Melissa chuckled, pursing her lips as she thought. “It’s easy. It’ll work as long as we treat them well.”

“How do we do that?” asked Jesse.

She had already formulated a plan for that.

They had worked hard to run the small supermarket for years. Although they were not wealthy, their standard of living was considered above average in the city.

In addition to their old house in the alley, they had purchased a brand new condo in the city center.

Her plan was to leave the supermarket and the old house to Lina while they would live in the condo with their son. As long as they had some savings, everything would be fine.

Lina’s income would be guaranteed as she would take over the supermarket and have a place to live since they were also giving her the old house.

Moreover, the house was located in a great area with a school nearby. Its value would increase over time, and it would be convenient for them when they had children.

Melissa smiled as she touched the deed. “I’ll do my best as long as it’s for my daughter… Sigh. I think this should be enough to make Zeke stay!”

Jesse nodded and praised his wife for her wisdom.

Lina was their darling daughter, and if Zeke could take good care of her, Jesse would be relieved.
