Chapter 195
(Author’s POV)
Myra was grateful for whatever the Miracle’s have done for her over the years. She started with showing gratitude towards them.
“Myra what are you~ You are our family, our precious daughter. We would do anything for you, baby. What are you bringing all this up? Are you, do you want to move out completely and cut contact or something?” William said, his voice stern. “Let me tell you. You have never been a burden to us. You are our eldest child and will always be p>
Wendy had a panicked look etched on her face, “Sis, are you really moving out? Have we done something p>
“No, no, no. Hang on, hang on. I have no intention of going no contact with any of you. You are my precious family. Wends, don’t cry. Uhhh~ *sigh* this is not what I meant. I want to say, I love you guys with all my heart and soul,” Myra clarified. Her words have been misunderstood by them.
She continued, “Now to the real issue. Actually I got an offer from Red Stone University. There is a scholarship program and one of the professor’s has recommended me for that. He wants me to join that college p>
William, Sandra and Wendy were somewhat speechless to say anything. Wendy was the first one to react, “RED STONE? What the F~, I mean, Woah, sis. That university with all the elite and wealthy students? Where getting an admission is like a lottery? A jackpot?” Her voice was a bit shrill. She couldn’t contain her excitement.
“Aaaa~ yes, that’s right. I am talking about that Red Stone University. Although, I haven’t given them any reply yet,” Myra sighed as she said this.
“Why? You should totally grab the opportunity, Myra?” Sandra urged her.
“But~… I don’t want to leave you guys here and go to a different country alone,” she mumbled, closed her eyes, ’Here goes nothing p>
“You cannot do that because of us. Myra, it is a rare opportunity. Just go for it. We don’t want us to become your shackles. We want you to fly high,” William’s heartfelt words touched Myra deeply. “Should we just move with you.” He commented playfully.
“I would love that. If you all could move to Esteria with me, that would be perfect,” Myra muttered with a deadpan expression.
“I was just joking princess. How can we do that?” William shrugged the idea off.
“Dad, I heard everything,” Myra spoke. “What your colleague George said and I even heard you and mom talking last night. I know everything about your job and how they are forcing you to retire early,” Myra words stunned them all.
“You~ you you know everyt~hing,” Sandra fumbled with her words.
“Mom, Dad. What is sis talking about? Why do all of this sound foreign to me? Early retirement? Your job?” Wendy’s eyes were narrowed. Her mind was full of confusion.
William sighed loudly and gazed at his wife. Sandra nodded back and then he started, “Now, that you already know. I won’t keep anything from you, Myra, Wendy. It is true that my employer wants me to take early retirement. But both of you don’t have to be so concerned about it. I have planned everything,” he tried to sound cheerful.
“Yes, with all the funds and money William will get from retiring, we are thinking of opening up a convenience store or maybe a cloud kitchen service. We have a lot of options. You both should just focus on your studies and other things. We will manage other things,” Sandra added.
Myra said in a soft voice, “Mom, Dad, but~ I have talked about it to the university and arranged everything for you guys. The school is going to provide me with accommodation off campus and I am allowed bring my family with me. My scholarship money will be enough for my as well as Wendy’s high school completion. I want to take care of you guys, just like you have done for me. I just need your approval p>
William and Sandra looked at each other and were about to say something when Wendy interrupted, her voice was a bit high pitched, “Are you serious? No~ I don’t agree. I am sorry sister. But I DO NOT AGREE. I don’t want to move from Damona. I have my school here, my friends here, MY LIFE IS HERE, in Damona.” She got up and stomped off. Soon they heard Wendy slamming her room’s door.
Her reaction made Myra speechless as well as guilty. She knew the one who would be most affected by this move would be her sister, Wendy.
She was a teenager who loved her friends and school. Her whole life she hasn’t left Damona even once. So, it would be difficult for her to even think about that.
Myra got up from here place and said, “Mom~ Dad~, please think about it. I really want all of us to move from here. Whatever you both want to do, we can do that in Esteria. As for Wendy, I will talk to her. Please, give it a thought, hmm,” saying this, she walked upstairs to Wendy’s room.
She could clearly hear Wendy’s heart wrenching sobs from outside her room. She gulped hard trying to keep her emotions in check. If this move wasn’t necessary, Myra would have never even mentioned such a thing. She didn’t have much time left. Garry said he would send the contract within two days, so she needed to convince her family somehow.
Taking a deep breath, she knocked on Wendy’s door softly, “Wends, can we just talk for a bit p>
Wendy stopped crying but did not gave Myra any reply. She sniffed and looked at the door with a complicated expression.
“Wends, I know you are hurt by my words. But please, I really need to talk to you. PLEASE WENDY,” Myra choked a little. Her voice had a slight tremor in it.
After a long pause, Myra was about to return to her room when Wendy’s door clicked open.
