Chapter 336: Chapter 337

It was then that Stella laid her eyes on Roger. “Tell me: What‘s going on?”

He remained silent. He served her some soup. “Have some soup first.”

She looked at him quietly with a serious face.

He could not bear it anymore and started explaining honestly, “Mr. Hall told me that there was a placement for studying abroad and that I could apply for it if I was interested, so he gave me this form.”

Stella paused for a moment and asked, “Is that a good thing?” He nodded reluctantly. “It is, but I don‘t really want to go.”

“Why?”

“Living abroad is not very comfortable, so I don‘t really want to go. Moreover, I will be very far away from you, then I won‘t have much time to come back and see you when I miss you.”

This was indeed an aspect to consider, but... She asked, “Apart from this, in your mind, do you want to go?” He did not say anything. He froze for a moment and shook his head quickly.

“I‘ve never thought of going abroad. I will not fill up this form. When the time comes, I will let Mr. Hall give the chance to other students who have the intention in this regard.”

She did not say anything.

Taking the soup, she took a sip. He was relieved to see that she did not seem to be angry and started eating beside her.

He thought that this matter was over.

But just after they finished eating, she suddenly said, “I checked on the Internet and found that the quota for studying abroad is very small. There seem to be only three students in your university who can qualify for it.”

He was stunned and avoided her eyes subconsciously.

“The web would certainly say so, but actually, it is not necessary to go...” “But it would be better for your future to go, wouldn‘t it?” She stared at him intently. She was unwilling to miss the slightest change of expression on his face. She knew him well.

If he did not want to go or it was not beneficial to him, he would never hide it from her.

Since he did not want to discuss this with her, it meant that studying abroad was not like what he said.

Her tone was cold. “What are you hiding from me?”

He shook his head. “I really don’t want to go, Sis. Don‘t force me...”

She let out a long breath. “Give me the form.”

He was not sure what she was going to do, but he still obediently handed it to her. She scanned it.

“I will go to the university to find out more about it. If this is really good for you, I hope you can take this opportunity.” “Sis –”

“You don‘t have to say anything. Don‘t you like computers a lot? If you can learn new knowledge by going abroad, it is a better option for you...”

She started nagging. It was the same old story.

He was annoyed. “Then have you ever thought that if I were to study abroad, it would be difficult for me to come to visit you? Like this time, when you had an accident. I‘d have to book a ticket many days in advance to come back, and you might already be discharged from the hospital by the time I arrive!”

“I don‘t need you to rush back for me.”

She said, “I can take care of myself. Didn‘t you tell me before that you are already an adult? It‘s just studying abroad; it‘s not like you‘re not coming back forever.” “No! In short, I don‘t feel comfortable with you being alone in the country, unless...” He blurted out. “Unless you come with me.”
