Chapter 258
Chapter 258
Zinnia used to study at a school whose education was different from Evershine High. As she was suddenly transferred to an unfamiliar environment, her living environment had changed, and there would be great impact on her.
It wasn’t just her academic performance that was concerning. What really mattered was her emotional well–being under so much pressure.
She was only seventeen. Most girls her age would likely be overwhelmed by all this.
Yet she had managed to keep high scores in reading and writing, as well as language. This was evidence of her hard work.
But her science remained a challenge, and long–term effort would be required for her to catch up.
“Yannis, if you don’t care about my grades, why did you ask if I have anything to tell you after I came back?” asked Zinnia.
After spending so much time with Yannis, Zinnia could tell when he was joking or serious. Since he didn’t care about her grades, she felt no guilt and perked up right away.
Staring at this handsome man, she wondered, ‘He looks really not to know I came dead last or snuck snacks, but his reaction tells another story. Why is
that?
“Won’t you have a parent–teacher meeting?” Yannis asked.
Yannis had studied at Evershine High before, so he knew all about its policies.
“Yes, we will,” Zinnia replied, puzzled by his question.
“Who are you planning to invite as your guardian?” Yannis asked, with his gaze locked intently on her.
He thought, ‘She looks completely carefree. Has she already had someone in mind?‘
“Mom, of course,” Zinnia replied.
Yannis thought, ‘Oh, right. I forgot she has Yvette as her mother now.‘
Yannis raised an eyebrow. “Do you think she can cover for both you and Maisie?”
“Why not? Maisie and I are family.” Zinnia was confused.
Yannis said without changing his expression, “Even so, she can’t appear as the parent of you both. Do you think she can handle both your situation and Maisie’s at the same time? What if she gets things mixed up?”
“If not, I’ll ask Charlie for help,” Zinnia said.
Zinnia wasn’t familiar with Evershine High’s rules. Seeing how serious Yannis looked, she felt his words made sense.
She thought, ‘The meeting will drag on for a long time. If Mom has to hear about both me and Maisie, she’ll be overwhelmed.
‘Does Charlie have time? I should check with him later.‘
Yannis said, “Charlie has been busy lately.”
He thought, ‘I can’t believe her first thought was to turn to the Lynn family.‘
“Maybe I should check with Jackson.” Zinnia changed her target, though she knew Jackson was probably occupied these days.
Yannis said, “Jackson has also been busy lately. He is running around like a headless chicken.”

“Well…” Hearing Yannis’s words, Zinnia decided not to bother Jackson. She thought, ‘Maybe I should ask Grandpa Henry or Grandpa Raymond instead.
Yannis said, “Your grandparents are getting on in years. The parent teacher meeting can really drag on, and sitting for that long wouldn’t be good for their health.”
Zinnia thought helplessly, ‘Now there’s really no one I can ask. Even Master isn’t here!
“How about Perry?” asked Zinnia.
Zinnia thought of Perry because he was Yannis’s good friend, and he was young enough to handle a parent–teacher meeting. She felt Perry would help
her.
Yannis said, “Perry is busy with some messy family business. He doesn’t have time for you.”
He thought wryly, ‘She even considered Perry. How could she not think of me? I’m a perfect option right in front of her.‘
“Yannis, do you have any suggestions? Even Toby would do,” Zinnia pleaded helplessly.
