After a day's rest, Renee and Luke had to leave. Vera was very reluctant to part with them.
"Little girl, I'm alone again after you leave."
"Granny, I will come back to see you. Please don't forget me." Renee really liked this quiet small village.
Staying long in the big city, citizens would usually like such a village. There was fresh air, green mountains, and chirping birds. Lingering in the mountains, Renee was relaxed.
"Keep your promise, little girl. Remember my phone number, and I'll call you when I miss you."
"I will. Take care of yourself, granny." Renee held her hand tightly.
Johan's wife passed away early, and Carmen had never shown Renee her mother. In Renee's life, she had seldom closely interacted with the seniors in her family.
Vera left Renee a deep impression so that she began to consider spending more time accompanying her family members.
"Well, just go, little girl. Don't make him wait for too long.”
"Goodbye, granny. Oh, don't forget to check the under of the pillow." Renee said while turning around. "I will miss you, granny."
"Take good care of yourself!” Vera saw Renee off with a pair of watery eyes.
After Renee and Luke going far away, she went into the room to see what was under the pillow. There was a stack of money, which Luke gave Renee when they were apart.
Renee had received special education here, and she was grateful. She knew that village people were kind and would not easily accept other's gift, so she had to use this way to express thank.
Seeing the 10,000 yuan, Vera nearly burst into tears. "Silly Renee."
Happiness filled with the way home. With Luke’s company, Renee was secure. They took the journey as a road trip, when they saw beautiful scenery or interesting attractions, they would stop to visit them.
Although not so rich as Vaughn, Luke had savings nearly ten million yuan.
Amiyah was his aunt and his only family member. He had no parents nor a wife. However, because wandering on the sea all year long, he had no way to spend the money. With time passing, a big saving was accumulated.
Renee thought that Luke must be poor to live a wandering life, so she had been tried to save money for him.
For instance, choosing a hotel. Considering Renee was born rich and she was delicate and may need a comfortable room, Luke always picked the high-end big hotels.
Unlike Luke, he could bear the poor hotel priced at tens of yuan. Renee hurriedly stopped him, "This hotel is too costly, let's change another one."
"Cheap hotels are poor. Didn't you say the rooms on the ship were too damp? Let's try the bright and spacious ones."
"But...They’re expensive. Don't waste the money." Renee used to be picky on hotels and would never choose anyone non-five-star. What a surprise, she complained about the hotel's price this time!
"Don't be afraid, I can afford it." Luke took her in. Renee didn’t have an ID, so she waited aside until Luke finished the check- in procedure, and they went together to the room.
Being trapped on the ship for a month, followed by staying in the mountains for days. Suddenly returning to normal life, Renee was as if still living in a dream.
"Feeling good?"
This room cost 688 yuan per night, and it had a fantastic condition with a modern- style design. Renee was familiar yet strange with such an environment.
"Yeah...It's so great."
