Chapter 1020

Lately, the teachers have been singing his praises every day in class.

Today, one of them even asked if he was thinking about entering some physics contests.

His mom doesn't want her son to be stuck in this tiny fishing village forever.

Even worse, she doesn't want her daughter to follow in her own footsteps.

"Stay here, don't go back to that place that hurt you. I know you wanted to leave there when you were young, right?" Rosalynn said in a sweet, persuasive tone.

"But..."

"Steven saved my son's life," Rosalynn cut her off. "Emotionally and practically, I'm going to help you guys out."

With that, Rosalynn pulled out a floor plan from her bag and handed it over to Xenia.

"This neighborhood isn't in the city center but there's a subway and a bus stop right outside. It's a five-minute walk to a big supermarket and there's a farmer's market nearby too." Xenia took the floor plan, "Madam, I don't quite understand."

"I bought a three-bedroom apartment in this neighborhood, in your name."

"Oh god!" Xenia was shocked. "We can't accept this, we can just rent..."

"But I've already bought it, there's no backing out now," Rosalynn said helplessly. "And, this apartment isn't a gift. I'm keeping tabs. When Steven and Sheila grow up, they can pay me back." "But we can't..." Xenia was clearly uneasy to accept it.

"It's all for your kids." Rosalynn said kindly.

Xenia listened quietly.

Finally, she nodded tearfully, "Thank you, Madam. I really can't thank you enough!"

"The place is fully furnished. Pick a good day and move in," Rosalynn said quietly. "You've had a tough few years, and the kids are grown up. Better days are around the corner, just take care of yourself." "Okay!" Xenia nodded, tears streaming down.

After talking to Xenia, Rosalynn headed straight home without going upstairs.

When Xenia got home, her son and daughter saw her crying and immediately dropped what they were doing and ran over, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Why are you crying? The doctor said you need to keep calm, what happened?" Steven paused for a moment as if he'd thought of something, "Did Luis come by?"

At the mention of that name, Sheila immediately looked panicked.

Seeing this, Xenia was sure of her decision.

"My loves, we're never going back to that place. We'll never see Luis again," Xenia choked out. "I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you before!"

She wouldn't let that scumbag hurt her son and daughter, even if it meant going to war with Luis!

"So you're not going back? But the landlord said we could only rent for half a year..." Steven thought for a moment, "It's okay, I'll replace more jobs, earn more money, and then replace another place.

"We already have a place," Xenia held up her hand, in it were the keys, address, and floor plan Rosalynn had given her. "Ms. Jared bought it for us, but we need to start saving to pay her back!" Sheila took the floor plan in a daze.

Steven took a moment to process this.

"So, me and sis can go to school here?"

What he cared about most was his education.

In just over a month, he'd learned more than he had in the past ten or so years.
