“Homesick?!”
Claire was completely stunned and confused by Elaine’s sudden outburst, and she asked inexplicably, “Mom, Dad is still in South Korea, and Charlie and I are in the United States. How can you be feeling homesick?”
Elaine had an embarrassed expression as she said, “I’m just thinking of Aurous Hill. It is indeed a little difficult to adapt, and it feels a little uncomfortable to live in a foreign country. It seems that Aurous Hill is still the best for me. Why don’t you take a look and see when there’s a flight back to Aurous Hill, and you can book a ticket for me to go back, then.”
Claire looked at Elaine in astonishment and blurted out, “Mom, didn’t you say that you could not sleep because you missed us and couldn’t stand being alone at home in such a big house? Isn’t that the reason why you came to the United States to find us? It’s only been a few days, yet you already want to go back to Aurous Hill? Wouldn’t you still be alone when you go back to Aurous Hill? Wouldn’t you still be living in the villa at Thompson First alone? What if you feel lonely again? Are you going to fly to the United States again, then?”
Elaine hurriedly said, “Oh, I truly did miss you so much that I could not sleep at first, but aren’t I already here to see you? I’m already at ease after seeing you, and I can naturally go back now.”
Elaine would never tell her silly daughter that the reason why she had come to the United States to look for her and Charlie was not because she had truly missed them or felt lonely. It was solely because she had accidentally spent all of her money!
Since she was living in a big villa in Thompson First, without money, even eating was a problem for her.
Although the Cullinan that was parked in the courtyard looked extremely domineering, what was the point if she did not even have money for fuel?
However, the situation was different now!
Charlie had actually given her another identical Emerald Goddess Dream necklace!
What did this mean?
