The More the Merrier novel Chapter 637

Chapter 637 A New House For Mary

Everyone could see how reluctant Mary and Tim were to part with the house.

Regardless of how shabby it was, it was their home.

Mary walked around the other rooms as well, and she would reach out to straighten anything that seemed to have fallen out of its place. Tim kept close by her the entire time.

Arissa and the rest helped tidied up the spots that were too messy.

At the end of it all, Mary stood in the courtyard and let her eyes drift across the place—the last look at her home.

When Benjamin noticed their eyes reddening, he said, “Grandaunt, you can always come back here for a visit whenever you miss it. Once you’re feeling better, you can come back here to stay for a period of time every year.”

Touched by his words, Mary whispered, “Okay.”

When Kingsley and Shaun took in their surroundings, as well as Mary and Tim’s reluctance to leave, a bitter smile emerged on their lips.

Anyone would feel nostalgia and the reluctance to part with places they lived in.

It was especially so for those who rarely left home; they would feel a stronger yearning for their homes.

Arissa then used her phone to take a few photos of the place and saved them in the gallery. If Mary and Tim missed their home, they would then be able to see it with the photos.

“Tim, ask Mr. Seth to come here,” Mary said to Tim.

“Okay!”

Arissa then watched as Tim ran out of the house.

No one knew what Mary was about to do.

“Give me another moment. I need to tell my family about our departure,” Mary explained to them.

Arissa nodded and brought the kettle over. “Grandaunt, have some water.”

“Thank you.”

As Mary looked around her house, she sighed and commented, “I wonder when I’ll be back again. Someone has got to clean up the place and pay respect to James.”

Hearing her words made a wave of sorrow wash over Arissa. She knew that traditions like those were important to those who grew up in the village.

That was a sign of respect to the deceased.

“Grandaunt, we can come back for a visit during the holidays,” Arissa said to Mary. It was impossible to return every month, but it was not difficult to return during the holidays.
