"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

Edith followed the shop attendant around and her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing their price.

Neil let out a helpless laugh when his wife returned with only two pieces of the garment after following the shop attendant around for half an hour. No matter how the shop attendant had convinced her that she would look good in a garment, Edith would always find a way to reject them.

It seemed that his wife was not someone who can be easily swayed with pretty words.

In the end, Edith sat at the lounge as she watched her husband pointed around the store and chose some outfit. Then, she was dragged out from the store before they went to the next one.

The way he was choosing those clothes was almost the same as the way he was choosing clothes for Hazel. As long as he thinks that the outfit would look good on her, he would not hesitate to bring the clothes to the counter and asked the shop attendant to wrap them up.
