Chapter 78: Stunned By His Skill
As soon as Iris stepped into the white house, she was greeted by a wave of warm air that instantly lifted her mood.
The house is not very wide but long and offers unobstructed beach views. What immediately catches her eye when she enters is the open-concept design of the room; the living room is connected to the dining room, with a spacious modern kitchen in the corner.
The interior was beautifully arranged with modern furniture. White and earth tones dominated the room. Even without a lamp, the room still looks bright, thanks to the abundance of natural light coming in through the large glass windows that frame the stunning sea views.
For a brief moment, she stood near the glass window, once again marveling at the beauty of the sea. Even though she was now inside the house, the sound of the waves crashing in the distance could still be faintly heard, deepening her liking for this place.
She had grown weary of the bustling city in her previous life, feeling trapped in her apartment and yearning for something more. She longed for what the city couldn’t offer her: nature, silence, and fresh air.
This place had been her dream before her previous life had come to an end—a peaceful retreat in a small yet modern house like this, exclusively for her, featuring a million-dollar view that she could enjoy daily while engaging herself in nature.
However, in her second life, she found herself unable to fully embrace the dream she had once longed for, as she was still bound to her past life as an assassin.
’God, I hope this assignment won’t last forever. I pray for your mercy and the blessing to live the life I dream of,’ she silently murmured to herself as her eyes took in the breathtaking scenery before her.
Satisfied with the view from her current spot, Iris promptly removed her coat and placed it on the sofa. At the same time, her gaze shifted to Xavier, who was busily working in the modern kitchen.
