- Back home, Dad cautiously brought up the
- く
- idea of resigning and starting his own small
- business at the dinner table.
- He carefully asked for Mom’s and my
- opinions.
- “If I start a business, life won’t be as stable
- as it is now.”
- “And we’re not exactly rolling in money. I was
- thinking of selling our house and getting a
- smaller one in the suburbs.”
- “What do you think?”
- Mom frowned.
- “Honey, maybe we shouldn’t? Sarah’s about
- to start college, and then after she graduates,
- we need to save for her wedding dowry. What
- if…..”
- “We’re not young anymore.”
- They knew about me and Jake, so for years,
- even though many people tried to poach Dad
- away from Evans Enterprises, he never
- wavered. Knowing Jake was an only child, he
- <
- was even more dedicated to his work there,
- and felt awkward about leaving.
- Dad pursed his lips.
- “Well, then…”
- I suddenly spoke, interrupting him.
- “Dad, I support you starting your own.
- business.”
- I knew what Dad was capable of. He had
- experience, having been in the industry for
- years, and he had the necessary resources.
- Due to my grandparents‘ health issues over
- the years, we didn’t have much in savings.
- He must have really wanted to start his own
- business, and he must have thought it
- through carefully, otherwise he wouldn’t have
- asked us at this time.
- “Do what you want to do.”
- Dad’s eyes reddened.
- Mom chimed in, “You’ve really grown up,
- Sarah.”
- <
- “Honey, go for it.”
- Once the decision was made, Mom
- immediately contacted a real estate agent.
- Although our house was old, it was in a prime
- location. Plus, Dad had set a reasonable
- price, so it quickly went under contract.
- The new owners agreed to let us stay for a
- few more days.
- Mom and Dad went to look at houses in the
- suburbs every day after work.
- Until my birthday arrived.
- Mom got off work early and asked me to
- deliver a few slices of birthday cake to the
- Evans family.
- I hesitated for a moment.
- But under Mom’s urging, I walked to Jake’s
- front door.
- She didn’t know Jake had forced me to
- transfer.
- <
- After all, Jake had maintained that I wanted
- to transfer on my own.
- While she didn’t agree with it, seeing the
- finalized transfer notice, she’d just sighed and
- hadn’t said anything more.
