Dad also smiled happily and said, "Hazel is so capable and will definitely make a lot of money. We've got an amazing future ahead of us!"

Mom put down her flatware, found several old mattresses from the wardrobe, and laid them on the floor in the living room.

She still had that look on her face and explained, "Hazel, you know that Reid is taking the SAT this year, so your dad and I have decided to turn your bedroom into his study. Tonight, you'll sleep on the floor for one night, and anyway, you will start working on Monday."

I looked around this two-story brightly lit house with stylish decorations.

If I remembered correctly, I had saved 33,000 dollars in my first year of work and used it all to build this new house.

In my second year of work, I took out a loan to buy a large flat in the city.

When Reid first came to my flat, his desire was undisguised in his eyes.

He was very straightforward and turned to ask our parents, "Hazel will get married sooner or later. Logically speaking, the house should be bought by her husband. Is it too much to ask that I'll keep this flat after getting married?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mom and Dad nod in agreement.
