Chapter 220

"Alright." Keith wilted like a deflated balloon.

Katherine dismissed him after receiving the answer she wanted. Then, after she had lunch with her family, she went into the room with Joaquin.

As Jennifer and Keith sat on the couch in the living room, they watched the pair entering the room together. After a while, he leaned toward her and whispered curiously, "Grandma, do you think Katherine and Joaquin—"

"They look lovely. I wonder when they will have a kid or two of their own." Jennifer was filled with high hopes.

Keith's lips twitched as he glanced at Jennifer. He felt fortunate that he was still young, and that Katherine was ahead of him to withstand familial pressure. Otherwise, Jennifer would nag him about having his own kids and he would face enormous pressure about it.

At the thought of children, Keith felt goosebumps all over him.

"Uh, Grandma..." he muttered cautiously.

"Shut it." Jennifer glared at him. "Tell me, what advantage do you have? You're nineteen going on twenty, yet you don't even have a girlfriend. I don't care about you or your girlfriend. You'd better listen to Katherine and return to school. Focus on your studies and stop wasting time."

"Grandma, I'm still so young! Since when am I nineteen? Are you kidding me?! My seventeenth birthday is two months away!" Keith pouted as he could feel her contempt for him.

"Hah!" Jennifer sneered and ignored him.

After Katherine and Joaquin entered the room, she went straight for the laptop. Since he was empty-handed, she thought for a moment and handed him a new laptop. "Both laptops have the same spec. Are you okay with it?"

"Yup." Joaquin took the laptop and turned it on skillfully.

She was about to tell him the password when he unlocked it without her input, leaving her rather left-footed.

"How are we doing this?" He turned on the laptop, tested the running speed, and then looked at Katherine.

She cleared her throat and asserted, "Let's attack and defend. Do you want to attack or defend?"
