(MOVING OUT PREPARATIONS )
Your dad bought two apartments in my name and gave 1.5 million dollars to me before he disappeared" Elizabeth looked at Emma's surprised expression and continued
"and this house is one of the houses he bought in my name and as for the money, I have been saving it for a day like this and now I want to give the other house to you, although it's not close to where you work, I'll give you one million dollars so that you can buy a car" Elizabeth said
"thank you mum" Emma said and hugged her mum
"I can accept the house but I can't accept one million dollars, I just need two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and as for the car it can be purchased with only forty five thousand dollars, so mum you can keep the remaining money" Emma said releasing Elizabeth from her grasp
"no dear, okay why don't we do it like this, you'll take five hundred thousand dollars
And I'll keep the remaining money" Elizabeth said
"okay mum" Emma said with hesitation
"OK i have to get prepared" Elizabeth said standing up from the couch
"where are you going to mum" Emma asked
"are we not going to buy your new car, register the house under your name, and clean the house? oh my gosh i had no idea that we have so many things to do" Elizabeth said and ran into the bedroom to get prepared
"mum calm down, it's still 10:15 am so we can finish on time, there is no need to rush" Emma chuckled
*********
Few minutes later, Emma and Elizabeth left the house together.
They went to the car company to purchased a car first and since Emma already has her drivers license, she could drive
So they made the necessary documents for the car and left in it.
Afterwards they went to Elizabeths lawyer to collect the house documents, Elizabeth already called the lawyer beforehand so the documents were ready when they arrived. So Emma and Elizabeth just needed to sign on the documents, which they did.
After leaving the lawyer's office they headed to grocery store and they bought foodstuffs before going to Emma's new apartment.
They cleaned up the house, packed grocery into the freezer, and when they were sure that everything was ready they left.

When they got back home, it was already 4:00 in the evening
"so Emma since we still have some time why don't we pack your bags and take them to the apartment" Elizabeth said
"mum it seems like you're in a hurry to send me away" Emma said jokingly
"no dear, I'm letting you go with a heavy heart, but what can I do, it's for your own good sweetie" Elizabeth said and hugged Emma
"don't worry mum I'll be visiting you everyday after work" Emma said in Elizabeths embrace
"no sweetie don't worry about me and just focus on your work, you can visit me on weekends" Elizabeth coaxed
"okay mum, if you say so" Emma said
"Now let's go and pack your bags" Elizabeth said
Packing Emma's bags took up to an hour, and since they still had time they took it to the apartment.
It took thirty minutes for the duo to get to Emma's apartment so by the time they got there it was already 5:30 pm so they began to put her clothes inside the wardrobe. After doing everything they needed to do, they went home
"what would I do without you mum?" Emma said looking at her mum with teary eyes
"I'll always be here for you sweetie" Elizabeth said and they went home together
"mum since it took thirty minutes for us to get here, it will take thirty minutes for me to get to sparkling beauty from my apartment" Emma said receiving a nod from Elizabeth
"so I won't be coming back home tomorrow, I'll go to my apartment from work" Emma said
Hearing that Elizabeth became emotional and hugged Emma
"I'm starting to feel that I shouldn't let you go you know?" Elizabeth said hugging Emma
Elizabeth and Emma went to the room afterwards so they were ready to sleep by 8:00 that night
"It's been a busy day" Emma sighed climbing on the bed
"remember what I always say Emma, early to bed, early to rise" Elizabeth said cuddling Emma
"yes mum, that has been your slogan ever since I was in grade one" Emma replied with a sleepy eyes
"I love you mum" Emma said
"I love you too sweetie, now go to sleep" Elizabeth said and cuddled Emma more
and after a few minutes the mother and daughter went into deep sleep.
