Chapter 57: Move Out

After much convincing on their part, Michelle finally agreed to live in the Mills' house for a few days,
which delighted David and Angie immeasurably.

Angie had long been looking forward to living a happy life with her granddaughter and now her wish
had finally started to come true.

"Chelle, what about the house you lived in before?" Claire asked, as she remembered that Michelle
had a duplex apartment bought by Gerard.

Of course, Claire hoped that Michelle would live with the Mills family for as long as possible or until she
got married again in the future.

She would do everything that she could to make Michelle feel at home.

After downing the last gulp of milk, Michelle set down her glass and replied, "Aunt Claire, Gerard has
already given me that house so I can do whatever I want with it.Besides, he has never lived there and
rarely visited, so I will simply pack up a few of my things and move them here."

"Chelle, are you not considering to sell that house and move out completely? After all, we will be
worried about you if you'd continue living in such a big house alone!"

Claire suggested, in an attempt to make Michelle stay with them permanently.Then she turned to look
at Elliot as if to ask for support about her plan.

Elliot understood what his wife was implying.He also hoped that Michelle would stay with the Mills
family not just for a few short days.

"Chelle, your aunt is right.With your job, you're always working overtime and going home late.We don't
know if you still have the energy to cook a proper meal.How could we not worry about you and your
health? If you move here, we can take care of you day and night.Besides, your grandparents are old



and they want to have as much time as they can with you.Suppose that is enough reason to sell the
house, isn't it?" he asked her lengthily.

"Well..."

Michelle quipped as she squirmed in her seat out of sheer discomfort.She was reluctant to sell that
house because she exerted all her efforts to design the interior and purchase the furniture.

Everything inside was the fruit of her labor and even a single light bulb was chosen for a specific
purpose.

Although she lived there alone, it was something she could claim as her own after having an awful
experience with the Greenwoods.

Noticing the obvious hesitation on Michelle's face, David tried to persuade her some more, "Chelle,
your grandma is old and in poor health.Your moving back here would bring her joy more than anything
else.I'm sure you want her to have a longer and happier life, right?"

After considering her options for a few silent moments, Michelle finally made up her mind.

"The house can't be sold for the time being, but I can ask the property management to have it
arranged.I'll pack up some daily necessities and clothes and stay here for a few days or weeks," she
declared.

"Moore, you need to accompany Chelle with her errands today.Pack a few clothes but don't bother with
the daily necessities.We can buy brand new ones, " David instructed with finality. He actually wished
that Michelle wouldn't even go back to that place, for he was willing to buy everything new for her.

"Chelle, it's meaningless to keep that house from my point of view.Don't you think it's ridiculous to keep
you and Gerard's honeymoon house?" Moore asked rather brusquely.



He agreed with the others’ suggestion to sell the house.

After all, Michelle and Gerard had nothing to do with each other now.

Why did she have to keep something that still tethered her to him? Once something was finished, all
other ties must be cut off completely.

Besides, the Mills family was undeniably wealthy and they would be able to provide for Michelle without
an ounce of difficulty.

Michelle just shook her head at Moore's question.

Instead of answering, she remembered her conversation with George last night and used it to change
the topic.

"Moore, does your company have a cooperative relationship with the Roberts Enterprise?" she asked
in return.

"Kind of.Is there something I have to know?"

It was rare for Michelle to ask Moore about his work.

The Mills family had always been a powerful figure in politics, but Moore's present generation didn't
follow the footsteps of the elders.

Much to their chagrin, the younger ones chose a different path and delved in business instead.

After all, they had independent thoughts that could not be swayed no matter how much the elders
fought to do so.
