Chapter 1967


    Her grades had only gone down because she had purposely been flunking her papers. So long as


    she put her mind to it, she would be able to improve her grades.


    "She said her family is rich and that she gets a six-digit allowance every month. She said she is


    working as a teacher because it''s her passion, and she''s only offered to tutor you because she gets


    bored after work... La, do you believe this?" the bodyguard said.


    La was taken by surprise for a moment and said, "Ms. Kennedy does look rich."


    "Why didn''t I notice that?" The bodyguard’s eyes widened in disbelief as he scanned Leah up and


    down.


    "I can sense it. Ms. Kennedy is quite elegant, unlike Natalie." La did not bother filtering her


    words. "Ms. Kennedy, you know that I hate your cousin, right?"


    Slightly embarrassed, Leah muttered," Yeah. I heard that from my cousin."


    "So why are you still willing to tutor me?" La had not expected Leah to respond honestly.


    "I don’t spend as much time as I do with my cousin as I do with you." Leah brought them into her


    apartment. "I think it''s fate that I became your teacher, so I won''t let your conflict with my cousin


    affect the way I see you."


    "And how do you see me?"


    "You are smart and quick; pretty and rather polite. It''s hard to not love a girl like you."


    La grew shy at thepliment and said, "Ms. Kennedy, what do you think of my bodyguard,


    then?"


    Leah cleared her throat. "He’s a bit rude; I understand that, but he''s required to act rough to keep


    the bad people away. He seems dutiful so he must be a good bodyguard."


    La risked a nce at the bodyguard and noticed him blushing.


    An hourter, the bodyguard sent La home.


    "Uncle George, are you still single?" La asked nosily. "What do you think of Ms. Kennedy?"


    "La, she''s Natalie Jennings'' cousin. I hate her just as much as I hate Natalie."


    "But I think Ms. Kennedy is a good person.”


    "You are still young, La. You don''t know howplicated human minds can be." "Sure, you know


    all about that, and that’s why you don''t have a girlfriend," La said while ncing at the snacks in


    her h=b,: YNU


    "Why didn''t you just say no if you don''t like them?"

    "Ms. Kennedy means well so I couldn’t possibly refuse."


    "Fine, I''ll eat them! What if these are poisoned?" the bodyguard said.


    Back home, Avery took La''s backpack from her and checked on the content that she reviewed


    with Leah earlier that day.


    "La, I thought that Ms. Kennedy teachesnguages? Why is she helping you with math as well?"


    Avery walked into the dining room with the assignment.


    "I''m in elementary school, Mommy. It''s not that difficult for adults like you guys to help me with Math,


    right?"


    "Oh. That''s true." Avery flipped through her assignments. "Ms. Kennedy has been quite attentive


    with the remarks she left for you."


    "I think Ms. Kennedy likes Uncle George." Avery stared enquiringly at her daughter.


    "I saw her peeping at him. Mommy, that''s what people do when they like someone, right?"


    "Does George know about it?"


    "He says he doesn''t like Ms. Kennedy because she is Natalie''s cousin," La said, "but I think Ms.


    Kennedy is different from Natalie. Anyone can tell that Natalie is good at scheming, but Ms.


    Kennedy seems pretty naive..." Just then, Avery''s phone rang. She strode back to the living room


    and noticed that the call was from Wanda.
