His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1970

"Why not? We have meat every day before this!" Confused, Layla followed Mrs.

Cooper's motion and gazed outside as well.

"Today is the death anniversary of your grandma. Your mom proposed to go vegetarian for just one day in her memory," Mrs. Cooper explained. "Layla, do you remember your grandma?"

"I... Of course, I remember Grandma," Layla said when in truth, she could barely remember her grandmother's face.

It had been a long time since her death, and she had been rather young at the time. Though she had cried and mourned for Laura at the time, time had slowly taken away the pain.

"There's no meat on the menu, but I've added some sugar. Why don’t you try it?" Mrs. Cooper said. "I'll make you something nice tomorrow morning."

"I'm not that crazy about meat," Layla said as she picked up the spoon. ”1 am fine with no meat."

"Sure. What is George saying to your mom? He's acting all mysterious," Mrs. Cooper whispered.

"I don’t know either. He didn't say anything to me. I was working on my homework in Ms. Kennedy's study room and he was with her in the living room. I heard them chatting for a long time but I don't know what they were talking about." Layla took a bite of her food.

"So George and Ms. Kennedy are getting along really well, then?" "Ms. Kennedy gave him two enormous bags of snacks today... Mrs. Cooper, does that mean Ms. Kennedy likes Uncle George?

Mrs. Cooper blushed. "Maybe! George is rather handsome and tanned... Ms.

Kennedy has great taste."

"I think Uncle George is handsome, too, but he said he doesn't like Ms. Kennedy because she is Natalie's cousin. He hates her."

"He’s not entirely wrong. He should be more cautious. What would happen if Ms. Kennedy truly holds bad intentions?" Mrs. Cooper said. "Layla, nothing should have ever happened to your dad. We need to learn from this mistake and not trust anyone easily except for your family."

In the yard, George told Avery everything Leah had said to him earlier that day.

"It's true. She looks clueless but then she turns YMP? says something like that. I feel like she is trying to trick us." George instinctively concluded that Leah was the bait that Natalie was using.
