Riches in Disguise

Chapter 281

I wasn't just flattering myself. I truly felt that Lina's caption was about me.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. If Lina had loved me back when I was head over heels for her, we would probably be that enviable couple. I would've given her the best of everything, and she would've made me the happiest person alive.

However, life had its ironies. When she started to regret it, my heart already belonged to Felicia. Thinking about Felicia now only made me feel even sadder.

Just as I was lost in thought, the door to the room across from me suddenly opened a crack. Then, a young girl peeked her head out. She looked to be about six or seven years old.

After glancing around, she finally locked eyes with me. I smiled at her, but she immediately frowned and slammed the door shut.

This made me freeze in place. Reflexively, I touched my face, wondering if I somehow looked that scary.

Just then, Lynn said, "I've got the room all set up for you, William. Please take a look and see if it suits you. If there's anything you're not happy with, I can fix it for you."

I couldn't help but chuckle. "I'm just crashing here for the night. So, I'm not looking for anything fancy. As long as there's a bed to sleep in, I'm good."
