Female Novel
Chapter 1079
Neera felt repulsed as soon as he heard the name Thora. “What's up with her now? What's she going to kick up afuss about this time?”
Osbert was quite speechless. “After her plot against you was exposed last time, she had a big fallout with theteachers. I really can't stand her. She did such a terrible thing, yet she can still brazenly refuse to admit hermistake. What kind of thinking is that? She has absolutely no sense of right and wrong! Mr. Hanson and Mrs.Hanson are such good people. How could they have a daughter who can't tell right from wrong?”
Neera frowned, feeling that Thora was truly beyond help.
She couldn't be bothered to care about anything else. The only thing that mattered to her was the condition of herteacher and his wife. “How are they doing now? Do they have any plans?”
“I'm not sure if they have any plans, but if Thora is determined to cause a scene, they probably can't do muchabout it.”
Osbert sighed deeply, expressing his concern. “Mr. Hanson hasn't been to the research center for the past coupleof days. He seems to be in a terrible mood. I guess his wife must be feeling quite upset as well.”
Anyone would be upset if they encountered such a frustrating situation.
Neera's brow furrowed before she finally spoke. “Let's go visit them later.”
Osbert naturally had no objections. “Sure, I was planning on doing this, anyway.”
After finishing their tasks, the two of them bought some gifts on the way to Obadiah's house.
As expected, Thora was nowhere to be found there. Only Obadiah and Marie were present.
Seeing Neera and Osbert, the married couple perked up and greeted their guests, even inviting them to stay for ameal. The couple instructed the housekeepers to prepare a few more dishes.
After taking a seat, Obadiah got straight to the point. “Neera, you're here because of Thora's matter, aren't you?”
Neera hesitated for a moment, then nodded truthfully. “Yes, Osbert told me that Thora is planning to strike out onher own.”
After some thought, she decided it would be best to apologize. “I'm sorry, Mr. Hanson, Mrs. Hanson. I've causedyou quite a bit of trouble recently and made you upset.”
Marie was taken aback. “Why on earth are you apologizing to us, you silly girl?”
“I feel somewhat guilty toward both of you. After all, Thora's situation is, in part, due to my actions.” Neeradidn't feel that she had done anything wrong, nor did she think that Thora's issue had anything to do with her.
She just felt guilty for her teacher.
Fortunately, Obadiah and Marie were both reasonable people, and they tried to comfort her instead. “Please, don'tblame everything on yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's Thora's own issue. That girl can'tdistinguish right from wrong. She's been spoiled and acts recklessly without any boundaries. Even if there's blameto be placed, it should be on us for not educating her properly. How could it possibly fall on you? You mustn'tthink like that. Besides, this situation may not necessarily be a bad thing. Thora, that girl, has been living toocomfortably before, always having this safe harbor at home, which is why she became so spoiled. It's good thatshe's gone out now. Perhaps experiencing some hardships will help her grow. If she finds it too tough, she'll come
back on her own.”
Neera thought the same way.
For people who never encountered hardships, any deviation from their expectations could throw them off course.
If one ventured out, one might encounter numerous challenges, but those could lead to many enlighteningexperiences.
At that moment, Neera nodded, not bringing up the matter again.
In the evening, she and Osbert joined Obadiah and Marie for dinner.
During the meal, Obadiah surprisingly started showing concern for Neera's matters. “How have you been sinceyou went back? Have there been a lot of things happening back home? I hope there hasn't been any trouble.”
Neera was more than happy to chat with them. She had nothing to hide and casually mentioned that she hadrecognized her maternal family.
Obadiah and Marie, upon hearing the news, were both very happy for her. “I always knew you were a lucky girl.Now you've recognized so many relatives, gaining more support and connections. Your life is bound to get betterand better.”
Neera smiled faintly, “With them around, I feel much happier...”
After dinner, Osbert and Neera went home.
As soon as Neera returned home, Adriana stood up to greet her. “I was just about to call you. Why are you onlygetting back now?”
“Sorry, Aunt Adriana. I forgot to tell you that I went to Mr. Hanson's house.” Neera took her aunt by the arm androughly explained Thora's situation. novelbin
Adriana sighed. “Your teacher and his wife must be having a hard time having such a troublesome daughter. Theymust be so worried...”
Neera nodded in agreement, chatted with her aunt for a while, then went upstairs to check on the triplets.
When she entered the room, she saw the triplets were huddled together, staring at the computer.
Upon seeing their mom enter, the triplets were startled and hurriedly closed their laptop.
Although Neera only caught a glimpse, she clearly saw the WhatsApp page on the screen.
The person they were chatting with was Jean.
