Chapter 23 - Jorah's Troubles

...

<POV: Carene>

I walked closer to my new home's front door and pushed it open to walk inside.

As I went deeper into the house and approached the living room, an absolutely adorable girl was sitting on the sofa as she was glaring at some books place on the nearby table very pitifully.

Jorah seemed to be in some trouble with her studies. Perhaps her new assignment?

I think what I really need right now is to get my thought process straight and void thinking all about the stupid negative stuff.

Plus, Jorah is a nice girl. Helping her out would surely improve my mood as well.

After making up my decision, I approached te troubled girl ad sat next to her as I tried to understand the content of her book. This seems somewhat familiar though..

Jorah looked up at me in surprise, before a happy and cheerful smile broke out on her innocent face.

"Wow! It's Sister Carene? Welcome back!"

Upon hearing her delightful voice, a light giggle escaped my lips as I couldn't help but pet the girl's Brown hair a little.

"Yeah. I am very happy to be back too, Jorah. Is there something bothering you with the studies? I can help you if there us anything that I could help with."

Jorah's eyes started to shine amazingly, as if there were multiple stars shining within them. The adorable girl jumped up to hug my neck and pecked my cheek a bit, after which she asked me with a big smile,

"Really?! You would actually study with me? YAY!! I am sure that with Big sister Carene's help, I won't be scolded again tomorrow. It's so great!"

Although Jorah had become very happy and excited, I just couldn't help but notice something that she spoke just now. In the end, my inner curiosity probed me into asking her about it.

"Scolding? The teachers at school scold you, Jorah? Who was it? When did it happen? You can tell me all about it, alright? I will make sure that whoever dared to scold our Jorah gets an earful of scolding from me instead!"

A look of panic flashed across Jorah's little face and she clung to arm intensely as she asked me in a desperate voice,

"No! Please don't do that. I-I will take care of this myself... Big Sister Carene shouldn't trouble herself for someone like me... Just forget about it, okay?"

Jorah looked at me with a very pleading expression. And although I really felt like doing something about the girl's problems, but intruding into her private life matters without her permission would only make things worse between us.

To really solve this issue, I must get to know Jorah better. Let's try convincing her to agree to accept my help sometime later. I don't want her to hide her pain even deeper within herself.

In the end, I couldn't help but nod to Jorah in agreement as I moved my attention towards Jorah's books.

Alright. Let's try to help her studies first then.

<POV: Isla>

I really should be going back now.

I don't remember how many drinks I had so far tonight. Judy and her friends had gone away to have fun on their own.

Really now... a foursome? That woman is really a bit too daring.

Youngsters of the new age, it seems. Though, I am really glad that she spared me from participating. Really, I don't even know what I am doing here anymore.
