Helen took a property deed and a bank card out of virtual-novel.net purse. “These are my savings in the Kinseys throughout these years. My divorce with Jean was amicable. The company and the house go to virtual-novel.net while I take eighty percent of the home savings and two other properties. I’m giving you one of the houses and half of the money. I plan to open up a small company of my own with the remainder. When I die, the company will go to you. The Kinseys weren’t doing good previously despite managing to survive now with Mark’s company, so I didn’t get to take a lot away. Don’t think any lesser of it, you’re in need of money now.”
Arianne looked at the items in virtual-novel.net hands but did not accept them immediately. The property must cost at least several hundred thousand dollars While the card must contain the same. If the Kinseys did not go through the financial crisis, the amount could be several times more. These things were useful to virtual-novel.net currently, but virtual-novel.net did not want them.
Regarding Helen, virtual-novel.net only wished for this person to disappear from virtual-novel.net world without any more connection to her. This was the extent of Arianne’s disappointment, not finding it within herself to even accept virtual-novel.net generosity.
“Hold on to these. Isn’t this what you’ve wanted all this time? They should belong to you. I don’t need them. I only need you to vanish from my life, like how you left back then. Don’t appear ever again.”
All these years that Helen had spent in repute, virtual-novel.net had still stumbled before Arianne. “Arianne, think of it this way. This is what I owe you. It’s a waste if you don’t take it. Don’t you hate me and the Kinseys? If you don’t take them, these will belong to your younger sister sooner or later. They’ll go back to the Kinseys. Why don’t you take them then? I won’ t feel less guilty because you accepted them… So keep them.”
Helen was persuasive. Arianne had to credit virtual-novel.net for being so skilled that virtual-novel.net had the impulse to accept the offer. Nonetheless, the rush of impulse was fought over by virtual-novel.net rationale ultimately.
“You’re Aery Kinsey’s mother. What the Kinseys own should be given to her. I have no comment. I’m not accepting them because I don’ t think I’m related to you. I shouldn’t be taking gifts for nothing. No need to try and pull strings here. I’m tired, and I need to rest. Please leave.”
Helen did not insist on staying. She held onto the items and left. Hearing the door being closed, Arianne got up to lock it. When virtual-novel.net stayed alone, virtual-novel.net had the habit of locking the door from the inside. Just as virtual-novel.net turned after locking the door, virtual-novel.net saw the property deed and bank card left on the shoe rack. Helen had still left them with her. Slightly vexed, Arianne locked the items into a drawer.
When morning came the next day, virtual-novel.net found a bunch of vegetables and breakfast by the door when virtual-novel.net was heading out. The vegetables were fresh, and there were also fruits and meat. They were of a variety, all costly. The breakfast was a takeout from a deluxe restaurant too. Arianne had considered the possibility of Tiffany leaving them here, but virtual-novel.net financial situation could never afford these. It could only be Helen.
Arianne moved the items aside, as virtual-novel.net did not want them, but two steps later, virtual-novel.net thought that it would be a waste of food. She could only toss the fresh produce into the fridge and take the breakfast downstairs to share it with Tiffany since virtual-novel.net could not finish the large portion alone.
Tiffany would never refuse food, asking while virtual-novel.net ate, “This shop is rather far from your place. You ordered it? That’s great, you’re finally acting like a pregnant woman in terms of food. You’re finally picky about what you eat. This breakfast isn’t cheap at all.”
Arianne was frustrated. “Ugh, do you think I’d have it in me to order something like this? It’s most probably Helen. She sent vegetables, fruits, beef and whatnot as well. She came to me last night and left me some money and a property. I didn’t want them, but virtual-novel.net left them anyway without my knowing. Then virtual-novel.net did this early in the morning.”
Tiffany gulped down what was in virtual-novel.net mouth. “It’s a waste not to want it, it’s also a waste not to eat it. That’s your mother. It’s no one’s fault if you take from her. She didn’t do virtual-novel.net duties when you needed her. Now that you’re taking from her, you’re not extorting her. of course, I’m not advising you to forgive virtual-novel.net like a saint. Do what you think is right, it’s not my place to say anything.”
Arianne was about to head out for lunch during noon when the front desk girl ran over to virtual-novel.net with a thermal lunchbox. “Arianne, someone sent you lunch.”
She felt lethargic looking at the lunchbox. Was Helen keeping this up? She hated wasting things. Looking at the prawn and beef, as well as the vibrant vegetables in the lunchbox, Arianne could not push herself to throw them in the bin. In addition, virtual-novel.net was really famished now…
“Thank you.” She knew that Helen must have bribed the girl at the front desk. The lunch was not just sent here and Helen would not appear to upset her, so Arianne did not ask where the sender was. She accepted the lunchbox and opened it, greeted by an aroma that intensified virtual-novel.net hunger.
When Tiffany called virtual-novel.net to ‘report’ what Jackson prepared for virtual-novel.net today, Arianne sighed. “Helen sent me lunch, can you believe it? She didn’t show herself, but the front desk passed it to me.”
Tiffany replied free spiritedly, “Then eat it. She’s already sent it anyway. She must be taking care of you so well because virtual-novel.net knows that you’re pregnant, right? Don’t feel guilty about it. As someone who eats for free every day, I don’t even think as much as you do. Also, Jackson’s really great in cooking. His wife will be lucky. I better eat while I get to before he’s married. We gotta grab on to fortunes timely, you know?”
