She pushed open a wooden door and walked in. There was a large lawn, a pavilion, a rockery, a fountain, and a huge bed of flowers...
After walking with Amelia for some time, Karen saw a three-story French-style building.
The interior decoration of the building was simple, which was styled with a nature-theme. This was in line with Kevin's style, and Karen knew this.
Along the way, she had been in awe of the place that was as beautiful as paradise. If she could live here more often, she should be able to extend her lifespan for a few more years.
Amelia did not enter the room. She stood at the door and said, "Since Director Kevin is here at the retreat, he would not let you live in the ordinary guest rooms."
Karen thought to herself, "Those guest rooms are also very expensive, aren't they? How can they be ordinary? However, compared with the private villa area here, those guest rooms were far less expensive."
Amelia added, "Mrs. Kyle, this is a private area. No one can come in. You don't have to worry too much."
Mrs. Kyle?
It was the first time that someone addressed her this way. Karen blushed and her heart raced. "Amelia, you can just call me Karen."
Amelia smiled and said, "You are Director Kevin's wife. I can't find a more suitable name to address you than 'Mrs. Kyle'."
Amelia's words were true, but Karen and Kevin did not even hold each other's hands, and her face became hotter.
"You should go in and rest. I'll leave first." Amelia smiled and left politely.
Standing in the large living room, Karen looked around and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Kevin came in, he thoughtfully took the backpack that Karen hung on her shoulders, and took the lead to go upstairs. "The room is on the second floor."
His legs were long, but he slowed down deliberately so that Karen could keep up.
Karen followed him and said, "Kevin, can I discuss one thing with you?"
Kevin opened the door and entered the room. He put her backpack on the luggage table and said, "The accommodation was arranged by Amelia."
Karen did not know what to reply, "..."
Well, she should take things as they come.
Kevin walked to the window and opened the thick curtains. Looking out from the wide French windows, one could see the boundless sea. On the distant horizon, the sea seemed to be connected to the sky. This was the so-called merging of sea and sky.
Occasionally, she could hear the sound of waves hitting on rocks, like happy music.
Karen sighed sincerely, "What a beautiful place!"
Kevin said, "If you like it, we can come here often in the future."
Karen shook her head. "I don't like it very much."
It was not that she didn't like it, but she didn't want to spend her hard-earned money like this. She also didn't want to spend any more of Kevin's money.
Although Kevin had given her a bank card a long time ago, she did not intend to use it at all. If they were to be divorced one day, she would be able to leave more easily.
Kevin could tell that Karen was not telling the truth, but he stopped asking and said, "Let's eat first. After eating and resting for a bit, you have to take part in the department activities in the afternoon."
Karen nodded. "Okay."
After a while, Kevin said awkwardly, "Karen, if you want to enjoy a hot spring at night, you can come back here and enjoy it in our private hot spring pool."
Karen shook her head instinctively and said, "I want to have fun with everyone else."
