Chapter 2068
Renee suggested Joanne apply for a college because she wanted to stall for time. She hoped to see Joanne focus on something else, so Joanne wouldn't dwell on her sad past. Doing so would only lead to a dead end.
Renee also hoped Joanne could stay in Everheart Manor with peace of mind. Then, they could take good care of her and help her recuperate to full health.
Unexpectedly, Joanne accepted Renee's suggestion. She studied very seriously every day and completed the test questions. She took the college entrance exam seriously as if it were her sole ambition and the pivot of her life.
She would start reading and reciting before seven o'clock in the morning. She read aloud the vocabulary and was as enthusiastic as high school students.
Renee kept her promise. She left her company in the charge of a manager and Leia. Then, she set up an exclusive timetable to tutor Joanne every day.
Quinton kept his promise too. He sat in a comer of the room, turning into a weak and helpless study buddy. The three of them spent their time talking about their studies instead of other things. It was rather harmonious.
Joanne had some foundation and was once the top student. She caught up fast even with just a little guidance from Renee, and made rapid improvements.
However, such a curriculum was torture for the indifferent Quinton. He couldn't understand Early Modern English, the Pythagorean theorem, and the trigonometric functions.
His contemporary language was better. At the very least, he started reciting vocabulary early in the morning every day.
"Abandon, abandon, abandon.." he muttered.
At that time, both Renee and Joanne would smile at each other. "That's right, Quinton. You should give up. Studying is difficult for you. Why don't you quit?"
Quinton closed the book and said arrogantly, "Bah! I just don't want to study. When I do, nothing's too difficult for me,"
"Fine, you're the best. Keep dozing off, but don't snore loudly. You'll disturb Joanne from doing the questions, Renee teased him, suppressing her laughter.
She could see what Quinton wanted-he just wanted to spend more time with Joanne. The fact that he could hold on for such a long time since despite finding it difficult to solve Mathematical questions or memorize texts must be true love.
However, there was something strange. It seemed Joanne and Quinton could get along well right now. They acted like true classmates as they discussed the content of the lesson, studying methods, and the ways to resolve some difficult questions. They were no longer at daggers drawn.
After a careful analysis, Renee felt they might have regarded each other as high school students and sincerely thought they were back to the time when they were still students.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
During that period, they were both pure and innocent. They held no grudges against each other.
It was another day of learning. Renee purposely designed a comprehensive test for the two of them.
"We're having a test today to see your level after studying for half a month. Do the test quietly. You can't whisper to each other.
Renee distributed the test papers and exited the class, leaving Joanne and Quinton in the class.
