Billionaire Assassin

Chapter 39: Tear and rain.

Tommy looked at her, sighing heavily, his color withered like salted fish wet in the rain. The couple immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. His parents' instincts told them that he was sure to be heartbroken.

Immediately, Lana scolded Mr. Joseph, who did not understand the situation and was still enthusiastic about 'instructing foolishly', making the matter worse.

At first, Mr. Joseph did not believe things were as bad as Lana said, so he asked Tommy. He melancholy explained the main branch. When he heard it, he sighed and lamented, slapping his forehead and complaining about the stupidity of himself and Tommy.

Lana looked at her husband and children and shook her head in disgust, slowly eating rice first without waiting. Despite Mr. Joseph and Tommy arguing endlessly about the 'scope of responsibility' in the young boy's unfinished love story.

Lana feels insulted to live under one roof with men who do not understand this love.

After Lana had finished the third cup, both father and son Joseph and Tommy did not stop the childish war of words. She lightly tapped the table to remind them to focus on eating before she got angry. .

Women's words are always powerful and beautiful. "Leave it to me to worry about this. I'm just afraid that Miss Aurora or something won't accept this spoiled brat."

The following day, Tommy was 'carried by his neck' by Mr. Joseph and Lana and went straight to the pier. A large group of people appeared before Tommy was surprised to see Aurora also present. He suddenly asked Mr. Joseph and Lana, only to receive her disdainful smile.

Mr. Joseph became a reluctant explainer of his wife's ingenious 'plan'. Although Tommy's confession is considered a disaster by her, it is not without a solution. Lana advised him to get to know Aurora and approach, not pounce slowly. Otherwise, the same situation would happen again.

Mr. Joseph added, "Miss Aurora at first saw me as a student, but it's good to have more affection than others. Whatever you do, you should be persistent, don't be greedy, but if you're not clever, it will cause trouble."

Mr. Ethan and Lana went to greet the teachers and students with all their enthusiasm. Everyone was happy and praised Aurora for being lucky to have kind parents. But no one knows why the couple wants to help their son flirt with Aurora.

Tommy and Aurora looked at each other awkwardly. She also tried to greet him with a big smile, but Tommy's facial bone cancer was not a bit of fun. Aurora saw that, so she didn't want to force it anymore. She walked over to where everyone was talking bustlingly.

She absentmindedly found a quiet place to let herself be quiet, but the Head Teacher suddenly grabbed Aurora's hand and pulled her closer.

The Head Teacher introduces Mr. Ethan and Lana to Aurora: "This is Tommy's intern teacher."

"We already know! Tommy came home and told me a lot about you! Thank you, Ms. Aurora. It's thanks to you that he was able to come to class in such a decent manner. Our little boy Tommy is a stubborn boy and very difficult to teach. Later on, little Tommy will have to rely on you." Lana spoke excitedly as if all the aura was for Aurora. Helena Kinghams from afar is also a little uncomfortable.

Soon, Mr. Joseph and Lana began telling everything about Tommy that overwhelmed Aurora. Mr. Joseph and Lana portray the birth and growth of Tommy as a humorous story imbued with irony. Tommy looked like he wanted to cry at the exaggerated joke from his parents.

Aurora faintly heard the loss and gain but also partly grasped the story's content. Mr. Joseph and Lana now told everyone to prepare to wait for the boat to dock, then they will take a tour of Long Beach by water.

Everyone cheered except Aurora, who didn't enjoy the tour but still managed to put on a cheerful face to not disappoint Mr. Joseph and Lana. The two grandparents began to pay more attention to Aurora when she volunteered to distribute seasickness medicine to everyone.

The two excitedly talk to Aurora about Tommy through a few questions about his academic status. Then, Mr. Joseph winked at Tommy to come closer and pretended to pull Lana away to ask about the Head Teacher.

Only Tommy and Aurora were left. His hands were twisted together without knowing what to say. Aurora sighed. She looked at him and said: "Your parents are so lovely. Thank you very much!"

"I… I… don't like those two… go ahead and say it.” Tommy was embarrassed and didn't finish his sentence. Aurora realizes how adorable a budding boy's shyness is.

Even though she wasn't experienced, he acted like a cute little brother that she couldn't bear to hurt.

"I wish… someone said that about me." Aurora smiled thoughtfully at Tommy's silly thoughts. For Aurora, his shyness is her dream. How can an orphan like Aurora understand what it feels like to be teased by a parent? No matter how hard you try, you can't achieve it.

"You..." Tommy's eyes filled with surprise as he heard Aurora speak. He guessed it, but the ambiguity and subtlety that remained left him bewildered.

Aurora did not want Tommy to be awkward, so she smiled, trying to be as comfortable as possible: "I am an orphan."

The distant boat began to dock, and Aurora, Tommy, and the others began boarding the boat. Today the waves are calm, and everyone does not feel sluggish as usual, but Tommy is still close to Aurora.

He was afraid she wouldn't get used to it. Aurora thanked him but felt a little uncomfortable in the face of Helena Kinghams.

Her eyes looked annoyed and full of scrutiny as she kept staring at Aurora and Tommy. Some of the teachers were still chattering and praising Aurora non-stop because, thanks to her teaching Tommy, the whole group was able to participate in a fun session like this.

Helena Kinghams smiled, nodded according to those flattery words, and lifted Aurora up to the blue clouds. Mr. Joseph and Lana kept entwined with the Head Teacher and the staff to create opportunities and private space for Tommy and Aurora to be comfortable.

The boat floated slowly on the water, occasionally shaking slightly before the waves lapped against the side of the boat. Aurora was a little stunned. Tommy saw that and took some ginger candies from his pocket for her. Aurora thanks him.

Tommy raised his hand to Aurora's eye level, massaging gently into the skin between his index finger and thumb. He said it would make her much more stable and comfortable. Aurora followed suit, and she felt it worked wonders after a while.

Tommy wanted to prolong this good conversation, but he didn't know what to say. The air around both of them seemed to freeze.

Seeing Tommy's confused look, Aurora softened and asked about his family because she was also very curious how Mr. Joseph and Lana could raise an i***t like Tommy.

She also wanted to know how rich his family was, in the end, to be able to sponsor a group of students for a short cruise like this.

Tommy was as happy as catching gold. He started talking about his family with joy and pride, and Aurora was also surprised by his expression. According to Tommy, his parents met more than twenty years ago. Both of them are white-handed people who make careers.

However, their love affair also began dark because they married someone they did not love. During a long journey of more than twenty years, I was soaked in tears to the point of being unable to distinguish between sweat, rain, and tears.

Aurora looked at Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Lana with admiration for their complicated love.

Tommy's story continues to bring Aurora to his family's quiet and miserable days. Mr. Joseph used to fast for two or three days to make room for Lana and his first son, Jake, Tommy's brother.

Lana had only three sets of clothes for ten years and two pairs of worn-out sandals. Tommy's brother is a son who grew up from hardships, soaked in rain and sun, and faced the fierce sea since childhood. Jake also sacrificed his future, closing his dream to help his family.

It is also something that Mr. Joseph, Lana, and Tommy regret when it feels like robbing Jake's future. Tommy said this. His heart was not happy, and his eyes were sad.

When he mentioned his brother, she could tell his words had an inferiority complex. But Aurora felt that he seemed to respect and respect his brother more than guilt. She secretly envies Tommy because he has such a happy and warm family.
