Chapter 32 Louis stopped in his tracks and looked at her in surprise . Laura held the bear Jasper prepared for her and said softly , " Mom said her fourth brother was a very grumpy person , but she also said he is a nice person . " Louis tilted his head . He could not tell whether she was speaking the truth . " Did your mom talk about us nicely ? " Lilian should have hated them . Laura nodded . " Mom will tell me about you guys when she is drunk . She said all of you are very smart , and she's the only stupid one . She also said you often make fun of her dumbness , but you helped her sometimes , so I know about you . " Louis scorned angrily . " When have I ever made fun of her for that ? I've never- " He suddenly remembered an interaction he had with Lilian before . Lilian showed up before him and bragged , " Look , Louis ! I passed my SAT . It's so hard ." Louis snorted , " Is SAT that hard ? Did you know Winnie scored 9 for her IELTS at your age ? " Lilian was stunned , and her face darkened . " What do you mean ? I worked so hard to get this . I'm different from you ! Why would you say that ? " He laughed loudly . " Sure , you worked hard to achieve this . It can't be blamed that you're the dumbest one in our family . You're different from us . I can't understand working hard to get good results like you ." At that time , Lilian's face turned as red as a tomato , but she did not get angry at him . She only turned around and left despondently . Louis did not expect her to hold a grudge over a joke till now . Louis said awkwardly , " Your mom is so petty . " Laura raised her eyebrows and defended , " No. I don't know what happened between you , but Mom always cries after she drinks . She said that all of you will never be satisfied with her . " She still remembered how happy she was when Lilian came to take her away . On the first night , Lilian got incredibly drunk and began to beat her . After she got tired from that , Lilian held Laura in her arms and cried . " Why ? Why don't they like me no matter what I become ? Is it because l was born a mistake ? Laura , tell me what's right . Why should people like us live ? " Laura still remembered this now . The most frequent thing Lilian told her was that she was born a mistake . After that , she added that Laura was also a mistake . It was a mistake of being born . Laura slowly sat up and said , " I know Mom made a big mistake . She is a murderer with many sins , but Mom just wants praise from all of you . She did something wrong , and I don't ask you to forgive her , but I hope you don't think she's evil . Is that okay ? " She had always thought Lilian was pitiful . 1/2 Chapter 32 Aug She also sympathized with Lilian . Louis felt glum in his heart . Hearing her words , he felt uncomfortable . Lilian was dead . Forgiveness did not matter much anymore . He turned around to leave , waving his hand irritably . " I got it . Go to sleep . I won't leave . I will live here until we find a housekeeper . Don't call me Mr. Yale anymore . I am your fourth uncle , so just call me Uncle Louis . " Laura was stunned , and her eyes lit up . She nodded vigorously and said , " Okay , Uncle Louis . " Louis glanced at her awkwardly and snorted . " Don't get too smug . You have an interview tomorrow morning . You better work hard and pay your rent . My relationship with your mom isn't that great , so I don't need to raise you ." She nodded . " I will ! "
