And well, we’d like to talk to Natalie as well about it. Right, Ellis?”
“Your grandfather is right, Hugh,” she smiled. “You are our grandchild, and while we’re upset with you, we still love you.”
“Thank you so much!
I love you guys!” Hugh said and embraced them. “I’m so sorry again for letting you down and disappointing you. I am very sorry…..Nat will be home soon.
She’d be so happy to meet you two!”
“We love you too, darling. Now let’s wait for Natalie to be back home, okay?” Ellis said, patting his back.
When Natalie returned home, Jeff and Ellis suggested the same idea to her. She was delighted to meet them and thanked them for stepping in to help them.
Jeff and Ellis lived with Natalie and Hugh at their home for over a month until Natalie got a transfer to Hugh’s hometown.
Once there, Hugh began looking for better jobs while Ellis and Jeff started their own small homemade bakery business, with Ellis in charge of the baking and Jeff in charge of the delivery.
The whole family managed to produce a solid monthly income and paid off the loan they had taken out for Hugh’s college.
Meanwhile, Hugh began working part-time while attending a local college to complete his degree. He worked hard to secure a scholarship, and it paid off.
Two months later, Hugh and Natalie welcomed their baby, Ava, and Jeff and Ellis stepped in to look after her while Natalie and Hugh were busy with work.
It took four more years for Hugh to be well settled to look after his family independently, but he did it. He got a good job when he graduated, and he even returned all the money he’d borrowed from Jeff and Ellis, who continued to run their bakery business.
Later, another good news knocked on the Jenkins’ doorstep, when Natalie and Hugh welcomed triplets.
