Layla was taken aback, “The countryside is so far, how can I go?”
I imitated her and was taken aback, “Layla, haven’t you figured out how to go yet? Mon saw you packing and thought you had everything planned…” Layla looked embarrassed and said, “Then let Ezra, the driver, drive the biggest car at home and give me a ride.”
I shook my head and said, “Ezra had something going on at home, so he had just taken a leave.”
Actually, Ezra didn’t take a leave. However, as soon as I came back to life, I gave gifts to all the staff at home, except for Lila, and then took a break, reminding them to stock up on food.
Listening to me, Layla angrily took out her phone and said, “Why is Ezra so lazy? He doesn’t want to work as soon as the weather gets cold? How can that be? I have to call him back, I need the car today!”
I held her hand as she made a phone call: “No, Layla, Ezra has an urgent matter at home and can’t come back.”
Layla became anxious, tears welled up in her eyes.
“What should we do? My parents are still waiting for me in the countryside! How am I supposed to go without a car?! Mom, please think of a solution quickly!”
Chapter 2
I sighed, “Layla, you were already eighteen… You could have done the things you wanted to do on your own, instead of relying on Mom and Dad to arrange them for you.”
Layla was stunned. Clearly, for the past eighteen years, I had always considered her in everything I did, and she had also become accustomed to never making things difficult for herself when faced with difficulties, but instead choosing to come to me.
Seeing that I really had no intention of helping her, Layla rushed to me and coquettishly said, “Mom, can’t you let Dad take me there? It’s only a five–hour journey, and Dad can make a round trip today and be back by 3 a.m.!”
