I smiled slightly before taking out some money from my wallet and stuffing it into her hands. “This is enough for them to stay here for some time. The extra cash is for you to help me take good care of them. You’ll get more next time.”

As soon as the woman received the money, her smiled was so wide that her entire face scrunched up, as she continuously nodded and said some nice, reassuring words.

Since I had taken out all the cash I had on me, I looked at Ashton. He smiled back at me helplessly as he retrieved his wallet from his blazer and passed it to me.

I smiled at him before opening his wallet to take out all his cash, then handed it to Sasha’s mother. “Mrs. Brooks, take this money first. We’ll be back to visit you sometime later. Just give me a call if you need anything else.”

She repeatedly declined, “I can’t take this money. You’ve already been kind by paying the rent for us, so we can’t take any more money from you. Please take it back, Mrs. Fuller.”

I shook my head and replied, “Just take it. The two of you can use it to live well here. I’ll only feel better if you accept the money. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease. Just take it and live a better life with Mr. Brooks. Don’t worry; things will definitely get better in the future.”
