Chapter 588 Bet As You Wish (1/2)

Summer hurried over to the door as soon she saw Jonny. She opened the door and took the books from his hands, putting them back in their shelf categorically.

”I won't have free time today. Let's plan for the day after tomorrow?” asked Jonny over the phone. He leaned against the door frame as he continued, ”Of course, I can spare some time the day after tomorrow, after all, it is your birthday!”

Summer couldn't help but overhear Jonny's conversation as she put the books back in the shelf. She could feel tremors run down her hand.

She pretended not to have heard Jonny's conversation as she climbed down the wooden ladder.

Jonny chatted away over the phone oblivious to Summer, ”Hey little girl, you are already sixteen years old! Stop acting like a spoilt child, now you're all grown up. Okay, I know. I will see you the day after tomorrow,” said Jonny before hanging up.

Jonny looked up to find Summer at the foot of the ladder, in front of the shelf, transfixed holding a book in her hand.

”Give it to me,” Jonny offered

and held out his hand.

Her petite form hindered her from reaching the higher shelves, forcing her to use the ladder every time.

Summer, jolted out of her daze, quickly passed him the book.

”Was that Sharon on the line? We are in the same school. She is really good at her studies,” Summer said.

Jonny put the book back and replied indifferently, ”Yes.”

Sharon was only one year younger than Summer. Although they were not in the same grade, they were in the same school which allowed them to meet occasionally.

”Do you have plans to go out together? Could I come with you?” Summer asked in earnest.

She looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Summer, having learnt that he had free time the day after tomorrow, didn't want to lose this precious opportunity to hang out with him. She really wanted to go out with him.

At such a tender age, she was very transparent and spoke her mind easily.

Jonny turned to look for another book he had wanted and replied, ”It's Sharon's birthday the day after tomorrow. If you want to go, I have no problem. However, I must caution you that Sharon is known for her quick temper and she may pick on you.”

”Why would she? She is like a younger sister. Moreover, she is my Junior Sister apprentice. I could never be angry with her.” Summer said.

When Jonny agreed to her attending Sharon's party, she trilled.

”Well, then it shall appear that I will arrive bearing two gifts. You can meet me here the day after tomorrow and we can go together,” said Jonny in a faint tone, then he pulled out one of the many books on the shelf.
