it to Alan.
Thorpe happily came to the medicinal plant chain area to prepare for the consultation service, and suddenly found a flaxen-haired teenager standing not far away.
Isn't that Allen!
He walked over quickly, and was about to open his mouth to call Alan's name, when he saw a group of unknown people standing next to him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about it, you really don't need to go to class, no wonder you have a lot of time to squander, it's really enviable. Patvey is probably going to be busy right now. Glancing disdainfully at the wolf-shaped terminal in Alan's hand, Osmond said sarcastically, causing his companions to laugh.
Alan looked at the arrogant teenagers in front of him, and his heart was very calm, after all, he had long passed the age of being irritated by a few words.
- A group of eaglets or chicks ready to attack at any time, give you a look, and experience for yourself (¬_¬)
However, just as Alan was about to say something, a tall figure suddenly stood in front of him, completely separating him from the group of teenagers!
The short brown hair, which was still messy, revealed the identity of the visitor, and sure enough, a slightly familiar voice sounded: "Stop! Do you want to rob?! ”
"Alan & Kitty Hawks - Sao Nian, are you a tease invited by the monkeys, are you in charge of being funny?!
Alan led the tall boy who didn't know that he had succeeded in saving (stirring) the United States (Bureau) and walked in the direction of the theme café.
Someone just recognized Thorpe as the McAdam family's newly baked "genius boy", although he also disdained his true identity as a "hillbilly", but it was better to find fault in private, if it was known by other families, the Hawke family and Adrington were in-laws after all, and they were afraid that they would get into trouble, so Osmond bluffed a few words and left with his little friend.
So the good friends met along the way, and Alan used his "tasting" skills to help Thorpe pick a five-leaf ginseng in the best condition, and the two of them set off hand in hand (and didn't) go to their destination together.
When they arrived at the mecha-themed café that they had planned in advance, the two boys looked very happy.
The decoration of the store is fashionable and avant-garde, there are parts and models of mecha everywhere, and even the seats are designed in the shape of a cockpit inside the mecha, but there is no neuron connection, which looks cool and handsome!
A non-local doesn't know about mechas, and a local doesn't have the opportunity to touch mechas, the two of them simply touch here and there, and they almost don't take a group photo with the miniature mecha at the door!
When he was seated, Thorpe finally pulled his attention back and pushed a beautifully wrapped rectangular box over: "This is for you!" ”
Alan personally picked it for him, so he naturally knew what was inside, and he asked with some surprise: "For me?" ”
Thorpe thought for a long time and didn't remember what Mrs. Catherine said, and finally blushed and whispered: "This one is good for memory, good for making tea, good for soup, and doesn't it say on the Internet that if you like someone, you have to give him a gift to please him?" ”
Although he knew that Thorpe's "like" was definitely not the same as the "like" said on the Internet, Alan was deeply worried about his ability to express himself.
In the past, Song Xiaoyang was used to being alone, and suddenly got the kindness of others, and he was afraid that he would not be able to repay him, so he always had a panicked mentality.
Perhaps it was this particular experience that made him really strong and confident, and now he is more grateful for kindness.
Because of his heart, when he gave Miocco to Vito and Thorpe, he didn't ask for anything in return, but simply hoped that the other party would be good - the heart is the most precious thing about these gifts!
Alan accepted the gift box and said to the tall boy who was a little embarrassed, "Thorpe, thank you!" ”
At this moment, all that was left in Thorpe's mind was the dark green eyes with a light smile - people chased after them all their lives, just to leave their own figure in them.
Back in Adrington from Durland, Alan finally had time to take a good look at his system rewards. After helping Thorpe pick out the five-leaf ginseng during the day, he completed the previous random task.
The system has been upgraded to level 11, and there is an additional third-level medicinal plant in the warehouse, the seeds of the wind vine.
And in the skill bar, there is a new skill, purification.
