"Hmm... I know La is mature. She is no longer a child, which was why I was a little worried that she would have those sort of feelings for Eric," Avery said, voicing her concerns. This made Mrs. Cooper grow worried, too.


    "Truth be told, I''ve never thought about it that way. But your worries are not illogical. La has truly grown up. Children nowadays are exposed to the inte earlier. It makes sense that they would mature much earlier than people in the past. If you''re worried about it, you could talk to La," Mrs. Cooper said.


    "I don''t know how to bring it up. Eric is such a great person. Many girls like him, including me. I admire him a lot. I''m just afraid that La, at her age, doesn''t know how to differentiate the many types of ''like''..." "Why don''t you talk to Eric? I think Eric has set his boundaries. Even if La confesses to him, he will reject her." Mrs. Cooper felt relieved when she said that. "You are Eric''s savior. He won''t mess about with La."


    "I''m not worried about Eric doing anything to La. If I was, I would never have let him take La out to y in the past. I''m just afraid that La''s life will be affected by this." Avery shook her head. "I''m not going to think about this. It was Elliot who was suddenly sad today that the children are all grown up and leaving us, which is why I''ve suddenly thought about this."


    "Why would Master Elliot suddenly think that?" Mrs. Cooper was rather surprised.


    "He is getting more and more sentimentaltely. I''m guessing it''s because of his age. He always needs me tofort him." Avery smiled. "I find him quite adorable this way."


    "I''m very happy for you two, seeing how your rtionship with each other is getting better." Mrs. Cooper was sincerely happy for them.


    Avery pondered this for a few seconds before saying, "Before, even when I was with him, I would always have these nonsensical, pessimistic thoughts. But this time, there are none. I feel extremely secure." "That''s good. That means that both of your hearts have settled down!"

    chess that they unwittingly ignored her.


    So she went to La''s room instead to see how La was progressing on her homework.


    When La saw Averying in, she stretchedzily while holding her pencil.


    "Mommy, I have lots of homework! It feels like I won''t ever finish it."


    "Go have some food first, thene back and continue." Avery walked over to the desk to have a look at La''s homework for that night. She still had two more papers toplete.


    "Mommy, don''t have an appetite. La pouted. "Uncle Eric said that have to ace my final exams, orche won''t take me out to y during winter break."


    La brought up Eric, which made Avery''s mind return to its earlier thought. She said, "La, I know that you like Uncle Eric, but, if he gets a girlfriend, you can''t cling to him that much anymore."


    "Uncle Eric says that he''s not looking for a girlfriend."Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    "He hasn''t met anyone suitable yet. He might meet a suitable person one day." Avery studied La''s expression. A bad feeling rose in her heart.
