If you say the outside is dirty, one can understand. Because it’s a public area and no one maintains it. But if the home is also dirty, it only means that the owner of the house is lazy and doesn’t clean up after himself.
“I’m sorry, Renea. Please don’t mind. Your father... and I aren’t... I mean, we are all too busy working and that’s why we don’t have time to clean up the home.” Selena, explains embarrassedly.
Not loving to clean up and being busy are not mutually exclusive.
Besides, it’s Thursday. Yet, she was in her pajamas, beating her son on the streets with the stick. So, it didn’t look like she is being very busy.
“Renea, sit down. I... will go and pour you some water,” Selena hurriedly greeted.
Renea looked at the sofa, piled up with clothes, and found a place to sit. She scanned the whole house. The House was very small, just 80 square meters, with two rooms and one hall. The home store supplies in the houses were old. Some of them were even broken.
“Renea have some water.” Selena said as she handed over the cup of water.
“Thanks!” Renea took it. There was still dirt on the water cup that hadn’t been washed off either.
She places the glass of water on the already broken coffee table.
Selena looked at her with great joy in her eyes and said, “Renea, I’m so happy that you came back. I know that with a family like ours, it’s condescending to let you come back.
As she spoke, Selena choked up.
“We were looking for you so long.We just wanted to see you to know that how you are doing. We don’t have the luxury of you recognizing us!”
Selena became more and more sad and self-moved.
Renea just quietly watched her perform.
Just then, Selena’s phone rang, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears to answer the phone.
“Hey, not today.”
“I have a guest at home, today.”
“It’s true that I can’t... How bout this? How about tonight? I’ll play night game with you guys tonight.”
“Don’t worry. Isn’t just a small win for you guys. Still afraid, I won’t. We’re looking for you, and we just wanted to come. Okay, that’s it.” After that, she hung up the phone.
Selena had thought she was speaking very quietly. However, she didn’t expect to be heard by Renea.
Turning back embarrassed, she explained, “The factory supervisor called and said, I should go to work.”
“If you guys are busy, then I’ll come back some other time.” Renea said and stood up. Ready to leave.
However, Selena rushed over to stop her in their tracks and said, “I have already taken my leave.”
“Renea... Is it Renea? Is Renea back?” Karl strides in.
When he saw Renea, he was very excited. With tears in his eyes, he couldn’t even speak for half a day.
Renea looked at him measureinly. His clothes were old but clean. And there was a strong smell of tobacco coming from him. It didn’t look like he came back from the work site.
Gabe incredulously questioned, “Mom and dad, this can’t be true, right?”
Selena and Karl bowed their heads.
Gabe instantly felt unavailable. The money tree in his hand was just gone like this.
“How much did Leon give you guys?” Renea asked again.
However, they didn’t say anything.
Seeing both of the couple scowling, Renea snorted coldly, “If you guys don’t say anything, I will just publish the paternity test result directly, and then you guys will go to the police station and make it clear by yourselves.”
As soon as she heard the word police station, Selena panicked and quickly said, “He said to give us ten hundred thousand dollars. However, he only gave 50,000 dollars at first and said that we will have to cooperate with him so that you believe that you are out daughter. Once you accept us, then he will us the rest of the 50,000 dollars.”
For a family like Karl’s, ten hundred thousand dollars is quite a lot of money.
Moreover, they also enquire that Renea inherited a legacy from the Morris family and after recognizing Renea as their daughter they wouldn’t worry about money when the time.
The two families agreed. That night, they searched for several family recognition videos to see how to interrupt the bond after years of separation.
“Girl, we... don’t mean in. Please, don’t call the police. Don’t worry. We won’t pester you, and we will also make it clear that you are not our daughter, okay?” Selena begged.
It’s $100,000 is too little to compare to going to jail time.
