Chapter 1981
When His Eyes Opened
âWhy canât we eat meat? Our family eats meat every day!â Layla was puzzled and looked outside
following Mrs. Cooperâs eyes.
âToday is your grandmotherâs death anniversary. Your mother said to be vegetarian today to
commemorate your grandmother.â Mrs. Cooper explained, âLayla, do you remember your
grandmother?â
âI⦠Of course I remember my grandmother.â Layla said so, but in fact, her grandmotherâs 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 grandmotherâs death at the time, the
grief had long since faded away.
âAlthough there is no meat today, I put sugar. You can try it.â Mrs. Cooper coaxed, âIâll make something
delicious for you tomorrow morning.â
âI donât like meat that much either.â Layla said, âI donât need to eat meat.â
âWell. What did Aqi ask your mother for? Itâs so mysterious.â Mrs. Cooper asked Layla in a low voice.
âI donât know either. He didnât tell me anything. I was doing homework in Teacher Larsonâs 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 donât know what they talked.â Layla took a bite of her meal.
Mrs. Cooper: âAqi and you, Teacher Larson, are so speculative?â
Layla: âTeacher Larson sent two big packets of snacks to Uncle Aqi todayâ¦Mrs. Cooper, does Teacher
Larson like Uncle Aqi?â
Mrs. Cooper: âIt should be! Aqi looks like a talent, but itâs a bit dark⦠Your Teacher Larson has a good
eye.â
Layla: âI also think Uncle Aqi is very handsome. But Uncle Aqi doesnât seem to like Teacher Larson.
Because Teacher Larson is Norahâs cousin, Uncle Aqi hates it very much.â
âAqi didnât do what he did. He really should be more careful. What if your Teacher Larson really has
bad intentions?â Mrs. Cooper said, âLayla, your father shouldnât 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.â
The front yard.
Aqi relayed to Avery what Katalina said to him today.
âMiss Tate, I donât know if I should believe what she said. I didnât tell her everything about my boss.â
âDoes Katalina really say that?â Avery was very surprised.
Katalina actually wanted to help them by going to Norahâs place to collect information.
âItâs absolutely true. She looks like she doesnât understand anything, but she actually said such
complicated things. I feel like she might want to lie to us.â Aqiâs conditioned reflex felt that Katalina was
the bait thrown by Norah.
âAqi, donât rush to deny her.â Avery frowned slightly, âEven if this is Norahâs plan, I would like to see
what Norah will do in the future.â
Aqi said, âYou mean, let me go to Act with Katalina?â
Avery said, âYes. If she continues to talk to you about this topic tomorrow, you can follow her words.
Letâs see what information she can get from Norah.â
Aqi: âOh, okayâ¦â
âAqi, you look a little nervous.â Avery said, âIf Katalina really wants to help us, it must be because of
you.â
Aqi: âMiss Tate, donât talk nonsense.â
Avery: âShe sent me a message about Layla the past two days, and she had a chance to tell me about
it. But she didnât tell me. She told you that she wanted you to remember it. Sheâs good.â
âEven if she doesnât have bad intentions, she wants to help us find the boss, but with her ability, she
may not be able to help.â Aqi calmly said, âMiss Tate, we donât need to hold her too much confidence.
Besides, who knows if the bossâs business has anything to do with Norah. When Katalina said those
words to me, it felt like she was fishing.â
âIf sheâs just catching your fish, think about it carefully and donât be affected by other factors. Katalina
may or may not be with Norah. If youâre interested in her, you can decide after getting to know her.â
Avery reminded.
Aqi: âMiss Tate, are you all so casual when you fall in love? Iâve only known her for a few days!â
Avery: âI met your boss after we got married.â
Aqi: â⦠â
â¦â¦.
