Chapter 649

The Dixon estate wasn't your typical modern Western-style mansion but rather an old, sprawling Victorian house that seemed to hark back to a bygone era.

The entrance led through a somewhat gloomy courtyard, its color a dull gray, with patches of plaster peeling off the walls here and there. The front was laid with cobblestones that spoke of its age at first glance. However, as you moved further inside, a warm and inviting atmosphere enveloped you. The deep red wooden beams gave off an air of elegance and history, and the ornate gables possessed an imposing charm. Beside the cobblestone path, small plots of land were dedicated to a vegetable garden.

To have such space for gardening right in the heart of Lumina City, near the historic district, was quite a statement of luxury.
