Chapter 58
Wesley chuckled. "The extra 200 thousand dollars is the interest you deserve." With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let’s go upstairs and pick out rooms. If you’re missing anything, we’ll just buy it online."
The others didn’t pay much attention to the matter and followed Wesley upstairs, laughing and chatting. Avery stared at the figure on the IOU, her mind frozen for several seconds before a warm sensation flowed through her. Her nose tingled with a touch of emotion. Whether it was a million, ten million, or even a hundred million, those were just numbers to her. Yet, she could deeply feel the affection her parents had infused into that number.
She understood why her parents had given her the IOU in front of the whole family. They wanted everyone to witness that they indeed owed her a million dollars.
’Is this what it feels like to be loved by your parents?’ Avery thought with a smile. ’It feels wonderful.’
She sniffed, tucking the IOU into her bag before joining her family upstairs.
The second floor had a small living room at the top of the stairs. To the left was the spacious master bedroom, around 400 square feet. To the right, a hallway stretched out with two rooms on each side. Each room, about 300 square feet, came with a balcony, bathroom, and floor-to-ceiling windows—more luxurious than a five-star hotel room.
Claire waved to her daughters. "Maria, Avery, Josie, you three go ahead and pick first."
"I have a lot of study materials and equipment, so I need a separate room for a study. I also prefer a quiet environment for reading. If you all don’t mind, I’d like to take two rooms on the second floor of the annex," Avery said with a smile.
Everyone quickly agreed.
"We don’t mind at all. There are plenty of rooms. Take as many as you want," Josie said.
Josie looked up and raised her hand. "Avery, can I live next to you?"
