Helen wanted to stay in Aurous Hill for a while.
It was not only because she missed Curtis, but it was also because she truly liked the warm and humid ancient city by the riverside. Also, she was still thinking about that old mansion that Curtis used to live in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wanted to continue staying in Aurous Hill so that she could buy that old mansion. After that, she would renovate it nicely again. 2 If there was nothing special in the future, Helen was even willing to settle down in Aurous Hill.
Helen had gotten married to Sheldon because she had already lost all of her confidence and expectation in love and relationships after seeing the man that she loved so deeply getting married to another woman. 5 However, even after getting married to Sheldon, Helen only felt family affection for him and not love.
As soon as Sheldon's betrayal of their marriage had cto light, Helen's family affection for Sheldon had also disappeared instantly.
Therefore, even though she had not officially divorced Sheldon yet, she had already decided in her heart that she would no longer force herself to do anything because of anyone else in the future. 3 She wanted to live according to her own ideas and expectations from this moment onward.
Settling down in Aurous Hill would be the first step.
When Sophie heard that her mother wanted her to stay in Aurous Hill, she was naturally very unwilling to do so deep in her heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe thought to herself, 'No matter whether it is the Schulz family or the Dunn family, our main sphere of influence is based in Eastcliff. I will only have the opportunity to mobilize more resources to find my benefactor if I am back in Eastcliff.' 'I will not be able to mobilize any resources at all if I were to continue staying in Aurous Hill with my mother!' 'Furthermore, my mother is so strongly opposed to the idea oflooking for my benefactor. I will not have the chance to continue looking for him if I were to be under her watchful eyes in the future...' 3 Sophie felt extremely depressed when she thought about this. So, she did not respond to her mother's words immediately.
When Helen saw that Sophie had an expression that was full of hesitation and unwillingness, Helen could not help but frown as she asked, "Why? Do you mean that you are not willing to agree to my request, then?" Sophie hurriedly replied, "No, Mom. That is not the case. I actually want to continue staying in Aurous Hill with you, but to be honest, I am afraid that I will not be accustomed to life in Aurous Hill if I have to stay here for a long time..." Helen nodded before she asked, "Tellwhat you are not used to, then." Sophie shook her fingers as she said, "Look! The winter in Eastcliff has always been very dry, but Aurous Hill is very humid..."
Helen immediately said, "It does not matter. We could simply get someone to install the best central dehumidification system in your room. After that to that we can check the weather conditions in Eastcliff in realtime. We can make sure that the air humidity in your room is perfectly matched with the air humidity in Eastcliff. If the air humidity in Eastcliff is at ten percent, we will keep your room at a humidity of ten percent too. There will not be a single percentage difference in the air humidity at all." 7 Sophie felt very frustrated, and she hurriedly said," The air humidity is not the only problem, but I am also concerned about the living habits here. I am not quite used to the food in Aurous Hill..." 1
Helen waved her hand and said, "It is okay if you are not used to the food here. I can assign a chef to chere from Eastcliff. Didn't you enjoy the food made by our chef at hod made when you were home? It just so happens that your father is in Australia now, anyway. So, the chef is just at hbeing idle. I will ask him to cover here tomorrow. Oh, no! I will ask him to cover here today so that you will be able to enjoy familiar hcooking in the morning tomorrow." 2 Sophie replied awkwardly, "Um... Mom... I can stay here to accompany you, but my brother has to go back to Eastcliff anyway. If you bring the chef here to Aurous Hill, what is my brother going to do after he goes back?"
Before Helen could speak up, Jaimmediately stated his position very firmly, "It's okay! I will be fine! bcould I just eat out every day, then! Anyway, it is easy forto settle my food as I am a carefree bachelo who only needs to take care of myself without having to support a family!" 10 X
