Chapter 29 Promise Me Something Audrey had mixed feelings when she saw Kelsey’s new post on Timeline.
In her previous life, she had misunderstood Rylan, thinking that he only cared about Elise and Kelsey, Later, he had a car accident and was lying in bed, unable to move. Yet after learning that she was imprisoned, he moved his broken b*dy, knelt down, and begged them. to let her go, saying that he was willing to die in her place. Only then did she know that in fact, he loved her deeply.
She was certain that Elise must have done something to make Rylan, who loved her and Danna so much, not want to come home.
She checked the location attached to Kelsey’s post and asked the driver to send her over.
Carlie’s family owned the seafood restaurant. As soon as Audrey entered, she saw Rylan and Elise sitting by the window with Kelsey across from them.
Elise peeled a crab and fed it to Rylan’s mouth. He opened his mouth and ate the crab meat. Seeing the scene, Audrey felt a tingling in her eyes. She thought, “That woman seems to love Dad so much, yet she didn’t show any mercy when she made him doomed!”
From where Kelsey was sitting, she saw Audrey coming from the door at once. Seeing the sullen look on Audrey’s face, Kelsey figured that she was jealous and was secretly enjoying herself.

Kelsey thought, “So what that Mom and | got kicked out? Rylan cares. about us and favors us still.” “Audra, you're here.” Kelsey smiled, standing up.
Elise turned around and saw Audrey. She stood up from her seat, looking harmless and gentle. “It’s so late. Why are you here, Audra?”
Audrey greeted Elise politely, and then she rushed toward Rylan and sat next to him.
She put her hands around Rylan’s arm and shook it, acting all cute. “Dad, you didn’t come home yesterday. Grandma and | missed you.”
Rylan looked at Audrey, his sweet, obedient daughter, and fondly stroked her hair. “I worked late last night, and | was near where Elise lives, so | stayed the night there.”
Audrey knew it was just an excuse, but she didn’t expose Rylan. “Dad, | don’t feel safe without you at home,” Audrey said coquettishly, pouting. Rylan smiled helplessly, “Silly girl.”
Elise took a glass of milk and sat down on the other side of Rylan. She naturally took his arm and smiled, “Audra, you have the monthly exam the day after tomorrow, don’t you? Why don’t you stay with us tonight? Kel can help solve anything you don’t understand.”
Audrey mumbled, “I don’t dare to. I’m afraid she'll hurt my pride again.”
Kelsey's expression changed. She wanted to snap while Elise shook her head at her. “| heard that you’ve become much more obedient and behaved these

days, Audra. Surely, you will do better in this month’s exam, right? Key said she would try to make it to the top three of the grade. Well, | don’t have to worry too much when it comes to her academic performance.”
Elise was suggesting that no matter how much Audrey improved, she would never make it to the top three of the grade. Compared with Kelsey, Audrey would always be the disappointing loser.
Rylan thought of Audrey’s grades and shook his head in disappointment.
“Dad, if | can make it to the top three of the grade as well, can you promise me something?” Audrey said, her voice crisp. The atmosphere was a bit stiff after she finished speaking.
Kelsey covered her mouth and almost burst out laughing.
She thought, “Audrey, you want to make it to the top three? You're useless and dumb.
“Well, you're also cheeky and confident. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? But you're always brazen. It makes sense that you aren't embarrassed at all.”
Kelsey lowered her eyes with a flash of disdain.
Then she picked up her phone, secretly took a photo of the seafood restaurant, and posted it on her Timeline. She changed the settings, and only Carlie from Class 10 could see her post.
Kel Here: “I’m panicking a bit.”
