Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 25

Elise was chewing on her pen when she heard the question. In response, she quickly lifted her head to glance at Alexander and hummed.

“When’s the competition?” Alexander asked again.

“Next Friday at Athesea High.” As she recalled Jack had once mentioned that Alexander had taken part in a Mathematics Olympiad competition before too, she added, “I heard you participated in a Mathematics Olympiad competition before and had even won the first prize. Do you have any tips for me?”

Alexander lifted his brows slightly. “That was a long time ago, so I can’t be of much help now.”

Elise hummed in response and said nothing else. As such, the atmosphere in the car went silent once again. Fortunately, they arrived at the Griffith Residence in no time.

After the car stopped, Elise opened the door and got out of the car. Then, she walked into the living room after changing her shoes on the porch and saw Jonah having tea leisurely while sitting on the couch. “Ellie, you’re home!”

“Hi, Grandpa,” Elise addressed Jonah courteously.

Joy spread across Jonah’s face when he saw Elise. “How are things at school, Ellie? Just tell me if you’re

unhappy with anything, or you can complain to those few rascals too. Don’t let yourself suffer.”

“Alright, Grandpa! You don’t have to worry about me.”

“You’re such a polite child. Jonah said with a bright smile. Then, he saw Alexander who just entered the house. “Alex, please help me to look after Ellie if she needs anything. She’s a girl, so we should give her more care.”

Alexander did not refute Jonah’s words but answered indifferently, “Alright, Grandpa.”

Jonah couldn’t be bothered about Alexander’s apathetic response. So, he diverted his attention back to Elise and
