Chapter 769 Tough Girl âPiano teacher?â Julia Ward was dumbfounded. She pointed at Deirdre and only found her voice after a while to say, âMy grandfather is so old that he became demented, right? Heâs pretty desperate, isnât he? Itâs fine if heâs hiring a piano teacher, but he has actually hired a blind one!?â
The girl spoke in an uncourteous tone, but Deirdre did not pay attention to that at all.
Shauna said, âYou may call Prof. Ward to verify.â
Julia refused to believe these people, so she walked inside to make a call in her slippers. After a while, her voice was heard coming from the room.â What the h*ck, grandfather!?â âShe canât even see! Am I going to learn from the teacher or learn to trouble myself?
âYes! Youâre kind, magnanimous, and ready to help others, but donât you try to implicate your granddaughter!
âI really⦠Forget it!â
After a while, Julia walked out, slamming the door in a rage, and said to Deirdre, âCome in. Iâm just going to put this out there. I wonât be bothered to care for you even if youâre blind.
Figure out a way to get water for yourself if youâre thirsty. Also, if you canât teach, youâre still going to be fired!â
Deirdre nodded repeatedly.
Shauna said softly, âEven though this girl is absolutely lawless, she still obeys Prof. Wardâs order to a certain extent. As such, you can set your mind at ease and teach your lessons here.â
Deirdre replied with a smile while Shauna patted her shoulder. âI shall make a move first. Call me if you need anything.â
After Shauna left, Deirdre removed her shoes and entered the house.
Julia heaved a sigh upon seeing that. âWhy are you taking off your shoes?
Where are your manners? Are you trying to get me to smell if your feet stink?â
Deirdre was embarrassed. âMy shoes are dirty.â âYou canât just walk around barefoot, right? The floor here is not made of wood but tiles. If you stay barefoot in such cold weather, my grandfather will think Iâm bullying you when heâs home!â Julia was impatient, but she still brought a pair of house slippers to Deirdre.
âWear these.â
Deirdre was caught by surprise. She smiled after putting on the slippers. She did not realize that the cold tiles would be bad for her, yet Julia was much more considerate than her. It was apparent that Julia was not as cynical and disrespectful as she portrayed herself.
âWhy are you smiling? Itâs kind of scaryâ¦â asked Julian, but Deirdre shook her head.
Deirdre figured that Julian would be infuriated from embarrassment if she were to speak her mind.
âWhere is the piano? We shall begin the lesson now.â âWhy are you in such a rush?â
Julia sat on the sofa. âIâll order some takeout, and weâll see after I eat.â âEat? Is it time for dinner?â
Julia rolled her eyes. You donât have the concept of time because you canât see, huh? Itâs time for lunch, of course.â âLunch?â Deirdre was astounded. âIsnât it three in the afternoon now?â
Julia furrowed her eyebrows. âIs it wrong that I didnât feel like eating earlier? Why do you have to be such a busybody?â
Deirdre took a seat on a stool upon hearing that. 20 minutes passed, and Julia received her food delivery. She tossed away the food after removing the package and ate two bites.
Deirdre said, âAre you done?â âHmm.â âI believe that⦠you havenât finished your food, right?â
Julia glared at her. âAre you a piano teacher or a nanny? Is it wrong that I donât enjoy the takeout?â
âYou donât enjoy the takeout, but you ordered it.â
Deirdre kept quiet for a moment before she said, âWhereâs the personal chef at home?â
Julia was still a child, after all. She said in a slightly proud tone, âShe quitted after I infuriated her. Donât worry. Youâre no exception, either. When my grandfather canât be bothered with me anymore, it will be time for you to leave too.â
She assumed that Deirdre would express her disdain or be troubled upon hearing her remark.
Unexpectedly, Deirdre only smiled.
