Chapter 7

"Of course! I'll be there shortly!" Willow replied hastily.

After exchanging a few more words with the person on the phone, Willow quickly hung up.

The miserable feeling in her chest completely dissipated.

As expected, there is always a way out; when one door closes, another one opens.

She had sent her resume to Hughes Corporation while she was on the train the day before. She didn't think that she'd actually get a response.

Hughes Corporation was the most prominent and wealthiest corporation in Buscen City.

A corporation like that would definitely pay well.

"I'll be going for an interview now, Mom. Take care of the kids; stop playing poker. We should be honest people. We can't be greedy, or we'll end up horribly because of it," Willow said to Lara after she was done with her food.

"I got it! Geez! What kind of person talks to their mom like that?! I was just trying to make you work less! Why am I the greedy one now?!" Lara exclaimed stubbornly, refusing to admit to her fault.

"Thank you for your consideration, but you need to be doing the right thing too. Poker is gambling. If you get addicted, what do you think will happen to me and my kids?"

Willow knew that Lara was just trying to help, but it'd be really bad if she continued down this path.

She had a duty to pull Lara back to prevent her from going astray.

"I got it! Get out of here already!" Lara said impatiently.

Willow then hugged the children before leaving the house.

After a little while, Tristan and Julian exchanged glances. They were thinking of the same thing.

"I want milk, Grandma," Tristan said to Lara.

"Me too," Julian said.
