Chapter Seventy Nine

Third Person POV.

As Amber and Richard stepped into his long–forgotten apartment, Richard was taken aback by the level of cleanliness that greeted him. Not a speck of dust could be seen, and everything seemed to have its place.

It was as if the place had been lovingly maintained and cleaned regularly during his six–year

absence, and that surprised him mostly because he didn’t remember putting anyone in charge of the

place.

Amber, her eyes filled with excitement, followed closely behind Richard. She was impressed with the

interior of the apartment, and she took in the simplicity and homeliness of the space, a stark

comparison to the style Amber was used to associating him with. “I’m glad you like it, Amber,” he

replied sincerely. “I was worried you might find it underwhelming.”

“No way. Richard. This is exactly my style. I love the unexpectedness of it all. It feels like a real

home, not just a place that screams billionaire.””

Richard let out a light chuckle. “That’s exactly what I was going for,” he admitted. “My other places

are a little too extravagant and expensive–looking, but this one… it feels different. It feels like me. It feels like a place I can truly call home. It’s too bad it’s in the wrong country.”

Amber was surprised to hear him mention that the place he believed genuinely felt like home was located in the wrong country, and she wondered why he harbored so much dislike for Italy.

Richard glanced around the apartment, his gaze lingering on the hallway closet. “So, what would you like to do first, Amber? We can explore
