Chapter 1970
“Why can’t we eat meat? Our family eats meat every day!” Layla was puzzled and looked outside following Mrs. Cooper’s eyes.
“Today is your grandmother’s death anniversary. Your mother said to be vegetarian today to commemorate your grandmother.” Mrs. Cooper explained, “Layla, do you remember your grandmother?”
“I… Of course I remember my grandmother.” Layla said so, but in fact, her grandmother’s appearance in her heart was very light.
Grandma died too long ago.
She was too young at the time, and although Layla cried for her grandmother’s death at the time, the grief had long since faded away.
“Although there is no meat today, I put sugar. You can try it.” Mrs. Cooper coaxed, “I’ll make something delicious for you tomorrow morning.”
“I don’t like meat that much either.” Layla said, “I don’t need to eat meat.”
“Well. What did Aqi ask your mother for? It’s so mysterious.” Mrs. Cooper asked Layla in a low voice.
“I don’t know either. He didn’t tell me anything. I was doing homework in Teacher Larson’s study today, and he and Teacher Larson were staying in the living room. I heard the two of them chatting for a long time, I don’t know what they talked.” Layla took a bite of her meal.
Mrs. Cooper: “Aqi and you, Teacher Larson, are so speculative?”
Layla: “Teacher Larson sent two big packets of snacks to Uncle Aqi today…Mrs. Cooper, does Teacher Larson like Uncle Aqi?”
Mrs. Cooper: “It should be! Aqi looks like a talent, but it’s a bit dark… Your Teacher Larson has a good eye.”
Layla: “I also think Uncle Aqi is very handsome. But Uncle Aqi doesn’t seem to like Teacher Larson. Because Teacher Larson is Norah’s cousin, Uncle Aqi hates it very much.”
“Aqi didn’t do what he did. He really should be more careful. What if your Teacher Larson really has bad intentions?” Mrs. Cooper said, “Layla, your father shouldn’t have had an accident. We must keep this lesson in mind. In the future, apart from your relatives, you must not trust anyone at will.”
The front yard.
Aqi relayed to Avery what Katalina said to him today.
