"I wonder which celebrity Mr. Norton is bringing home this time," the guard murmured to himself.
The car came to a gentle halt, and an elaborately built villa lay in front of Helen. She was astounded by its grandeur and the power of money.
The chauffeur then opened the door, and two of them stepped out of the car.
Helen followed Fabian as he walked into the villa. Wow! She was blown away by the decor, design, and expansive space. It was poles apart from her house.
"This will be your home from now on," Fabian spoke calmly as he passed Helen the keys.
Oh dear, how much would it cost if this were a hotel...
"Wait a sec.” Helen finally came back to her senses. "Are you saying that I'll be staying here, this humongous house, alone for the night?"
He said that I'll be staying here from now on. What does that mean? Is he giving me the house?
"Why? Are you scared to be alone?" Fabian gave out a smirk
"Hmph! It's not a big deal." Helen took the keys and added, "Once Hannah's fully recovered, I'll return them to you."
"Just keep them. You can stay here when you visit Hannah. It's not too far from her place."
What!
He's really giving this villa to me? But Dellmoore's like a super expensive area, and this place is deceivingly palatial! It must've cost a few tens of millions at least, I supposed.
"I think it's okay. I'd get a good scolding from Hannah if she knew about this," Helen rejected his kind offer. At the back of her head, she thought that Fabian was too much of a spendthrift. She understood that she was his sister-in-law, but giving her a car and a villa on their first meeting was definitely a little unexpected.
