They finally arrived in the rented place where Sarah Harding and her children live. It was just a small wooden house erected in a small lot surrounded by flowering plants.
Sir Nicholas inspected the area. The house was tiny with a big acacia tree growing in the corner - giving the house a nice shade. It was at least situated in a clean environment, in a sleepy neighborhood. He was feeling relieved a bit that his grandchildren didn't live in dirty surroundings.
Sarah Harding opened the door. "Please come inside," she told the guest.
Sir Nicholas went inside to check the house. It was clean but lacking with furniture. He settled himself on the wooden chair.
The boy Nicholas went to his grandfather's side.
Sir Nicholas picked up the boy and placed him on his lap.
Sarah put baby Nikka in a wooden crave.
"How many months you have not paid the rent?" Sir Nicholas asked.
"Two months, Sir," replied Sarah shyly.
Sir Nicholas took out his wallet from the pocket of his trouser and produced paper bills. "Here, pay the two months rent and keep the change," he said.
Sarah accepted the money wide-eyed.
"Where does the owner of this house live?" he asked.
"He's living in the same area, ten houses from here," she replied.
"Okay, leave now and pay the rent and tell the owner, you are going to vacate this place today," he said.
"Huh?" Sarah's eyes widened in surprise. "B-but Sir, the children and I... have no other home to go to..." she protested.
Sir Nicholas sighed, he understood very well the woman's fear. "No need to worry about rent from now on. I will bring you and the kids to one of my properties. You will live there without worrying about the monthly rental. I will provide food and shelter for you and the kids. You don't have to worry about money anymore, all you have to do is take care of my grandchildren, be the best mother to them, and I will take care of the rest. I promise to take care of you and my grandchildren for life, but I can't persuade my son to marry you. Now you have to choose... you will stay here and worry about everything...or stay in my property, and you don't have to worry about a single thing... please choose wisely..." he said.
Sarah was silent for a moment, debating on what to do. Honestly, she was fed up with her life in poverty. It's already hard that she was taking care of two kids, at the same time worrying about finding daily food sustenance for them, and worst the monthly rental for the house is making her crazy. Then if her children got sick, she can't even buy medicine because she has no money!
She tired sick of poverty! She doesn't like to be tortured emotionally and mentally every day. She can't survive like this!
She needs to breathe...
Now that it comes to this...after Cooper abandoned them... he can no longer blame her for taking the initiative to end her misery. After all, it's the future of their children that is at stake for her. She will fight for her children's future! And now that the golden opportunity presented itself in front of her, she would be stupid not to grab it!
"Yes, I will accept your offer, Sir! The children and I are willing to live in your property," Sarah said brightly.
Sir Nicholas was pleased with her decision.
"Good! Now you go to the owner's house and pay the rent. Then return here and pack your things. I will bring you to my property after you are done packing. I will assign two servants to help you around the house. It's a bit bigger than these, it's a two-story bungalow house and has five rooms on the second floor and also has a servants room on the first floor. There is a wide lawn outside the house for the children to play and roam around. I'm sure you will like it there..." he paused for a moment to catch his breath and then continue.
"Because you are willing to follow my order, and for being a good mother to my grandchildren, I will reward you greatly. I will transfer the rights of that property to your name. As for the children, you don't have to worry about their future because they will inherit some of my fortunes and I will send them to the best school, they will carry my family name. Their bright future is already guaranteed the moment you leave this place," he said for good measure.
Sarah was speechless...
Tears of happiness sprang in her eyes. It's hard to believe that her life was forever changed in just a few hours! Now she will become a proud owner of a property under her name. She will live in a big house with a big lawn, accompanied by two servants and she doesn't have to worry about money and her children's future anymore! Oh my, it feels like it's a dream come true!
She was completely blown away by extreme happiness! It's all too much to handle!
