In fact , he's been speaking some of the words from the app . " " That's great ! " Soraya fetched a check from her pocket and said , " Here's your salary for the week . Hope your brother learns more . I wrote a little extra for him . " Emil sniffed , wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes . " Thank you so very much , Miss Soraya , You are an amazing teacher too . I've not only learned from you , but you're so generous . " Then Emil raised his hand like a soldier under oath .

" That would be great , but Emil , I'm not one to hold someone back from becoming greater. I'm just happy that , for now , I have you to help me . " " Angel is very lucky to have you as her mom , " Emil said , and when Soraya stilled , he clarified . " That's the name of your daughter , right ? Angel ? " Soraya blinked .

She hesitated but soon said , " Not really . I'm just using an alternative name for the app . " It wasn't entirely a lie . But what Emil couldn't know for now was that Soraya had someone else in mind when she created the learning app , someone slowly filling the void in her heart . 1/4 13:14 Tue , 19 Aug Chapter 71 " I should get going , and you should too , " Soraya said , putting her phone away and closing her bag Since it was a Friday , she needed to head to Belridge .
