Chapter 2042

While chatting, they made their way back to the living room.

Kyra held Bennett’s hand and asked, “How long will you be staying this time? And what about your engagement to Joann?”

“Don’t worry about it, Grandma.

It has been taken care of.

Let’s not talk about it anymore,” Bennett said, helping Kyra sit beside him.

He added gently, “Actually, there’s something else I want to talk about.

”

He saw Kyra look at him in confusion, so he explained, “I want to take you and Grandpa abroad.

You are getting on in years, and you’re all alone here.

We are far from you.

If you fall ill, we won’t be able to take care of you right away.

Mom and Dad also agree with it.

”

Kyra didn’t say anything.

But hesitation was written all over her face.

On the other hand, Byron had a solemn expression.

Bennett understood their concerns.

He quickly reassured them, “There’s no rush.

You don’t need to answer me now.

I have a project here that will take at least six months to finish.

You can use this time to think it over carefully.

But seriously, I look forward to taking you abroad with me.

He paused and hesitated for a moment before he added, “And if Uncle is still here, he will definitely come with us.

”

As soon as he said this, tears welled up in Byron’s and Kyra‘s eyes.

Kyra couldn’t help sobbing bitterly.

It had been a long time, and they had not heard anything from their youngest son.

No news about him, either.

In their hearts, they already knew he was probably gone.

But whenever he was mentioned, they felt like a dagger pierced their hearts.

Bennett knew his words

were harsh.

But he had to say them.

Otherwise, they would not move on and learn to face the truth.

He didn’t want his grandparents to spend the rest of their lives agonizing over his uncle’s disappearance.

“Uncle was a very filial son.

He would never want you two to be alone,” Bennett said softly.

The sadness on Byron’s and Kyra’s faces made Bennett feel bad.

After a while, Kyra finally stopped crying and regained her composure.

She took Bennett’s hand and said, “Let’s give it a little more time.

We’ve waited so long already.

Who knows, maybe one day we’ll hear something from him.

”

Bennett understood them very well.

The years of waiting had made them cling to a glimmer of hope.

So, he nodded in agreement.

“Okay.

I’ll wait with you, Grandma.

”

Kyra’s expression softened.

She said, “Speaking of which, you’ve been searching for years.

Even if you haven’t found your uncle, how about his daughter? Have you found any clue about her whereabouts? Where is she?”

When his grandmother brought up his cousin, Bennett’s thoughts immediately went to Stella.

However, Bennett had done some digging and discovered that Stella’s mother had never lived in Seamarsh, which meant they probably weren’t related.

Bennett quickly snapped out of his daydream, not wanting to get his grandmother’s hopes up unnecessarily.

He said gently, “Sorry, Grandma.

There is no news about my cousin either.

It’s been a long time, and the whole situation was quite unexpected.

We don’t have much to work with.

It might be tough to find her, but I’ll do my best.

”

As the hint of hope in her eyes dimmed, Kyra’s face dropped.

She sighed deeply, her eyes closing as she complained, “Why did my boy have to endure all this? They were once so content.

Byron said with a sigh, “Your grandma has been looking for answers for years, and it’s natural she’s feeling anxious.

Don’t stress yourself too much, Bennett.

Sometimes, no news is good news.

It’s been years, and I’ve made peace with it.

Tell your parents not to worry.

I’m actually thinking about moving abroad.
