Chapter 2017


    She saw a message from her father saying that he was waiting for her in her apartment with her


    mother.


    Leah had thought that her father would ignore her since she had argued with her mother. Leah’s


    father had always been more attentive to her younger brother and had rarely made time to care for


    or educate her, so she did not know what to expect from him.


    Would he confront her and forcefully take her back to Bridgedale?


    Her head instantly started pounding at the thought, when suddenly, she heard La’s voice from


    outside the office.


    "Ms. Kennedy.” Leah turned and saw La. She immediately walked over and asked," La, why


    are you here? Are you struggling with your homework?"


    La shook her head. "Ms. Kennedy, it''s Teacher''s Day tomorrow and I made a gift for youst


    night." She handed a card to Lead as she spoke.


    Leah epted it and opened it to have a look. "This is the most beautiful card I''ve ever received. I


    will keep it up."


    "You are a new teacher so this must be your first-time receiving gifts from a student, right?" George


    teased.


    "Some of the parents wished me happy Teacher''s Day a week ago. Some of them even told their


    kids to s to me, but I turned them down. I prefer hand-made gifts like this one from La."


    "Take a closer look. La signed on the card. Do you know how much her autograph costs now? If


    you sell it, you will get a handsome amount of money."


    Leah looked at them nkly.


    "Ms. Kennedy, don''t sell it yet. I will be more famous from now on so this card will be worth


    even more when I be more popr."


    Leah felt awkward, amused, and moved at the same time.


    Once La and George were gone, she received a phone call from her father and grabbed her


    purse to head back to her apartment.


    Both of her parents and Natalie were already waiting in her apartment.


    Leah''s heart raced, thinking that an intervention was awaiting her.


    Just then, her father took the initiative and said, "Leah, your mother had been too harsh on you. I


    already spoke to her about it. Let''s go eat ?d&>VNS< talk about this."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Leah followed them to the restaurant they had made a reservation at, and once they took their seats


    in the private room, the waiter swiftly started serving their food.


    "Leah, stop fighting your parents. They really love you. Your father wouldn''t have set aside his work


    toe see if he doesn''t care about you," said Natalie to ease the tension. "If you don''t want to


    follow them home, that''s fine; quit your current job ande to work for me. I will take care of you


    and your parents won''t force you to go home or get married."


    "You had it all figured out with my parents, huh, Cousin?"


    "Yes." Natalie had thought that Leah would be thankful, but to her bewilderment, Leah''s expression


    instantly darkened at her response.
