"I'm not scared. I'm just worried that you will be."
"Why should | be scared? Did something inappropriate happen between us?" She batted her eyes. "Or are you planning on doing
something that would scare me?"
Elliot instantly flushed a crimson red.
"You keep bringing my boyfriend up. Are you worried that | will forget about him?" She finished her food and set her fork down,
before reaching for a tissue to wipe her mouth. "Your age doesn’t make you any wiser."
"You callchildish, but what about you, Avery?" "No matter how childish I am, | am still more mature than you. I've never tried to
sneak around, trying to get information about your private life."
"This has nothing to do with whether you are childish. It just means that you didn't lovethat much," he corrected her.

She grabbed a bottle of water and took a sip. "How old are you, really? Don't you feel embarrassed to talk about love?"
"People of all ages have the right to look for love."
Chills ran down her spine and all the retorts she had rolling on the tip of her tongue remained unspoken.
Indeed, people of all ages had the right to seek love.
The next morning at half past eight, Layla was still asleep.
She usually would not oversleep and was struggling to wake up today because she burnt the midnight oil working on her
assignments, which was why she did not notice her phone ringing.
Robert had overheard the phone ringing and hurried into her room. He stood by the bed and saw that Layla was deeply asleep, so
he reached over the nightstand to grab her phone and answered the call.
"Hello~" he drawled, mimicking the adults he heard.
The person who called was taken by surprise. "Are you Layla?"
Robert pouted at the soothing voice of the woman and said, "I'm not Layla. Layla is sleeping!" "Oh... Are you her little brother?"
"Yeah! Who are you?" Robert asked sweetly.
"Hello. | am Layla's class teacher this year. I've called your dad earlier but he didn’t pick up, so | got your sister's number from
another student >e'=QMV: tried calling her instead," the teacher explained. "I am supposed to be paying your family a visit today."
Robert did not understand a word that she said. He hesitated for a moment, before saying dazedly, "Oh... um... Letwake Layla,
then. You can talk to her, right?"
The teacher was amused. "If your sister is asleep, then let her sleep! Little boy, is there another adult at hright now?"
"Yeah! Everyone else is an adult but me!"

"Can you hand the phone to an adult, then? | will talk to them instead. | got lost, and | don't know how to get to your house," the
teacher admitted sheepishly.
The teacher had been circling around the luxurious residential district. Every house was a bungalow on its own with a fair distance
between them. There were plants as far as the eye could see. Though breathtaking, she was confused and could not quite tell
where she was going.
When Robert heard that the teacher had gotten lost, he immediately said heroically, "Alright, letgo and pick you up!"
"Sure! Thank you! But make sure you cwith an adult, too."
"Alright!"
Shortly after, Robert rode on his skateboard and went to see Layla’s new class teacher alongside the bodyguard.
In approximately ten minutes time, they found the teacher at a pavilion.
The teacher smiled gently at the sight of Robert approaching with his skateboard." Thank you for coming to pickup, little boy!"
Robert smiled shyly. "Cwith me, Miss, | will take you to our house."
