Chapter 4: Boss, you wouldn’t want your daughter to fall in love early, would you?
Grace Bennett’s face turned beet red, nearly steaming with heat.
Ethan Cole found this highly amusing.
The door was pushed open.
The sound abruptly ceased.
Frank Bennett and Diane Bennett were both stunned.
Ethan Cole’s gaze swiftly swept over the two of them.
He paid particular attention to Frank Bennett.
A middle-aged man, not overweight, with an average build and appearance.
This didn’t seem like a person who had ‘system’?
He inwardly complained.
Externally, Ethan Cole greeted with a smile, “Good evening, Uncle, and Auntie, I am Ethan Cole, Grace’s classmate.
She was helping me with some problems today and it delayed her, so I escorted her home.
Also, I happened to notice there was a lot of firewood in the yard, so I helped chop some.”
Ethan Cole presented himself in an articulate and sunny manner.
Immediately, Grace Bennett’s parents took a liking to him.
Seeing this, Grace Bennett slightly exhaled.
Thankfully, her parents didn’t think too much about it.
It was getting late.
Ethan Cole didn’t stay long.
As Grace Bennett saw Ethan Cole out, her face was red, she whispered, “Be careful on your way home.”
The little girl’s face was as red as an apple, radiating an attractive glow.
Ah, he really wished he could hold her in his arms right now.
He had really been blind before.
Grace Bennett was so much better than Chloe Winters.
“Ok, I will. See you later.”
He wanted to tease her a bit more but decided against it.
No need to rush things with the shy little girl.
There would be plenty of time later.
Ethan Cole rode his bicycle away.
Instead of going straight home, he went to the store where he had bought a phone earlier.
He wanted to return that phone.
He arrived at the store.
Ethan Cole approached the counter and said, “Boss, do you remember me?”
The middle-aged, bald store owner grinned, “Of course I remember.”
Ethan Cole took out the unopened mobile phone from his backpack.
He placed it on the counter, “I don’t want this phone anymore. Could you please process my return?”
The store owner’s smile vanished immediately.
He said flatly, “We don’t accept returns unless there is a problem with the quality of the product.”
That was the policy of the physical store.
Ethan Cole had come prepared with a plan.
But as he was about to put his plan into action, he spotted a girl who was dressed in No .1 High School’s uniform walking inside.
She yelled “dad” at the store owner and ran inside the house.
Ethan Cole hatched a new plan.
“Boss, is that your daughter? She’s also from the No .1 High School.”
“Correct.” The boss seemed proud, “My daughter has excellent grades in school.”
Ethan Cole chuckled, “Then could you please accept my phone return, Boss.
I mean, you don’t want your daughter to start dating too early, do you?”
The moment the boss heard this, he became enraged.
He glared at Ethan Cole and growled, “Kid, dare to lay a hand on my daughter, and I will kill you!”
Ethan Cole showed no fear.
His face was still full of smiles, “Boss, don’t be so angry.
I just came here to return a phone, if you accept my return, then there won’t be any problems.
Otherwise, with my looks, physique, it would be easy for me to win over your daughter, right?
Oh, one more thing, I am the top-ranked student in my grade.
With this title, it will be quite easy for me to get close to your daughter.”
The boss was shocked, his anger immediately dissolved.
The next second, a bright smile emerged on his face: “Hahaha, I was just joking earlier.
I will return it for you right away.”
Ethan Cole found himself in possession of 2800 dollars.
He was surprised, “Boss, you made a mistake. I bought the mobile for 2600 dollars.”
“No mistake, and the extra 200 dollars, they’re for purchasing educational materials. I only have one request...”
