The car arrived at the Everheart Residence.
Xavier stopped the car and looked around. “This ce is pretty nice, but it’s not very lively. I even
heard it’s haunted and that’s why the previous owner moved away. Aren’t you scared staying in such a
large ce by yourself?”
Renee smiled and said, “What’s there to be scared of? Humans are much scarier than ghosts. I’m not
even scared of humans, so why would I be scared of ghosts?”
She unfastened her seat belt, opened the door, and was about to get off the car.
Xavier stared at her and suddenly felt like he wanted to spend more time with her. He couldn’t help but
ask cheekily, “Aren’t you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?”
Renee turned around with a gentle smile on her face. She said calmly, “Sure. I happen to have some
high quality Earl Grey.”
Her smile was like a blooming red rose, charming and brilliant. It captivated Xavier…
Xavier suddenly became shy. He moved his gaze away unnaturally and cleared his throat. “Don’t mind
if I do.”
The two got off the car and went into the Everheart Residence.
These days, the Everheart Residence was no longer as run-down as it used to be, thanks to the joint
efforts of Renee and Margaret. The overgrown weeds had turned into a sea of flowers. It looked like a
fairnd.
“Wow! This house looks ordinary from the outside, so I didn’t expect it to look so refreshing and elegant
inside. This looks like a noble’s garden…”
Xavier took a deep breath and stretched with pleasure. He asked without any shame, “Do you have
any spare room in the house? Can Ie and stay for a few days? I’ll pay ten times the rate of a 5 -
star hotel…”
“You have no idea how much stress I’m in recently due to thewsuit. I really need to rx. I think your
house is a much better ce to rx the mind and body than any resort out there.”
Xavierpletely made himself at home, as if he was returning to his own house.
“You really have no shame! Don’t push it!”
While saying that, Renee opened a cupboard and took out her treasured Earl Grey to make tea for
Xavier.
Margaret was not in – she probably went out to do grocery – so there were only the two of them in the
large vi.
But for some reason, Renee did not feel awkward at all. There were noplicated emotions, as if she
was merely meeting up with an old friend.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Perhaps Stefan was the only person in the world who could make her feel awkward and give her
complicated emotions.
Renee was very skilled in brewing tea. After filtering the tea leaves with a tea filter, she poured the tea
into a purple ceramic teacup. Wisps of smoke curled up from the cup, filling the air with a faint aroma.
Xavier carefully gave it a sip and praised, “What a good tea!”
“d you like it.”
Renee also sipped her cup of tea. Her every move and smile was elegant.
Frankly speaking, she was actually quite grateful to Xavier because he was willing to rent her thend
at a low price, which would help her tremendously.
Even if he did not mention the cup of tea, she had nned to treat him to one anyway.
The tea room was located on the second floor. It had arge French window that provided a great view
of the back garden.
In the back garden,rge patches of golden sunflowers shook in the wind. The scenery made one feel
rxed and happy.
“Your sunflowers are blooming brilliantly. I remember the Hunt Vi used to have lots of sunflowers
too… You really do love sunflowers, just as Stefan said. Do sunflowers have any special meaning to
you?”
Xavier asked curiously while admiring the sunflowers.
“They don’t have any special meaning.”
Renee sipped her tea slowly and exined nonchntly, “I used to like sunflowers because of their
flowernguage, but now, I like sunflowers because I think they have a strong character. No matter how
bad the environment is, they always grow towards the sun. It’s very inspiring!”
“What’s thenguage of sunflowers?”
