Ivy knew that Robert was only trying to be responsible by staying hwith her, as he used to stay out with his friends until ten at
night.
"Dad and the others should be back soon, right?" Ivy asked.
Once her parents were back, Robert would no longer have to stay with her all the time.
"They need to wait until Uncle Eric is discharged," he said, before covering his mouth. "We can't call him that anymore. He is going
to be our brother-in-law."
"Have they started dating, then?" She asked.
The servant walked over and placed a bowl of soup in front of Robert. "It's freshly made. Try it."
Robert immediately picked up his spoon and took a sip. "Yeah. It's thicker."

"The onion and mushroom are cooked until theypletely dissolved," the servant said. "This is your mother's favorite."
"Mushroom soup isn't that popular in Bridgedale, so Mom doesn't get to have great mushroom soup over there," Robert said.
"Uncle Eric will be discharged soon, anyway, so Mom should be hsoon."
"I thought you are calling him your brother-in-law from now on?" The servant teased.
Robert burst out laughing. "He isn't back yet. | will change the way | address him when he gets home."
Since everything was going smoothly, Ivy had developed an appetite. "Robert, | heard something funny from my classmate today,"
she said. "She saw this service on social media that offer to go to people's houses and remove their gray hair for them. It's the first
tI've ever heard about this. Isn't it funny?"
Robert was taken by surprise to learn about such a service. "How does she charge?"
"Depends on the customer," Ivy continued. "They charge more when there was more gray hair, so it varies depending on how
much gray hair they need to remove... There are even people who hire escorts to count how much gray hair they have. Whoever
thought of this must have a unique mind because | can't understand who would pay for a service like that."
"Hahaha! | guess everything is possible. There are a lot of poor people, but at the stime, there are a lot of rich people as well.
Wealthy people have no job and are free most of the time, so | guess they start acting strange when they have too much ton
their hands," Robert said.
"So long as it's a service that rich people might need, there will be people who are willing to offer it."
"Yeah... I'm pretty sure there are people who choose this service out of curiosity as well."
"Do you want to try it?" Robert said excitedly.
She chuckled. "I don't have any gray hair, though! Do you?"
"lI don't have any either. | don't think they earn much doing this service, though... Maybe just a basic service charge?" Robert
finished his soup and wiped his mouth clean. "There are escorts people hire to chat with."
"To chat with?"

"Yeah!" Haven't you heard of it before? They sometimes chat with you online... or they can meet you in person as well."
Ivy blushed.
"Ivy, should we try hiring an escort to spend twith us?" Robert had never hired such a service before and his interest was
piqued. Since their parents were not home, he wanted to try it.
Ivy choked. "Robert, are you serious?"
Robert immediately realized that Ivy misunderstood the meaning of escort and said, "lI am talking about the escort you hire for a
our homework too!"
"Oh! | guess it should be legitimate if you saw it on social media... you are doing fine with your studies, though. You probably don't
need help with your homework."
"Letjust hire one and try! We can play poker and chat!" Robert suggested excitedly.
