"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

Neil slid into his suit and turned around to looked at the woman who was lying lazily on the bed. His eyes narrowed and his throat rolled when he saw the way her legs crossed. At this time, his girlfriend was wearing a large T-shirt and her long, white legs were exposed as if tempting him to caress them.

Sensing that he was looking at her, Edith flashed him a seductive smile before she stood up and walked over. Once she stopped in front of him, Edith looked at the shirt Neil was wearing and recognized it as the one she hd bought for him previously. Edith tiptoed to adjust Neil's collar and patted at his shoulder when she was done.

She gave him a look over and smiled. "Very handsome."

Neil wrapped his arms around her waist and lowered his head. His eyes darkened as their nose touched. "Are you sure you didn't want to come with me?"
