Chapter 6 Mr. Reed, I'll Buy You a House

Elizabeth had them sit on the living room sofa, watching Hugo and the others pack their belongings. Hugo glanced at Elizabeth, said nothing, and went into the bedroom with Jennie and Tina to pack. As soon as they entered the bedroom, Amber followed them in.

Amber looked around the shabby bedroom with a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. But she quickly masked her expression and said softly, "Dad, are you really moving out? Your monthly salary isn't much, and you have a family to support. Where will you live if you move? Why not just listen to grandma?"

Hugo turned to look at her without a word.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Amber turned to Tina, "Tina, dad has spent so much to find you over the years. Now that you're back, are you willing to let him be homeless?"

Tina's eyes lifted slightly, a mocking smile playing on her cool cheeks. "Isn't marrying Mr. Farrell a good option? At least your future would be secure. If it were me, I certainly wouldn't let dad have a fallout with his own family over me," Amber said, talking to herself.

The corners of Tina's mouth curled up, and she crossed her arms, looking at Amber with interest, "If you're so understanding, why don't you marry into the family? The Reed family has raised you for so many years, don't you think it's time for you to contribute?"

Amber's face changed color and she cursed Tina inwardly, but she maintained a smile on her face, "What a pity it's Tina who is engaged to Mr. Farrell!"

Tina's smile deepened. For some reason, Amber felt a sudden panic and quickly said, "Since you're so determined, I won't say more. Dad, grandma said if you don't pack up within an hour, she'll have someone throw your things out!" "I know," Hugo said, not wanting to prolong the conversation.

After Amber left, Hugo looked at the clutter in the house and worried, "We'll never pack all this in an hour. Maybe I should call someone to help?" Jennie nodded, "Yeah, that would be faster."

Watching them busily packing, Tina felt a softness deep in her heart. Aside from her mother and master, only they had ever protected her like this.

Tina pursed her lips and slowly said, "Just take what we need. I still have some money on me. We'll find a place that is ready-to-move-in, and we can get the rest of what we need once we're there."
