“Hey, it’s nothing. Don’t just stand outside. Come in and have a look.” Caleb waved his hand, leading them inside. He had his subordinates help with the luggage while he personally gave them a brief tour around the manor.

After a general look around, Neera found herself more satisfied with the place, feeling much more relaxed, both physically and mentally.

Jean had been watching her expressions all along. He then asked softly, “Do you like it?”

Neera didn’t even have to think before nodding. “Like it? Of course, I like it! Who wouldn’t love such a beautiful and grand manor? Being able to live here is truly a stroke of luck.”

Jean lowered his gaze, looking into her sparkling eyes. A faint smile tugged at his lips when he said, “It’s good that you like it.”

His efforts were not in vain.

Beside him, Caleb looked on, his teeth nearly falling out from the sourness, almost blinding himself in the process. Is this really the same cold-hearted His Lordship? A man falling in love can be quite terrifying, can’t it?

It seemed as if Jean could hear Caleb’s thoughts. Jean’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he turned his head to glance at Caleb.

Caleb shivered all over, quickly averting his gaze.

By the time the group made it into the manor, they were all quite exhausted.

Neera whispered to Jean, “This manor is just too vast. We had covered a large part of it, but that was just a cursory look. If we were to tour the entire garden, we’d be completely exhausted.”

Jean smiled with pursed lips.
