Chapter 557 Reaching QY Island (Part Two) (1/2)

”I am not sure...” she answered unhappily. ”But I am his teacher. Why can't I?” she added.

”Teachers only do visits. They don't just move into their students' house.” Richie's tone sounded stiff but casual. Hearing this, Shirley wasn't convinced at all.

”If that's the case, how come Antonio is living in the villa?” she asked in annoyance.

”He is there to protect our grandson,” he replied, starting to get upset by her persistence. There was resignation in his tone.

Still not being able to give up her idea, Shirley asked again, ”If we go there too, won't Mark be better protected?”

By this time, Richie finished correcting the last assignment. He turned to look at Shirley. In a tone of surrender, shaking his head, he said affectionately, ”If you really want to go, we can go right away.”

Putting her coffee mug down, Shirley retorted, ”You know I am all talk.”

A smile flitted across his eyes. He stood up and walked over to Shirley. ”It's a fine day. How about a walk?”

Immediately, she nodded and walked out of the room with Richie, arm in arm. Shirley's thoughts went about their children as they strolled in the garden of the hotel. They had all settled down and found their loved ones. Yes, there were times when things weren't perfect, but as parents, all she and Richie wished for their kids was safety and happiness.

After a few steps, she started talking about how Mark was performing in the kindergarten. Looking at her, he was filled with contentment. They had been through so much. Now that they were together, enjoying each other's company in a happy, calm life, what else could he ask for?

The nights on QY Island were so beautiful and the living there seemed so comfortable. During evening, the streets were busy. Night market stalls suddenly popped out and spontaneous entertaining activities could also be seen. The beach was full of fun, especially after Grand Night Casino had opened nearby. In addition to this festive aura, an amusement park, covering an area of nearly a thousand hectares, was under construction next to the casino. This would definitely increase the happenings on the island.

During that time, the beach was crowded with frolicking people. In the moonlight, the white beach seemed to have become softer. Brian and Molly were taking a walk after dinner. She was wearing flip-flop sandals, which didn't seem to be much of a wise choice. Today, instead of wearing suits, Brian was wearing a plain T-shirt paired with casual pants. He was wearing flip-flop sandals too. But unlike Molly, walking on the beach wearing sandals didn't seem to bother him at all.
