Chapter 1068 - 1066: Thank You So Much, Mr. Lynch

"Listen to me..." Lynch patted the sofa beside him, and the maid pursed her lips, sitting down quietly.

Anna had just walked out of the bathroom door on the second floor and said "damn" before quickly returning to her room.

Actually, every room on the second floor has a bathroom, but it’s just a small bathroom with a toilet, a wash basin, and a shower, that’s all, no bathtub.

But the public bathroom on the second floor has a very large fish tank that extends out from the south side of the house.

At night, the city lights up, twinkling like stars in another sky.

Lying in the bathtub, holding a glass of wine, enjoying the comfort the bathtub brings, overlooking the entire city, perhaps only ancient rulers could have such enjoyment.

Actually, taking a bath in the evening is also a good choice, at that time the glow from the west falls on you, and the whole city is in the hustle and bustle before "falling asleep," watching the sky gradually darken, watching the city gradually quiet down, this is an experience that most people have never had.

Anna really likes this open bathroom; she takes a soak almost every night.

She just didn’t expect to see those things tonight.

Closing the door, with some inexplicable anticipation, she stood behind the door, ear pressed against it, seemingly wanting to hear what the two were saying, she was just doing her duty!

In the living room, the maid sat beside Lynch.

Lynch is a gentleman, he would never actively bully anyone, he didn’t touch the girl.

"...Buying a house means you’ll soon get married, right?", he asked.

The girl nodded, they plan to marry within three years, so they can have a child before they’re thirty, at that time they won’t be too old.

Moreover, the girl is thinking about finishing her current job, receiving an extra three thousand a month, she can get thirty-six thousand a year, that’s one hundred and eight thousand in three years, enough to pay for the loan and interest.

This way they would still have some money left, tens of thousands of yuan.

Whether continuing to work for someone else or doing a small business themselves, there’s no problem.

"Once you’re married, you’ll soon have a child. Do you want your child to be hurt by the bad education from those neighborhoods?"

"Maybe their teacher is a gang member, a teacher by day, fighting with others at night, using gang slang when speaking."

"From what I know, there are several gangs over in the West City, growing up in such an environment, your child might be more likely to join a gang than average children."

"Once they enter those gangs, their life is over."

"Whether they’re a boy or a girl!"

These words made the maid fall into deep thought, she certainly knows these issues are major problems, but their money is only enough to buy such a house.

And in three years, she’s not sure if Penny will continue to employ her and pay her a big fee she’d never dreamed of.

She doesn’t dare to gamble blindly; she can only choose a relatively conservative option.

As if seeing the maid’s burden, Lynch took out the checkbook, writing a long string of digits on the check, a full two hundred thousand, which is also the maximum withdrawal limit on the checkbook.

Any more would require a draft or promissory note.

Besides the check, there was also Lynch’s business card, without a phone number, but with his handwritten signature.

He put these two items together, gave them to the maid, "Take them, there’s a real estate company called... in East City, I’ve met their boss."

"Tomorrow, take this check and my business card directly to him, tell him the house you want, he’ll know what to do."

The maid suddenly felt a bit at a loss, unsure whether she should reach out and accept these things, or do something else.

Instinct told her she should do it, but she always felt, could there be a trap hidden here?

Lynch, very thoughtful of others, smiled and pulled the maid’s hand, stuffing the check and business card into her hand, "Don’t think too much, although sometimes I or Penny might be a bit excessive, please believe me, I’ve never intended to hurt anyone!"

Lynch’s expression was very earnest, he truly meant it, "Buying a house is one of the most important things in a person’s life, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard."

"If you keep company with demons, you will eventually become a demon."

"If you become neighbors with angels, then the Lord’s gaze will constantly watch over you."

"This money is nothing to me, but for you it brings more than just your living environment, it brings your child’s, and many more people’s future!"

The girl seemed convinced, moved, and despite her hesitation, she accepted the money with a final reservation, "I will repay you!"

Lynch laughed for a while after hearing this, "It looks like it will take you a lifetime to repay, but that’s also a good thing!"

A silent night passed, and early the next morning the maid slightly tugged at Lynch’s blanket, hugged her clothes, and left.

After preparing breakfast, she hurriedly left the Half Mountain Villa District; her boyfriend was still waiting for her.

For her... her heart was very complicated, sometimes confused, but at the thought of the check in her hand, her whole body trembled!

If she continued to work here, it would take her fifty years without eating or drinking to earn two hundred thousand.

If Penny continued to employ her, it would still take six to seven years, but she was unsure if Penny would keep doing so.

And as she grew older, she would surely be abandoned; these two hundred thousand came at a crucial time, although she also felt burdened with heavy debt — that was what she thought.

Lynch had never thought about the aftermath of the two hundred thousand; to him, a girl who could bring him happiness for a while was worth that price, perhaps even more.

As others brought him joy, why wouldn’t he let a little slip through his fingers?

For him, it was not much of a loss.

At ten in the morning, the maid waited for her boyfriend at the station.

Seeing a boyfriend who was not very handsome but reliable, somewhat simplistic, or rather rustic, the maid sighed helplessly.

"I told you, when you came, you should have worn the outfit I bought for you last time."

Her boyfriend scratched his head, "Sorry, I forgot, I just wanted to see you quickly and forgot to change clothes."

Looking at her boyfriend’s silence and honesty, the maid also felt a bit helpless. The relationship between the two was... not very intense, just inexplicably close, attracting each other.

Obviously, she shouldn’t have liked such ordinary people, but for unknown reasons, she chose him.

Maybe being with him gave her a very special sense of security, making her emotions and heartbeat gradually return to calm stability.

That sense of security fascinates girls, perhaps this is what agrees with the other half that those who like excitement adore.

No matter what they did wrong in their youth, no matter what mistakes they made, there would always be a harbor belonging to them, a lighthouse shining bright for them.

The two called a taxi, and while sitting in the car, the young man talked about some work issues during this period, and excitedly whispered to the maid, "Listen, dear, my uncle promised to give me three thousand five hundred bucks, our budget has increased a bit more."

"Didn’t you like a blanket last time a lot? Maybe we can buy it as well!"

Such warm-hearted words, perhaps after working at Lynch’s villa for a long time, the young maid also hoped to have a fluffy carpet in front of her living room sofa.

Sometimes going barefoot on it felt extremely comfortable, making her feel that life was very refined.

Listening to the mention of two thousand bucks, thinking of the check for two hundred thousand in her pocket, the maid smiled vividly, "Great!"

"This seems... not the way to West City." Midway, the young man noticed something was off, as the roadside buildings were becoming increasingly prosperous, which was obviously unlike West City.

Over there were all dilapidated streets filled with trash and stains, as nobody actively cleansed it, even city cleaners were unwilling to go there — because they might be robbed.

So the further west you went, the dirtier and messier it seemed.

But here, on both sides of the road, were clean and tidy streets, leaving the young man somewhat bewildered.

The maid smiled, "You know, I work for Mr. Lynch. He heard we were planning to buy a house, so he gave me a business card and introduced us to a better realtor."

While relieved, the young man was also a little embarrassed, "But our budget is not enough; houses in East City are too expensive, even the cheapest are close to two hundred thousand, and better ones exceed that amount!"

The maid slightly raised her chin, revealing her snow-white neck, completely attracting the young man’s gaze, leaving him in a daze.

He doesn’t know why he is so lucky; he swears he will treat this girl well in this lifetime no matter what she does!

"It’s okay; in Mr. Lynch’s honor, they will surely offer a discount, and Mr. Lynch also lent me some money; we can repay it slowly," she laughed, not saying anything further; the young man seemed to understand something and nodded repeatedly.

"I see..." Then he began to look forward to their future new home, and also praised Mr. Lynch’s generosity, "Mr. Lynch is a good person; you must help me convey my thanks to him!"

The maid instinctively squeezed her legs, "I will."
