Chapter 44- Desired she learn about a commoner's life

The next morning…

Ring!!! The alarm clock went off, Delilah turned on the bed to switch it off, she was about to reach out to the clock when someone switched it off before she could.

Still dazed from sleep, she rose from her bed, rubbed her eyes, stretched, caressed Rigby's fur and sat at the edge of the bed.

She was about to get up when she saw Anna, she jumped back into the bed shocked," Anna… you… you are already dressed, w-what time exactly do you wake up?"

Annabelle raised a brow and shook her head, little wonder Old madam Chen desired she learn about a commoner's life. Annabelle threw a towel onto Delilah's face, "I woke up while you were still snoring, go take your bathe", said Anna.

Delilah removed the towel from her face," Hey, I don't snore", she refuted.

Anna shrugged," But you do so…" she responded before sitting herself on a beanbag in the room.

" Humph, I do not snore", Delilah marched towards the bathroom.

When Delilah was ready for school, they headed out. They soon arrived in the dining room with Rigby behind them. The elders at the dining table were bewildered to see Delilah up so early, seems she's truly changing for the better.

Delilah: "Morning dad, morning grandma"

Annabelle: "Morning Mr. Chen, Morning madam Chen"

The girls bowed before they took their seats, the elders also responded with warm smiles.

They were about to eat when Anna's phone rang out, her face flushed. Chagrined at the type of phone she uses, she brought it out and excused herself to receive the call from her parents.

When Anna left, Chen Xiao turned to Delilah, "How do you feel now?"

Delilah smiled from ear to ear, "I'm so much better now, thanks dad", she replied cheerfully.

" Hm! That's more like it, but I'll still have a doctor check on you, alright?" he said and Delilah nodded. Chen Xiao now turned to Mr. Tang Yu, he reached out his hand and Mr. Tang Yu carefully placed a little wrapped box in his hand.

"Here, for your friend", Chen Xiao winked as he passed the little wrapped box to Delilah.

" What's in there?" the quite Old madam Chen asked.

" Nothing important, but I'm sure Anna will like it", Chen Xiao responded.

"Alright dad, I'll give it to her", Delilah smiled sweetly before she placed the box in her backpack.

"What happened last night?" Old madam Chen interrogated.

The pair of father and daughter looked at each other, "Well, it- it was just a bad dream grandma" said Delilah.

Old madam Chen's ear perked up," Bad dream? Tell me about it, I'll have us go to the temple to pray about it".

...

The girls soon arrived at school.

After the morning assembly, the students reported to their various classes.

Ring!- That was the bell for the first class

With his unweaving stern face, Mr. Zhou walked into the class, with a ruler in one hand and a number of books in his other armpit. The class became silent, even the sounds of breathing weren't heard.

His piercing gaze scanned the class, and it seemed all the students expect one were on their guards…. His lips curved into a sinister smile.

Delilah oblivious to what was going on had herself lost in thoughts, she couldn't help thinking of the dream she had last night as melancholy flashed across her eyes.

Meanwhile, the students began sweating buckets seeing the smile on Mr. Zhou's face, they all could tell what that signature smile was, he's found his prey!

After writing an equation on the chalkboard, Mr. Zhou said," Delilah Chen, how about you come on up and solve this equation?"

Delilah felt a lot of gaze on her, and she could swear she heard a demon call her name just now," H-huh!?" she was confused.

Anna leaned close," Uhm… Mr. Zhou wants you to solve the question", she smiled so confidently that it was blinding.

Delilah was bewildered, why is Anna smiling so confidently at her, she doesn't you a single thing about mathematics, okay!

" Delilah Chen!" Mr. Zhou was running thin on patience.

Delilah cleared her throat, she rose from her seat," Ahem! Mr. Zhou, I…."

" I would love to solve the question sir" a cool and clear voice interrupted Delilah. Of course, it was no other person than Fredrick.
