After the official seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau fell, two red marriage certificates were handed to the two people.
The staff’s expression was festive, “Congratulations to both of you, I hope you will have a baby soon.”
“Already have a daughter.”
Amelia Bright smiled like a spring breeze, and Farren Austin next to her glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, took out the long-prepared wedding candy and handed it over, “Thank you anyway.”
“There are daughters, then I wish to have both children, and a son to make a good word.”
“With your kind words.”
Two people in the Civil Affairs Bureau after the wedding candy, hand in hand out of the hall, as if the previous period of gloomy time are in the moment out of the disappearance of the two, the sun is warm, micro points and warm, we are back to the best of times.
In fact, in Amelia Bright’s mind, this is where she and Farren Austin really got married.
Not as a substitute for anyone, but as her own soul, willingly married to the man in front of her.
“Farren.”
“Hmm?”
Seeing her suddenly stop in her tracks, Farren Austin looked back with a gentle expression, “What’s wrong?”
She would love to tell him everything at this time, but he has a bit more to deal with these days, and it’s better to leave this for later.
She smiled at the thought of
“Nothing, let’s go, aren’t we going to pick up Mom?”
Because of the special status, the internal investigation of the military district blocked the file, Calla Moon’s case is only now officially completed, Erlina Lee’s original sentence was also reduced to the end of the sentence, today is the day of release from prison.
No matter what she has done, she is always Farren Austin’s mother, the woman who gave birth to him and raised him, so Amelia Bright still respects her in her heart.
In front of Hounslow Women’s Prison, the midday sun is a bit harsh.
“With a creak, a small door opened in the middle of the large iron door for one person to exit, and the guards escorted Erlina Lee out into the wilderness and a tarmac road with no end in sight.
Erlina Lee cut the hair at her temples, in just six months she had aged, her temples were graying, looking at her daughter-in-law who had just gotten out of the car in the distance, she felt that life was ridiculous.
She took so much effort and worked hard for half of her life, and eventually ended up in such a poor state.
“Get in the car mom.”
Amelia Bright pulled open the backseat door, looking calm and measured, not aloof but not overly enthusiastic either.
In fact, this is the normal look, Erlina Lee is not really good to her, to her own son is also just a little, she can do is to maintain a daughter-in-law the most polite and respectful attitude.
Farren Austin didn’t even get out of the car. He’s always had a weak kinship with Erlina Lee, which faded back in the day when she sent him to the military.
The car is driving on the tarmac in the suburbs, the speed is not fast, the scenery outside the window is receding a little, the carriage is very quiet, no one is talking.
After a long time, it was Amelia Bright who broke the ice.
“Mom, we can’t live in our house for the time being. Farren and I have found an apartment for you downtown, so you can stay there for now and move out later if you have any other suitable place to live.”
The statement that the family house is temporarily uninhabitable is just a nice pretext.
Erlina Lee divorced Steven Austin long ago, the Austin family old house she can never go back.
“Well, I can live anywhere, please,” Erlina Lee’s voice was not as sharp as it once was, but sounded a little husky and heavy at this point.
“No trouble,” smiles Amelia Bright, “it’s the right thing to do.”
After another moment, Erlina Lee asked again, “Is the baby being raised well? What’s the name?”
“Raised quite well, can eat and sleep, called An An, peace of mind.”
“Anon?” Erlina Lee nodded thoughtfully, “It’s quite a catchy name, is it a nickname? Is there a big name?”
“Just call Ann.”
“Wouldn’t it be too atmospheric to call the first name Ann? I think it is better to choose a word according to the Austin family’s family tree …”
Erlina Lee did not finish her words, she saw Farren Austin’s gaze printed in the rearview mirror of the car, some indifferent impatience, as if she was dissatisfied with her talkative in this matter in general, she stopped talking at once.
“Anon is fine too, it’s good to keep it simple.”
She had thought that after her release from prison, there would be no more family members in the world, but fortunately, her eldest son and daughter-in-law are kind by nature.
Why bother talking any more? She figured it out, too.
Amelia Bright, looking at Erlina Lee’s uncomfortable look, felt a bit sorry for her and looked at Farren Austin, “Mom is right, the name Ann is not very atmospheric, Farren, why don’t you think of another name.”
Farren Austin said lightly.
“Anon is just fine, no need to change.”
The symbolism is also good, peace and quiet.
My daughter, if I expect anything from you in this life, it is only that you be safe.
The car drove to a neighborhood in Hounslow’s East End near Chaoyang Park, where Farren Austin and Amelia Bright both got out of the car and took Erlina Lee upstairs.
“Mom, the building in this neighborhood is not the newest, but the people here are very nice, you usually have nothing to do when you come down and turn around, you can make a lot of friends.”
Amelia Bright opened the door while drinking Erlina Lee’s introduction to the neighborhood.
When I was in the elevator, I met a few neighbors downstairs to say hello, the people here are all around 50 years old, most of the same habits, get up early and go to bed early, walk in the park.
Erlina Lee has lived tall and proud for more than thirty years, and a change in retirement might be a good choice.
This is Amelia Bright’s idea. After she talked to Farren Austin about the idea, she didn’t get much feedback, but Farren Austin didn’t object either, so she decided on her own.
“It’s pretty good.”
Erlina Lee entered the house, ring Chambers inside the house furnishings, nose a sore, turned sharply to wipe tears.
Amelia Bright is unsure.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
“No, it’s nothing,” Erlina Lee said, wiping tears from her eyes and actually looking a little flustered.
What’s wrong with this house?
Amelia Bright looked at Farren Austin with uncertainty.
She and Farren Austin have a lot of properties in their names, and this one is in Farren Austin’s name. It’s a very good condition, old-style apartment, with all the furniture and stuff readily available, and after looking around, it seems that this is where the living atmosphere is stronger, so I settled on this place.
“I’m fine, I’m going to the bathroom, don’t you guys have something else to do? No need to accompany me.”
With that, Erlina Lee headed for the bathroom.
Amelia Bright watched her back.
“There’s everything in the fridge, the babysitter will be here tomorrow, just tell me what you’re missing.”
Farren Austin then took Amelia Bright’s hand and said in a deep voice.
“Well, never mind, it’s time for us to go home.”
That’s all Farren Austin has said from the time he received the man in prison until now.
Both of them were walking to the door when Erlina Lee’s voice suddenly came from behind them.
“Farren …”
