Chapter 3091 She Stays Then I Stay
Larry was immediately stunned. We’re having such a nice time alone right now. Why bring him over? He looked at the woman in front of him, confused.
“Lucius is growing up. I want to let him get a better education.” Joan lowered her head and spoke in a soft tone. Right then, Larry understood where she was coming from, so he hesitated.
He was worried that Lucius might not be willing to come even if they agreed to bring him over.
The child had been living with Delilah for a long time now. Hence, it would be hard to separate the two. The other option they had would be to bring Delilah over as well. It was doable, but Larry knew full well that Delilah would most certainly not leave the village.
She lived there for the majority of her life, and the garden needed tending to, so there was no way she would stay in the city.
“You should stop thinking too much about this. Ms. Young and Lucius are never going to come,” Larry worded it very bluntly.
In fact, Joan herself knew this as well, but she still wanted to try. It was for the child, after all.
“Coincidentally, the weekend starts tomorrow. Let me go ask them.”
With that, Larry decided to let her be while he yawned and headed for bed.
On the other hand, in a psychiatric ward somewhere, Jessica held a child in her arms and was sitting in front of a young lady with Caspian beside him. A heartwarming sight to behold.
“Here, take a look. It’s your son.” Jessica handed the kid over to the young lady.
“How have you been? Feeling better?” Caspian asked gently.
They were having a great time.
Back at the house, Lucius was throwing a fit. “No! I’m not going! I want to stay with Grandma!”
The roar shocked Joan and gave her the instant realization about the child’s wishes, making her give up on the notion.
Joan knew that Lucius and Delilah’s bond was strong, but she could not stop thinking about Lucius’ future as he had to grow up eventually.
The energy in Joan’s eyes slowly faded, and she was feeling down.
“Lucius, you should go.” Delilah suddenly appeared and spoke monotonously. Truth be told, she was reluctant to see the child go. However, she wanted what was best for him. Delilah knew that being with Joan would allow Lucius to learn a lot more.
“But Grandma! I don’t want to! I want to be with you!” The child dived into Delilah’s embrace.
At that moment, Joan was moved by the scene in front of her.
“Ms. Young, why don’t you come with us as well? We can move all the flowers in the garden over.” Joan gave Delilah a light pat on the shoulder.
Delilah raised her head, relieved to see that Joan could accept the child and her even though she had not recovered all her memories. Delilah felt immeasurably proud.
“Count me out of it. I’m too old for that. It’s too much of a hassle, so just take Lucius,” she said as she was about to leave.
“No! If Grandma stays, then I stay!” The kid shouted and ran away.
Joan was astonished. She had never seen Lucius as angry as he was.
“Ms. Young, just come with us. I know you’re worried about the flowers. We can move them all there! Trust me. Look at Lucius right now. If you don’t come along, there’s no way he’d go. Please? For Lucius?”
Joan was swinging Delilah’s arm while she spoke.
Delilah’s gaze narrowed and shifted towards the window. Flashes of hesitation glinted within her eyes. She obliviously wanted Lucius to have the brightest future possible. Having said that, she lived there for more than just a few decades, so it was hard to say goodbye to it.
“How about this? We can move back after Lucius grows up and becomes independent. The house will still be yours, don’t worry,” Joan proposed.
Alright then. This is all for the child.
