Zach stomped his foot in frustration and asked, "Why? Nan, why?"

Nancy smiled at Andrew and said, "Because he took me in!"

"Great!"

Old Mrs. Lesser exclaimed excitedly and looked at Nancy admiringly.

Nancy had told Old Mrs. Lesser before that she came to see Andrew not to become a daughter of the Lesser family or for their wealth but simply to find her father whom she had shared joys and sorrows with for over twenty years.

At that time, Old Mrs. Lesser didn't believe her because the Lesser family was like a delicious cake and anyone, whether related or not, wanted a piece.

For example, Alexander.

But at that moment, Old Mrs. Lesser finally believed that Nancy was sincere. By choosing Andrew as her master over Zach, Nancy showed that what she cared about most was the bond between her and Andrew.

Her remark explained everything.

Since she couldn't be Andrew's biological daughter, she would become his apprentice and continue to treat him as her father, which was her deepest desire.

Old Master Lesser also clapped his hands in joy.

To Andrew and the Lesser family, accepting an apprentice didn't matter much, but he was deeply touched by Nancy's sincerity.

It was a pity that Nancy wasn't Andrew's biological daughter, otherwise...

Alas...

There was no use in thinking about it.

Andrew looked at Nancy and chuckled with a sincere smile on his face.

He raised his hand and patted Zach's shoulder. When Zach turned to look at him, he raised an eyebrow triumphantly and said, "Pick another apprentice. I will never let go of mine."

"You... You... You..."

Zach's face turned livid with anger, but he couldn't say anything more. He couldn't even lay a finger on Andrew as he suspected Andrew would fall to the ground with just a light pat.

He glared at Andrew for a while and then quickly calmed down.

"Hahaha..."

He shook his head and laughed, "Andrew, I didn't lose to you. I lost to the past connection between you and Nan. Alright, I'll continue my tour. When you two join the final competition, I'll be your mentor. We'll meet again."

He pretended to be carefree, but he felt frustrated inside.

He really lost to a disabled person!

After exchanging a few more words with Nancy, Zach couldn't stay any longer as he was so frustrated. He hated that feeling!

After he left, Andrew's gaze towards Nancy became softer.

"Nan, come to the Lesser family's mansion after you've recovered."

Nancy hesitated because something bad happened the first time she went to the Lesser family's mansion.

Old Mrs. Lesser said happily, "You're Andrew's apprentice, right? If we don't throw you a ceremony, how can he be your master?"

"Oh!"

Nancy nodded. Although she was happy, she knew Charlie didn't like the Lesser family. So she didn't answer but looked at Charlie...
