Chapter 7: A robber and a thief.
Lazily, Sunshine said in a measured deliberate voice that was calm, "Well, I suppose I could put off the divorce for now and can even repair him back to health."
She picked up a watermelon slice and sniffed it. The last time she had eaten one, it cost three thousand dollars, and it was as small as a baby’s head. That was in the third year of the apocalypse.
Suni’s words relieved everyone, especially her husband’s parents, but it was still too early to celebrate as they could sense the hesitation in her voice. There was a "but" coming.
"Do you think that Hades is a car that you can just repair since you are a mechanical engineer? Even his doctors said that he is going to be like that forever. Nails and glue will not patch him back together." Fifi snorted, rolling her eyes.
"I don’t think she intends to use nails and glue." Lisha laughed.
"What matters is that she willing to care for Hades and the children." Warren said.
Twin sighs escaped the Quinn couple as their gazes collided. Indeed, what mattered was that she was going to care for Hades and she was not divorcing.
"I knew that she was the right choice." Rori breathed into her husband’s ear before returning her attention to Suni. "My darling girl, for what you have just said I am going to give you a black limitless card which you can use at your convince to buy anything you want. Also, as the first daughter-in-law and mistress of the house you get to have the family jewels that are passed down to the main wife. When you have a baby in future, I will hand you all of my private collections, they are worth a lot of money" Rori said, barely containing her happiness.
Sunshine’s lips curled upwards as maids lined up, ten of them, presenting very expensive jewelry that was worth a lot of money.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." She snatched the black card out of Rori’s hands quickly. The lottery ticket was nothing compared to this.
"Err...let me give you something as well." Richard gave her a bank card, but he did not say how much was in it. "Please take care of my son."
