Love doesn't have to be hard

Chapter 31: Two Years Later

March 2023:

Liam is now two years old, and he is such a mess. He is so funny. Life has changed a lot, and we will both be graduating in two months. 

We were both so happy that we were graduating early. We both have received job interviews. Zed had worked at CWU to create a glowing plant. 

A company in New York has offered him a position as a full-time Quantitive Genetics Process Scientist, paying him one hundred and forty-three thousand starting out, that's two thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars per week. That equals to around sixty-one dollars per hour. He will be required to work forty-five hours a week, nine hours a day, with an hour lunch, and he will work from eight to six every night.

We are flying to New York this week so he can formally interview for the job. He is really excited about it, and this is the perfect job for him. So, we are going to fly, he's going to interview, and if he is hired. We will look at the land and start building our house. 

I am pretty excited about this job. I would only be five hours from Landon. We will be close to Pennsylvania and Connecticut. We have been looking at land online in the area.    

I haven't responded to my job inquiries. I mean we are moving to a new city with no family or friends. I don't want to be away from my son. He is two, and I just want to stay home with him. Plus, we are discussing our second child.

Hardin and Molly moved in together last year, and so far, I guess they are doing pretty well. I don't like the fact she has slept with my husband, but he's mine now and has said she wasn't that good of a lay.

My mom isn't happy that Zed, myself, and Liam will be moving out of Washington. She was pretty upset by it, and then she threw my father in my face. 

He has been coming around her and trying to get in touch with me. I just don't know him, and I have a son to protect. She did tell him I was married and had a son. I lived in Seattle and was doing good. 

I just don't think I can bring him around my child. It came out that Christian is Hardin's Dad at his Mom's wedding. Hardin was so pissed when he came over. He has been really good to Liam. He comes by several times a week to visit him.

Sometimes, Molly is with him. Other times, it's just him. Kim has been asking me about New York and if I would be willing to work there and help run the office if Christian opened one near my area.

She did say that Liam could come to work with me. They would be willing to hire a daycare worker, and he could play with other kids who had parents working there. 

Christian is willing to pay me seventy-five thousand to start out with. He even offered to send Trevor and Krystal to my office so I would have friends.

So, Zed and I have been discussing it. With both of us working, we could pay off our house sooner and enjoy our life together. She agreed to two months' vacation, and Trevor would be helping me run the office.

If we pay four thousand a month on our loan, we could have our house and property paid off in less than eleven years. With both of us working, we would be making two hundred and eighteen thousand a year. 

We would have over two thousand a month to live on. Zed has drawn things of how he wants our house to look. He wants seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms on the main level. A full basement suite with Three bedrooms. A library, an entertaining room, a dining room, a kitchen, and an enclosed area in the back to enjoy our summers. 

He said it would cost about half a million to build. Thankfully, we don't have to pay for plans since he already drew them up. He has shown me colors, and we pretty much have the interior colors set.
