Just as Lauren was about to grab the glass of water, she saw a math exercise book on the table in the living room.

It was only then that she remembered the question she wanted to ask Susan Harding.

“Auntie, when did Ruby learn about math? She’s so amazing! She’s ranked first in our class.”

To Lauren’s surprise, Susan Harding shook her head.

“I don’t know when my child learned it either. When the math teacher told me about it, I was also surprised.”

“Huh?”

Lauren Torres could not help but ask.

“Ruby’s math has already reached the level of junior and senior high school. She’s so amazing. Auntie, you actually don’t know?”

Susan Harding frowned and shook her head. “I don’t know. Last year, she couldn’t even do addition for a single digit. This year, she inexplicably stopped reading those storybooks and became much quieter.”

Susan Harding sighed.

“So, Lauren, if you’re free, come visit her more often. It’s not good for her to stay in her room reading all day.”

Just as Susan Harding finished speaking, Ruby Cromwell’s room door opened.

Ruby Cromwell was wearing a gray dress today, which made her look even paler.

Seeing Ruby Cromwell come out, Lauren Torres jumped off the sofa.

“Ruby, are you ready? If you’re ready, we’ll be leaving. Otherwise, we’ll be late and there’ll always be traffic on weekends.”

Ruby Cromwell nodded.

“I’m ready.”

“Auntie, Ruby and I are leaving now.”

“Okay, you guys go ahead. Have fun.”

Before leaving, Susan Harding helped Ruby Cromwell adjust her collar and tied her hair into a braid.

On the way, Ruby Cromwell did not talk much as usual. If Lauren Torres asked her questions, she would answer. But she would never take the initiative to speak. She kept looking out of the window.

Lauren Torres kept thinking about the chocolate cake. She licked her lips and then asked, “Ruby, you and your mother…”

Upon hearing this, Ruby Cromwell immediately turned her head. She was so fast that it surprised Lauren Torres.

“What’s wrong?” Ruby Cromwell asked.

“Um… nothing. I just wanted to ask if you and your mother have a good relationship?”

“My mother and I? We’re not that close. Why did you suddenly ask this question?”

Ruby Cromwell’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
