Chapter 25 A Feeling of Home
Chapter 25 A Feeling of Home
Eliza, who had been left behind, was at a loss once more. She knew that she would absolutely not go
back to the Stone family. Her stepfather would definitely sell her out to Michael for his company. Not
only would that make her mother sad, but it would also even make things difficult for her.
Gracelynn’s house was a mess too, she could not continue to bother her anymore…
However, the scene in front of her… She was fascinated by all of it. The house gave her a feeling of
home. The fragrance of flowers in the yard wafted into her nostrils from time to time, and it lured her
forward. She could already imagine what the house looked like inside.
But, if she moved in, it meant that she would have to live with Tanner. When she thought of the life that
she was going to have, she felt that something was off…
She sighed secretly. She had a feeling that she was walking into a tiger’s den right after escaping from
the mouth of a wolf…
Whatever!
At worst, she would keep a distance from him, and they would not have anything to do with each other.
Besides, this was not the worst-case scenario. After all, he had brought her here already. She could Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
just run away any time if she wanted, right?
Eliza gritted her teeth and slowly walked forward.
The distance from the entrance to the main room was less than a hundred meters. It was surrounded
by flowers and green grass.
From the outside, she could see flowers everywhere, there was no need for those flowers to compete
for beauty, and there was no need for sparse appreciation.
When she got closer, she could see the barely visible path that led to every corner of the sea of
flowers. These paths were varied, some were wide, others were narrow. Some were straight, while
others were meandering. They looked messy yet natural.
This place… Someone must have taken really good care of it.
The man’s shadow in front of her stretched very long. At that moment, in that scene, he no longer
seemed to be such a cold person, he even seemed to be a little… lonely.
Eliza had to admit that Tanner was a perfect man, he was outstanding in all aspects. However, she still
remembered her sister telling her that Tanner was not someone who was easy to get along with and
that it would be best to not have anything to do with him.
In truth, she was a little bit scared of him too. Upon going deeper into her thoughts, it seemed like
Tanner was someone who actually scared her.
……
"Welcome, Mrs. Deleon!"
As Eliza was still deep in her thoughts, that sudden movement scared her. She had already
subconsciously walked to the front of the house. The servants that stood in front of her all bowed down
to greet her.
At first, she wanted to refute and say that she was not the owner of this house, but after remembering
that she had agreed to marry Tanner, she did not refute. She could only purse her lips.
At that moment, a woman walked out from behind the crowd. She had a kind face with a poised
composure.
“Hello, Mrs. Deleon, I am Ms. Bell, the person in charge here. In the future, if you ever need anything,
feel free to look for me. Mr. Deleon has already asked me to prepare some medicine for you. Please
follow me to the room to apply some medicine.”
"Oh... okay." Perhaps too many things had happened that day. Even then, she was still a little bit
confused.
She followed Ms. Bell into the house. Along the way, Eliza listened as Ms. Bell spoke about the layout
of the house, giving her a tour. On the first floor, there was the kitchen, an indoor swimming pool, a
storage room, a dining room. On the second floor were the master's bedroom and guest rooms.
Eliza followed her quietly from behind as she continued to look around the villa. It was a really warm
home, even the layout there was simple.
She followed her to the second floor and walked into the bedroom. There was a big floor-to-ceiling
window in the master bedroom, and the outside scenery could be seen. The furniture inside was mainly
amber-colored, which was the warm shade she liked. The faint fragrance of lavender added some
charm to the bedroom too.
However... the moment she saw herself in the mirror, Eliza could not stand it anymore. The bruise on
her face was so obvious that she felt so embarrassed. That was what everyone saw…
On second thought, no one showed any strange expressions just now, which was enough to show that
the Deleon family... was indeed different.
