Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Sylvia looked at Forrest as she said, “What did you get up to again? Didn’t I tell you to behave yourself and stop causing trouble for Owen? He’s got his hands full with his position in the Arnold family too.” She did not actually blame him.

Forrest understandingly nodded, “I know. You should go to bed.”

After Sylvia left, Forrest kneeled down in front of the study.

It was already eleven-thirty at night, but Ethan still had not stepped out of the study room.

Suddenly, Forrest’s phone rang. He reached into his pocket and after seeing who it was, he rejected the call.

Madelyn was coming out of the bathroom just then, drying her hair with a towel. She thought, ‘ Forrest usually starts fooling around at this hour. I’ll check on him and see what he’s up to.”

However, the call was disconnected as soon as she called him.

Madelyn frowned, ‘Why’d he hang up so quickly? Was he feeling guilty or is he in the middle of something?’

She tried again, but Forrest still did not answer, so she kept trying. On the fourth attempt, after it rang for a long time, Forrest finally answered.

With a Madelyn, “Why’d you take so long to answer my calls? Forrest, what are you doing?”

Forrest was amused as he said, “Why do you sound like a girlfriend checking on her boyfriend?

Are you afraid that I’m cheating on you?”

Madelyn, “Are you fooling around again? I knew it. You’re not even serious about studying. Have you done the test paper that I gave you as homework? If you keep acting like this, I won’t be able to help you even if I dedicate all my time to you.”

Forrest, “You’re so fierce. Who’d dare to marry you? We’ll talk later. I’m hanging up!”

Madelyn was annoyed after the call ended, but after she calmed down, she realized there had been no noise from Forrest’s end.

She guessed, ‘He was probably caught by surprise and realized I wanted to check on him, so that’s why he only answered my phone call only after so many attempts. He probably went to a quiet Incensed, Madelyn threw her phone onto the bed and lamented, ‘Just when his grades are beginning to improve, he’s starting to neglect his studies again. He’s hopeless.’

But soon, her phone vibrated with a message from Forrest.

Forrest: [I’ve finished the paper. The last math question is quite similar to a question from last year’s university entrance exam.

I’ve come up with two different solutions. Can I snap a photo of it and show you after I finish showering?]

Madelyn looked at the message as she shook her head. The text did not sway her, and she ignored the last part of his message She replied [Every night before you sleep, remember to memorize five Etlinish words. We’ll have a quiz tomorrow.]

Forrest faintly smiled at his phone: [Okay]

After a while, Ethan walked out of the study.

Ethan looked at Forrest coldly and said, “If you and your mother want to stay in the Arnold family, stay away from Madelyn.”

“Well, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. She’s acting so clingy and attached to me, I can’t shake her off.”

Ethan stood in front of Forrest and looked down at him. He scoffed, “What else can you do besides resorting to dirty tricks? Just like your nasty mother.”

Forrest lifted his head and stared defiantly right at Ethan. He mocked, “At least I got what I wanted. But in your case...It seems like she doesn’t even want to go anywhere near you.”

Ethan suddenly raised his leg and stepped on Forrest’s shoulder. He leaned towards Forrest menacingly and said, “Do you really think you can compete with me? Loser!”
