Sorry, I'm the Final Boss Now novel Chapter 124

Marguerite found the doctor-prescribed scar cream in Jenny’s bedside table. She was walking back toward the sofa, tube in hand, when the door swung open.

“Maggie, I’m back,” Aaron said, clutching his backpack straps as he eyed the man on the sofa.

“Fairy Marguerite! Good to see you again!” Yellow chirped, grinning excitedly.

Marguerite smiled, surprised Aaron had brought Yellow along. “I take it neither of you has evening classes.”

Yellow pouted. “Don’t talk about school at a happy time like this!”

Aaron saw the cream in Marguerite’s hand. “What are you doing with that?”

Marguerite pointed at George. “He has a couple of small scars on his hand. We bought two tubes, right? I was going to give him one to try.”

Aaron’s lips thinned. He took the cream from her. “You bought this for me. If he needs some, he can buy it himself.” He turned and finally got a good look at the man’s face. He looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t place him. It was clear, though, that this guy was much older than Marguerite.

At that moment, George stood up and walked toward them, his voice refined and gentle. “Hello, I…”

“Hello,” Aaron cut him off, then nudged Yellow with his elbow.

“Hello, Uncle George!” Yellow added cheerfully.

George was momentarily speechless. His smile remained, though his eyes darkened slightly. “Do I really look that old?”

Aaron nodded. He didn’t like this new boyfriend of Marguerite’s either.

Marguerite then turned to Yellow. “You, too.”

Yellow, who was already helping himself to fruit, looked up in confusion. “Say what?”

Marguerite jerked her chin toward George. “Show some respect.”

George’s warm gaze was fixed on her, all his earlier displeasure gone. All he could hear was her voice, defending him.

Yellow complied easily, then took a few bites of watermelon and offered some to Aaron.

Aaron, in no mood for food, glared at him. “Is eating all you think about?”
