Chapter 398 I Can''t Live Here
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.
They were in the downtown area of Seacisco. She could never find an affordable house here.
