Chapter 032: Foster Care
The room was cozy, and there was a lot of food on the table, and it seemed that Andleine had been preparing for this meal for a long time.
In addition to Amanda, whom he hadn't seen in a few days, Roger also saw a chubby little boy at the dinner table.
Roger has seen his picture and is Andreine's youngest son, Jack.
Amanda was so thin that she was almost out of shape, her originally bright red hair had lost its luster, she seemed to be in a much more stable mood, and she barely smiled when she saw Roger come in.
Roger nodded and said nothing.
Some memories can only be erased with time.
"Let's eat first, it'll be cold in a while."
Adeline sat down on the throne and prayed reverently, and Jack the Fat Man pretended to fool him, but Amanda was indifferent.
Apparently she was not a believer.
"It's finally time to eat!"
Jack looked heartless, and he looked at Roger curiously as he stuffed food into his mouth.
The atmosphere at the table was dreary, and there were so many facts that had happened lately that everyone but Jack seemed preoccupied.
Eating up the steak on the plate, Andreine put down her knife and fork, she coughed lightly, heard the sound, Roger also put the cutlery, wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth and looked up at the other party.
"I want to announce one thing."
Andleine glanced at Roger, and her gaze swept over Amanda and Jack.
"It's about Roger."
"I'm sorry Roger, I lied about some of the previous things."
"In fact, we haven't found any information about your disappearance in the surrounding towns and districts that match your identity."
"It's been several days and there is still no progress on the investigation."
She looked at Roger with sympathy.
"I don't know if your parents were shipwrecked." After a moment's hesitation, Andleine did not tell Roger that the surrounding sea area had not been shipwrecked at all in recent months.
Roger, a living person, seemed to emerge out of the sea suddenly, and there were too many doubts in this matter.
"You are still young and have no guardian, and according to the law, orphans like you are sent to a community welfare home and can not live independently until they reach adulthood."
Andrine took one of Amanda's hands.
"Thank you Roger, thank you for everything you do in the woods, if it weren't for you, Amanda might ...... Maybe there's no going back. ”
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
Roger responded politely.
"As Greg said, a person's character is only known when faced with real danger."
"On the one hand, it is out of gratitude, and on the other hand, I like your character from the bottom of my heart during these few days of communication."
"So ......"
"Would you like to live with us?"
Roger was slightly stunned, he thought that he had only one way to go to the community welfare home, but what did Adelin mean?
"I submitted an application for foster care and, in my case, it should be through soon, and you can live with us until your real family finds you."
At the dining table, Adeline reached out and drew a circle.
"As a family, living together."
"Would you like to?"
After saying that, she squeezed the hands of Amanda and Jack, and looked at Roger a little nervously.
Looking at the sincerity flashing in the female sheriff's eyes, Roger only hesitated slightly, then nodded in response, "It's my pleasure!" ”
It has been a while since he traveled to this world, and he has felt the struggles of Kant, and he has also witnessed the true feelings of the mermaid man, although the time is short, but the experience is quite rich.
Only with Andreine, he felt a long-lost peace of mind, as if he had returned to the ordinary world of his previous life.
"Welcome!"
Amanda grinned, it was clear that Madeleine had communicated the news to her children in advance.
"Great!"
"I finally have my brother!"
Little Jack looked extremely excited, "Next time Benny dares to bully me again, you must help me get angry!" ”
He babbled, but then looked at Roger with some concern, "Shouldn't you eat more, because you look too thin now, and Benny's brother is the big guy on the rugby team." ”
Roger smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I can even chase away wolves!" ”
Roger's gaze swept over Amanda's face, who clasped his hands around him, "Don't even think about it, I'm definitely older than you." ”
"Call me sister obediently."
It can be seen that she is also very happy for Roger to join.
In the midst of everyone's frolicking, a pleasant dinner ended.
After the meal, Andleine found Roger alone and proposed her next arrangement.
Through personal connections, she plans to place Roger in Bay Town High School, where high school requires 4 years, Roger needs to transfer from the second year, and Amanda is in the third year.
"Going to school?"
Roger was stunned.
Coupled with his previous life, he has been for nearly 10 years, and he doesn't know what it's like to sit in class, so he naturally subconsciously refuses to do this kind of thing.
Once he goes to school, where will he have time to practice swordsmanship and improve his physique?
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
But at this point, Andreine is extremely tough, an ordinary person who doesn't study and doesn't take the university entrance exam, what is the use of waiting to enter society?
Roger was a WF-looking object, but any of his struggles were to no avail, and after some negotiations, Roger applied for plenty of free time from Andleine on the premise of guaranteeing results.
As for the grades?
Although Roger doesn't know anything about this unfamiliar education system, with the focus potion, Roger said that in terms of learning, he can definitely be called a well-deserved top student.
If you think about it, it is not without benefits to enter the school, the systematic study of botanical knowledge, the operation process of chemical experiments, and the precise measurement methods are obviously helpful for the study of alchemical potions.
In addition, there is a corresponding history, geography and humanities knowledge, and the mystery is hidden in reality, and he is now full of curiosity about the unknown language recorded in the Soul Book.
If he can find some clues, then he will have a deeper understanding of the extraordinary power of this world.
What are the prospects for going to school?
It's better to become a demon hunter, and then a pile-driving sorceress is more emotional.
Ay? There seems to be something wrong, why does a person as pure as me always think of a piledriver?
Could it be a hidden effect?
Someone thought a little shamelessly.
When night fell, Roger climbed into bed early, and when the whole house was not sound, he changed his clothes, climbed out of the window of the room, got on his bicycle, and ran away in a puff of smoke.
But what Roger didn't know was that when he left, a tall figure stepped down from a car parked on the side of the street, and he looked at Roger's back disappearing in the distance, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What are you going to do at this late hour?"
