Chapter 686
“Vivian, why don’t I help your parents rent a house first?” Grace asked.
Vivian quickly waved her hand. “No need, they can stay here for a while.”
“It’s okay. You’re my employee, so just consider it an employee benefit. Mr. and Mrs. Greene, can I have your IDs?” Grace requested.
Shawn and Jaclyn hesitated for a moment and glanced at Vivian. Seeing no objection from her, they handed their IDs to Grace.
Only then did the family’s tense expressions eased.
Austin played at Vivian’s house for a while and had dinner with them before going home around nine o’clock.
The next day, Grace went to the company and called Alice to her office.
Grace said, “Please help me to find a house with three or four rooms, in a neighborhood with high greenery, low density, quiet surroundings, and good lighting.”
Alice asked in surprise, “Miss Nova, are you buying a house? Aren’t you living with Mr. Francis?”
Grace placed Shawn and Jaclyn’s ID cards on the table. “It’s not for me. These are the buyer’s IDs. Pick three good options, and I’ll personally visit them this afternoon.”
Alice glanced at the IDs’ photos and asked, “Are these Miss Vivian’s parents?” “Yes, please don’t mention this to her,” Grace said.
Alice nodded. “Miss Nova, you’re so good to your future sister-in-law.”
Grace smiled. “Compared to their life-saving favor, material things seem trivial.”
“I like trivial things!” Alice joked.
Grace chuckled and glanced at her.
Alice stuck out her tongue and said, “I’ll go find some houses now.”
In the afternoon, Alice found several options and both of them went together for viewing. They finalized a river-view house worth over 600 thousand dollars.
Grace paid for it in full.
Later that day, Grace completed all the transfer procedures and went to Vivian’s house with the keys after work.
Upon learning the house’s location, Vivian was surprised. “It’s at the Riverside Vista. The neighborhood is quite expensive, and it’s a large apartment. Grace, we don’t need such a big house. Let’s get
one.”

“The environment here is better, especially for your parents’ age. Living in a quiet
neighborhood is beneficial for their health,” Grace explained.
Jaclyn asked, “Miss Sherman, how much is the rent?”
Grace replied, “As I said, this is the staff dormitory for Vivian, so there’s no need to pay for the rental.”
Jaclyn felt embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but Grace hurriedly said, “Mr. and Mrs. Greene, I don’t know how to repay your kindness, and this is all I can think of. I will never forget your family’s kindness. Austin, Carson, and I wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for you two and Vivian.
Shawn thought for a while and looked at Vivian. In the end, he nodded in relief. “Okay, thank you, Miss Sherman.”
“Miss Sherman, we have another request,” Jaclyn said after hesitating for a while.
“Go ahead.”
“It’s about Joy. She’s been living with
ё
us for five years. Now that you two
are reunited, we miss her. Can we
visit her when we come here in the future?” Jaclyn asked.
Grace smiled. “Of course, Joy misses you too. Let’s have dinner together
tomorrow. Joy’s grandmother hasn’t met you yet.”
