"We are best friends. I just want to treat Briela like my own child."
I had not made a statement yet, but Bryan immediately spoke up to help her.
"Flora, Lauryn's child died early, which is quite pitiful. Why not let her experience what it's like to attend a parent-teacher's meeting?"
Looking at the expectant eyes of the three of them, I smiled slightly. "Sure, I'm not free today."
Seeing my agreement, my best friend smiled with satisfaction.
Briela also clapped and cheered happily.
After having breakfast, Lauryn could not wait to take her daughter to school.
And Bryan left together under the pretext of seeing them off.
I silently watched the three of them leave happily without saying a word.
It seemed like they thought I was particularly easy to deceive and never notice anything unusual.
Lauryn was getting bolder and bolder.
She used to secretly meet Bryan while I was at the company.
Now even when I was at home, she would find all sorts of excuses to come to the door.
"Flora, I've recently self-taught cooking, so I'm here to show you my skills."
"Flora, I just came back from the countryside and brought a lot of local specialties to give to you."
