Chapter 161

Laurel’s POV

I stood in Blake’s villa living room, trying to look casual while scanning the place. A noise from upstairs made me tense up. Someone was definitely moving around up there.

“What was that sound?” I asked, looking at the ceiling.

would have found you!”

I looked around the room. “And decorated like this…”

The cottage–style decor was everywhere – flowers, warm colors, soft fabrics. Nothing like the modern style Blake usually preferred.

“I hate this cottage style,” I said honestly. “It looks tacky and cheap.”
