I Walked Away Seven Years Too Late But Right on Time novel Chapter 210

Watching Gavin's parents disappear through the security checkpoint, Sophie linked her arm through Gavin's and sighed softly. "Your parents are incredible people."

"From now on, they're your parents, too."

Gavin placed a hand over hers, his voice tender. "And your mother is my mother."

Thinking about their upcoming wedding next June, Sophie couldn't help but smile.

That night, Sarah pulled out the bank card Harold had left behind and handed it to Sophie. "Use this as a renovation fund for the new house. I checked the balance today—there's over a hundred thousand dollars on it."

Sophie took the card, looked at it, and pressed it firmly back into her mother's hands.

"Mom, I have my corporate dividends coming in. This money is his compensation to you. You earned it. Use it to do something you actually want to do. Whatever it is, I support you."

Sarah looked down, thinking for a moment before speaking. "I'd really love to travel. I've punished myself for enough years. I want to go see the world."

"I support that a million percent. The world is huge, Mom. You really should go see it."

Sophie threw her arms around her mother. Seeing Sarah finally let go of the past and stop living in guilt was the greatest gift she could ask for.

A week later, Sarah shared her travel plans with Jason Jenkins, telling him she'd hit the road as soon as he found a new housekeeper.

Jason immediately went to Gwen with a new proposition: "You and George should just move in with us. We can all take care of each other."

George's recovery had been phenomenal. In less than three months, he was walking independently and no longer needed a physical therapist. Combining the two households meant they only needed to hire one person to help with chores.

"Is this a proposal?" Gwen raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. A very serious one." Jason pulled a ring box from his pocket and dropped to one knee.

Before Jason could even ask the question, Gwen blurted out, "I do."

A man could fake devotion for a day, maybe a week. But whenever Jason wasn't traveling for business, he was at her house every single day, and he had kept that routine up flawlessly for two solid months.

Even George had been constantly nudging her. "What are you being so stubborn for? Lock this guy down and make him my son-in-law already. If you don't, I'll adopt him myself!"

George had nearly slipped and said, "If you don't, I'll marry him."

"Good men are hard to find. You miss this boat, there won't be another one."
