"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

The two grownups paused and turned to look at each other.

Neil was amused when he saw the surprised look on his girlfriend's face.

Though she had said that she was going to talk to Hazel and explained that they have been sharing a bedroom, Edith has been delaying on this matter for a long time.

It looked like they can no longer pretend and keep this matter a secret from that little girl.

Seeing that his girlfriend was unable to respond, Neil got off the bed and look for something to wear.

"Uncle! Are you there?" Hazel knocked on the door again, and this time, the sound was a little louder.

"Yes. Hold on. I'll be out shortly," Neil shouted back.

Edith watched as Neil slipped into a shirt and pants and immediately went to his side as he was a few inches away from the door. She grabbed at his wrist and stared back at him with horror. "What are you trying to do?"

"I'm just going to open the door."
