Rebirth as The Vampire Lord's Wife -
Chapter 134: Growing Suspicious
Chapter 134: Growing Suspicious
When the boys were talking downstairs, Iris was supposed to sleep but couldn’t sleep at all, even though her eyes felt heavy.
Her mind couldn’t stop thinking, especially when she saw that the room’s interior had changed a lot since the last time she saw it, a week ago. Before, this room only had a simple bed in the middle, a small wardrobe, and a bathroom.
But now? She felt like she was entering a new part of his house.
"Why did he redecorate this bedroom?" She mumbled while strolling through the room, which had become twice as big as before.
The color of the room had become more mature with earth-tone colors.
She also spotted a few pieces of art, like paintings hanging on the white wall and a few objects that she didn’t understand, but metal and gold accessories in a few spots — they all looked gorgeous.
And when her eyes fell on the new room connected to her bedroom, she gasped, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Gosh! He even made this beautiful study room?"
Iris couldn’t help but feel that Xavier was trying hard to impress her. He had created a beautiful study room almost surrounded by a bookshelf.
What stole her attention now was the study room, surrounded by French windows with stunning scenery outside. In the corner of the study room, there was a modern sofa set with pastel colors in the corner.
Looking at this place, she felt she was returning to her old apartment in her last life. Somewhat, she felt a warm feeling engulfing her. The thought of wanting to visit her country came to mind.
She was lost in her thoughts for a slight moment; however, a few seconds later, she remembered her suitcase.
Iris glanced around, looking for the suitcase she had sent yesterday. She wanted to arrange her clothes in the wardrobe. However, she couldn’t find it. She walked to check her wardrobe on the other side of the room, near the bathroom area, and was shocked by what she found inside.
The previous wardrobe, where she usually placed her belongings, had now turned into a door that led to a walk-in closet.
She was utterly speechless.
"Gosh! He moved an expensive boutique to his house. Why are so many women’s items of the same size neatly arranged here?" She muttered while entering the walk-in closet and opening the cupboards inside.
Before long, Iris stopped when she realized something. All the clothes and accessories in this place were similar to her belongings in her house at Gray Cafe. Almost all the clothes were dark-colored, with a simple but classy style.
There were only a few pieces of clothing with bright colors and more feminine styles. They all looked like party gowns.
"How did he know my taste in clothes? And why did he buy a brand I liked in my past life?" Hearing her own words could make her feel goosebumps and realize something.
"Did Xavier know about my real identity?"
Countless questions now filled her mind, making her even more puzzled.
After trying hard, Iris couldn’t find the answer she needed. For now, she tried to put aside her curiosity and worries.
Because, at that moment, there was something more urgent than that. Iris had to check this room. She wanted to ensure there were no CCTV cameras or recording devices inside.
Iris was doing this not because she didn’t trust Xavier but because it was her habit. She usually did this in a new place she would use to stay.
With her sharp eyes, Iris scanned all the corners of the room: the bathroom, her study, and the bed. But, after a few minutes of searching, she found no hidden cameras or recording devices.
She feels relieved.
...
Now, another curiosity appeared in her mind when she remembered that Xavier had forbidden her to go to certain parts of the house. This clearly left her confused.
She returned to her study and spotted a desktop computer on the desk. She immediately turned it on and tried to check the house’s CCTV through the local network in this house.
However, after a few minutes of sitting in front of the computer, her forehead furrowed in confusion at what she found.
"A house as luxurious and sophisticated as this doesn’t have a single CCTV?" Iris muttered to herself in disbelief.
She was further confused because she had never seen a CCTV camera or guard at the main gate several miles away from this house.
"Is he this confident that his house will be safe from intruders?" Another puzzle weighed on her mind.
She sat there, staring at the computer for a few more minutes, lost in deep thought.
Before long, Iris stood up from her chair and walked towards her bed. She lay there, gazing at the ceiling.
"Among all the strange things happening around Xavier, the one that makes me most suspicious is that I can’t read Xavier and the others’ inner thoughts..." She let out a deep sigh.
Iris felt helpless around him because she still couldn’t sense his inner emotions, even though she had level two for the Mind Controller ability.
This was strange. Because of what she had heard from Gavriel, no human could resist that ability. But how could Xavier and the others do it? Why did they have such strong mental minds?
Thinking about the many peculiar things happening around Xavier made her mind hazy, and she couldn’t think clearly.
At the same time, she felt her eyes growing heavier. She slowly closed them and fell asleep in no time.
Just before Iris was fast asleep, Xavier’s figure appeared near her bed.
His golden eyes stared at Iris with a gaze that was difficult to describe.
There was worry and confusion in those eyes when he heard her suspicions about him and the others.
Now he understood what Lucian had said to him a few days ago; it wouldn’t take long for Iris to know who he was.
