“Paranoid is an understatement,” Macky remarked with a quiet giggle, presumably possessing greater insight into Luke’s safety plans for her than she did. She merely gazed at him, exhaled audibly, and shook her head once again.
“About to suffocate me.”
Macky nodded, although had an amused expression towards her.
She redirected her attention to Nora and Elena. “I apologise once more for my abrupt departure.”
“I comprehend.” Elena affirmed, “Children are invaluable; I cherish both my daughters.”
“They are invaluable.” Bella affirmed, gazing directly at Nora. “I will genuinely require your assistance with the triplets now.” I understand you wish to await your mother and sister’s choice; nonetheless, I would appreciate your return with me when we depart. To assist me.
Nora, at 24 years old, gazed at her mother, demonstrating her strong familial attachment. “Mother?”
“You intended to stay for a month.” Elena nodded slowly.
It appears that Miss Freeman requires your assistance.
I require her assistance; I have confidence in your daughter’s ability to care for my children. She is a divine gift bestowed upon me by your deity, a genuine blessing, Elena. I understand the depth of your affection for her. Possesses a beautiful soul, exhibiting kindness and compassion; I am reluctant to lose her. My invitation for you and Maya to visit remains open, with the option to stay for an extended duration. “Observe Nora’s future residence,” she suggested.
Observed Elena smile at her kid, concurred with Bella’s feeling regarding her baby, and felt a sense of pride. She was proud of both her girls, recognising that they had been well raised by their mother.
“Elena,” Macky stated. “Did Maya complete the scholarship application? She could visit the university, and you could accompany her.”
“She may attend school at her discretion,” Elena asserted. “I do not require verification, and indeed, she and I have deliberated on the matter.” A scholarship would alleviate our current circumstances; therefore, she completed the application, although there was no postal address provided for submission.
Macky stated, “I apologise; however, I can manage that for you if you provide them to me.”
Bella mentally sighed, as it appeared Luke and Benzy had overlooked that minor issue, perhaps assuming Maya would simply return it to them for resolution.
“Understood,” Elena said, “I will retrieve the paperwork for you.” She then stood to proceed with the task.
Bella gazed at Nora. “Do you believe she will attend?” She enquired softly.” I sincerely wish for you to have your family around you. I understand their significance to you.
“She has expressed interest in owning her own store; it appears that the idea proposed by Mr. Cupper has piqued her curiosity, yet…” Nora’s gaze shifted to Macky, but she remained silent. I inhaled and glanced at Bella. “Until the end of the month, I hope Mama and Maya will join us, although it is probable they will remain here until the scholarship results are revealed.” Mother has been searching for accommodation for both of them, a challenging endeavour without my financial support.
Elena entered the room and handed Macky the paperwork for Maya’s scholarship as she took a seat. “When do you intend to depart for your new residence?”
“Luke intends to depart this afternoon; however, I am advocating for a postponement until tomorrow,” she remarked, shaking her head. “He is a busy individual and must return to his company.”
“Doesn’t he have someone to manage it in his absence?”
Bella laughed, “Indeed, his father took responsibility.”
“That is amusing because.”
“His father is retired yet enjoys mischief, and he is already amused at the prospect of being in charge again; one can only speculate about what he has purchased, sold, or whom he has employed.” “It greatly concerns Luke,” she remarked with a smile at Elena.
My mother informed me that he purchased a yacht for global travel. “Luke remains unaware,” Macky chuckled.
“The outcome will be intriguing once we return home.”
Bella’s eyes widened as she gazed at him; she was really in serious trouble if he behaved that way while she entrusted him with responsibility in her absence. Dismissed it; it was already too late. Would have to endure the repercussions of that minor setback.
“Do you communicate with your mother frequently?”Elena regarded him with mild astonishment.
“Daily,” he said. “My father as well; we share a strong bond.” We consistently share meals together almost daily, either breakfast or lunch, and we have a family dinner biweekly when I am not travelling for work. I am as close to my family as you are to yours.
“That is pleasing to hear.” I wish to meet them and would also like to ascertain your intentions regarding my daughter.
