Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2137

Cedric's face lit up. "That's actually a great idea! Fran mentioned it to me before, but I didn't agree because I wasn't sure what your opinion would be."

Andrew smiled. "What opinion could I have? As long as you think it's good, I'm all for it!"

After chatting a bit longer, Andrew stood up to say goodbye. His trip to Jayrodale was nearly complete, as he had visited all the places he needed. He still carried memories of this small city, but memories were just memories, and life had to move forward.

Andrew nodded with a smile. "It's me. Leroy, how's Mr. Stevens Senior's health these days?"

Leroy scratched his head. "He's doing pretty well. We came back to bring him with us to Blumedale so he can live with us."

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Going to Blumedale to live with you? Does that mean you've settled down there?"

Leroy gave an embarrassed laugh. "We've been troubling you all this time, Mr. Lloyd, staying at your place! But we won't anymore. Christie bought a house in Blumedale, it's big enough, so Grandpa and all of us will live there."

Andrew nodded and shifted his gaze to Christina, who remained silent beside them.

For her to now afford a house in Blumedale meant she had fought her way through hardship.

Andrew withdrew his gaze and said flatly, "Let's go."
