The next day, Diamond woke up early, feeling refreshed. It’s been a while since she slept that long without interrupting her nights. So, she was in a good mood.
She went for her morning jog and returned to the villa where she came across everyone who was wide awake. A very rare occasion in the villa.
After greeting everyone, she returned to her room, where she showered and found a nice outfit for the day.
When all was done, she went downstairs to join her family and everyone was gathering.
It was finally the day when Ma and Pa Perry were leaving for Taco Town. Their flight was at ten o’clock that morning, so they all needed to leave as early as possible.
Being a Monday, Ruby wouldn’t be sending the couple to the airport as she had classes and Garnet had other issues to take care of at work, thus leaving Diamond with the honors.
"Mom and Dad, travel safe and don’t forget to tell me when you are home, okay?" while they were eating, Ruby said coyly as she blinked cutely at the two.
Ma Perry looked dotingly at her and ruffled her head playfully as she responded, "I will tell you. And don’t forget to concentrate on your studies.!"
"I won’t."
After breakfast, Ruby hugged Ma and Pa Perry goodbye before entering her car to go to school. She left under everyone’s watch and Garnet was next.
After that, Diamond and the two got into the Arcadelle SUV and left as well.
In front and at the back of the Arcadelle, there were other SUVs with bodyguards and some of them belonged to the parents.
Since they were returning home, the bodyguards were following as well.
On their way there, Diamond and the couple chatted merrily.
"Dad, when you buy the farm, don’t forget to tell me. I will fly over there and help deal with the water issue," she said to him, smilingly.
Pa Perry nodded with a smile, happy to hear that. He had seen the two dams at Diamond’s farm. He didn’t know how she did it and how she was able to keep the dam water levels that high. He wasn’t going to ask, since he knew that his daughter had a lot of secrets.
Sometimes, it was better not knowing. Moreover, as long as she wasn’t doing anything immoral, it wasn’t his turn to ask too much.
"I will tell you when that happens."
"Um, don’t forget!"
"I won’t."
***
The journey to the airport was very smooth, and they got there on time. Diamond followed the parents to check in and once she had settled everything, she chatted with them for a while before saying her goodbyes.
She still had other things to do. Besides, that wasn’t farewell for good. They would still see each other. So, there was no need to act that sad.
Moreover, there was a reason why she needed to leave her parents that fast. The person who was bringing her deeds was waiting for her at the airport. So, she needed to meet with the other.
