Hazel didn’t expect things to be so complicated, and felt a little tricky all of a sudden.
“Then why does my sister like you so much?” Hazel was puzzled.
If Eric had a bad relationship with Elliot, shouldn’t Layla stand by Elliot?
“I just said that they always quarreled at that time. Hayden and Layla were relatively young at that time. When they
were on winter and summer vacation, Hayden would follow your uncle, Mike, and Layla would follow me.” Eric
recalled and the corners of his mouth twitched at these past events, “Later, after your father and your mother
completely reconciled, the relationship between me and your father was not so rigid.”
Hazel nodded: “So, you and my sister spent a lot of time together. Long, so my sister should have liked you since
she was a child. What about you? Do you like my sister?”
“Of course I like your sister. But what I mean by liking is not the kind of love between a man and a woman. A
beautiful girl like your sister, is destined to be liked by people. No matter if they are younger than her, or the same
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtage as her, or elders, as long as they see her, they will basically like her very much.”
Hazel agreed with this point.
Hazel: “My sister is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality. If I were a man, I would like her too.”
“Yes.” Eric took the tweezers and concentrated on grilling the meat.
Hazel suddenly thought of another question: “Mr. Eric, my sister confessed to you, do my parents know about it?”
“I know.” Eric put the grilled meat into Hazel’s bowl, “Because of this incident, my relationship with your parents is
very awkward now.”
Hazel: “Oh… no wonder I came back and my mother didn’t tell me about this.”
Eric: “I can understand their feelings.”
“I don’t think my mother will treat you with that kind of prejudice, right? My mother gives me the feeling that as
long as it is reasonable, there is nothing she cannot accept. She has a particularly strong tolerance and it’s also
very high…” Hazel speculated.
“You are right, your mother is indeed a very tolerant person. But this matter cannot be considered from this aspect
alone. Your father and your mother have a very good relationship, and they are very loving. Your mother can’t just
consider her own feelings, regardless of your father’s feelings.”
When Eric said this, Hazel completely understood that the biggest obstacle between layla and Eric was his father.
After dinner, Eric sent Hazel home.
The car stopped at the entrance of Foster’s courtyard.
Hazel got out of the car.
Layla heard the movement and strode out of the living room.
“Sister!” Hazel shouted immediately when she saw Layla.
Layla responded and strode over.
Eric was sitting in the car, whether he was going or not.
“Sister, I packed a barbecue for you.” Hazel showed the bag in her hand to Layla, “It’s all baked by Mr. Eric.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLayla took the bag over and said, “You go back to the house first! I’ll be back after talking a little bit with him.”
Hazel nodded sensiblely, and quickly ran towards the door of the villa with her schoolbag on her back.
When Hazel went to the door to change her shoes, Avery and Elliot walked over.
They had already seen Layla talking to Eric at the gate of the courtyard.
Hazel was afraid that her parents would go out and make trouble with Eric, so she took the initiative to say: “Mom,
what a coincidence today! Our music teacher is on sick leave.”
Avery said with a smile on her face, “It’s a coincidence. Are you full?”
“I’m full. I ate a lot of meat.” Hazel put down her schoolbag and touched her belly.
Seeing Hazel taking the initiative to speak, Elliot accosted, “What did he talk to you about?”
Hazel used her brains, and replied, “Talked a lot, about his work, and the past… He said that he had a serious
accident before and was about to die, but my mother saved his life. He said he was very grateful to my mother.”
Hazel’s words reminded Avery of many past events.
“I’ll ask him to come in and sit down!” Avery seemed to be discussing with Elliot, but actually walked out after
speaking.
After Avery saved Eric, Eric never forgot this life-saving grace.
