Chapter 219: The Proposal(2)
"You like the kitchen, right? It has everything you like... And the library has a lot of originals. I heard they have the original Tolkien too. We can check it out if we want," Liam said.
"Whoa, hold your horses... Why do you..." Rory found Liam’s enthusiasm a lot odd.
He did not go and buy this castle, did he? Oh, this fool! We will go under if he goes on a spending spree like this! Buying the castle is not the end. The maintenance cost would be ginormous. Does he even know? There was a reason castles were owned by f*cking Lords!
"Cherry, calm down..." Liam held her hand and brought her to the modern laundry room near the kitchen. He closed the door after asking the butler to wait for a moment. They still had a lot of the castle left to visit.
"Take a deep breath... I did not buy the castle," Liam told her. He could see that she was so worried about that. He cannot afford to buy this castle. Not with their economic condition right now.
But...
"Cherry, do you remember... Right after we returned from our honeymoon, your grandfather sat us down and talked about getting us a house?"
"...Yes..." Rory remembered that.
Actually, her grandfather talked about getting Liam a house. He even told Liam that he had become the "man" of the house and that every man needs a house. But then her grandmother barged in and talked over him in her usual way.
"But the apartment we lived in..." Rory asked. She thought that was her grandfather’s wedding gift.
"No, we rented that apartment, remember? You paid the bills. You know," Liam told her.
"Wait..." Rory thought hard. She had to think hard because the simple answer was so absurd. "you’re saying that... This... THIS CASTLE is the "HOUSE" grandpa bought for you?" she asked.
