Chapter 38 She Is Still Inexperienced

Ever since Walter realized that Jonathan was interested in Michaela, his discussions with Wayne mostly revolved around the woman.

As such, when the butler heard Jonathan addressing Michaela by the shortened form of her name, he knew who she was straight away.

Besides, ever since the Shappiray Mansion was built, it was the first time Jonathan brought a woman home, and that alone showed how much Michaela meant to him.

Jonathan had always been a conscientious and cautious man. The fact that he had brought the woman home was a sign that he was very serious about her.

At the thought that Michaela could be the future lady of the house, Wayne was secretly delighted and made a point to introduce the features of the mansion to her as they walked from the main hall to the inner courtyard.

 

He started off with the vintage rosewood tables and chairs in the living room before showing her the standalone quadrangle courtyard.

Apart from the main hall, there were private rooms on both the left and right sides of the courtyard.

 

According to Wayne, the luxuriously-designed area was used to host guests. The main hall was the dining area while the rooms at the sides functioned as guest rooms.

After they walked past the main hall, Michaela was stunned by the enchanting view in front of her.

There was a beautiful pavilion, and tall pine trees lined the sides of the garden. There was also a man-made fountain surrounded by rockery and exquisite plants. It was a truly lovely sight to behold.

Noticing the woman’s astonished expression, Wayne smiled as he led her down the long corridor and said, “Ms. Michaela, we will reach the inner courtyard after passing by the garden, and Mr. Xander’s room is in the main building of the compound!”

“Is this really Mr. Jonathan’s home?”

Mr. Jonathan…

The corners of Wayne’s lips twitched slightly before he replied with a straight face, “Yup. In fact, Mr. Xander had designed the entire house himself. Ms. Michaela, be careful of the steps!”

After the two of them walked down the steps and left the garden, two mansions appeared in front of them. Wayne started speaking again, “This is the building that Mr. Xander lives in, while the grey building is the servants’ quarters. There’s also a golf course behind. Feel free to take a walk around and explore the compound when you’re free!”

After the butler finished speaking, he swiped a key card in a card reader, unlocking the door of the main building. As he opened the door, he said, “Mr. Xander does not like noise. Apart from the servants who are in charge of tidying up the place, no one else comes here.”
