Chapter 129 I Will Consider It Seriously

The little girl was lively, cheerful, and brilliant at socializing. She couldn’t stop calling Yuliana “AuntYuliana.”

Layla told Zofia that Aunt Yuliana was a teacher in an elementary school.

Zofia wanted to be a teacher when she grew up because her father was one, and he knew everythingand was intelligent.

Therefore, Zofia had a good impression of her Aunt Yuliana even before she met the latter in person.

After seeing her Aunt Yuliana in person, Zofia fell deeper in love with Yuliana because the latter wasgentle and beautiful.

Zofia loved gentle and beautiful teachers.

The little girl had a strong desire for knowledge and a lot of strange ideas in her mind. She kept askingYuliana questions when they were heading toward the restaurant. She would ask anything aboutastronomy, geography, history, literature, and modern science and technology. Yuliana found that thelittle girl knew a lot of things. Although she spoke childishly and some of her questions didn’t makesense, it was rare for a five-year-old girl to know so many things.

Layla knew her daughter well. She feared that Yuliana would be uncomfortable with her, so she tookZofia with her as she figured it would be easier for Yuliana to mingle with Zofia since Yuliana workedface-to-face with children almost every day.

However, when she saw Zofia asking Yuliana questions nonstop, Layla worried that Zofia might irritateYuliana. Hence, she couldn’t help but say, “Yuliana, you can ignore her. The more you answer her, themore she will ask.”

Yuliana smiled and said, “It’s okay. She’s quite cute.”

Upon hearing that, Zofia glanced at Layla proudly and said, “Mommy, Aunt Yuliana likes me. You’re theonly one who thinks I’m annoying.”

Yuliana was amused when she saw that the little girl had so many expressions.

Layla didn’t know how her daughter could be so confident when saying that. Layla said helplessly, “Yes,yes, yes. Everyone loves you! Are you happy now?”

Zofia was a little unhappy. “Hmph! You are so perfunctory! I’m not happy with you!”

Yuliana was stumped for words.

She stared at Zofia for two seconds. In fact, the little girl didn’t look much like Layla. Hence, Yulianafigured that she must look more like her father.

However, her eyes and behavior were the same as Layla’s.

The only difference was that Layla’s pupils were darker in color. When she stared at a person intensely,she looked like Kendrick, which was rather domineering.

Zofia’s pupils were light and crystal clear, like a beautiful amber.

Whenever Yuliana looked into Zofia’s eyes, she would think of Christopher.

Christopher’s eyes were also light-colored. When he wasn’t staring at something, he would look lazyand as if he cared about nothing.

If someone else had the same eyes, they would look dull and lifeless, but since Christopher hadstunning looks, such eyes made him look decadently handsome.

When Yuliana found herself a little distracted, she quickly pulled herself back to reality.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the little girl became very quiet. She didn’t make loud noises andsat quietly in the chair, unlike other children who would run around the restaurant.

When eating, she held the forks and spoons in a proper posture and fed herself in an unhurriedmanner. She didn’t need any adult to watch over her.

Layla chatted with Yuliana while eating.

She asked about Yuliana’s physical condition, talked about being pregnant, and asked about Yuliana’swork Layla had a good sense of boundaries. Hence, she didn’t ask anything that made Yuliana feeluncomfortable.

When they were chatting away, Layla suddenly made a suggestion. “Yuliana, Christopher will not be inJuxshire for some time, and there will be a lot of inconveniences to staying alone when you’repregnant. Why don’t you hire someone to help you?”

Kendrick had the intention to hire someone to help her as well.

After all, Christopher couldn’t resolve the matter in Romdale in a short period. As Yuliana’s tummy grewlarger, she would need someone to look over her, or else no one would know if something hadhappened to her.

However, Layla couldn’t decide for Yuliana as Yuliana didn’t have a close relationship with the Solacefamily. Layla worried that Yuliana might feel offended if she didn’t ask for the latter’s opinion anddecided for her. Layla figured it would be best to ask for Yuliana’s opinion.

Yuliana didn’t object to such a suggestion. “I will hire someone in the near future.”

Recently, Yuliana was looking for a new house. She figured she should only hire someone to help herafter she had moved as her current place was too small.

It wouldn’t have much issue if she stayed alone, but it would be too small for two people.

Layla smiled and said, “Okay. If you need help, remember to talk to me. We are a family. You don’thave to worry about bothering me.”

Yuliana nodded. “Okay.”

After dinner, Layla sent Yuliana to the entrance of her residential area. Instead of driving into theresidential area, she parked nearby, took Zofia out of the car, and accompanied Yuliana to the latter’sapartment building.

“Layla, do you want to have a seat at my house?” Yuliana invited.

Even though she had invited Layla and Zofia, she feared they might feel as though she wasn’t a goodhost if they indeed visited her house as the place she had rented was very much smaller than theSolace residence. Besides, she had nothing to entertain them with.

Layla replied, “Let’s take a rain check. I need to take my daughter to her grandma’s house. I’ll comeand visit you next time!”

Yuliana nodded and sighed with relief.

Layla was good at observing people, and she noticed Yuliana’s unease.

After saying goodbye, Yuliana was just about to turn around and enter her apartment building whenLayla suddenly called out to her again.

Yuliana stopped and turned to look at Layla.

After pausing for a moment, Layla asked, “Did you quarrel with Christopher?”

Yuliana pursed her lips and said nothing.

Layla continued, “Christopher called me this afternoon. Although he didn’t say anything, he hoped Icould come to check on you. He’s worried about you but was too arrogant to ask you about yourcondition himself. Hence, he could only ask for my help.”

Yuliana was surprised by that.

Layla looked at Yuliana and said, “It may not be appropriate for me to say this because I’mChristopher’s sister, and it will be rather hard for me to be fair because I emotionally side with mybrother. However, if you think my advice makes sense, you can accept it. If it doesn’t make sense,ignore it.”

Yuliana said, “Tell me.”

Layla said, “You and Christopher got married in a hurry because of your pregnancy, and such amarriage is like a premature child with a congenital deficiency. However, it doesn’t mean that prematurebabies can’t grow healthily. In order to do that, the parents need to take sound and attentive care ofthem. It is the same. for your marriage with Christopher. You two need to be more patient with eachother to make it work. Yuliana, I know my brother has a lot of bad habits, but please trust me when Isay he is a good guy.”

Layla didn’t plan to say any of that, but after some consideration, she said it.

Yuliana was not an ungrateful person. She knew that Layla was trying to help her.

“Thank you for telling me that. I’ll think about it carefully.”

Layla smiled after hearing that. “You should go inside now.”

Yuliana nodded.

“Goodbye, Aunt Yuliana!” Zofia waved at her.

Yuliana also waved back to her. “Goodbye.”

Yuliana then turned around and entered her apartment building.

Layla watched Yuliana disappear into the apartment building before she left with Zofia.

Zofia pulled on Layla’s hand and asked, “Mom, are we going to Grandma’s place tonight?”

Layla thought for a moment and said, “It’s a little late today. I’ll ask your father to take you there nexttime.”

Every family had their own problems. Even though Layla was good at giving others advice, her familywas a

mess.

After getting into the car, Layla called Christopher.

“I have just sent Yuliana home.”

The man on the other end of the phone hummed and said nothing, but he didn’t hang up the phoneeither.

Layla remained silent for two seconds and said, “Christopher, if you’re going to act in such a manner, Iwouldn’t bother to talk to you if I were Yuliana!”

After a while, Christopher finally opened his mouth. He asked, “How is she?”

Layla was about to say something, but she suddenly stopped. “Isn’t tomorrow the weekend? Why don’tyou come back to check on her yourself?”

Christopher didn’t say anything.

“What’s wrong? Can’t you afford the plane ticket? Shall | reimburse you instead?”
