When Laurence received the call from Nicole, he was washing Adela's mother's feet. He was slightly stunned at seeing Nicole's number. Then, he thought of the look of Nicole losing her mind and said, "Auntie, I've got a phone call."
Laurence stood up, but before he could leave, Cynthia kicked over the basin under her feet.
"What are you busy with all day? Are you too busy to wash my feet? If Adela were still alive, she would cook for me, let alone wash my feet. You said you would be good to me like Adela did. But what about now? Your promise is just tongue-in-cheek. Laurence, I'm telling you, you have to listen to me here. Although you bought this house, don't forget who Adela died for!"
Cynthia's voice was very harsh.
Laurence felt like his heart was torn open again before the cut could be healed.
Adela's death was a taboo to Laurence. If others mentioned it, he would definitely shut them up. However, Cynthia was Adela's mother, so Laurence could only stand her.
"Auntie, I have something to do. I'll bring you another basin of water later."
Laurence said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Cynthia was infuriated when she saw Laurence like this.
Why is this man still alive?
He was just for experiment. Why should Adela die for him?
Cynthia thought of Adela when she saw Laurence. If Laurence's death could bring Adela back to life, she would be looking forward to Laurence's death.
"Piss off! Don't show up in front of me. I'm angry to see you."
Cynthia roared in anger and threw the items at hand to Laurence.
The pain in Laurence's heart was much hurt than that in his body.
Endured the pain silently, Laurence turned around and left the room.
Cynthia's constant curse came from behind.
Laurence was afraid that Nicole would overthink if she heard this, so he walked far enough to call back.
"Mrs. Green, what can I do for you?"
Laurence's voice was as cold as ever.
Nicole frowned slightly and whispered, "Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"
"I'm a bit busy just now."
Laurence skipped the details.
"Is it urgent? I can call you back later."
Nicole suddenly felt sorry.
Although Laurence was her assistant, there were still many things to do in the new Night Elf Empire. Laurence won't be on call all the time. She was being in lack of consideration.
But Laurence said indifferently, "It's OK. All is done. Mrs. Green, if you need anything, just tell me."
Nicole sighed.
Laurence was always like this. Since Adela passed away, he had been stuck in his world. He put himself inside it. No one could enter his world and he could not get out from it.
Laurence being like this was quite pitiful.
Nicole softened her voice a lot.
"Nothing serious. I just want you to prepare for the special training and pick out some people in Night Elf Empire. I might need some men in the New Year."
"Did something happen?"
Laurence was a sensitive person. Usually, Nicole didn't ask for people. Now she suddenly did so. Something must be going to happen.
Nicole nodded and said, "Well, I heard that Major might have some plans on New Year's Day. It's always good to be on guard."
"Alright, I'll deal with it immediately."
Laurence hurriedly said.
He couldn't be careless about anything about Nicole.
However, Nicole said, "There no need to be in rush now. Laurence, it's almost the New Year. You should take a holiday. Don't always be busy with work. I don't think Cara has been too busy recently. Why don't you go to see a movie with her or something?"
"Mrs. Greene, I'm very busy. I have a lot of things to deal with in the new Night Elf Empire. I don't have time to date others. Besides, Cara and I are not suitable for each other. She would meet a better man who would cherish her and live a good life with her. And I'm not her right man."
Laurence interrupted Nicole in time.
"How do you know that you're not the right man for her if you don't give it a try? I think Cara is nice. You two are well matched."
As the New Year approached, Nicole suddenly wanted to be a go-between.
But Laurence whispered, "Mrs. Green, you know about me. I only love Adela."
"But Adela passed away. If she were still alive, she would hope you can live a happy life."
"I'll get back to this later. Bye."
Laurence hung up the phone directly. He turned around and saw Cynthia standing behind him with her glare at him.
"Well, I've been wondering why you don't care about me anymore. It turns out that you've been dating someone else. My daughter died for you, but you hurried to another relationship in less than a year after she died. Laurence, are you planning to kill me and my husband? Or you are going to drive us out?"
Cynthia's voice was so sharp that it was like the squeaky noise of a knife scraping against the glass. It sounded piercing.
Laurence frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Auntie, you're overthinking it. I won't fall in love again. I don't want anyone but Adela."
"Don't pay lip service to me! What was that woman's name? Tell me. I'm going to see if she's prettier than my daughter. Otherwise, how could she seduce you?"
Hearing Cynthia's words, Laurence couldn't help but frown.

What is it with Chinese authors.
