"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

Mike left the house later in the evening after James Li came over to pick him up and headed together to find their friends. When she told Neil about her grandfather's suggestion, his face glow with excitement. Both Sophie and Lucas were more than happy and they welcomed Edith to stay at their place for a few days.

As the plan to stay over at the Mo's villas was unplanned, Edith had to head back to her grandfather's place and grab a few clothes and necessities.

Neil glanced at the clothing packed in her small bag and raised a brow. "Is that enough?"

"I'm staying for one night. Why wouldn't it be enough?"

Neil did not say anything and continued to stare at Edith as she continued to pack her things. His parents had already agreed to let her stay at their place for a few days, but this girl was only intending to stay with them for one night.
