don’t need to trouble with this, Mr. Laurier,” Susan said, wearing a restrained smile. Loid and Lily were merely engaged; they weren’t truly one yet. Asking the Laurier family for help in such a small matter might make Loid look down on the Martinez family. So, the schooling issue had to be handled by the Martinez family themselves.

She had bought a lot of new clothes and various daily necessities for Lily, but Lily had simply thrown them out. It was hard to tell where Lily had picked up her stubborn and tough attitude. “Can we go now?” Lily asked nonchalantly while looking down. Loid lifted his gaze, glanced at Susan and the others briefly, and then looked
