Bab 530: I Just Don't Like Him

"May I ask what do your parents do?" Wendy bent lower to look at Mark, asking gently.

"My mom is a lawyer and my dad an architect," he replied.

"A lawyer and an architect. Oh, they must be very busy people then," Wendy responded.

However, now that she had met Mark, she realized that she had been biased.

In fact, all the kids these days were smart.

"Yes, they're always very busy, and often go away for business," Mark said, sounding a little forlorn when he mentioned their business trips.

It would appear that there was yet another child yearning for his parent's constant attention.
