Chapter 294

Everything in Avery’s house was brand new, a clear indication that he had just moved in.

The design of the villa was minimalist, featuring a monochrome palette of black, white, and grey. Evadne instantly recognized that all the furniture and appliances were top of the line, a subtle display of luxury.

Upon stepping inside, she felt a chill creeping up her spine, prompting her to shrug her shoulders slightly.

It wasn’t the lack of heating that made her uncomfortable, but rather the empty space coupled with the monotonous colors, which visually induced a sense of cold austerity. “Evadne, are you cold?”

Avery fetched a pair of white, plush slippers from the shoe cabinet, knelt on one knee, and presented them to Evadne. “Put these on. I’ll crank up the heating”

Evadne blinked slowly, extending her fair and delicate foot into the warm slippers

They were fluffy and comfortable.

And new. The size was a perfect fit as if they were prepared especially for her.

“Mr. Avery, welcome home,” greeted Cindy, their long time housekeeper, with a warm smile.

“Evadne, this is Cindy,” Avery introduced with a smile. “Cindy”

“I know, I know! It’s Ms. Evadne who you’ve been longing for, right? Nice to meet you, Ms. Evadne!”

Cindy was extremely enthusiastic, sizing up Evadne. “You are so beautiful. Such a beauty! My goodness. You are even more beautiful than the Miss Universe winner!” Evadne blushed at Cindy’s compliment. “Thank you, Cindy”

“Please come in, it’s cold outside. Mrs. Chambers is waiting for you!”

Cindy led them to the living room, occasionally throwing back glances at them, and the more she looked, the more she liked them, the more she felt they were a perfect
