Chapter 22
Thinking of it that way, it actually sounds pretty worthwhile.
Whether his sister praises Yigol Novak or criticizes him, Suri Drew can obtain some useful information that would allow her to better understand Yigol.
In truth, since getting to know Yigol Novak, Suri Drew thinks he’s perfect — to the point that she can’t find anything to criticize.
Because he’s so perfect, Suri Drew always feels like she’s living in a dream.
The dream is so beautiful, she worries about when she’ll wake up from it.
And there’s the fact that Yigol Novak is too exceptional, sometimes making her feel unworthy of him. If she can learn more about him, she would naturally cherish this chance.
Yigol Novak doesn’t understand Suri Drew’s thoughts, he’s just seriously contemplating what Suri Drew said.
She makes sense, and what’s more, he can tell that Suri Drew is also very considerate towards him.
Suri Drew is well-intentioned, and he must not let Suri Drew down.
Once his cousin arrives, he has to find a way to win her over, so she doesn’t tell her family about Suri Drew. He doesn’t want Suri Drew to be unhappy.
If he is not careful, and he loses his wife-to-be, he would greatly regret it.
The next day.
Yigol Novak arrived at the airport earlier than the scheduled time, his cousin was the only one who came.
He asked his mother and found out that his family was worried his cousin might run off midway, so they had her take a flight directly. She couldn’t get off halfway if she’s on a flight, could she?
When Yigol Novak saw his cousin, he recognized her at once.
This was because he discovered that his cousin still looked the same as when she was young, with no sign of having grown up at all.
What left a deeper impression on him was the makeup on her face, and her aesthetic sense, she had done such an ugly job with her makeup. Her nails were painted bright red, and her hair was dyed a wine red.
Yigol Novak understood his family’s worries quite well. One glance was all it took to see she was a troubled teenager, his family couldn’t possibly be at ease.
Yigol Novak originally planned to put on a stern face, put on a brotherly front, but he gave up on that idea considering what Suri Drew had said.
Yigol Novak walked over to his cousin’s side, pulled her suitcase, and left. Yigol walked quite a distance away, but his cousin didn’t seem eager to follow him, leaving Yigol speechless.
This poor lady didn’t notice someone was taking away her luggage?
Yigol Novak didn’t say anything, and only returned to pat her on the shoulder.
Sana Woods got a sudden pat and was about to freak out, but she calmed down once she saw it was Yigol Novak who had patted her.
The lady was alright, but Yigol Novak just got angrier.
Her makeup was scary enough when he saw it from afar.
It’s even scarier when seen up close.
He was seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
She’s just a little girl, why would she wear makeup like this?
Wouldn’t she look pretty if she didn’t put on makeup?
“Bro, you scared me. Now you owe me money.” Sana Woods said.
“I have no money. Hurry up.” Yigol Novak said this and left pulling her suitcase.
“Hey bro, wait for me.” Sana Woods jogged after Yigol Novak, all the while looking around with curiosity.
Yigol Novak first took her to a restaurant and handed her the menu, “Order what you want to eat, we’ll talk after eating.”
“Vegetarian dishes. I don’t eat meat. The cheap kind. I’ll treat you.” After saying this, Sana Woods bowed her head to play with her phone.
She seemed very interested in whatever she was playing with.
Yigol Novak was helpless; the little girl was quite addicted to her phone. No wonder the family was worried about her.
Soon, the ordered dishes were served, and Sana Woods didn’t seem to be interested in eating at all.
Put more precisely, she hadn’t even noticed that the dishes were on the table yet.
“Not hungry?” Yigol Novak asked.
Sana Woods took a look at the food on the table, and then began to eat after putting down her phone. As she had requested before, she only ate vegetarian dishes, she didn’t even glance at non-vegetarian dishes.
She ate very little; Yigol Novak felt that even a kitten would eat more than her.
Yigol Novak looked at the food on the table and had no appetite at all.
If this was in the past, he wouldn’t be picky about food. But after becoming a chef, he became more discerning and seldom found food outside that he could stomach.
For now, it’s just Yigol Novak, and he wanted to understand what kind of a person his cousin was before he could manage her.
Suri Drew suggested that Yigol Novak should take his cousin shopping first, and buy her some stuff that girls her age would like.
But seeing her eat just a little food, would she be able to sustain herself physically throughout the shopping trip?
After the meal, Yigol Novak paid the bill and led Sana Woods towards a parking lot.
Seeing that the surrounding area is full of luxury cars, Sana Woods curiously asked Yigol Novak, “Bro, did you go to the wrong place? This is a parking lot for rich people.”
“So many luxury cars, it’s such a feast for the eyes, I’ve only seen these on my mobile phone before.” Sana Woods was saying as she looked around.
“You know these are luxury cars?” Yigol Novak asked her.
“What’s so strange about that? You can see the logos of all these cars on TV. If you watch more TV, you’ll know.” Sana Woods said in a nonchalant manner.
“Bro, you’ve wasted your life living in a big city and yet you have no knowledge about this.”
“This is …” Sana Woods talked at length.
Yigol Novak doesn’t understand much about luxury cars, and he listened to what sounded like Sana Woods explaining it.
“Ok, enough is enough.” Yigol Novak had a headache listening to her, she sounded like she could go on forever if he didn’t stop her.
Then Yigol Novak asked, “Seeing as you know so much about these cars, it shows you have a good memory. If you had put even a fraction of this effort into studying, you would have definitely got admitted to a good high school. What in the world happened to you?”
“Who said I didn’t get admitted? I just …” Sana Woods wanted to explain something but stopped short: “Why should I explain to you? Do you think I am willing to work for others like you do? Working so hard but earning so little money.”
“Then what do you want to do?” Yigol Novak asked: “You seem to know quite a bit about these luxury cars.”
Sana Woods paused then said with a lowered voice, “Having a bit more knowledge about these fashionable things could be my ticket into a wealthy family, right?”
“As for what I want to do, my wishes don’t matter at all. Don’t you all want me to live according to your expectations?” Sana Woods added in a dissatisfied tone.action
Now, it was Yigol Novak’s turn to be stunned.
Suri Drew was right; this kid was very wary of him. Considering her attitude, she wouldn’t listen to his advice whether it was right or wrong.
Sigh, he might as well leave it to his wife to find a solution.
Yigol Novak and Suri Drew had agreed that the two of them would pretend to be best friends who were sharing an apartment. Yigol Novak must not be seen as a permanent resident of the house, and he should leave his cousin to be managed by Suri Drew.
