380. Professor Hewen(1/2)
A sudden female voice interrupted the conversation between the two:
"Haven!"
Hevin turned his head, and Nelly was looking at him in surprise.
He turned his head and glanced sideways. Rebecca had a dark face at this time. No one was sitting in the two seats next to her, and Jimmy was missing.
Nelly repeated Ciro's question:
"Haven, is there anyone here?"
Hewen said:
"No, but don't you need to accompany your mother?"
Nelly sat one seat away from Hevin:
"I convinced her that she was a reasonable person."
Hewen glanced at Rebecca again, confirmed that her expression was particularly unfriendly, and then looked back at Nelly:
"Ciro, this is Ms. Nellie Lester, Jimmy's sister. Nellie, this is Ciro Eberron."
Ciro Eberon nodded slightly and said:
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Nelly."
Nelly replied:
"Just call me Nelly, ma'am, it sounds too old. By the way, do you know my brother?"
Silla said implicitly:
"He and I study in the same school."
Nelly said in surprise:
"Are you the same age as him? I can't tell at all."
If Silla hadn't said anything, she would have thought that Silla was a man of the same age as her but younger just by judging the other person's temperament.
Silla smiled politely and said:
"The same goes for you, Miss Nelly. I can't tell you are Jimmy's sister at all."
Nelly frowned, if it wasn't for his very good attitude, she would have thought that Silla disliked her brother, otherwise why would he say such things.
The girl looked at Hewen again:
"Mother said you went to my house."
Hewen said:
"She told me to stay away from you and Jimmy, after all, you know, what happened."
Silla smelled something wrong.
Nelly nodded:
"Actually, I was at home at that time."
Hewen nodded slightly.
Nelly looked at his face and fell into silence.
Although she came here despite her mother's pressure, she didn't know what she wanted to say at this moment.
Nelly finally spoke slowly:
"How have you been lately?"
Hewen said:
"It's very good. I got back a lot of things I had thrown away and met a lot of friends from the past. It's always been pretty good."
Nelly was speechless and said:
"Where's Hala? How is she?"
Silla's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Hewen said:
"She is studying now, and she is in the same school as your brother."
Nelly said in surprise:
"Why didn't Jimmy tell me...
"Wait! Is Ha La at this age?"
Hewen said:
"Holla is much older than you think. It's just that she looked a little small before. She has changed a lot during this time. I don't think Jimmy actually recognized her."
Even based on the time of arrival in Lawrence, Hala is much older than Nelly, and if we want to really calculate the time of birth...
When she was born, Asgard had not yet fallen.
But Nelly still has a doubt in her heart, that is, Hal should actually recognize Jimmy.
But she was too smart to touch this topic:
"Hevin, why did you come to Wharton?"
Hewen said:
"Part of it is because of today."
Nelly asked curiously:
"today?"
Hewen said:
"Enid's birthday party.
"I have something to ask her about."
Nelly was stunned for a moment, then her voice lowered a few degrees:
"Mr. Hevin, are you on good terms with Enid?"
Hewen said:
"Called a friend."
Nelly expressed a strong interest in this question:
"Hewen, when did you and her meet? Can we be friends even with such a big age difference?"
The girl held her chin with her hands and looked at the old man with clear eyes.
Hevin gave his own answer:
"The so-called friends do not necessarily mean that they have a completely similar outlook on life, nor do they need to have the same views on most things.
"You can become friends if you can talk about some things, or if it's just a small gesture that makes both parties understand each other."
Just as Nelly opened her mouth to say something, she turned to look in the direction she had just come from.
After Rebecca smiled apologetically at her tablemates again, she stood up and walked directly in their direction.
Mrs. Leicester's momentum continued to rise with every step she took, but when she walked behind Hevin, she had already attracted the attention of several people.
"Nelly, the banquet is about to officially begin, come back with me."
Nelly forced herself to look at her mother:
"The banquet does not specify where I should sit."
But as Rebecca's eyes became more severe, Nellie's voice became softer.
Silla looked at the two of them and Hewen, and decided to leave this situation to Hewen. He was not suitable to intervene in this situation at the moment.
Hewen said:
"Mrs. Leicester, your daughter is an independent person."
Rebecca replied bluntly:
"At the same time, I bear all the expenses of her life, and I am also an independent person. Sometimes the child has to make concessions. After all, I raised her."
Nelly said:
"But me sitting here will not have a bad influence on you."
Rebecca came up with several reasons in an instant:
"No, hanging out with a hunter? You're tarnishing the Taylor family's reputation."
Nelly shouted in a low voice with dissatisfaction:
"Mother!"
