Chapter 330 Going Back to City P 5


    “I’ll tell him.”


    He was silent for a moment, nodded, and signed.


    “What are your ns for the future?” he said, with some destion on his face.


    “Don''t know yet!” Even if I stayed at the hotel, Leo and Dennis’s showing up would make it impossible


    for me to escape the gossip.


    He nodded. “Keep in touch.”


    I smiled, “The vegetation in the yard still needs your attention.” I had no intention of selling the house in


    HL Area. After riana went to college and had her own life, I might still want toe back to HL


    Area. This was where I grew up, and this was where I ended up.


    He nodded and smiled. “Let’s have dinner sometime. Joey doesn’t know you’re leaving yet. The kids


    are on good terms. At least let them say goodbye.”


    After answering, I went straight back to the yard. It waste August, and the fruits and vegetables in the


    backyard were ripe. By this time, more seeds should have been sown.


    But we were leaving now, so naturally we couldn’t nt any more.


    I didn’t pack much of riana’s clothes or luggage, and I didn’t pack much of mine, just a few changes.


    Dinner with Nathan and Joey was on weekends. I told riana we were leaving ahead of time, so she


    was prepared, but she still felt bad.


    She, who had always been noisy, suddenly became sensible. She handed Joey her Lucky money and


    her favorite things, saying softly, “Mom said it’s not convenient for us to bring these things. Please keep


    them for me, and I’lle back to youter.”


    Joey, always silent, was even more silent. He looked up at me and said, “ra, when are you and


    rianaing back?”


    I couldn’t answer the question for a while, so I said after thinking for a while, “We’lle back


    sometime for holidays.”


    He heard we’d be back, and his rare smile came to him, “Dad and I will wait for you in HL Area for


    Christmas.”


    I almost forgot it would soon be Christmas day. “Okay, riana and I will be back for Christmas.”


    Hearing this answer, both children felt better.


    Nathan didn''t say much. After a long silence, he looked at me and said, “Are you going to City P?”


    I shook my head. “Probably not for a while.”


    riana was young, and I never took her back to Newton Town. Now that she was older, I wanted to


    take her to See Diana in Newton Town. I hadn’t talked to her in all these years. I didn’t know how.


    After saying goodbye and returning from dinner, riana held me wistfully. I knew she couldn’t bear to


    leave.

    After I put her to bed, I called Dennis.


    When the phone was answered, he said in a charming voice, “I just took out my cell phone and wanted


    to call you, and you called. Are we on the same page?”


    I smiled, looked out the window at the moon, and said, “I quit my job at the hotel.”


    He seemed unsurprised. “Well,” he said dryly, “with your knowledge and vision, staying in a hotel is not


    enough for you.”


    I smiled. Was that apliment?


    “Where are you going?” He spoke softly.


    “I haven’t decided yet!” What I was thinking about now was riana’s future. HL Area was great, but it


    didn’t seem so ideal for riana’s future. She could have a better future, and I had to think of


    everything for her.


    “I’ll support you wherever you go, and remember, riana’s my daughter, too.” He spoke in a light,


    warm voice, with a certain calmness.


    I lost my focus for a few seconds and nodded, “Ok!”


    It was the best way to get along than it used to be. He didn’t force me to go there and stay there, but


    patiently gave me advice and guided me. To be honest, I really liked it.


    After hanging up, I booked a flight to Newton Town. There was no airport in HL Area, so we had to take


    an hour and a half to get to the city by car.


    In September, I arrived in Newton Town. riana was here for the first time, and as soon as she got off


    the ne, she ran around, saying excitedly, “Mom, it’s big here.”


    I smiled and took her to YT Apartment. When I left, I bought a house and left Diana’s house for


    riana.


    I had the keys, and there were photos of riana and me in the apartment. riana was excited and


    walked around the house. Seeing the photo on the head of the bed in the bedroom, she took it to me


    and asked, “Mom, who is this aunt with you?”


    Her face was innocent and lovely and full of doubt. I felt some pain in my heart. I took the picture frame


    in her hand and looked at the picture of us, who were young and smiling happily.


    This picture was taken the year we graduated from college. Diana was already working at a bar that


    year.


    She saved the money and dragged me to the studio to take this photo. “We always have to keep some


    memories of the time,” she said. “Otherwise, when we get old, we will forget what we were like when


    we were young.”


    Yeah!


    We always had to leave some memory of the time, otherwise we would forget ourselves.


    “Mom, why are you crying?” riana said in her soft, sweet voice. I crouched down and hugged her,


    feeling terrible.


    “riana, I’m gonna take you to the aunt tomorrow, okay?” I hadn’t been here in four years. I was


    wandering if she was okay.


    riana nodded, looked at Diana in the photo and lifted her hand to wipe my tears. “Ok!”


    I put my arms around her, and I suppressed my emotions, “riana, this auntie is the most important


    person to mom, and to you, so will you promise to stop calling her auntie and call her mom, too?”


    She was confused, “Why? Joey said you can only have one father and one mother. If I call someone


    else Mom, what do I call you?”


    I couldn’t tell riana I didn’t give birth to her, but I didn’t want her to not remember Diana at all. She


    had no memory until she was four years old, but after that, she remembered everything about Diana.


    She seemed a little confused, but seeing how serious I was, she thought for a moment and nodded.


    “Okay, mom, I’ll do what you want. I’ll call this aunt Diana Mommy, okay?”


    I nodded.


    We settled down. The next day.


    I took riana to the cemetery in a cab. I had not been here for a long time, and the cemetery seemed


    to have been erged again, with more and more headstones.


    How many people lost their families and loved ones in four years.


    At the gate of the flower shop outside the cemetery, the flower seller was a middle-aged woman.


    Seeing me with my child, she blurted out, “Do you want a bunch of white chrysanthemums?”


    I smiled, shook my head and ushered riana into the shop. “Hi, I’d like to choose on my own, may I?”
