Chapter 398


    For a moment, J thought she had entered Downtown Abbey. The ce looked too posh and


    elegant for her.


    “Are you sure this is the ce Mr. Larson mentioned?” J asked the man who was escorting her into


    themunity. And then she carefully examined the luxurious, exquisite vis on both sides.


    J knew she wouldn’t feelfortable living in such an opulentmunity.


    “Yes, Miss Lind. The entire neighborhood is the real estate project Mr. Larson has recently undertaken.


    He said you can move into any vi of your choice. We will help you pick the right one if you can’t


    decide,” the man replied politely.


    J was stunned.


    She thought Brandon would probably find a studio apartment for her but never thought a vi would be


    allocated to her. Themunity was located in the heart of the city, and the environment looked


    serene. J felt she couldn’t even afford a room here with her ten years’ sry put together.


    Besides, the man had revealed that the entire neighborhood belonged to Brandon. It looked like


    Brandon had endless wealth — what people saw was just the tip of the iceberg.


    The more J wandered around the vimunity with the man, the more uneasy she felt.


    She quickly took her phone out and sent a message to Brandon.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. The residence you’ve rmended looks very expensive. I can’t live there.


    Besides, with my current sry, I can’t afford the rent.”


    Brandon was prepared for such a situation. He quickly replied, “This is, by far, the smallest group of


    houses on my property. They are vacant now, so I decided to offer one to you. This way, I wouldn’t


    have to waste my time looking for other houses for you. The neighborhood is a new project. Can you


    do me a favor? I would like you to live there for a while and experience the service andfort of living


    there. I want you to experience everything and offer feedback and suggestions for improvement. If you


    offer this help, I’ll allow you to live there rent-free.”


    Although it seemed like a good offer, J didn’t dare ept it. She returned to the hotel where she


    and Ethan were staying for the time being and discussed the situation with him.


    “Mr. Larson’s house looks great,” she admitted honestly. It was a vi she could never afford in her life.


    “Well, since it is good, why do you seem upset?” Ethan could tell J was lost in thought. He couldn’t


    understand why she was upset even after they had found a house to live in.


    “But the house is too good for us. It’s too opulent and cozy. I can’t live there at ease.”


    Ethan pursed his lips and thought for a while. Then he said, “But he is asking you a favor. Besides, the


    hotel room is expensive as well. We can’t afford to stay here all the time. Why don’t we move into


    Brandon’s house first, and then continue looking for other houses? Once we find afortable ce


    we can afford, we can vacate the vi.”


    Ethan could understand J’s concern. She was hesitant to ept Brandon’s help because she


    didn’t want to be indebted to him all her life.


    J seemed reluctant regardless of what Ethan said. But knowing that his wife needed a nudge,


    Ethan took her to the vi that night.


    The vi was equipped with furniture of various kinds and daily necessities. They didn’t have to buy


    anything apart from personal belongings.


    J was frightened and ufortable about the extravagance, so she sent a message to Brandon


    that night.


    “Mr. Larson, thank you for your timely help. I will find another house and move out as soon as


    possible.”


    However, Brandon didn’t reply.


    Seeing J’s message, Ethan turned and nced at her. He could tell she was fighting a battle in her


    mind. J’s innocence made him fall in love with her all over again.
