Karl returned to the Jobson's at night.
Overjoyed by the news that they planned to get marriage registration, Betty gave Karl a sum of money.
She also told them to buy an apartment, because she didn't think they should live in a rented place after they get married!
It came to Ann as a surprise when Karl told her Betty had given them some money to buy a new apartment.
"Where did Betty get so much money? We can't take it!"
Betty was just a retired primary school teacher. Although she had a pension, she still couldn't afford a house in the River City!
Karl didn't think that much. "Don't underestimate my mother. She worked as a primary school teacher, but she saved a fortune. I should at least give you a real home if I want to marry you. We can repay her kindness in the future!"
Even though Karl was brought up in a single-parent family, Karl rarely worried about money.
Therefore, he didn't feel strange when Betty took out so much money.
After a moment of silence, Ann said firmly, "Then we'll just use her money as a down payment and pay off the mortgage by ourselves."
Karl agreed when he saw how determined she was.
The next day was the weekend.
They had made an appointment with a salesperson before, so they took Nikki with them and went to see the apartment.
Knowing that they would live in the house as couples, the salesman worked harder to make recommendations.
The salesperson failed to brainwash Ann. She had her own ideas about everything, from the coverage to the layout. And she would ask Karl for advice sometimes.
The sales gave a wry smile because he could tell that Ann had done a lot of work in selecting a house. He didn't have any chance to give them advice.
Karl was overjoyed when he saw Ann carefully planning for their future.
Although he was holding Nikki in his arms, he managed to reach out a hand to hug Ann and kiss her.
When Karl and Ann heard this, their faces suddenly stiffened.
Karl looked down at Nikki. "Nikki, what did you say?"
Seeing Karl slightly changed expression, Nikki confusingly blinked big eyes. She didn't know if she had said something wrong, but she still answered.
"Daddy didn't answer your phone. Mommy was sick. Mommy felt bad. He is a good man because he took Mommy to the hospital to see a doctor...."
Hearing Nikki's words, Ann tried her best to recall that day. Karl also remembered something.
Ann once called him, and her voice sounded weird but at that time...
Karl pursed his lips tightly. Looking at Ann standing not far away, he felt a little depressed.
Phillip really liked Ann?
The jealousy and anger in Karl's heart continued to spiral. However, he couldn't blame Ann because it was not her fault.
