Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 99 A Perfect Man

Nicholas then continued before I could say anything, “You have to eat something even if you don’t have the appetite. It tastes so good, I promise you’re going to love it anyway!”

Seeing as he was so enthusiastic about it, I decided to not refuse his offer. After all, we had originally agreed that I would treat him to a meal.

However, he drove straight up South Hill instead of heading to another restaurant.

There was a famous observation deck located at the top of South Hill which provided a stunningly beautiful view of the city, especially after the lights came on at night.

The winding mountain road was illuminated by street lights lined up on both sides. I had expected to see the entrance to the observation deck shortly after, but I was greeted by a bunch of luxurious villas instead.

“Did we take a wrong turn?” I asked in confusion while glancing about.

“Nope, this is where I live,” Nicholas said as he drove toward one of the villas and parked his car in the front yard. “All right, we’re here.”

What’s going on here? Didn’t he say he was taking me to dinner? I thought to myself as I got out of the car.

“Well? What are you waiting for? Go on in!” Nicholas began tugging at my hand when he saw me standing there, seemingly in a daze.

Still rooted to the spot, I stammered awkwardly, “I…I’m not so sure about this…”

Nicholas raised an eyebrow at me after a brief pause and asked, “What? Are you scared that I’ll do something nasty to you?”

I shook my head profusely. “No, I just… I just think it’s a little inappropriate for me to come to your house like this.”

“I’m the only one living here, so there’s nothing to worry about! Come on, let’s go!” he said with a chuckle.

Having no other excuse to refuse him, I simply kept quiet and followed him inside.

Nicholas handed me a brand new pair of men’s slippers after going through the front door, but I spotted a pair of pink women’s slippers inside the shoe cabinet.
