Chapter 135: A Familiar Face
"The chef will start working from tomorrow, but if you’re hungry, I can cook something real!" Rita continued, giving a small tour around the villa.
"No, thank you," Evelyn replied with a small smile, observing the details of her home for the next few weeks.
The ground floor of the villa exuded elegance and warmth, with its open-concept layout featuring a spacious living area, modern furniture, and colorful art on the walls. Large, expansive glass windows showcased glimpses of the beautiful night sky, bringing peace into the area. Polished hardwood floors added a touch of sophistication, while strategically placed indoor plants added a hint of nature indoors, creating everything that could make her feel at home.
There was an adjacent kitchen that caught Evelyn’s attention. It was decorated with bold, sleek colors, highlighted by state-of-the-art appliances and a large island, perfect for both cooking and social gatherings. A rectangular dining table stood nearby, large enough to seat at least ten guests.
"This way, ma’am. Your room was originally upstairs, but Master ordered it to be moved downstairs so you wouldn’t be too exhausted to climb upstairs." Rita added, making sure to share all she’d overheard the designers discuss that morning. The villa was secretly guarded by men outside, and with her there to protect Evelyn, it didn’t matter on which floor she stayed.
Evelyn smiled at Rita’s words. The more she praised Zevian, the more Evelyn missed him.
As Evelyn followed Rita down the hallway, they passed a few rooms she believed were arranged for AWE staff before stopping at the end of the corridor. Rita, with a smile, opened the door to Evelyn’s master bedroom.
Evelyn was amazed at how the room mirrored her own back in Vespera City. Large windows framed the moonlit balcony, a space where she’d enjoyed warm coffees and laughter with her darling husband. A large king-sized bed with plush bedding sat on a small dais, where she would read Kiana fairy tales and put her to sleep.
There was a medium-sized couch in one corner, a dressing table at the other end, a luxurious en-suite bathroom, and a spacious walk-in closet. Everything felt like her own home, and a smile spread across her lips when she noticed their photos placed on the nightstand. She walked closer and picked one up, a chuckle replacing her earlier smile. It was a picture taken at AWE’s party, and she realized Avery must have also played a part in this surprise.
