Chapter 425 - Help...My Wife is a Spy (Ending) (1/2)

Back in the main living area, there was a spiral staircase behind the elevator that Halia didn't notice earlier. She looked up and said in surprise, ”Is there another floor?”

Jackson grinned and nodded his head as he pulled his wife up.

When they reached the second floor, Halia was surprised to find that they were inside a small circular glass room with lounges that faced outside and a little bar with wine and drinks. Outside the windows, they were surrounded by a beautiful courtyard, filled with plants and flowers. It was like they had been transported to a secret garden in the countryside, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city below. Jackson led her out into the courtyard and down a small path, lined with sunflowers. As they reached the end of the path, Halia heard a familiar little bark. Her eyes opened wide in surprise and a little brown poodle came bounding towards her. ”Coco?!” Halia exclaimed. She immediately bent down to pick up the dog.

As she stood back up, she noticed the beautiful infinity pool in front of her, and not too far away, she saw a grandfather sitting underneath a plum blossom tree with his granddaughter. It was her father and Laurie. ”What are you doing up here?” she asked in surprise as she approached her father and daughter. Father Feng glanced at his daughter and smiled. ”Nappy change,” he laughed, ”and Laurie was feeling a little shy around all the strangers so Jackson told me to bring her up here for a bit.”

Father Feng handed the little girl back to her mother and sighed in satisfaction, ”Your husband really spoiled you this time.”

Halia nodded her head in agreement before she noticed another path that seemed to lead to somewhere. ”Where does that go?” she asked Jackson.

Jackson smiled and gestured for her to follow him as he led her down the path which circled to the other end of the building. As the path opened up, Halia gasped in amazement. Rows of gr.a.p.evines covered the roof of the building. At that moment, Halia remembered what Jackson had said about his dream home. Back in Guiyang City, he had said, ”I want to be able to smell breakfast cooking from the bedroom, I want to hear my wife's footsteps as she walks around the house, I want to look out the window and see her playing with the dog in the garden. I want a small vineyard so I can make my own wine and I want a deck where we can sit back and enjoy it.”

”Is this a vineyard?” she asked in surprise.

Jackson nodded his head. He had lived in France for many years and he even spent some time on a vineyard, so this was like a little piece of his second home.

”Do you like it?” Jackson asked.

Without any hesitation, Halia nodded her head. ”I love it! I love everything about this place! It's perfect!”

From the castle exterior, to the headquarters in the bas.e.m.e.nt, to their penthouse home, this place was perfect. Most importantly, not only was it close to work for her, it was also close to work for Jackson, who could run the casino from the comfort of his own home.

Halia held onto her daughter and felt a rush of emotions. She felt like the luckiest woman on earth. ”Thank you,” she said sincerely to her husband.

Jackson wrapped his arms around his wife and daughter and smiled with satisfaction, ”I'm glad that you like it.”

As the family of three stood there on the rooftop, enjoying their new home, Halia suddenly felt a slight vibration on her thigh. Jackson felt it too and slowly moved away. Seriousness immediately swept across both their faces.
