Chapter 1427


    I looked at thendlord and spoke indifferently, "The couple is old. Do you still have any rooms on the first floor?"


    The woman was in a trance for a moment, then she looked at me and asked, "Of course, there is. Do you want to rent it?"


    I nodded with a cold attitude. "Why don''t you help them put their things in first? I''ll be sure to pay you more."


    She looked at me and at Theo, then wore a smile on her face as she deftly packed up the things for the couple.


    Amelia''s mother looked at me with a reddened face. "Mrs. Grant, you''ve helped me enough. We really can''t-" "Don''t worry and stay here. Ma''am. Don''t think about anything else. Settle down for a period of time. Things will get better."


    I was not very good atforting someone, nor did I know the best way tofort her, hence I could only say so.


    Thendlord moved the couple''s things back. When she came out, she said to me with a grin, "Ma''am, I''ve moved their things. Is there anything else that I can do?"


    I smiled slightly and took out my purse from my bag.


    Giving her some money, I said mildly, "This should be enough for the couple to stay here for a period of time. I''ll also need your help to watch after them next time. Rest assured that you''ll be paid ordingly."


    After taking the money, the woman was grinning from ear to ear while showering us withpliments.


    As I had given her all the cash in my purse, I looked at Theo and hinted at him silently.


    Theo helplessly smiled and took out his wallet from his trouser pocket. He gave it to me.


    I opened his wallet and pulled out all the cash from it. I gave it to Amelia''s mother, saying, "Ma''am, take this money and buy something to


    replenish your bodies. We''ll "


    and visit you again soon. Give me a


    caffif you need anything."


    Amelia''s mother refused. "I can''t take your money anymore. You''ve helped us too much, and you even paid for our rent. We can''t ept any more of your money.


    Please take it back, Mrs. Grant."


    with


    I shook my head. "You have to take the money, Ma''am. Amelia worked hard for thepany when she was still alive and made a lot of contributions. This is our duty. Besides, we can only go back ease after you take the money. You don''t wish to see us constantly being worried about you, do you? From now on, thetwo of you will depend on each other. Things will get better."


    Seeing her tearful appearance, I did not know what else to say. I told her to take care of herself and other things like that before leaving.


    When Theo and I made it past the stretch of dpidated road and got back inside the car, I could not help but sigh.


    Theo nced at the time and asked me with a smile, "What would you like to eat?"


    If he had not mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that we only had a bit of oatmeal for breakfast. Our stomachs had been empty until now. Thinking about it now, D


    realized that I was already starving.


    I turned back to look in the direction where Amelia''s parents lived. They must be hungry too.


    Theo knew about my worries and held my hand with a smile. "Don''t worry, I''ve already asked someone to deliver them food. Don''t think about them right now and instead think of what we''re going to eat."


    I thought about it and said, "Let''s just randomly look for a restaurant near our ce. It''ste, so let''s not go downtown."Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Theo sighed and squeezed my palm lightly, saying helplessly, "Do you remember what we were supposed to be doing today?"


    I nodded. "We''ll go some other time since there''s no rush."
