Chapter 125: Moving to New York
Arnold left with his family the next day after his farewell show. He had already completed the deal of buying a house somewhere in New York City and had ensured the safety of his mother and sisters in the place.
Mia, who is a wealthy young businesswoman, was the one who had urged Arnold to buy a house in New York City. He even asked them to come to her mansion so their safety could be more guaranteed, but Arnold rejected the offer, believing that he was a man of himself and wouldn't take advantage of her property until their marriage.
Mia never liked the decision, but she had no choice but to accept it. At least, it wasn't as if he was still a poor lad like he was months ago, he could cater for his financial needs now, and she knew it.
Although she was only being caring and kind, Arnold appreciated it.
Mark and Lila saw the family in the garage before they left the Capside Centre building. Manager Jack Harris had followed them as well...
Even Karl.
Before they left, there was a short heartfelt conversation that sparked both laughs and sadistic silence, but it was all good.
Arnold entered his Range Rover Evoque with his family, and with a rush, the car zoomed off into the bustling streets, disappearing after a few moments.
"It's just like a dream, brother. You made it!" Audrey said while they made their way through the highway to the airport.
Arnold only laughed slightly and muttered.
"Yeah, it's kinda unbelievable... In reality, it's believable, right?" He smiled and asked.
"Yes, it's happening. Honestly, I never thought I could see such a day," Audrey responded.
She was sitting in the front seat of the car, while Anna and Eva sat at the back but reacted expressionlessly to the conversation between the two in front.
"Hard work never betrays. Determination is a success," Anna said after noticing their conversation.
"Yes, Mom, I never believed that some months ago, but one thing made me believe," Arnold nodded and said.
"What? What is that?" His mother threw a glance.
"It's hope. Hope made me believe that hard work pays," Arnold decided to lie to them.
"Of course, Hard work works with hope, then you can achieve your dreams with both. If you don't have hope while you work hard, you could lose the motivation to keep pushing... My father always told me that when I was a teen," Anna said.
"Hmmm, then I should keep working hard to become a Lawyer someday... A Prosecutor specifically," Audrey hesitated and said.
All this while, Eva was only listening to their conversation and was silent, but after Audrey's statement, she decided to say something.
"I will become a Celebrity someday, hehe."
The three turned to look at her after that statement, their eyes glowed complicatedly with a mix of surprise.
"What celebrity, Eva? What the f**k are you saying?" Audrey asked.
"I love singing and dancing... I would like to be famous like Beyonce and Cardi B back in 2023," Eva smiled as she spoke.
Arnold only nodded at that time mad continued driving, focusing.
"Whatever you to become doesn't matter. As far as it's good, you only need hard work and determination to achieve it," Anna said with a smile and patted Eva's head.
She wanted the best for her children and would welcome any decision they made, as far as it wasn't a crime or anything that wouldn't favor them. That's why Arnold loved his mother so much.
She had always stood by him in his hard days when trying to enter Rising Impact University. When no one was there to help, she was always by his side, even though she was financially incapable of assisting him.
For that, he would always love his mother to the fullest, and make her enjoy the fruits of her labor while she is still alive.
She is 59 already... Although she wasn't old... She still needed his care to the fullest.
When they arrived at the airport, Arnold took his car to a cargo plane transport to get it to New York City before they arrived. He then took a flight with his family on a passenger airplane and landed in New York City within a few hours.
After they arrived at the airport, they journeyed into the city and to their newly bought house. It was a very busy day in the busiest city in the world, but it made little to no distraction to Arnold and his family, who literally enjoyed the journey to the great city.
When they got to the estate where his new house was located, they were all stunned by the surprise they saw.
"Come on, mother. Come on girls."
That was Mia.
Surprisingly, Mia arrived at the house before Arnold and their family arrived. Arnold remembered her asking for a spare key for the house, but he didn't think that she could leave the university just to surprise them.
The surprise?
Mia already arrived and made dinner for the family, regardless of the fact that she was a rich lass from a prominent family.
Most rich kids would never have such an urge to do such a thing, but it was certain that Mai was a wonderful person. It wasn't just because of her love for Arnold, she had morals to show off.
"I prepared dinner for us, please let's go to the dining to eat," Mia smiled at them.
Arnold had been having a surprised look on his face, but his sisters and mother weren't.
In fact, they were happy.
The looks on their faces could show it.
Without much hesitation, Anna and her daughters approached the dining to have dinner. It was clear that they were really hungry after the long journey from Chicago, so there was no reason for them to hesitate.
"Common, don't stand there and stare, babe."
This was what Mia said to Arnold after noticing him standing behind, amazed.
Shaking his head and letting out a smile, Arnold walked over to the dining to have dinner.
After all, it was pasta!
