Chapter 53 - Welcome to Hillside Villa (Part II) (1/2)

”Besides, what's the used of all these rooms if not to be occupied by people worthy of it. And Mr. Ryan here is so deserving of it,” Olivia said as she bent her tall body to allow her eyes to meet with little pumpkin.

”What do you think?” she asked him. Little pumpkin stared at Olivia with his big eyes, trying to see if there was anything wrong with her. Not long after, he nodded.

”Big sis, it's okay. Besides, little pumpkin doesn't like sleeping with lights,” he said and slowly walked towards his big sister, asking for a hug.

The way he acted tugged Bella Lim's heart. She didn't wait long to pull him into a hug. She knew little pumpkin was comforting her, telling her to trust Eric Wu as well as Olivia.

”Alright, if little pumpkin said so, big sis will conform to it,” she ȧssured little pumpkin who was squeezing her body, probably worried that she would insist on her own opinion.

”Madam Olivia, thank you very much,” appreciation was the only thing Bella Lim could say. She knew what Olivia had mentioned was correct. Little pumpkin was already six years old. He needed his privacy.

”Good, I'll help him. You can go inside and look around. Tell me if you need something,” Olivia reminded before she escorted little pumpkin to his room.

Bella Lim watched them disappeared behind the door. Then, she entered her room.

”Wow!!” she exclaimed as she looked around. Just now she only took a glimpse and noticed that the room was big, but right now she thought the room was really big.

The style was similar to an expensive suite she had seen in an advertisement before. She had her own walk-in closet and a big bathroom. A cozy area to be lazy and a balcony to enjoy the mountain scenery. She loved how the light lilac color intelligently matched with muted pastel colors within the purple spectrum. The combination exuded a calm, serene energy to the place.

This was something she wouldn't dare to dream of living. Perhaps, she could only afford such indulgence once she was older and had enough savings.

Before reaching the villa, Bella Lim had no expectation about her room, but this, she was truly impressed.

She decided to check on little pumpkin who probably was reacting in a much bubbly manner compared to her.

When she walked inside little pumpkin's room, she noticed Olivia was walking on her toes, probably was trying not to create so much noise.

”Madam Olivia?” Bella Lim called, curious as to why she was walking like that.

”Shh, Mr. Ryan is sleeping,” Olivia muttered with one finger in front of her lips.

”Sleeping?” Bella Lim was surprised. She approached the bed and saw her little pumpkin sleeping soundly. She smiled and kissed his forehead.

”He must've been so tired,” she said in a low voice, enough to reach Olivia's hearing.

”He is,” Olivia responded. A gentle smile was on her face.

They both decided to leave the room, to avoid disturbing little pumpkin's sleep.

”Miss Bella-”

”Madam Olivia, just call me Bella,” Bella Lim interjected. It was awkward for her to listen to a senior called her name with so much respect. Plus, the woman next to her didn't look simple. She could be someone close to Eric Wu.

”Sure. Bella!” Olivia adhered to her request without delay as if she already anticipated for her to suggest such a way of calling.

She brought Bella Lim towards the center of the second floor. The area was like the living room for that particular level.
