Chapter 976 - 014 Bernard Taylor’s Story_6
Is she trying to set her son up with me?
"Avery, did I scare you? If so, I won’t push you. Take your time to think. If you want to spend some time mending things, then do that. When you’re ready to consider dating again, Auntie asks that you please think of our Bernard Taylor first, alright?" Nancy Sallow saw that Avery Graham remained silent and was startled. If Bernard found out about this, who knows what kind of strain it might cause between mother and son?
Why couldn’t she restrain herself? Nancy Sallow thought with some annoyance.
"No, Auntie, I, I..." Avery didn’t know how to express her feelings at that moment, "Currently, Bernard and I are just friends. I really haven’t thought about changing our relationship right now. I’m sorry, Auntie."
"Mhm, I understand. Then, Auntie has another favor to ask. Could you pretend I never came here? Bernard always told me not to come find you. It was just that I couldn’t stay away, so, so..." Nancy Sallow didn’t want the recently mended mother-son relationship to worsen again.
"Yes, I won’t tell him." Avery nodded.
Nancy Sallow smiled, looked at her watch— it was almost four o’clock. Avery would be busy soon, so she got up to leave. Avery went to see her out, and just before Nancy Sallow got into the car, she said to Avery, "Avery, come over when you have time. Oh, and Auntie would like to sign up for a membership card here. I’ll top up ten thousand yuan first. I’ll give you the money, and you can get the card ready for me. I’ll come and get it some other day. Also, in a few days, it will be your Uncle Bernard’s birthday. Can you make a six-layer cake for us, and you’ll join us too, okay?"
As she spoke, Nancy Sallow pulled out a stack of cash from her bag and handed it to Avery.
"...Thank you for your support, Auntie. Actually, Bernard’s card here still has plenty of money. I can just deduct the amount from his card when the time comes." Avery shook her head; mother and son getting separate cards from her place wasn’t common.
"That’s his, and this is mine. He’s grown up now; we mother and son should have our own things. Come on, take it. I’ll bring my sisters over some time." Nancy Sallow insisted, stuffing the money into Avery’s hands and making sure she accepted it.
Avery couldn’t refuse and reluctantly took it.
