Chapter 2337
"Sure, let''s go! Business was good today, I''ll treat you guys to dinner!" Ryder was very happy.
Although the two of them had never met before, it felt like they had known each other forever.
"Okay!" Raelynn smiled and the family of three went out for dinner.
Raelynn did not know any ce to go for good food nearby.
However, Ryder did.
"Raelynn, do you have anything you want to eat?" Ryder looked at his beautiful sister. Even in the
crowd, she was still the center of attraction.
Everyone who walked past her couldn''t help but stare.
Ryder walked beside her, blocking everyone else''s gaze.
When men with bad intentions turned to them, he would re at them in warning.
Raelynn noticed what he was doing.
She felt warmth spreading in her heart and she smiled. "Ryder, Mom, I''m not picky about food. Eat
whatever you guys want."
Ryder then suggested, "Raelynn, there''s a restaurant in front that serves fish with pickled
vegetables. It''s really good! What do you think?"
The food there was delicious and the price was fair.
Raelynn agreed, "Sure! I love that dish as well."
Ryder smiled happily at her response. "Okay! Then let''s go."
Raelynn nodded with a smile and then suddenly remembered something.
On the deste journey of life, family was the only source of motivation.
The three of them quickly arrived at a restaurant not far away. Compared to the noisy streets, the
atmosphere here seemed much calmer and quiet.
The decor was very simple, but it was clean and tidy.
The ingredients were all ced in the refrigerator, and the dishes were made fresh to order.
Ryder had been here several times, and he had been craving it for quite some time.

He quickly ordered the fish with pickled vegetables and handed the menu over to Raelynn and their
mother.
Malia had always been frugal as she worked hard and saved up wherever she could. She barely ate
out.
Unless her son dragged her out.
However, today was the day that her daughter had returned, so she happily ordered whatever she
wanted.
As they waited for the dishes to be served, Raelynn briefly told them about what had happened over
the past years.
Only then did Malia realize that the Edwards Family had already known that their daughter was not
their biological daughter.
"Raelynn, I''m sorry! It was my fault. You''ve suffered a lot these years. Look at your adoptive
parents. You haven''t been doing well in their home these years. When I gave birth to you, I''m all by
myself in the hospital, and you were twins.
When I woke up again, I only saw the two of you. I can''t even fathom how I could''ve gotten the
wrong babies."
Upon hearing this, Ryder wanted to ask where their father had gone.
However, in the past 20 years, Malia had never mentioned their father in front of them.
Raelynn also knew very well that if they followed after their mother''s surname, it meant that they
had no father.
Now that they were independent, they could live a good life without a father.
Since their mother didn''t want to talk about the past, they wouldn''t ask any further.
"Mom, it''s okay. At that time, I had already decided to go abroad to study. Although they didn''t give
me enough support, I still managed to obtain schrships. I have been working hard and studying
abroad these years, so I have saved up some money. When I''m on break next weekend, we can
look around for a house with three rooms. We can live there."
If they chose an old neighborhood to live in, the monthly payments would be very low if she paid
80% of the down payment. With the money she makes from night sses and livestreams, she
would be able to afford the monthly payments.
She had started streaming ever since she was abroad. She was genuine and detailed as she taught
the children, so she had garnered some fame for herself.
Ryder and Malia nced at each other and he said, "Raelynn, I''ve saved up some money over
these years. Why don''t I buy a new house?"
Although it was easier to pay off a second-hand house, the living conditions of a new house would
be better.
Raelynn nced at her brother awkwardly. "Ryder, I know that. But if we buy a house at a newly
built neighborhood, it would cost us over a million dors, and we would need another year to be
able to move in. If we dy the payment, it may take even longer."
"And you''re at the age of looking for a girlfriend. So in my opinion, we can choose a second-hand
house that''s still in good condition. We can buy wallpaper ourselves for the walls, and after cleaning
it up, we can move in. Moreover, your current house is too far from where I work, and I don''t want to
be separated from you guys."
"Ryder, save your money. When you get married, you can buy a new house."
However, he was unwilling to do this. He was the pir of the family. He had to earn money to buy a
house and provide both his mother and sister with a good life.
"No, how could I make you pay for everything alone?"
Raelynn smiled. Ryder looked exactly like her, and he looked very handsome when he smiled.
"Ryder, it''s not easy to start a family nowadays. The dowry could cost you up to several hundred
thousands. Don''t you worry, I will work hard, and mypany treats me very well too. I earn a
substantial amount. Give me a few more years'' time, our family will live a good life by then."
Malia smiled. Looking at her sensible children, she felt that it was worth it no matter how much she
had suffered.
After dinner, the family of three walked back home.
After returning to the night market, Ryder bought three cups
"Raelynn, you can stay here tonight." Ryder was reluctant to let her go.
Raelynn shook her head. "It''s okay. I don''t bring any clothes with me. I''ll just stay at a hotel for
tonight, and we''ll start looking for a house next week. After that, we''ll move closer to the city."
Ryder did not insist any further.
He worked in River City as well, and it took him an hour or two everyday for transport to and from
work.
He had thought about moving before, but his mother was so frugal that they ended up staying here.
Now that his sister was back, he didn''t want her to suffer.
"Raelynn, I''m going to rest tomorrow. I haven''t taken a break this year. I''ll start looking for a house
tomorrow. Mom, have you quit your work at the hot pot restaurant? The work there is dirty and
tiring."
Malia smiled and replied, "Both of you have decided to live in River City, so I can only resign. I will
find another job in River City."
After a discussion, Raelynn went back to the rental apartment and sat around for a while before
leaving.
Ryder then sent her to the bus stop.
He was a little worried about his beautiful sister returning home alone.
"Raelynn, how about I send you to your friend''s house?" He was still worried.
Raelynn knew that he was just concerned for her. "No, Ryder, it''s okay. I have your number now, I''ll
send you the addresses of some housester, you can go there tomorrow and ask for more details."
