It was Nelly ‘s first visit to the manor. She thought it was going to be a simple house but realized she was too naive after she saw the actual building when she arrived.
There was a massive yard close to six miles surrounding the building. The entire structure was Chanaean style with a mix of modern aesthetics and living concept. It had three main entrances-the front gate, the courtyard gate, and the front door. The whole layout was imposing.
Doors and alleyways surrounded the courtyard forming an independent area in the middle like a quadrangle structure. The wealthy and influential Chanaeans commonly employed the design to display their status in the olden days. It was comfortable and gave the resident sufficient privacy.
After the car pulled to a stop at the front gate, Nelly turned to Alpha Kilian . “Have you been here before?”
Alpha Kilian shook his head. “No.”
“It’s more imposing and comfortable than I imagine. It looks like Grandpa and Old Alpha Morris have good taste,” Nelly praised.
It was rare to hear praises from Nelly . Alpha Kilian looked at her. “You like this style?” “I’m just admiring,” Nelly said.
I do like it but staying in a place like this is cumbersome. It isn’t convenient to enter or leave the house. Also, it feels too restrictive for a person that prefers to sleep in like me.
Meanwhile, Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes as though the wheels of his mind were spinning.
“Let’s go.” Nelly took the lead and entered the house. Alpha Kilian followed behind her in long strides.
The manor had three sections-a foreyard, a side yard, and a back yard. The view inside was even more spectacular. One could feel the beauty of all seasons underneath one roof.
Nelly glanced at her surroundings and felt an indescribable feeling surge within her. “I didn’t think the inside would be so neat despite the emptiness.”
Alpha Kilian clasped his hands behind his back as he strolled. “Of course. They hire some staff to maintain and clean periodically to keep the place neat. Hence, it definitely won’t be messy here. Especially these few days after they heard we were moving in. Grandpa surely would’ve asked for a few rounds of
cleaning.”
The corners of Nelly ‘s lips curved into a smile. I’m more reassured after moving in together.
They soon reached the main hall. As they stepped through the threshold, they spotted Tony and Donna learning how to make tea. With the injuries on his hands, Ben could only watch from the sides and occasionally chime in as though he was a professional.
I feel as though they are more well-behaved in such an environment and look like sons and daughters of the wealthy.
Coincidentally, Dan was coming out of the hall. He greeted them when he saw the two. “Alpha Alpha Kilian , Ms. Jackson .”
Alpha Kilian nodded. “Where’s Grandpa?”
“He’s inside, playing chess with Old Alpha Jackson ,” Dan answered. “They have been arguing the entire afternoon,” Dan added with a chuckle in a low voice.
Alpha Kilian smiled at his answer.
“I notice Old Alpha Morris is doing much better than before, both physically and mentally. The doctor said the same when he came to examine Old Alpha Morris today. The doctor even said Old Alpha
Morris could reduce his medication intake if his condition continued to improve,” Dan said in a cheerful tone.
Alpha Kilian felt immense relief. “That’s great, but don’t let your guard down. He still has to keep to his doctor’s appointments.”
“Yes, sir.”
“One more thing. Inform the doctor about Old Alpha Jackson ‘s condition too. Both the elders need regular checkups as a preventive measure.”
Dan replied, “Since Old Alpha Morris already had one today, he forced Old Alpha Jackson to get one too. It ended up with another round of argument. However, he couldn’t win against Ms. Donna ‘s plea and conceded to an examination in the end. Old Alpha Jackson is doing well. All of his stats are in the normal
range.” “That’s good.”
Nelly nodded. “Thank you, Dan. I’ll have to trouble you too in the future. Please continue to look after him.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Please don’t say that, Ms. Jackson . It is part of my job.”
“Um… I brought wine with me.” Nelly took out the bottle she had brought with hesitation.
Alpha Kilian ‘s brow arched and instantly reached for it. “Not bad. You know your stuff,” Alpha Kilian teased after checking the label.
“I just randomly picked one from the shelf.”
“You randomly picked one that costs hundreds of thousands?” Alpha Kilian asked with a raised brow. Dan’s eyes glinted with wariness after he heard about the price.
Nelly didn’t say anything. Alpha Kilian passed the bottle to Dan with a smile. “Send it to the kitchen, Dan. We’ll be having this tonight.”
Dan carefully took the bottle from Alpha Kilian . “Yes, sir.” He then cautiously carried it to the kitchen.
Alpha Kilian swung his gaze to Nelly . “Should we head inside and have a look?” Nelly nodded.
They proceeded further toward the inside of the house.
Tony and Donna focused intently on the tea set in front of them.
