Just as Elysia was about to ask her questions, Javier’s voice came from behind her, “After all these years, this room has waited for you.”

Confused by his words, Elysia turned to him in surprise until he explained, “On Evelyn’s fifth birthday, she received a separate room. Mom thought you should have one too.”

He continued, “Even if you don’t actually live there, it’s a cherished memory. She decorated it just for you. For all these years, servants have come every day to clean it, and the furniture has been replaced time and time again.”

Hearing this brought tears to Elysia’s eyes; she had never realized that Quinita had put so much thought into preparing this room for over a decade. It turned out she had her own room in this house all along.

Turning to Quinita, Elysia embraced her tightly, inhaling her gentle, comforting fragrance. Elysia’s heart swelled with an indescribable warmth. Her home was simply too sweet.

Javier watched the tender moment between Quinita and Elysia and pretended to complain, “Elysia, you have no idea how hard we fought to get into this room when we were kids; Mom wouldn’t let us in, worrying we’d mess up the floor.”

Quinita shot him a sidelong glance, quickly retorting, “You were always such a messy little rascal. If I had let you in, the floor would have been filthy in no time.”

“Alright. We all know how much you prefer our sister; we’ve gotten used to it,” Javier said with a chuckle.

Just then, Holden chimed in with a fake sad tone, “They say the youngest son is the most spoiled, but that’s far from my case. Throughout my childhood, Mom never decorated a room for me.”

“Are you done?” Edward’s deep voice echoed from behind Holden, causing him to jump.

Holden’s expression changed in an instant, and he nodded. “Yes, I’m done.”
