“All the residents here are rich, aren’t they?” Charity replied with a laugh.
“That’s true.”
Max then dropped the subject.
Charity did not mind whether she had a neighbor or not. As a public figure, she hardly interacted with her neighbors, so whoever lived next door did not matter to her.
After her confinement period, she returned to the office to work.
She never used to have many goals for making money, but now she wanted to make more money for her child to spend.
Regardless of whether her child would turn out promising in the future, he would not need to suffer if she made more money.
In the evening, when her car arrived at the gate of her villa, there was a big lorry parked at the two-story villa next door, and a mover was carrying a wheelchair into the house.
Charity frowned, but after reversing her car into the porch, she headed to the garden.
While carrying Cal, Larissa was chatting with Aunty Lorrie and Aunty Queenie and watching the sunset.
“Mom, our new neighbor has moved in so soon, huh?” Charity asked while carrying Cal over.
“Yeah. I heard the house has been sold.” Larissa said with a smile, “The environment and property management here are great, so there’s no need to worry about not being able to sell the house.”
“Do you know who the new owner is?” Charity asked out of curiosity, which was unusual.
“I haven’t seen the owner.” Larissa shook her head. “However, it’s best they don’t come and interact with me because I don’t know what to say to those rich people. They might laugh at me for being a countrywoman.”
Aunty Lorrie teased Larissa, “Your daughter has done a great job, and her friends are all rich. Why are you belittling yourself?”
“I’m used to interacting with the poor all my life.” Larissa said with a sigh, “When I just came to Canberra, I didn’t know what to do with myself. If it weren’t for the fact that I had to take care of my child, I would rather live in my hometown. I would feel much more comfortable that way.”
