Should I Stay or Leave? novel Chapter 47

"Thanks a lot. You hear that Kai, we will go to the amusement park tomorrow, and daddy will stay here."

Kai giggled and clapped. Looking at my son happy made me think it's okay even if I am uncomfortable living in the same apartment with Acwell.

The next day, after my shift, I walked to the subway and found Acwell sitting on one bench. He smiled when he spotted me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked when I went near him.

"I figured I could wait for you here. It will not make you feel uncomfortable as compared to if I wait for you outside the diner," Acwell replied with a smile.

"But why would you wait for me here?"

"I always wanted to pick you up from work. And this idea just came to me last night."

"You don't have to pick me up, Acwell. I have been doing this since I came here. I can take care of myself."

"I still want to. I even want you to quit your job if only I could persuade you."

"Let's just go home."

"I am sorry to offend you. I want you to quit your job and find another one that you like and would not make you so tired as you are now."

"Given my visa, I cannot be choosy."

"I know; I will find a way that we could change that to at least a working visa, if not a green card."

"Let's continue this at home. The train is already here."

While we were having breakfast, Acwell said, "I have contacted some friends, and there is one that is a lawyer here. But he is not an expert with immigration, so he will find someone who doesn't charge that high."

"That's great, thanks! I have been trying to find one, but most of the lawyers I talk their fees are beyond my budget."

"Hopefully, my friend will be able to find one. He said that he knows some people. Anyway, take a rest after eating. I will take care of the dishes, and we go to the amusement park later, around 02:00?"

"Ah, yes. Thanks, Acwell."

We went to the amusement park, and it was fun. Kai enjoyed it very well, mainly when he and Acwell played games and rode the carousel.

"Why did not I take Kai here before?" I asked myself and remembered that my finances were very tight even now. But with Acwell here, we get to enjoy a little fun.

We went home when Kai was already exhausted and sleepy. He even fell asleep in the taxi.

"Kamiah, I will just go, pick up my luggage and bring it here," Acwell said after dropping Kai on the bed when we arrived back at the apartment.

"Sure. I will be preparing our dinner," I replied.

Acwell came back just in time when the food was ready.

"It smells good," Acwell said, smiling.
