Chapter 380
Frank said, “I’d be near enough that way while you can make a living for yourself. What do you think?”
“Sure, that’s good.” Carol nodded repeatedly but soon paused. “But wouldn’t buying a whole shop be
very expensive? I don’t really need it that badly…”
Frank smiled. “Don’t worry–I can afford it.”
“Then… Thank you very much. I don’t know what else I can say,” Carold exclaimed, “Can I have Winter
with me too? Don’t worry–we won’t run away.”
“Are you still wary of me, Madam Zims?” Frank asked in surprise.
He could not say that he was not hurt with how careful she was around him, especially since he was
sincere.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarol shook her head and made sure Winter was not around before saying, “No… I think you know
about Winter’s situation too, that she’s not my daughter…?
“I am aware. I don’t mind telling you that I showed up at your snackbar the first time to look for her,”
Frank admitted, having no reason to hide it since Carol was now opening up to him.
Carol nodded in turn. “Yes, but Winter herself doesn’t know. I’ve raised her for twenty years, and I know
what she thinks–I can tell that she likes you too, but you’re both siblings.”
That was why Carol had to be careful, in case something amoral happened between Frank and Winter
as they cohabited.
Frank pursed his lips in awkwardness–so Carol thought he was Winter’s brother?
“You misunderstand, Madam Zims.” He smiled. “I actually adopted the last name of my mentor, who
took me in since I was an orphan. Winter is his only daughter, and before my mentor died, his last wish
was for me to take care of her.”
Carol did a double take before breathing a long sigh–so Frank was not Winter’s brother!
“Oh, you could have told me sooner,” she said wryly.
Frank scratched his head. “Actually, Winter’s life at your home is good, and that’s why I never told her.
There’s no chance to do that later on either.”
“I see… Well, I’m relieved,” Carol said, patting her chest. “Either way, Winter’s in your care now. She’s
young and headstrong at times, so I hope you could tolerate her more. I still have some money too. It’s
not much, but it’s enough for her dowry… Just pick a good date soon and tie the knot.”
“Yeah… huh?” Frank nodded repeatedly before he realized something was not right and quickly
explained, “No, Madam Zims, you misunderstand. Winter and I are not like that.”
“But you said Winter’s father asked you to take care of her before she died?” Carol asked solemnly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s only right you take care of her for the rest of your life.”
In other words, by marrying Winter.
Frank did a double take.

Carol spoke sense–he just never thought about it that way.
Still, he threw up his hands. “No, no… Let’s not discuss that for a while either. Winter’s still young and
hasn’t properly experienced society, and I don’t think we should tell her right now.”
He thought of Winter as a sister, and nothing romantic. Also, who would hook up with their mentor’s
daughter?
