Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 271

Jalen also seemed to recognize Kent. He had not interacted with Kent before.

But he had investigated Kent’s stepmother for Elaina, so he also knew

something about the boy.

Seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate, Jalen said, “Ella, don’t worry.

Let’s sit down to have a good talk.”

After that, he reached out to call the waiter over and ordered a quiet room.

Kent did not want to follow them, but under Elaina’s gaze, he had no choice but

to go.

Enter title…

In the private room, the three of them sat down. After Jalen ordered some

dishes, he looked at Kent and said, “Tell us, what is the reason for dropping out

of school?”

Sensing that Jalen and Elaina were both looking at him, Kent sighed helplessly

and finally told them the reason.

His stepmother was in prison. Jason felt that he was the cause, so Jason

disliked Kent very much. Later, Jason did not even pay him tuition fees or living

expenses. Kent had no choice but to drop out of school and work.

“You are only sixteen years old. Do you want to work like this for the rest of your

life?” Though Elaina was annoyed, she knew that it was not easy for him, so

she suppressed her anger.

“I don’t want to, but I have no choice.” Kent shook his head.

He was in his teens. He had no income. He did not even have money for food.

How could he continue his studies?

“You are a child worker. Can the owner of this shop accept you?” Jalen asked.

There should not be a boss who would make such a mistake.

Hearing this, Kent was clearly a little flustered. “I… I lied about my age.”

Generally, this kind of restaurant wouldn’t be strict with the affirmation of

workers’ ages. Workers could lie about their age and say that their ID card was

lost. Almost no one would question whether it was true or not.

“Go back to school. You don’t have to worry about tuition.” Elaina looked at him.

Although she was angry, she also felt distressed. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Kent bit his lip. He did not agree.

The reason why he didn’t come to Elaina was that he didn’t want to cause

trouble for her. He always felt that he was unnecessary and

didn’t want to cause trouble.

Although Elaina took the initiative to support him, Kent still didn’t want it. He was

afraid that if he owed Elaina too much, he wouldn’t be able to repay it.

“Don’t tell me that you really want to work here for a lifetime.” His silence made

her more annoyed.

“Don’t worry, it’s reasonable for him to think in that way.” Jalen comforted her.

Kent was a teenager. He had self-respect.

Jalen took out his business card and wrote a phone number on it. He handed it

to Kent and said, “This is the person in charge of our company’s charity. Call

him. He will pay for all the fees for your follow-up studies.”

Jalen made a pause and then continued, “Well, there are conditions for this.

After you graduate from university and earn money, you will also have to

sponsor a child who has no money to go to school. Can you make it?”

Although it was not forced, at the moment, everyone they sponsored had done

it. Jalen believed that Kent could do it too.

Kent looked at the business card that Jalen handed over and was at a loss.

“Really?”

Kent didn’t want sympathy. He wanted kindness with conditions, just like what

Jalen had offered him. In this way, Kent could feel

much better to accept the kindness.

“Of course. Do you think that every child who doesn’t have money to go to

school can only drop out and work?”

Jalen smiled and said to him, “You are young and naïve. Look, whenever you

are in trouble, please think twice before choosing to be a

deserter.”

Jalen reminded Kent, “You should ask for a favor when you need it. Even if Ella

and I didn’t help you, as long as you tell your teachers about the situation, they

will find a solution. They won’t let you drop out of school and work.”
