Chapter 71: Gladly, Baby

"What is this?" I asked in shock while staring at the entire place, amazed but at the same time confused.

We were standing in front of a bungalow house. Its walls were black and white, and at first glance, I knew it was expensive. I couldn't even imagine how much money was spent here.

There was a garage on the left side and a small swimming pool on the right. There were also lights everywhere, surrounding the edges of the walls, though they weren't turned on since it was noon. Still, the house looked peaceful and refreshing.

"Yes, we are. The food is inside," Ash answered, offering me his hand. "Shall we?"

Confused, I took his hand. I was just curious-why a house and not a restaurant?

I felt more astonished as I entered the house.

The furnishings were simple but elegant. Even the abstract paintings room, the appliances carefully chosen in black, white, or gray, and the large bookshelf looked expensive.

To the left of the room was a small staircase, and if you went up, you'd enter a bedroom. In the middle of the space was a large black curtain, and I guessed that behind it was the kitchen. The house was small, but it seemed perfect for two people.

"Did

you like it?" Ash asked as he gently squeezed my hand.

"This is great!" I couldn't help but clap as I told him that.

His hand, which was holding mine, also got pulled along when I clapped, and he just laughed while I couldn't stop smiling.

"I love the style! Where did you buy it, and how much?" I asked as I turned to him. "I want a house just like this, too."

"But this is our house," Ash said, tilting his head as he stared at me, looking puzzled by my reaction. "That's why I'm asking for your thoughts. If there's anything you don't like about the house or if you want to change something, just tell me." "Wait... What do you mean?"
