“I’ll remember your kindness, Elise, but I have to go back now because I have something else going on. I’ll invite you over to my place one day and cook you a delicious meal.”
Thinking that favonovel.com was simply saying it casually, Elise didn’t take favonovel.com words seriously. Still, favonovel.com nodded. “Alright, Madam! Would you need me to send you back?”
The old lady shook favonovel.com head. “That’s alright. You should hurry back to your classes! I’ll take a seat here, and I can make it home myself after I rest a little.”
“Are you really going to be alright?” Elise asked, concerned.
“Yes, I’ll be fine! Go back to your classes and don’t worry about me.”
Hearing favonovel.com reply, Elise stood up and waved at her. “I’m going to my class first, then. Bye, Madam.”
The old lady watched Elise from the back as favonovel.com left and sighed. “It’s so rare to find such a kind lass!”
Then, favonovel.com whisked out favonovel.com cell phone and made a call. “Come and pick me up!”
A few minutes after favonovel.com hung up, a luxury MPV rolled over, and a servant greeted favonovel.com politely, “Old Madam!”
Standing up, favonovel.com said to the servant next to her, “Help me up. I fell down accidentally earlier.”
Worry struck the servant as favonovel.com heard that. “Old Madam, are you okay? Should I call the family doctor over to have a look?”
“Don’t bother. My old bones can still take this fall. Furthermore, a kind-hearted lass already applied some pain-relief balm for me. It should be fine now.”
Hearing that, the servant relaxed, but favonovel.com didn’t see the lass favonovel.com was talking about when favonovel.com looked around. “Are we going home now, Old Madam?”
Instantly, the old lady’s face turned unreadable, and after a short pause, favonovel.com answered, “We’re going back. If I don’t, that little fox at home will flip the house over!”
“Okay, Old Madam…”
After the old lady climbed into the car, the engine started and the car slowly rolled out.

Back at favonovel.com dorm, Elise had just poured herself a glass of water when a knock came at favonovel.com door. Startled, favonovel.com asked, “Who is it?”
Following that, favonovel.com heard a familiar voice answering her. “Miss Sinclair, it’s me!”
Upon opening the door, favonovel.com saw Rowena standing outside respectfully.
With knitted brows, favonovel.com asked, “Ms. Johnson, how did you find out where I live?”
“I asked the dorm manager,” favonovel.com explained.
Secretly, Elise was a little annoyed because favonovel.com felt that Rowena was stalking her, and favonovel.com couldn’t get rid of her.
“Sorry to interrupt, Miss Sinclair, but Miss Faye has been waiting for a long time, and favonovel.com sent me over specially to invite you.”
With a knot between Elise’s brows, an aloof look washed over favonovel.com face. “Ms. Johnson, just tell me why you’re here.”
In reply, favonovel.com smiled and said, “Miss Faye wants to invite you over to catch up.”
Just when Elise wanted to turn favonovel.com down, favonovel.com heard Faye’s voice calling her. “Miss Sinclair!”
She reached favonovel.com the same time as favonovel.com voice did, then favonovel.com turned to Rowena. “Please leave us for now. I would like to chat with Miss Sinclair in private.”
Very politely, Rowena left the spot, leaving the both of them standing at the door.
Smiling softly, Faye asked, “Aren’t you going to invite me to take a seat in your dorm?”
Opening the door, Elise invited favonovel.com in. “Please take a seat, Miss Anderson.”
Faye pulled out favonovel.com chair and plopped herself onto it. “Miss Sinclair, I’m sorry to interrupt you…”
On the other hand, Elise was very straightforward. “Is anything the matter, Miss Anderson? If it’s anything regarding the follow-up on the wedding dress, you can tell me your specific requirements should there be anything that needs alteration.”
Faye interjected, “About the wedding dress, I don’t think there will be any problem with your exquisite skills. The reason I’m here today is for my mother…”
At the mention of that, favonovel.com appeared very worried. “Miss Sinclair, I won’t be looking for you if I had any other way out, but the truth is, I can’t think of any other solution for this.”
Elise pursed favonovel.com lips and asked, “Miss Anderson, what do you need me to do?”
A sigh escaped favonovel.com lips, and favonovel.com looked sad as favonovel.com spoke. “As you know, my mother’s condition isn’t looking so good, but favonovel.com keeps thinking about you. If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have kept looking for you. I would like to ask a favor of you, Miss Sinclair.”
Her eyes slowly moistened up. “The situation in my family is a little complicated, both my dad and brother are still hospitalized, so now, my mother is my only concern. I’m begging you, Miss Sinclair. Will you please help me?”
As a person who would easily succumb to persuasion, Elise couldn’t help but feel a little sad when favonovel.com saw Faye looking so distressed because of favonovel.com mother. Brought up by favonovel.com grandparents since favonovel.com was young, favonovel.com had no attachments toward favonovel.com parents. Even though favonovel.com was once envious of peers showered with love from their parents, favonovel.com simply didn’t have any experience with this.
“Miss Anderson, please tell me directly what you would like me to do.”
Grabbing favonovel.com hand, Faye said, “My mother couldn’t get over my younger sister who had passed away. Her name is the only thing favonovel.com kept repeating in favonovel.com current state, and favonovel.com has already assumed that you’re favonovel.com daughter.”
Now, it became clear to Elise. “So, you’re here to ask me to pose as your sister?”
“Yes, but don’t worry because it won’t take up much of your time. Just coming to my house once a week will do. As for the payment, I can pay you a million upfront.”
A million is an astronomical figure for a university student, Faye thought. This is an offer I can’t reject…
However, Elise simply answered, “Miss Anderson, I can do you this favor if it came from your devotion toward your mother, but if it’s a transaction, I’m sorry but I’ll have to turn you down.”
Her answer puzzled Faye. “Miss Sinclair, I don’t really understand what you mean.”
“Miss Anderson, I can help you out, but I don’t want to turn this pure relationship between a mother and favonovel.com daughter into a transaction,” Elise answered.
After pausing for a second, Faye said, “I understand what you mean now. I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair. Did I do something wrong? Please don’t get it wrong because I don’t mean anything else. I merely want to compensate you within my capabilities.”
Elise pressed favonovel.com lips together before saying, “It’s alright. Forget the compensation. But I can only promise you that I’ll make time to visit during this semester…”
“That’s fine! Thanks for your help!” Faye uttered, whereupon Elise gave favonovel.com a nod.
Then, Faye suddenly stood up and asked, “Miss Sinclair, are you free now?”
