CHAPTER 303
Ava felt a wave of happiness as she saw her husband and son waiting to pick her up from work. It was rare for them to head straight home without a trip to the hospital. She had heard that they had spent the day searching for schools and were pretty tired, so they had just grabbed a quick meal outside. On the way home, Thomas started talking about the school they found."I looked into Green School. The faculty and facilities are top-notch, but there's one major issue I need to discuss with you."As soon as Ava heard the name Green School, it struck a chord. She quickly pulled out her phone to look it up, and her jaw nearly dropped. Such an impressive school! Did Thomas really think they could qualify for admission?"Oh my gosh, can we even get into that school? It would be great for our daughter, but it sounds like it would be a huge burden for us." Thomas was momentarily taken aback; explaining this to Ava was going to be a bit tricky."It was definitely going to be tough, but my dad
CHAPTER 304
The community had been around for quite some time, so renovations were to be expected. However, this person was the kind who could bring his first set of buyers to see the place, which showed he knew what he was doing."Let's take a look inside. If everything seems all right, we can go ahead and consider this house," he suggested.Memories of his childhood were becomingincreasingly hazy. To him, family now meant only his daughter and wife; everyone else felt like a distant memory. Having a house he once lived in felt comforting.As they stepped inside and looked around, he found that some aspects of the place still matched his memories of Thomas. Miss Hutton could see that he was quite pleased."There's no need to check the next two houses. Let's go with this one. It's also the closest to the school," he decided. The real estate agent beside him felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders. He had initially brought Thomas to see this house, banking on its proximity to the school. Recent
CHAPTER 305
Ava looked at Thomas with a troubled expression. She suspected that her mother had suggested this hospital visit on purpose, knowing it would keep Rachel from leaving. Solara surgery was approaching, and Ava really didn't want to argue with him about it."I can't go back with you guys today. You should head home early. Let's postpone the house viewing for two days until Mom has her surgery," Ava said, her discomfort evident.Thomas nodded understandingly. After all, the property was his, and the house wasn't going anywhere."Don't worry, I won't push this issue with her. You focus on being there for your mom, and I'll take care of our daughter," he reassured her.As Thomas took Emma home, he noticed she seemed a bit down. She had really liked the neighborhood they visited today; the house was big and beautiful."Dad, did I say something to upset Grandma? Was it because of the house?"Emma asked, her voice tinged with concern. Thomas thought it best not to dwell on negative influences
CHAPTER 306
Thomas glanced at the two of them and casually asked which one was better, before taking a seat diagonally across from him."What's going on? Did something happen that you needed me here so urgently?"He looked Thomas up and down, and it had been a long time since he felt such an intense gaze. It didn't seem like there was any real urgency; it felt more like a deliberate summon."You said you were just at home. Were you really at home? Did you leave the kid alone?"Thomas cursed under his breath. He had been so focused on meeting with the principal that he overlooked this huge flaw in his story."I thought you had something important to discuss, so I asked the neighbor to keep an eye on things. It wouldn't be convenient to bring the kid along." He spoke the lie smoothly, but he could see the frown on the other person's face. It seemed this guy was sharper than he appeared."I've been going in circles for you. Just tell me the truth, where is Emma right now?"Solara’s tone was off, and
CHAPTER 307
As Thomas stepped out of the hospital, a wave of worry washed over him. He hadn't anticipated that Solara would go so far as to send someone to keep an eye on him. Such a clumsy tactic, yet it had still yielded some results.The few photos weren't a big deal, but for Ava, who already had her suspicions, this could lead to a different outcome. What mattered most was identifying the person watching him. He couldn't allow anyone to continue leaking details about his daily life. He realized he hadn't been cautious enough, leaving himself vulnerable to such intrusions.He pulled out his phone and called David to come pick him up. Thomas was growing tired of this charade. As soon as he got into the car, Emma quickly sensed her father's mood."Dad, is it because Grandma isn't doing well? You look really upset."David glanced at Thomas, knowing it had to be something else weighing on his mind."Emma, would you like to live in a big house every day, with different cars picking you up for scho
CHAPTER 308
Ava arrived at the hospital, her mind still preoccupied with thoughts of David. It was surprising to learn that such a prominent figure knew Thomas. It seemed Thomas had a knack for attracting influential people; he truly was the family's lucky charm."What are you doing here so late? It's just me and the nurse taking care of things," Jack said, noticing Ava's hurried demeanor. He felt a twinge of concern for her."It's nothing. Thomas told me Mom wasn't feeling well, but I hope it's not serious now," Ava replied, trying to sound casual.Jack’s expression shifted. They had already met so Thomas might have only mentioned this issue to her."It's nothing serious. How did Thomas tell you?" he asked, his curiosity piqued."Just that by the time he arrived, Mom was already fine. He didn't mention anything else," Ava said, choosing not to bring up David. Mrs. Solara was still reluctant for them to buy a house, and she didn't want to open up a can of worms that would lead to a complicated co
CHAPTER 309
Jack pretended he hadn't heard that. He still didn't know Solara’s temper. Right now, he could see that Thomas was getting close to her, and he suspected it was all about thepotential benefits. Solara indeed saw an opportunity, even discovering a bigger business prospect. She had been hesitating about how to convince her father to give her that money. Still, now an opportunity had presented itself-she could even get more money without having to manipulate her father."Mom, Thomas, and I will handle this. We're not kids anymore. If he's willing to help, that's great, but we won't bother him unnecessarily," she said, trying to reassure her mother. David’s letting Solara breathe a little was already a relief for her; she didn't want to push for more."Speaking of which, he has helped us quite a bit with school and housing issues. Why don't we arrange to meet him and properly thank him?" Ava suggested. Hearing this, Jack felt something was off. His mom wanted to meet someone like him, b
CHAPTER 310
David had done a decent favor for Thomas, which helped Ava make up her mind about buying a house much faster. He had already started scouting for options and preparing everything, so that once Ava finished her work at the hospital in a couple of days, she could move in without any hassle.However, there was still some groundwork to do, particularly regarding discussions with the school and David.Without wasting any time, Thomas planned to wait a couple more days before informing Ava about the final price for the house. Ava wasn't too distracted by the hospital matters; instead, her work situation was becoming increasingly complicated. Over the weekend, she had to go into the office two days in a row, all for the sake of some financial audits. They claimed that her investment proposal had wasted a lot of company resources, but the actual losses were minimal. She couldn't understand why her boss was so adamant about it."Just say what you need to say. Sure, I held an interview for an i
CHAPTER 311
"That's great! How about tomorrow then?"Solara was truly out of her mind, showing no concern at all. Ava cleared her throat softly a couple of times. She was scheduled for surgery the day after tomorrow, yet she seemed completely unconcerned about going out for dinner tomorrow. If something went wrong during the surgery, who would she blame? Would she really pin it on Mr. David?Jack also felt uneasy about the situation. However, since the suggestion had already been made, he worried it might leave a bad impression, so he just frowned and stayed silent."I think we should skip it, Mom. Don't you remember you have surgery the day aftertomorrow? Mr. David should also consider his own health," Thomas said, his tone far from gentle as he entered with his daughter. Hearing this, Solara was about to snap back at him, but then she glanced at David beside her and held her tongue. What was this kid trying to stir up?"Hey, Dad, isn't that the grandpa from yesterday?"The child looked at Davi
CHAPTER 312
"How is that even possible? That house must be worth at least ten million, especially a standalone villa like that. You can't get one for less than thirty or forty million." The difference was more than tenfold."It does seem unlikely, but I've been in touch with the property manager over there, and that's the truth. There are only three houses left, and the locations aren't very desirable, but I think they look pretty good," Thomas said confidently, speaking with ease and showing no signs of deceit."And the way the school makes money is different from typical real estate. Just look at their tuition fees, and you'll understand." There's an unspoken rule that parentsneed to make a significant financial contribution before their kids can enroll.No parent who hasn't gone through the process would know this.Naturally, Ava had no idea. So, after hearing this, she thought it made sense. After all, her son had attended that elite school because they wanted to boost their reputation by of
