Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 231

I overheard my dad talking about the kids getting involved in some sort of surveying project, and it took me aback. I couldn't help but ask him about it.

My dad was quick to fill me in, "They're learning about the history of Oldtown Avenue, the size and location of each house, how long each family has been living here…"

"You're having them do this?" I was taken aback, "They're just kids!"

"You're underestimating them," my dad confidently responded. "They're the future, you know, and their brains are capable of far more than you might think. Just wait and see what they come up with!"

"Wow, dad... You really think big!" This really surprised me. I couldn't even begin to imagine what that would look like.

"Just you wait and see!" he said confidently. "They won't disappoint you. They're already equipped for this. After all, Oldtown Avenue is their future too, they might as well start getting to know every inch of it now. They'll be the ones to continue its story!"

My dad's words got me cheer up. I couldn't wait to fly back to Silverdale City to see how my kids were doing.

"By the way, dad, I might bring another kid back with me - Fidelia Dawson. Do you remember her?" I felt the need to give my dad a heads up, not because I was afraid he wouldn't accept her, but to prepare myself.

"Seems familiar. The quiet, well-behaved one from their oldest son, right?" My dad's memory was always good.

"That's right, you remember correctly. I ran into Camilla today, and she told me that Fidelia is often alone at home and feels lonely. I mentioned Silverdale City, and she seemed okay with the idea. She's a good woman, doesn't get along with the Dawsons, and can’t look after Fidelia. She's been having some health issues lately, and I feel sorry for her," I explained.

"Well, bring her along then. The vacation has just started! It's good for the kids to spend time together. They're family after all. They're the ones who will inherit this world, so the more relatives, the better."
