"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?"

As the weekend arrived, Edith stared at her husband with her puppy dog eyes, begging her to take her out for a walk.

Seeing that her morning sickness had decreased, Sophie helped to convince Neil to bring his wife for a walk before she would suffocate, staying at home for a long time. Anyway, walking around for a while would be beneficial for pregnant women and therefore, Neil had no reason to decline.

As Hazel will start going to school next year, Neil and Edith had agreed to choose a place that would be closer to Hazel's school. After looking at the house, Neil then asked for the construction to begin.
