"Grandma, I don't want to live away from my daddy and mommy... I know that I won't get to see them again... What if I miss them?" her words were a bit incoherent as she forced back her sobs.

Seeing the little girl, he felt something tugged on his heart.

"Hazel," Neil spoke after a while. "If you don't want to live in the countryside with grandma, then would you like to live with me?"

A Lifetime With You

"Where is Teacher Qian?" Sophie asked when her son walked down the stairs alone.

She had already prepared a pot of tea and some snacks and was planning to detain the kindergarten teacher in the house a while longer until lunch hour. It was rare for her son to bring home a girl and Sophie was determined not to let Edith go back home so soon.

"Hazel won't let her go," Neil said. "Teacher Qian said she will stay over and come down when Hazel has let her go."

A slight smile curled on Sophie's lips before she quickly looked away. "That little girl, just what was she thinking?" Sophie heaved a sigh, pretending that she was complaining about the little girl's act. "Then, just let Teacher Qian stay a while longer. Alright, I am going to the kitchen to prepare for lunch. Tell me when Teacher Qian is ready to leave."
