"Huh?" Miranda was a little surprised, "Where... is it?"
"Australia."
"Australia? Why are we going there?"
Miranda had worked in the Bais for many years, and she lived in a house she rented. She had no house in A city, but she had one in her hometown. However, she didn't understand why Isaac suddenly asked her to go aboard.
"The air there is very fresh and that is a place suitable for living. I've discussed with... Adele about this. She also agreed."
"Isaac." Miranda thought for a moment and said, "I've lived at home for so long. I am not very cultured and I don't even know how to speak English. If I go there..." She waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I won't go there. It's so far away. What if I want to see you?"
"Don't worry. The house is in a chunk of ethnic Chinese ghetto. Your life won't be inconvenient. I'll arrange for some people to take care of you. When we finish all the things here, we'll go there, too."
Of course, he knew that Australia was far away, but that was the only way to prevent Maxwell from finding trouble with Miranda. He did many things these days. He asked his friends for help and changed her name. She would conceal her real name when she arrived in Australia. Although he did not want to do this, he had to do so.
Only when Miranda lived a good life could he be able to do what he wanted without any worry.
"Can't I just live here?" Miranda still didn't want to go aboard, "Even if I don't live here, I can go back to my hometown."
She really didn't want to go to a country where she had only seen on TV all of a sudden. What's the point of living aboard? How could a foreign country be compared with her motherland?
"Mom, didn't I explain to you just now? Adele also agreed. At that time, we... will go there. It won't be long."
"No!" Miranda thought for a moment and said, "Isaac, are you hiding something from me? You not only want me to go abroad, but you also say that you and Adele will also go abroad. Didn't you say that Adele is at work and has gone abroad for further study? Your work and your home are also here. Why will you live aboard?" Although she was simple and honest, she was not stupid.
"No, mom." Isaac smiled and said, "I'm just a little tired of living here. And, you know, I'm not interested in being a businessman. I'm very depressed in the Bais. It's not easy for me to get married to Adele. I just want to live with you and have a home that really belongs to me. Mom, can you understand me?"
Listening to these words, and thinking about his life over the years, Miranda was moved, "I know." She frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Since you and Adele want me to do this, I'll do as you wish." As Adele's mother, she didn't mind giving in for them. As long as they could be happy, that was enough.
Isaac breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay. Thank you, mom."
"You don't need to thank me. I'll be satisfied as long as you're fine. But how about your mother? Will she go there?"
Hearing this, Isaac's eyes darkened, but he hid his sadness soon, "Yeah, she will go there, too. After all, she only has me now. But she won't go there now. She... is in poor health recently, and she can't go on a long journey."
"Well, that's all right." Miranda nodded, "Then I'll go with your mom. I can take care of her here by the way."
"No! Mom, you've been working hard for so long. How can I let you look after her? Besides, she has a professional nurse to take care of her. Don't worry."
Miranda looked at him suspiciously and saw that he was still smiling gently. Then she asked, "So, do you mean that you want me to leave first?"
"Yes."
"When?"
