Rose would ask this question every year.
Every year, the answer she got was a negative one.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I wonder how she is doing." Rose sighed worriedly. "I thought that she would call me, but she never calledat all." "So many years have passed. She has a new life now," said the nun, comforting her. "If you are destined to meet, you will meet again one day." "Hmm." Layla bought a couple of lucky charms from the church. She gave one each to her parents. She kept one for herself, and the remaining two she bought for Hayden and Robert.
"Mom, what did you wish for this year? I wished for health and peace in our family," Layla said.
Avery said, "My wish every year is the same." Layla said, "I know what you wished for. To find Ivy, isn't it?" Avery shook her head. "My wish is that our family will be happy and safe. Your father's wish is to find Ivy. We wish for different things." Layla was speechless.
Avery said, "We're afraid that if we're too greedy, God won't approve of it." Layla could not help but smile. "Mom, don't be too sad. Perhaps, one day you'll find her." Avery said, "I have been disappointed too many times. I'm already numb to it, but I still have shope.' Layla said, "Hmm! The air up here is great. I feel that people who hike up the hill will be cleansed. All the annoying things on my mind have becless annoying already." "You can go out often in the future." "Hmm, Mom, I'm a little scared." Layla looked at the scenery in the distance and voiced her concerns,now. I "Hayden is helpingfind someone, and I agreed to it. It's hard forto go back on my think if I find someone, the media will be all over me. I don't want to have such a high-profile match." Avery silently listened to her daughter confiding in her.
"But, I also think Hayden is right. I should get to know more boys. That way, I have a wider range of choices," Layla continued, "so, I think I should continue with the matchmaking." "Layla, don't worry too much about how others think. It does not matter what they think of you, so long as you are comfortable and happy." Avery placed her arm on her daughter's shoulder.
Layla was slightly taller than Avery. Whenever they stood together, people often mistook them for sisters. "Mom, did Eric visit you this New Year's?" Layla suddenly asked after being silent for a few seconds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He did senda message, but he didn't say that he would be coming to visit." Avery could not help but say, "I'm guessing that he is a little too afraid of coming. He had toldthat we will have a meal once he retires, but he does not bring that up anymore." "Hmph! I'm guessing he is going to visit his girlfriend! Isn't his girlfriend from Bridgedale?" Layla said coldly.
"Layla, don't think about him anymore. Let's go have a look at the children in the courtyard!" "Hmm." At the Santos', relatives and friends had cto visit him. Eric was in the room playing with a group of children.
Eric, no matter how old he was, always attracted children. Children from as young as one to two years old up to 18 to 19 years old liked to be around him.
Thus, every year during New Year's, as long as he was around, he had always been tasked to look after the children.
Eric liked to spend twith the children too because if he was not with the children, he would be urged and bothered by his relatives to get married.
Before New Year's, he had announced that he had entered into a relationship, so his relatives no longer pestered him. Now, they asked when he was going to introduce his girlfriend to them.
