Regardless, it was a few days later when Raine’s mother was finally discharged from the hospital. It was also the day Raine’s family would move into the villa.
With that in mind, Gerald had made sure to remind Raine and Dexter to pack all their clothes and personal belongings before getting Raine’s mother from the hospital. That way, Gerald could immediately drive all of them to the villa once Raine’s mother was discharged.
Then again, there wasn’t much to pack in the first place. After all, as Gerald had previously said, the villa was already fully equipped with furniture and electrical appliances.
Whatever the case was, the second the trio entered the villa, they were instantly left dumbfounded.
It took him a while to snap out of it, but when he finally did, Dexter couldn’t help but fumble a few steps forward while exclaiming, “M-my god… This… This is extravagant…!”
Yollande and Raine themselves remained stupefied in silence, unable to believe that they were going to live here from now on.
Turning to face Gerald, Dexter—who was still having trouble accepting all this—then added, “A-are you really sure we can live here, Gerald…?”
Giving a firm nod, Gerald then replied, “As I’ve said before, I’d never joke about something like this, uncle. Also, since I own this villa, you don’t have to worry about trouble from others. I should also mention that you won’t have to worry about paying for any of the utilities either.”
Hearing that, Dexter was left utterly flabbergasted. What a saint!
After calming down a bit, Dexter gulped before asking, “…Gerald… What… exactly do you do for a living…?”
“I’d like to know as well! Until you tell us, there’s no way we could live here! We simply wouldn’t dare! After all, this is a massive favor you’re doing for us! We don’t even know how to repay your kindness yet!” added Yollande.
Seeing how keen all three of them were to find out, Gerald knew that he couldn’t hide it from them any longer.
Whatever the case was, it was evening by the time they were done unpacking.
Seeing that Raine and Gerald were now sitting on the living room couch, Dexter took Yollande upstairs to allow their daughter to have some alone time with Gerald.
After a brief silence, Raine couldn’t help but say, “…You know, you’re really good at hiding secrets, senior… You really surprised me earlier!”
Simply grinning in response, Gerald then chuckled before replying, “Sorry, Raine. Didn’t mean to hide it from you!”
“Well, there’s no need to apologize… I get why you chose to hide your identity!” replied Raine in an understanding tone.
