Chapter 1203
“How’ve you been lately?” Rosalynn asked gently.
Liam nodded, “I’ve been fine.”
“Those guys got what they deserved.” Rosalynn pulled out an IOU note, “This is for you.”
Liam hesitated for a moment, then accepted it.
The weather had turned cold, and his hands were chapped, looking red and swollen.
Rosalynn felt a pang of pity.
“Thanks.” Liam looked at the content of the note, whispering a low “Thanks“.
He was too young at that time.
He had no idea how much money his parents had borrowed.
Was it really the amount that Abby told him?
“You should go back to school tomorrow, nobody will bother or bully you anymore. Rosalynn paused, then said
again, “Liam, I like you a lot, would you like to live with me?”
Liam was slightly taken aback.
He looked up at Rosalynn, his brows slightly furrowed, showing surprise, confusion, and… a bit of panic.

definitely hit it off.” Rosalynn continued.
“Cory Jared?” Liam asked.
“Yes, have you met him?” Rosalynn asked.
Liam shook his head, “He just arrived at school and solved a math problem I couldn’t.
Rosalynn didn’t downplay it, “Yep, his math skills are definitely something. You guys should hang out and learn from
each other.”
A gentle new mom.
A well–off new home.
Everything seemed so tempting.
But…
“Thanks for the offer. I saved Ivy, you helped me out, we’re square now.” Liam said, “You should go.”
This outcome was within Rosalynn’s expectations.
Liam was very strong.
How could he possibly be willing to rely on others?
“I won’t force you.” Rosalynn still spoke gently, “You have my number, if you change your mind or need any help,
feel free to call me.”
Liam nodded.
Rosalynn glanced at a nearby shop.
Several burly men inside were keeping an eye on her.
Liam seemed to sense her concern.
“I’ll go back to my place.”
“Alright.” Rosalynn replied, “I should go now.”
Liam nodded again.
Rosalynn didn’t stick around, she left straight away.
“Are you nuts?” A burly man dashed out as soon as Rosalynn left, “She’s filthy rich! Loads of people would kill for a
connection like that. She obviously wanted to adopt you, why did you turn her down?”
Liam was still so young.
Even if his greedy aunt and uncle left, a life alone can’t compare to one in a big house with someone to look after
him.
Liam lowered his gaze, not saying a word.
He started to pack his backpack in a leisurely manner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe thought a lot more than adults did.
She had her own kids, she just wanted to take me home out of pity.
Just like when people see a poor homeless dog on the street, they feel like taking them home. It was the same
thing.
But even if he was alone, he didn’t want to be a rescued pet.
Or merely a tool to accompany Ivy and Cory as they grew up.
Whether it’s a kitten or a puppy or a tool, they could easily be discarded once the owner lost interest.
He hated being abandoned.
So he decided not to go down that path from the beginning.

Late at night, Liam returned to his empty home.
He switched on the light.
The guys from the shop had cleaned the house very well.
The broken windows had been fixed.
And there was a new set of bedding in the bedroom.
