Chapter 571
Corinne could not wrap her head around it.
Sunny chose the pair of small walnut sculptures in his hand. He said, “I am not related to my grandparents by blood, but they’ve been quite good to me all these years. They are just not too nice to my sister.”
Corinne was still spacing out. Sunny thought she was worried about paying for him in advance, so he seriously promised her, “Don’t worry. I’ll pay you back! My brother said he’ll restore my cards’ limits after 1 pass all my subjects.”
Corinne regained her senses and immediately burst out laughing. “You might as well just tell me straight away that you won’t return the money to you, then!”
Sunny frowned. “Corinne, don’t look down on me. I’ll be able to pass them sooner or later!”
Corinne did not care about his results. After giving it a thought, he said, “I can help you pay for the gift, and you don’t have to repay me! However, you have to promise to do one thing as a trade.”
Sunny looked at him with his eyes widened. “What do you want me to promise you?”
Corinne said, “Take me to your grandfather’s birthday party tomorrow!”
Sunny was stunned, feeling very confused. “Why would you want to attend my grandfather’s birthday party?
Corinne said, “I’m curious and bored, and I just want to attend a party to have fun! What do you say?”
After Sunny gave it a thought, he said, “Alright! Deal! I’ll take you!”
Both of them had reached an agreement. Corinne then paid and bought the pair of small walnut sculptures for Sunny. It was not expensive, but it was not cheap either. It was about 150. dollars.
Jeremy looked at Corinne with an unfathomable gaze that seemed to exude a hint of dissatisfaction. Then, he asked Sunny in an indifferent tone, “How did you get here?”
Sunny said, “We took a cab here!”
Jeremy squinted. “Wait for me then. I’ll give both of you a lift later.”
Of course, Sunny was more than happy when he heard that he did not have to pay for a cab. ” Sure! Jeremy, why are you here? Are you also here to buy something?”
“Mm-hmm.” The man did not say anything else. He put his hands in his pockets and entered the antique store in big strides.
Just as Sunny wanted to follow Jeremy into the store. He thought of something, and he turned to look at Corinne. Seeing that she was looking a little dazed, he waved his hand in front of her eyes. “Hey! What are you thinking about?”
