StarNovelChapter 548
“Lyla, remember I say next, okay?”
Lyla nodded blankly.
She did not know what would happen, but she thought her mother was more serious than ever.
“Take your meals on time, don’t be picky with food, sleep and rise early, and rest well.
“If you have anything on your mind, tell your uncle. Don’t keep it to yourself, got it?”
Lyla nodded. “Got it.”
Olivia bit her lip. “Good girl. Study hard when you grow up so you can choose the life you like.”
With that said, she forced a smile. “Lyla, do whatever your uncle says. But speak up if he did
something wrong.”
Lyla tilted her head, thinking what her mother said today was so deep that she understood with a hazy
notion.
However, what was life?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLyla pressed her lips together and gazed at her with her sparkling eyes.
“I know it’s too early to tell you this, but take my word for it, Lyla. You’ll get it when you do.”
Lyla nodded again. “I’ll keep that in mind, Mommy.”
With that said, her eyes reddened slightly. “But Mommy, are you not going to be around? Are you lying
to me?”
Olivia bit her lip and fought back tears as she gently touched Lyla’s chubby face and continued saying
without answering the question.
“Lyla, don’t cry in front of outsiders in the future. The more you cry, the more they will bully you. Be like
a little leopard and the proudest princess. Don’t bow to anyone, and don’t pity others. Don’t pick
anyone up from the roadside…”
Lyla got increasingly confused, but she tried to remember everything her mother said.
She even held back her tears.
“Lyla.” Olivia let out a long sigh and said, “You must remember the last thing too.”
“Mommy…”
“Don’t like a person because of gratitude or their appearance. Don’t believe whatever you see. You
should be able to accept and let go of feelings. Be a playgirl instead of someone with hopeless
infatuation.”
“Got it.”
Although Lyla said so, Olivia knew she did not get it.
However, she could prevent Lyla from going down that road again as long as Lyla could keep it in
mind.
If she had not fallen in love with that man at the first sight and picked up that woman on the roadside
out of kindness…
Oh, but there were no what-ifs?
Sensing something, Lyla hugged Olivia for dear life and began crying. “Mommy, can you sleep with me
tonight?”
“Yeah, sure. I’ll sleep with you tonight.”-
Lyla cheered happily and held her tighter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia cherished every second she spent with Lyla and did not leave the room until she had put her to
bed.
Fred was waiting for her in the living room.
Fred looked up at her when she got out. “Must you do this?”
She said with a bitter smile, “Yeah. I don’t want to, but I’m pushed to the edge now. I can’t get you
involved, can I?”
After a while, Fred put out his cigarette and hoarsely said, “Got it. I’ll do whatever you say.”
With that said, he got up and headed inside before suddenly stopping and looking over. “Liv, rest
earlier. Let’s eat together tomorrow morning.”
Olivia was scared to look at him, so she turned her head to look out the window. “Yes, okay.”
She hardly slept that night for fear that she would never see Lyla again after tonight.
Tears began to flow again at the thought of it.
The next morning, she heard noises from the kitchen and went out while Lyla was still asleep.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning. Liv, go wash up. Breakfast will be ready in a minute.”
Olivia glanced at the kitchen and nodded. “Okay.”
Fred’s expression instantly changed when she left. Then he stared darkly at the glass of orange juice
before him.
