Chapter 372: Visiting The New Lab II

"Very welcoming people," Susan started as they finally stepped into the one-story duplex structure — four bedrooms in total, according to Ewan’s text on that day.

"Yes. A good atmosphere and good people," Athena agreed, relieving Rodney of some platters and placing them on the dining table, her gaze drifting around to take in the surroundings.

The space was far smaller than the Thornes’ mansion, but it was warm, homely — the sort of place that invited you to breathe, to relax.

A good place for raising kids too, she thought. It was just... different.

The sitting room greeted them first, a tasteful blend of cozy and elegant. Soft cream walls met deep walnut floors, the gleam of the polished wood catching the afternoon light that streamed through sheer curtains. A low, plush sofa set in muted grey sat in the middle, the kind that seemed to invite you to sink in and never leave.

A patterned rug in earthy tones anchored the seating area, while a glass-topped coffee table reflected the warm glow from a corner lamp. There was a faint scent of lemon polish and fresh flowers; a vase of lilies stood proudly on a side table.

To the left, the dining area was open and inviting — a polished oak table with eight high-back chairs, the fabric a gentle beige that complemented the surrounding décor.

Beyond, the kitchen was neat and modern — white marble countertops, spotless chrome appliances, and an island in the center topped with a small basket of fresh fruit.

They explored the rooms one by one. The first downstairs room was modest but charming — a single bed with crisp white sheets, a reading desk near the window, and pale blue walls that gave the space a calm, airy feel.

Upstairs, three bedrooms waited, each with its own personality. One was done in warm amber and deep brown, another in light lavender with delicate curtains, and the third — larger than the rest — carried a soft neutral palette, a queen-sized bed, and an en suite bathroom tiled in pristine white.

Returning to the sitting room, Athena broke the silence. "Rodney, please put these platters inside the refrigerator and wait here. You can have some for yourself if you’re hungry. Susan, come with me."
