Chapter 1012 Stay and Never Go Back

"Stay, and never go back to that place that hurt you the most. When you were young, you wanted to

escape, didn't you?" Athena's tone was gentle and persuasive.

"But..."

Athena interrupted, "Archer is my son's savior. I'm not unreasonable for helping you."

As she spoke, she took a house plan from her bag and handed it to Edith.

"This community is not in a bustling area, but there are subway and bus stations at the community

entrance. There is also a large supermarket within five minutes' walk, and a wet market nearby."

Edith took the housing plan. "Mrs. Crawford, I don't understand."

"I bought a small three-bedroom apartment in your name in this community."

Edith exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! No, you can't do this. We can rent a house..."

"But I've already bought it, and it can't be refunded. Besides, the house is not a gift for you, I will keep

accounts. When Archer and Poppy grow up and can earn money, they have to pay me back," Athena

said.

"This is not a good idea..." Edith looked ashamed.

"It's all for your child," Athena said gently.

Hearing that, Edith had no choice but cried and nodded. "Thank you, Mrs. Crawford. Thank you very

much."

"All the furniture and home appliances are complete in the house. You can choose a day and move in.

You have endured for so many years. Now the children have grown up, good days are coming. You

have to take care of yourself," Athena said softly.

"Um!" As she sobbed, Edith nodded.

After talking with her, Athena didn't go upstairs and went home directly.

When Edith returned home, Archer and Poppy saw her crying. They immediately stopped their work

and ran over hurriedly, asking, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Why are you crying? The doctor said that you needed to have stable emotions. What happened?"

Archer paused as if he had thought of something. He exclaimed, "Did Ambrose come?"

Hearing that, Poppy became anxious.

Edith saw their expressions.

She was still hesitant just now, but at that moment when she saw the children's reaction, she

compromised.

"Archer, Poppy, we will never go back to that place and never see Ambrose again in this life." Edith

choked up and continued, "I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well before!"

If she resisted and fought against Ambrose with her life, he wouldn't bully her son and daughter so

brazenly.

Archer thought for a while and said, "We're not going back? But the landlord said he could only rent the

house to us for half a year... It's okay. I will work a few more jobs at that time, earn more money, and

change another house."

"We have a house." Edith raised her hand, holding the key, address, and floor plan that Athena gave

her earlier, saying, "Ms. Stella bought it for us. But we have to save the money and pay back to her

slowly."

Poppy took over the floor plan in a daze.

Archer responded, "Then, can Poppy and I take the college entrance examination here?"

The thing he was least willing to part with if he had to leave Girard City was his studies.

The teachers in the city were much better than the teachers in his school.

He learned more in a month than in the previous ten years combined.
