Chapter 139 - House Tour (1/2)
Ch-138
”We are here,” Cedric announced. He parked the car aside. They saw Raymund was already waiting for them.
”He is fast,” Eleanor commented.
”Hmm… well… he is doing a surprise check in the nearest branch which is coincidentally ten minutes away from here. And so… he is fast,” Cedric said.
”Mhh..” Eleanor responded.
”Hi, ray,” Cedric greeted.
”Nora, Raymund Owen,” Cedric introduced him to her.
”Hi, Raymund,” Eleanor greeted.
”Hi, sister-in-law,” he greeted.
”Aww… you are cute,” she said, looking at his two dimples.
”Thank you,” Raymund said as he scratched his neck awkwardly.
”What about me?” The vinegar factory asked.
”You are hot,” Eleanor said. Cedric was satisfied with her answer.
”My babe is the best,” he complimented and bent his head to give her a quick peck on her lips.
”I am still single,” he said.
”Do you want me to find you some girls?” Cedric asked.
”No,” Raymund said with a horrified face.
”Then don't mention that you are single,” Cedric replied with a scowl on his face which irritated Raymund.
”Let's go inside,” Eleanor said. The three of them walked inside.
”I thought it's a villa but turned out to be a mansion,” Eleanor said.
”Yeah… There are only seven mansions here. And this is one of them,” Raymund said.
”Mhhh...mhhh,” Eleanor responded.
”What do you think of the house, Sister-in-law?” Raymund asked.
”It's white. Completely white…” Eleanor commented the moment she laid her eyes in the big mansion.
”You don't like it?” he asked.
”Some black or grey or gold finishings. Complete white is blinding me,” Eleanor commented.
”Maybe black would do,” Cedric said.
”Hmm,” Eleanor agreed.
”I will get it done,” Raymund said.
”Let's go inside. Let's see what more is there to change,” Raymund said.
They nodded and followed him.
”I guess… it would be better if we have a fountain in the middle and a flower bed around the fountain,” Eleanor said.
”I shall note it down then,” Raymund said, opening his notepad.
”Thank you,” Eleanor thanked.
”The design is simple, elegant, and cool. I like it,” Eleanor said.
”I am getting lots of compliments today,” Raymund said.
”You should get them from me. Only then will they be counted,” the Vinegar factory said with a scowl.
”You mean… my compliments don't work?” Eleanor said as she walked to his front while crossing her hands against her chest.
”No! I don't mean that!” Cedric was quick to prove his innocence.
”Then what do you mean just now?” Eleanor asked.
”I am stupid. Forgive me,” Cedric said. He could say she was getting angry. It means he shouldn't rile her up. After all, as a man, he knew better survival instincts.
”You better know it,” Eleanor said and walked ahead.
”Put some potted plants near the entrance door,” Eleanor said as she walked ahead followed by Raymund and Cedric behind her.
”It's a biometric lock? Nice,” Eleanor commented.
”It would be great if the floor is carpeted,” Eleanor said the moment she entered the hall.
”Color?” Raymund asked.
”Blue,”
Eleanor stood in the middle of the hall and looked around.
”Cedric,” she called.
”Yeah?”
”What do you think about our picture on that wall? A wall-sized photo,” Eleanor asked.
”That would be great,” he said.
”Let's have our wedding photo there,” she said.
”I love that,” he said.
”But… a photo everyone has. We need to make it different,” she said.
”How do you want to have it? A painting?” Cedric asked.
”I think it would be unique with seashells? Or white polished stones that are used in aquariums?” she said.
Cedric was shocked at her idea. She is so unique.
