"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

Just like everyone else, Lily was surprised when she heard that Edith was pregnant.

Once she was able to process the news, Lily gave Edith a look over before she muttered a cursing word. She gave a thumb up and spoke, "President Mo is good! The two of you got a marriage certificate a month ago and you're already pregnant. He's that impatient?"

Edith let out a laugh upon hearing Lily's words, but couldn't tell her that this was unplanned.

Lily heaved a sigh and continued, "I can understand why he is impatient. How old he is this year? Even Hazel will start to enter school next year."

Who knew what was in Neil's mind when his younger brother, Adam get married and had a child earlier than him? Perhaps, after looking after Hazel for a few months, Neil was starting to regret that he did not have a child sooner.

"I'm expected to give birth in early spring next year."
