It turned out one never knew what someone all smiles in front of him was thinking behind his back.

After parting ways with Richard, Kenny returned home and received an unexpected message from the department:

The teaching and research office was looking for him, asking him to come back and help with setting the final exam for the juniors.

Puzzled, Kenny glanced at the date.

He hadn’t heard anything from the research office these past few days, so why the sudden request to set the exam?

He had set the exam last year, so he didn’t think much of it.

He had switched classes with a colleague and had the entire week free, so he returned home.

It was a workday today, and the department was rushing him, as if there was an exam the next day.

Kenny had no choice but to tell the person on the other end of the line that he would go back this afternoon.

Kenny looked at him with a helpless expression. “I can’t go, Mr. Adler. You can go with Ian.”

He comforted, “That’s a shame. You go back to work. I’ll take care of Yvonne.”

Kenny was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion. When their eyes met, the strange feeling in his heart. grew stronger.

It was odd. He wondered, ‘When does Richard start caring about my work?

After Richard confirmed the answer, he didn’t stay any longer. He returned home with satisfaction.

He didn’t feel guilty at all. After all, he was doing it for Kenny’s own good.

Young people should go out to work and earn money for Yvonne, which he thought was the way to show his true care, although Yvonne wouldn’t even mind the meager amount he earned,
