Chapter 162: Chapter 162 New House

"Elena Ryan, shut your mouth!"

Although Old Master Ryan was old, his anger was resonant like a large bell, and his fierce shout startled Elena Ryan.

She nervously turned around and saw Old Master Ryan, leaning on his cane and rushing over, his stern face now filled with anger.

"Dad, why did you come down? Why didn’t you rest upstairs properly?"

Old Master Ryan’s health was poor, and he seldom moved around.

She had been home for several days, but she only saw him during meals.

Old Master Ryan snorted coldly and tapped his cane on the floor, making a series of dull sounds.

"Rest? With all the commotion you’re causing downstairs, how could I rest well?"

Elena Ryan was taken aback for a moment, her eyes dodging guiltily, "Dad, I didn’t mean to. By the way, Dad, have you contacted Lucas Shaw? I want to go back to Shaw Family!"

She didn’t want to stay here anymore.

Living here was simply not as comfortable as in Shaw Family.

Old Master Ryan sneered, leaning on his cane and sitting down next to the sofa, "You still want to go back to Shaw Family, don’t you know what you have done? Do you think Lucas, after sending you back here, will let you go back?"

Old Master Ryan helplessly shook his head, looking towards Elena Ryan with disappointment filling his eyes.

Seeing the veins bared on Old Master Ryan’s forehead due to his anger, Elena Ryan suddenly started panicking.

She had been afraid of Old Master Ryan since she was young. When Old Master Ryan got strict, it didn’t matter whether you were a daughter or a son.

The last time she defied Old Master Ryan, she was almost thrown out of the Ryan Family.

Recalling that time, Elena Ryan suddenly felt fearful.

She clenched her fists, feigning calmness on the surface, but inside her heart was already stirring with turmoil.

"Dad, she’s just a maid, do you need to yell at your own daughter over such an unimportant person?" Elena Ryan slowed her tone, her delicate face showing more grievance and vulnerability.

Elena Ryan rarely showed weakness to anyone, but the person she was dealing with was Old Master Ryan.

She wasn’t foolish; she knew what would be most advantageous for her; she had just disdained doing so before.

Looking at that face resembling his deceased wife, Old Master Ryan suddenly deflated, feeling a sense of powerlessness, "Enough, don’t do this again in the future. Servants are also humans, not tools for you to vent your anger on by hitting and scolding."

After saying that, Old Master Ryan sighed heavily and went back upstairs with his cane.

Watching his departing figure, Elena Ryan petulantly pouted her lips and quickly discarded his caution from her mind.

The next day at noon, Lucas Shaw cancelled all his appointments and instructed Brandon Reese to drive to the Continental Villa.

This time, Edward Selwyn did not stop him, and Lucas Shaw successfully brought his beloved wife back home.

Once in the car, Lucas Shaw kept holding Serena Summers’ hand, not wanting to let go, occasionally glancing in her direction.

Serena Summers initially did not take much notice, but Lucas Shaw kept repeating the gesture.

It was not tiresome; instead, it made him happy.

Serena Summers helplessly turned her head, looking puzzled, "What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Lucas Shaw gently shook his head, his usually expressionless face now showing some discomfort, "No. I’m just very happy. Serena, you’re finally back. Can we never part again?"

"Sure." Serena Summers smiled and nodded, extending her pinkie toward him, "Let’s make a pinkie promise."

Looking at Serena Summers’ pinkish-white pinkie, Lucas Shaw was momentarily stunned, then stretched out his own finger.

"Pinkie promise, hang by the neck, and not allowed to change for a hundred years. Whoever changes is a snapping turtle."

Lucas Shaw burst into laughter, "Why are you cursing?"

"I don’t know what you are talking about." Serena Summers blinked her innocent apricot eyes, a hint of bewilderment in her gaze.

But Lucas Shaw saw the cunning hidden in the depths of her eyes.

Fine.

The little ancestor I married back home.

What else can I do?

I can only continue to spoil her.

Lucas Shaw’s usual residence is located in the very center of Continental Villa.

Edward Selwyn’s villa, on the other hand, is situated at the westernmost end.

The two villas are not far apart, but there had been almost no interaction between them before.

If it weren’t for Serena Summers, Lucas probably would have never gone there in his lifetime.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a villa.

"We’re here, get out of the car."

Serena Summers turned her head to look out the window, and it was indeed the villa that Lucas Shaw had brought her to when they got married.

The villa was in a standard European style, with a decidedly simple and clear interior decoration style.

Simply put, it was almost void of any sign of life, showing just how monotonous Lucas’ life was before he met Serena.

Lucas Shaw grabbed Serena’s wrist and led her upstairs, "I have a surprise for you, close your eyes first."

Curiosity flickered in Serena’s eyes, and she obediently closed them, "What kind of surprise?"

Lucas followed behind Serena, gently covering her eyes with his warm palm, and led her step by step into the master bedroom.

With her vision temporarily shut off, her other senses became sharper.

As the footsteps continued, Serena’s heart also began to race.

Then, suddenly, Lucas’s cool and abstinent voice came from behind, "Alright, you can open your eyes now."

He slowly removed his hand covering Serena’s eyes, his dark pupils slightly downcast, filled with anticipation.

Serena opened her eyes, and what met her sight was the arrangement of the entire bedroom.

The originally minimalist room had added many decorations with a girlish touch. The sofa had been replaced with a new one that looked more spacious and felt softer and more comfortable.

The bed sheets were changed to white, the nightstand lamp featured a Hello Kitty design, and a new wardrobe had been added.

Without thinking, she knew it was all prepared for her.

Looking at the completely renewed bedroom, a sudden surge of inexplicable emotion welled up in Serena’s heart, bringing a tang of bitterness.

"Husband? Did you prepare all this?"

"Yep, this is our new room. Do you like it? Brandon Reese said the old room style was too cold and devoid of life, not suitable for a girl to live in."

He specifically consulted an interior designer and looked at many girls’ favorite decoration styles, and finally chose what he found most appealing.

Lucas Shaw slowly curved up a faint smile, pulling Serena deeper into the bedroom.

Beneath their feet was a soft carpet that felt as comfortable as if stepping on clouds.

Serena felt a bit light-headed, letting Lucas lead her forward.

When she came back to her senses, she realized they had reached the balcony.

The balcony had also been transformed.

A protective railing was added outside the window, and a white vine rocking chair was placed on the balcony, along with a small round table suitable for reading or sunbathing.

Suddenly, an image flashed through Serena’s mind of sitting on the balcony with Lucas, drinking and basking in the sun.

It was incredibly cozy.
