Chapter 356 - Home In Guiyang City (1/2)
After their quick stopover in Beijing, Halia and Jackson flew back to Guiyang City early the next morning. By the time they arrived at Father Feng's place, Coco was already there and he was running around the back garden, exploring his new temporary home.
As soon as Father Feng saw the couple, he ran over to them with a relieved expression. ”You're finally back! Hurry and deal with the monster, I don't know what to do!” he exclaimed. The monster he was referring to was obviously Coco.
Coco had arrived two days ago, but since he arrived, Father Feng had not stepped foot into his back garden due to fear. In fact, he was so scared of the dog that he had to feed it by throwing food over the balcony.
Halia laughed and walked outside with Jackson.
As soon as Coco saw his owner, he ran up to Halia and jumped into her arms.
Ever since she joined the police force, Halia had been taking one case after another and traveling all over the place. As a result, she had spent a lot less time with Coco than she wanted, so she was happy to finally have some time with her little companion.
Whenever she wasn't around, Cleo and Max took care of Coco. In a way, Coco was their matchmaker, so they treated him like their own. Thus, while Halia and Jackson were away on their honeymoon, Cleo and Max took Coco to a d.o.g.g.y day spa and gave him a professional haircut.
As he buried himself in Halia's arms, the little brown poodle looked like a teddy bear. Halia couldn't understand how her father could be afraid of something like this, but he was clearly terrified as he watched them from behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He opened a little gap in the door and yelled out, ”I made an appointment with a realtor for you. He can take you to inspect a few properties this afternoon. You can see if anything suits your tastes.”
Halia looked at Coco and laughed. ”I've never felt this unwelcome before. It's all because of you,” she joked. Of course, she didn't really blame the dog. In fact, she was thankful that the dog gave her an excuse to live in her own place with Jackson.
The little dog looked up at her with his round eyes and stuck out his tongue as he puffed excitedly. He had no idea what Halia was saying, but the sound of his owner's voice made him happy.
Halia kissed the little dog on the head.
That afternoon, Father Feng's realtor friend met with the couple and took them around to some of the best properties on the market. Father Feng was a famous billionaire and so was Jackson, so the realtor assumed they wanted the best. The first house was huge with 10 bedrooms, a 10-car garage, a pool, and even a tennis court, but the couple quickly turned it down. It was just the two of them and the dog, why did they need such a big place?
He then took them to a modern, high-tech house, that was run on smart devices.
As soon as they walked through the door, a voice said, ”Welcome home.” The curtains then opened, the air-conditioner turned on, and some music started playing.
This house was a lot smaller than the first one, but because of all the technology, the price was similar.
