"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 sat behind his desk. There were a few documents spread on his desk and his phone was set on the table facing him. Neil glanced at the screen and saw that his girlfriend was eating her lunch.

Having a video call with Edith during her lunch had become a habit for both of them.

His gaze stayed at his Edith for a few seconds longer to watch as her lips were pouting slightly to blew on the hot chicken piece. His eyes turned dark as he was imagining the feeling to kiss those lips at the moment.

He watched as she opened her mouth to eat and exhaled loudly.

"What's wrong?" Edith turned to look at the screen when she heard his long breath. Her gaze fell at the documents on his desk. "Trouble?"

Edith paused as she chewed the food in her mouth. She swallowed them and let out a chuckle. "Then… Should I come over and visit you after work?"
