"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 tsince her death, and she had been rather young at the time. Though she had cried and mourned for Laura at the time, thad slowly taken away the pain.
"There's no meat on the menu, but I've added ssugar. 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.
Follow current on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"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 tbut 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 handsand 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.
"Miss. Tate, I'm not sure if I should trust her, so I didn't tell her anything about Mr. Foster." "Leah said that?" Avery was surprised that Leah would offer to collect information from Natalie.
"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.
"Don't write her off just yet, George." Avery scowled. "Even if this was Natalie's plan, I want to see what she plans on doing as well." "So you're saying that I should act along?" "Yes. If she talks about it again, try to play along and see what kind of information she can 'gather' from Natalie," Avery said. "Alright..." "George, you seem a little nervous." Avery's tone took a more casual turn. "If Leah is really trying to help us, she's probably doing it for you." "Don't say that, Miss Tate." "She has been messagingabout Layla for the past two days and had plenty of chances to mention this to me, but she didn't. She went to you because she wanted your appreciation." "Even if she means well and wants to help us find Mr. Foster, she might not be capable of helping," George said calmly. "Miss Tate, we should place too much confidence in her. Besides, who knows if Natalie is involved in what happened to Mr. Foster? What Leah said tosounded like a trap." "If she is only setting up a trap for you to fall for her, then you can actually consider it. Don't let anything else affect you. Leah could be on Natalie's side, but maybe not. If you like her, you can get to know her better before making any decision," said Avery. "Miss Tate, are you that reckless when it comes to entering a relationship? I've only known her for a few days!" "I met your boss for the first tafter being married to him." George stared at her in shock.
