Chapter 370 - The Musician (9) (2/2)

”You can't!” I blurted.

”You may wake him up when he hasn't slept in weeks,” I told him why I didn't wake him.

”You can't stay in the mansion mostly by yourself,” Alex ignored my concerns.

”I'll watch over Luke. How can watching over the mansion be hard?” I tried to dismiss his worries.

”You're probably ordering cake for breakfast, aren't you? And you're not planning to study or even touch the lessons sent by the teachers,” he crossed his arms.

I stiffened as his suspicions were confirmed once four whole cakes suddenly appeared on the dining room table behind me. I pretended there was nothing there as I tried to block the view from the camera. Instead of waking Luke, he was trying to watch over me for him. Ending the call before all the cakes would be confiscated, I stuffed the cakes inside my mouth. Alex also had access to this mansion as Luke gave him the identification tag for emergency purposes.

This was why I didn't notice him standing behind me as he tried to silently enter the mansion to let Luke continue sleeping. I reached my arms out for the other two cakes I couldn't touch yet as he ordered the servants to take them away. Licking the cream on my lips, I disappointingly sat down on the chair. In some ways, Alex was more inflexible than Luke. I wondered why Shelly wasn't here to visit with him as I started to leave the room.

”We're going to catch up on the lessons,” he grabbed my wrist.

I sighed as I nodded my head to follow him into the library. Once we entered a study room there, I could make as much noise as I wanted with the soundproof rooms. I continued to stand while Alex gestured to me to sit down on a chair. The table was filled with materials we had missed from the past few days. Since we were behind the other class, there were more to cover than usual. My newfound freedom shattered as I knew these would take days to finish in the time-space room.

”I want to sleep,” I grumbled.

”Open the book Rika,” he narrowed his eyes.

”Can't we continue this once Luke wakes up?” I turned my head away from him.
