He sighed and confessed, “I come from the countryside and started out as a henchman, same as Haley's father. Both of us come from poor families. When we were kids, it wasn't easy for our parents to afford the tuition of primary school, let alone high school and college. How could a rich Lady like you understand the value of the chance to study? You would never understand how hard it was for the poor Like us.

Haley's father and I were in the same class. We were seatmates. We treated each other like family. After our middle school graduation, I went to Look for a job in the city while Haley's father joined the army. In the beginning, we were both frugal and diligent. Over a decade later, we both had our own families. We were so busy with our respective Lives that we didn't have the time to visit each other, so we only kept in contact through letters."

Hearing this, Haley was utterly dumbfounded.

He murmured in a daze, "How... How come I didn't know about this?" Reece ignored him and continued, "Finally, I managed to save some money by running a small business. One day, I received terrible news—Haley's father had died in a rescue mission. Haley's mother wrote to me, saying that Haley had dropped out of school and come to Sheffield to work. She asked me if I could help her son settle down.

I didn't plan to open an electronic shop at first because, like I said earlier, I'm not well-educated. I knew little about electronic products. But Haley's mother mentioned in the letter that Haley used to work at an Internet cafe in Sheffield as a network administrator. I wanted Haley to hone his skills, so I used up all my savings to open my store. I wanted him to do something he was good at."
